discourse_v upon_o this_o distinct_o to_o the_o clear_n of_o the_o truth_n to_o the_o confirmation_n of_o those_o that_o own_o it_o and_o to_o the_o conviction_n of_o gainsayers_a i_o shall_v propose_v these_o four_o question_n 1._o whether_o monarchy_n be_v that_o particular_a form_n of_o government_n which_o god_n have_v appoint_v and_o do_v approve_v or_o whether_o there_o may_v not_o be_v another_o form_n of_o government_n that_o may_v be_v competitor_n with_o it_o for_o desirableness_n or_o rather_o prefer_v before_o it_o 2._o whether_o king_n have_v their_o power_n immediate_o from_o god_n or_o whether_o it_o be_v not_o confer_v upon_o they_o by_o the_o people_n 3._o whether_o suppose_v that_o the_o people_n do_v confer_v the_o power_n upon_o the_o prince_n in_o the_o first_o institution_n of_o monarchy_n it_o do_v now_o lie_v in_o the_o power_n of_o the_o people_n to_o revoke_v it_o 4._o whether_o the_o power_n of_o king_n be_v so_o immediate_o subject_a unto_o god_n that_o no_o earthly_a power_n can_v call_v the_o king_n to_o a_o account_n for_o the_o administration_n of_o the_o government_n first_o whether_o monarchy_n be_v that_o particular_a form_n of_o government_n which_o god_n appoint_v and_o do_v approve_v or_o whether_o there_o be_v not_o other_o form_n of_o government_n for_o example_n a_o democracy_n that_o may_v be_v commend_v equal_o with_o it_o or_o rather_o prefer_v before_o it_o i_o move_v this_o question_n because_o we_o be_v fall_v into_o a_o unhappy_a age_n when_o man_n do_v assume_v to_o themselves_o if_o not_o a_o liberty_n of_o prophesy_v or_o conjecture_v what_o form_n of_o government_n will_v come_v next_o upon_o the_o stage_n and_o act_v its_o part_n among_o we_o yet_o at_o least_o a_o liberty_n of_o argue_v pro_fw-la and_o con_v make_v it_o a_o moot_v case_n whether_o monarchy_n be_v the_o government_n that_o god_n approve_v and_o whether_o the_o nation_n may_v not_o be_v as_o happy_a or_o more_o under_o a_o republic_n than_o a_o monarchy_n in_o order_n to_o the_o state_v of_o this_o point_n i_o lay_v down_o these_o assertion_n 1._o it_o be_v certain_a that_o monarchy_n be_v the_o most_o ancient_a government_n of_o mankind_n he_o that_o epitomise_v trogus_n a_o ancient_a writer_n tell_v we_o that_o principio_fw-la rerum_fw-la gentium_fw-la &_o civitatum_fw-la imperium_fw-la penes_fw-la reges_fw-la erat_fw-la and_o if_o in_o the_o search_n of_o history_n sacred_a or_o profane_a there_o be_v no_o footstep_n of_o democracy_n in_o the_o elder_a time_n then_o certain_o a_o republic_n be_v a_o innovation_n and_o innovation_n in_o the_o state_n be_v as_o dangerous_a as_o in_o the_o church_n and_o if_o our_o saviour_n convict_v practice_n introduce_v in_o late_a age_n by_o call_v they_o back_o to_o the_o original_a of_o thing_n tell_v they_o that_o in_o the_o beginning_n it_o be_v not_o so_o matth._n 19.8_o then_o sure_o i_o think_v the_o antiquity_n of_o this_o form_n plead_v much_o for_o the_o preference_n of_o monarchy_n 2._o it_o be_v the_o government_n that_o god_n set_v up_o over_o his_o own_o people_n of_o old_a i_o do_v not_o say_v that_o we_o be_v absolute_o bind_v to_o the_o jewish_a model_n of_o government_n or_o law_n any_o further_a than_o the_o common_a equity_n or_o benefit_n thereof_o do_v oblige_v we_o but_o we_o may_v reasonable_o conclude_v that_o what_o form_n of_o government_n the_o infinite_a wisdom_n of_o god_n do_v know_v to_o be_v best_a that_o his_o infinite_a goodness_n will_v move_v he_o to_o establish_v among_o that_o people_n who_o he_o have_v choose_v out_o of_o all_o the_o nation_n of_o the_o earth_n to_o be_v unto_o he_o a_o peculiar_a people_n deut._n 14.2_o now_o monarchical_a government_n be_v that_o which_o he_o set_v

king_n after_o they_o follow_v those_o that_o bear_v the_o name_n and_o state_n of_o king_n but_o still_o their_o government_n be_v monarchical_a which_o be_v a_o great_a argument_n for_o its_o excellency_n 3._o we_o read_v of_o no_o other_o form_n of_o government_n in_o scripture_n but_o monarchy_n this_o argument_n be_v chief_o ad_fw-la homines_fw-la those_o that_o be_v ready_a so_o

to_o think_v a_o argument_n conclude_v negative_o ab_fw-la hâc_fw-la authoritate_fw-la to_o be_v firm_a and_o cogent_a that_o press_v we_o so_o much_o with_o the_o prohibition_n of_o add_v to_o or_o diminish_v from_o the_o word_n of_o god_n and_o urge_v the_o great_a curse_n to_o deter_v we_o these_o i_o hope_v will_v accept_v of_o what_o consequence_n do_v necessary_o follow_v from_o those_o premise_n and_o for_o as_o much_o as_o no_o other_o form_n of_o civil_a government_n but_o monarchical_a be_v find_v in_o scripture_n therefore_o to_o attempt_v to_o set_v up_o another_o must_v be_v either_o add_v to_o that_o word_n or_o detract_n from_o it_o or_o both_o and_o this_o argument_n must_v hold_v strong_o among_o all_o man_n of_o that_o persuasion_n 4._o monarchy_n do_v most_o near_o resemble_v the_o power_n and_o authority_n of_o god_n the_o great_a king_n of_o king_n original_n give_v pattern_n to_o all_o copy_n and_o copy_n must_v be_v correct_v by_o they_o now_o the_o power_n of_o god_n as_o the_o governor_n of_o the_o world_n be_v the_o original_a and_o pattern_n of_o all_o government_n and_o consequent_o the_o near_a any_o form_n come_v to_o the_o resemble_v of_o his_o

be_v and_o to_o who_o they_o must_v give_v a_o account_n and_o therefore_o monarchical_a government_n among_o man_n do_v come_v near_o to_o this_o pattern_n and_o consequent_o must_v be_v own_v as_o the_o best_a form_n 5._o monarchical_a government_n be_v every_o way_n qualify_v to_o answer_v the_o end_n of_o government_n most_o advantageous_o and_o therefore_o it_o be_v the_o best_a the_o end_n of_o government_n be_v make_v and_o execute_v law_n and_o protect_v the_o people_n now_o what_o way_n so_o expeditious_a for_o the_o make_n of_o law_n as_o when_o the_o royal_a assent_n breathe_v

they_o to_o condign_a punishment_n this_o i_o hope_v will_v not_o be_v forget_v in_o this_o generation_n and_o those_o that_o shall_v succeed_v i_o doubt_v not_o will_v be_v make_v sensible_a of_o it_o that_o all_o man_n may_v hear_v and_o fear_n and_o do_v no_o more_o so_o presumptuous_o if_o we_o at_o last_o proceed_v to_o reflect_v upon_o what_o have_v be_v speak_v we_o may_v make_v

thereof_o than_o it_o be_v a_o great_a sin_n to_o arraign_v the_o wisdom_n and_o the_o justice_n of_o the_o king_n proceed_n in_o the_o little_a convention_n of_o man_n of_o unsanctified_a heart_n unhallowed_a life_n and_o profane_a mouth_n a_o sin_n which_o have_v i_o the_o voice_n of_o stentor_n i_o can_v not_o declaim_v loud_o enough_o against_o in_o this_o age_n when_o many_o make_v it_o either_o a_o sign_n of_o grace_n or_o a_o token_n of_o wisdom_n or_o at_o least_o a_o argument_n of_o good_a affection_n to_o the_o public_a to_o slander_v the_o footstep_n of_o god_n anoint_v and_o as_o if_o they_o will_v investigate_v their_o pedigree_n from_o corah_n and_o his_o complice_n do_v proceed_v by_o rise_v up_o against_o moses_n and_o aaron_n reproach_v both_o prince_n and_o priest_n as_o if_o they_o take_v too_o much_o upon_o they_o if_o god_n almighty_n be_v the_o only_a ruler_n of_o prince_n and_o neither_o the_o people_n collective_o nor_o representative_o have_v power_n to_o

without_o christening_n give_v itself_o the_o unchristian_a name_n of_o a_o high_a court_n of_o justice_n have_v no_o power_n to_o censure_v and_o condemn_v a_o king_n though_o they_o bear_v before_o

without_o the_o least_o probability_n of_o any_o advantage_n to_o follow_v such_o discourse_n if_o he_o that_o step_v out_o of_o his_o rank_n without_o allowance_n of_o his_o officer_n to_o fight_v a_o enemy_n though_o he_o kill_v he_o be_v condemn_v for_o desert_v his_o place_n what_o censure_n can_v be_v great_a enough_o for_o those_o that_o desert_n their_o rank_n and_o station_n not_o to_o
