A86678	The divine right of government: [brace] 1. naturall, and 2. politique. More particularly of monarchie; the onely legitimate and natural spece of politique government. VVherein the phansyed state-principles supereminencing salutem populi above the Kings honour: and legitimating the erection of polarchies, the popular elections of kings and magistrates, and the authoritative and compulsive establishment of a national conformity in evangelical and Christian dutyes, rites, and ceremonies, are manifested to be groundlesse absurdities both in policy and divinity. / By Mich: Hudson.

the_o argument_n take_v from_o the_o law_n of_o nature_n to_o prove_v the_o pre-eminence_n of_o the_o people_n welfare_n above_o the_o king_n honour_n and_o thereby_o to_o legitimate_a the_o
