a_o king_n and_o that_o of_o a_o king_n great_a than_o that_o of_o a_o duke_n or_o petty_a poten●ate_n and_o yet_o of_o king_n we_o say_v that_o the_o king_n of_o denmark_n have_v not_o so_o great_a a_o prerogative_n as_o the_o king_n of_o england_n nor_o the_o king_n of_o england_n as_o the_o king_n of_o france_n etc._n etc._n for_o here_o though_o their_o honour_n and_o title_n be_v the_o same_o yet_o their_o power_n be_v not_o sometime_o prerogative_n signify_v as_o much_o as_o sovereignty_n and_o in_o this_o general_a consideration_n we_o say_v that_o all_o supreme_a commander_n be_v equal_a and_o that_o they_o all_o have_v this_o essential_a inseparable_a prerogative_n that_o their_o power_n ought_v to_o be_v ample_a enough_o for_o their_o perfection_n and_o good_a of_o the_o people_n and_o no_o ample_a because_o the_o supreme_a of_o all_o human_a law_n be_v salus_fw-la populi_fw-la so_o this_o law_n all_o law_n almost_o stoop_v god_n dispense_v with_o many_o of_o his_o

general_a and_o comparative_o we_o say_v it_o be_v a_o harmonious_a composure_n of_o policy_n scarce_o to_o be_v parallel_v in_o all_o the_o world_n it_o be_v neither_o so_o boundless_a as_o to_o opresse_v the_o people_n in_o unjust_a thing_n nor_o so_o straight_o as_o to_o disable_v the_o king_n in_o just_a thing_n by_o the_o true_a fundamental_a constitution_n of_o england_n the_o beam_n hang_v even_o between_o the_o king_n and_o the_o subject_a the_o king_n power_n do_v not_o tread_v ●nder_a foot_n the_o people_n liberty_n nor_o the_o people_n liberty_n the_o king_n power_n all_o other_o country_n almost_o in_o christendom_n differ_v from_o we_o in_o this_o module_n of_o policy_n some_o but_o very_o few_o allow_v a_o great_a sphere_n of_o sovereignty_n to_o their_o prince_n but_o for_o the_o most_o part_n now_o adays_o the_o world_n be_v give_v to_o republiste_n or_o to_o conditionate_a and_o restrain_a form_n of_o government_n howsoever_o we_o ought_v not_o to_o condemn_v any_o nation_n as_o unjust_a herein_o though_o differ_v from_o we_o for_o though_o they_o seem_v perhaps_o very_a unpolitic_a yet_o it_o be_v hard_a to_o be_v affirm_v that_o god_n and_o nature_n ever_o ordain_v the_o same_o method_n of_o rule_n or_o scope_n of_o loyality_n to_o all_o state_n whatsoever_o beside_o what_o dislike_v soever_o we_o take_v at_o other_o regiment_n yet_o except_o it_o be_v in_o very_o great_a excess_n or_o defect_n we_o must_v not_o think_v change_n always_o necessary_a since_o custom_n in_o those_o great_a and_o general_a point_n obtain_v the_o force_n of_o another_o nature_n and_o nature_n be_v not_o to_o be_v change_v divine_n of_o late_o have_v be_v much_o to_o blame_v here_o in_o preach_v one_o universal_a form_n of_o government_n as_o necessary_a to_o all_o nation_n and_o that_o not_o the_o moderate_a and_o equal_a neither_o but_o such_o as_o ascribe_v all_o to_o sovereignty_n nothing_o at_o all_o to_o popular_a liberty_n some_o lawyer_n also_o and_o statesman_n have_v deserve_v as_o ill_a of_o late_a partly_o by_o suggest_v that_o our_o english_a law_n be_v too_o in●urious_a to_o our_o king_n and_o pa●●ly_o by_o inform_v that_o this_o king_n be_v more_o limit_v by_o law_n then_o his_o progenitor_n be_v and_o that_o till_o he_o be_v as_o the_o king_n of_o france_n be_v rex_fw-la as●●orum_fw-la he_o be_v but_o a_o
