the_o thing_n that_o be_v cesar_n the_o answer_n be_v that_o although_o it_o be_v a_o forcible_a usurpation_n in_o julius_n cesar_n yet_o before_o that_o time_n the_o matter_n be_v accord_v between_o

cesar_n in_o the_o senate_n and_o people_n and_o so_o it_o continue_v all_o julius_n cesar_n time_n but_o how_o come_v the_o senate_n and_o people_n to_o lose_v their_o right_n in_o the_o time_n of_o

all_o the_o right_n which_o the_o emperor_n have_v be_v by_o devolution_n from_o the_o people_n and_o so_o they_o act_v by_o virtue_n of_o that_o power_n which_o the_o people_n give_v they_o

no_o other_o act_n but_o that_o of_o the_o people_n give_v up_o their_o right_n and_o then_o the_o case_n of_o obedience_n to_o the_o roman_a emperor_n will_v be_v find_v very_o different_a from_o that_o of_o the_o northern_a kingdom_n where_o the_o people_n never_o give_v up_o their_o right_n in_o such_o a_o manner_n but_o in_o case_n of_o difficulty_n concern_v succession_n the_o three_o

something_o may_v be_v say_v from_o dion_n and_o strabo_n as_o to_o the_o former_a but_o there_o be_v no_o pretence_n as_o to_o the_o latter_a for_o it_o be_v a_o mere_a arbitrary_a act_n in_o
