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 the_o senate_n and_o the_o emperor_n and_o they_o reign_v unquestioned_a without_o any_o competition_n from_o the_o senate_n so_o that_o it_o be_v not_o lawful_a to_o swear_v allegiance_n to_o julius_n cesar_n who_o have_v the_o full_a possession_n of_o the_o power_n but_o it_o be_v to_o tiberius_n and_o why_o so_o where_o be_v the_o right_a of_o government_n in_o the_o time_n of_o julius_n 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 tiberius_n 1._o have_v they_o give_v it_o up_o by_o any_o solemn_a act_n of_o they_o as_o many_o say_v they_o do_v by_o the_o lex_fw-la regius_fw-la which_o justinian_n confident_o affirm_v then_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 populus_fw-la comprehend_v both_o senate_n and_o community_n and_o then_o the_o emperor_n have_v their_o right_n of_o sovereignty_n from_o the_o people_n and_o not_o from_o god._n for_o here_o be_v 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 estate_n do_v look_v on_o themselves_o as_o particular_o concern_v as_o may_v be_v easy_o prove_v if_o it_o be_v needful_a in_o all_o the_o northern_a kingdom_n 2._o but_o suppose_v they_o do_v not_o formal_o give_v up_o their_o right_n but_o be_v partly_o wheedle_v and_o partly_o force_v out_o of_o it_o do_v this_o give_v a_o good_a title_n suppose_v augustus_n have_v by_o his_o act_n procure_v the_o consent_n of_o the_o people_n as_o to_o his_o own_o government_n what_o be_v this_o to_o tiberius_n do_v they_o give_v he_o a_o power_n to_o make_v who_o he_o please_v his_o successor_n 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 augustus_n to_o nominate_v tiberius_n and_o all_o the_o title_n he_o have_v at_o first_o be_v from_o the_o praetorian_a band_n and_o legion_n afterward_o the_o consul_n 1._o and_o senate_n and_o soldier_n and_o people_n do_v swear_v allegiance_n to_o he_o as_o the_o historian_n tell_v we_o now_o here_o i_o desire_v to_o know_v whether_o tiberius_n be_v any_o more_o than_o emperor_n de_fw-fr facto_fw-la when_o they_o do_v thus_o swear_v to_o he_o for_o all_o the_o right_o he_o have_v be_v from_o their_o voluntary_a submission_n to_o he_o at_o rome_n as_o to_o the_o roman_a province_n tacitus_n say_v they_o be_v content_a with_o the_o present_a change_n of_o government_n ib._n because_o they_o suffer_v by_o the_o faction_n and_o avarice_n of_o the_o great_a man_n which_o make_v they_o weary_a of_o the_o government_n by_o the_o senate_n and_o people_n but_o this_o only_o show_v they_o be_v willing_a to_o change_v their_o master_n hope_v they_o may_v mend_v their_o condition_n but_o signify_v little_a to_o the_o matter_n of_o right_n since_o after_o they_o be_v make_v province_n they_o own_v their_o subjection_n to_o the_o roman_a government_n by_o pay_v tribute_n and_o

be_v not_o to_o submit_v to_o but_o not_o to_o choose_v any_o other_o but_o what_o right_o have_v darius_n over_o the_o jew_n any_o more_o than_o succeed_v in_o the_o persian_a monarchy_n give_v a_o right_n to_o the_o chaldean_a conquest_n i_o grant_v the_o jew_n do_v act_n under_o the_o persian_a monarch_n 9_o as_o nehemiah_n be_v governor_n under_o artaxerxes_n and_o that_o they_o do_v swear_v
