for_o all_o that_o there_o be_v different_a kind_n of_o legal_a right_n and_o a_o hereditary_a right_n be_v one_o the_o objection_n be_v general_a of_o a_o legal_a right_n and_o the_o answer_n be_v

any_o but_o hereditary_a kingdom_n and_o why_o so_o be_v there_o no_o legal_a right_n to_o government_n in_o any_o but_o hereditary_a kingdom_n and_o may_v not_o a_o hereditary_a right_n in_o hereditary_a kingdom_n be_v the_o foundation_n of_o the_o relation_n not_o as_o it_o be_v hereditary_a but_o as_o it_o be_v legal_a and_o other_o legal_a right_n be_v the_o foundation_n in_o other_o kingdom_n but_o say_v he_o the_o same_o râ—â—â—â—tion_n can_v have_v but_o one_o foundation_n very_o well_o and_o then_o a_o hereditary_a right_n can_v be_v the_o foundation_n but_o a_o legal_a right_n may_v for_o the_o foundation_n may_v be_v one_o as_o it_o be_v legal_a though_o divers_a as_o it_o be_v hereditary_a or_o elective_a but_o say_v he_o there_o be_v a_o great_a many_o way_n whereby_o prince_n be_v advance_v to_o the_o throne_n a_o hereditary_a right_n the_o election_n of_o the_o people_n the_o nomination_n of_o god_n a_o divine_a entail_v and_o conquest_n which_o very_o

all_o these_o be_v different_a foundation_n there_o must_v be_v different_a kind_n and_o species_n of_o kingship_n that_o may_v very_o well_o be_v though_o not_o because_o the_o foundation_n be_v

law_n of_o the_o respective_a country_n and_o i_o wonder_v what_o the_o doctor_n mean_v when_o he_o immediate_o add_v whereas_o the_o relation_n between_o king_n and_o subject_a be_v the_o same_o in_o all_o now_o he_o tell_v we_o that_o government_n be_v the_o relation_n of_o a_o king_n and_o allegiance_n the_o relation_n of_o a_o subject_a and_o if_o the_o relation_n be_v the_o same_o in_o all_o

the_o english_a government_n and_o the_o english_a allegiance_n be_v found_v on_o the_o english_a law_n and_o constitution_n as_o the_o government_n and_o allegiance_n in_o other_o country_n be_v found_v on_o their_o respective_a law_n and_o then_o the_o foundation_n of_o the_o relation_n between_o prince_n and_o subject_a be_v the_o respective_a constitution_n of_o each_o country_n which_o though_o they_o differ_v specifical_o as_o they_o be_v different_a law_n yet_o they_o agree_v in_o the_o general_a as_o they_o be_v law_n now_o say_v the_o doctor_n we_o must_v find_v out_o such_o a_o

will_v not_o serve_v the_o doctor_n and_o therefore_o he_o say_v and_o that_o can_v be_v no_o other_o but_o the_o authority_n of_o god_n by_o which_o king_n reign_v and_o to_o which_o subject_n owe_v

of_o each_o country_n or_o annex_v to_o they_o if_o abstract_v from_o the_o law_n than_o government_n and_o allegiance_n be_v the_o same_o in_o all_o country_n for_o where_o the_o foundation_n of_o

but_o if_o they_o be_v not_o the_o same_o as_o it_o be_v plain_a they_o be_v not_o then_o whence_o arise_v the_o difference_n not_o from_o the_o authority_n of_o god_n abstract_v from_o law_n for_o that_o be_v the_o same_o in_o all_o country_n but_o from_o the_o different_a law_n and_o then_o the_o authority_n of_o god_n be_v the_o foundation_n of_o this_o relation_n as_o that_o authority_n be_v

anoint_v or_o at_o the_o same_o time_n that_o athaliah_n be_v on_o his_o throne_n but_o the_o dr._n start_v a_o new_a question_n and_o that_o be_v whether_o a_o private_a man_n may_v kill_v a_o

to_o a_o usurper_n i_o now_o come_v to_o his_o second_o answer_n which_o relate_v to_o his_o distinction_n of_o god_n entail_v the_o kingdom_n of_o judah_n to_o david_n posterity_n &_o of_o other_o
