shall_v be_v equal_o and_o altogether_o uncapable_a of_o have_v voice_n or_o share_v in_o the_o government_n and_o the_o other_o of_o be_v constant_o and_o equal_o capable_a of_o both_o as_o in_o

of_o germany_n and_o poland_n the_o two_o only_a place_n where_o there_o be_v a_o sovereign_a magistrate_n elect_v with_o any_o competent_a power_n we_o shall_v find_v that_o germany_n have_v scarce_o

which_o they_o do_v not_o neither_o till_o there_o be_v a_o failer_z in_o the_o family_n of_o charles_n the_o great_a which_o be_v above_o they_o all_o and_o as_o for_o poland_n their_o story_n tell_v

know_v of_o and_o sir_n if_o you_o will_v be_v satisfy_v with_o precedent_n as_o well_o as_o reason_n for_o this_o hereditary_a succession_n among_o ourselves_o you_o shall_v find_v it_o adjust_v even_o from_o the_o founder_n and_o original_n of_o our_o english_a nation_n for_o do_v not_o those_o army_n of_o the_o saxon_n that_o have_v holpen_v the_o people_n of_o this_o land_n against_o their_o enemy_n think_v it_o afterward_o reasonable_a that_o since_o themselves_o have_v share_v in_o most_o of_o the_o great_a place_n of_o trust_n and_o command_n and_o that_o also_o in_o the_o

and_o degree_n of_o power_n which_o be_v high_a of_o all_o and_o this_o they_o do_v although_o in_o their_o own_o nation_n that_o office_n do_v then_o pass_v by_o election_n and_o it_o will_v be_v also_o find_v that_o both_o dane_n and_o norman_n come_v with_o their_o army_n afterward_o do_v upon_o their_o success_n settle_v themselves_o and_o their_o chieftain_n in_o like_a manner_n if_o we_o

head_n of_o their_o own_o party_n and_o mark_v those_o several_a line_n of_o king_n that_o have_v therein_o sway_v and_o you_o will_v find_v that_o the_o several_a family_n of_o meroveus_n charles_n the_o great_a and_o of_o capet_n be_v such_o as_o by_o their_o own_o policy_n and_o prowess_n and_o by_o the_o help_n of_o a_o powerful_a party_n have_v be_v advance_v from_o the_o degree_n of_o subject_n to_o become_v absolute_a king_n upon_o the_o expulsion_n of_o those_o that_o be_v their_o former_a master_n and_o have_v the_o title_n nay_o look_v to_o italy_n spain_n france_n germany_n poland_n hungary_n and_o all_o the_o world_n over_o and_o you_o shall_v still_o find_v that_o in_o all_o those_o state-alteration_n that_o have_v be_v make_v by_o a_o prevail_a party_n either_o domestic_a or_o foreign_a the_o head_n and_o leader_n of_o that_o party_n have_v still_o have_v the_o diadem_n or_o chief_a place_n of_o authority_n settle_v on_o he_o and_o his_o family_n neither_o goth_n vandal_n lombard_n huns_n or_o any_o people_n whatever_o but_o act_v according_o and_o however_o they_o be_v nation_n most_o fond_a of_o the_o name_n of_o liberty_n as_o it_o be_v observe_v that_o all_o northern_a people_n be_v and_o may_v also_o be_v otherwise_o govern_v at_o home_n yet_o in_o this_o case_n they_o still_o hold_v it_o equitable_a that_o since_o themselves_o have_v every_o one_o by_o the_o conduct_n of_o their_o chieftain_n better_v his_o fortune_n in_o possession_n of_o the_o inheritance_n of_o person_n of_o inferior_a rank_n so_o proportional_o shall_v their_o general_n be_v settle_v in_o that_o which_o be_v high_a and_o as_o the_o example_n of_o republic_n or_o of_o elective_a monarchy_n have_v be_v few_o and_o also_o inconsiderable_a either_o for_o eminence_n or_o durance_n in_o comparison_n of_o monarchy_n and_o those_o hereditary_a which_o in_o most_o place_n have_v always_o so_o continue_v without_o alteration_n whereas_o no_o one_o place_n that_o have_v be_v republic_n or_o elective_a but_o what_o have_v be_v long_o and_o more_o eminent_a otherways_o so_o be_v it_o far_o observable_a that_o when_o greek_o roman_n german_n pole_n or_o any_o other_o have_v erect_v commonwealth_n or_o make_v their_o prince_n elective_a it_o have_v never_o be_v do_v after_o a_o civil_a contest_v and_o where_o one_o party_n have_v get_v the_o better_a of_o the_o other_o by_o way_n of_o conquest_n but_o be_v still_o do_v in_o peace_n and_o by_o a_o unanimous_a consent_n of_o the_o whole_a nation_n and_o when_o there_o be_v no_o alteration_n of_o

among_o themselves_o for_o so_o in_o greece_n they_o set_v up_o their_o commonwealth_n when_o the_o heraclidae_fw-la that_o race_n of_o king_n among_o they_o that_o descend_v from_o their_o famous_a

through_o the_o conduct_n and_o assistance_n of_o the_o prince_n of_o orange_n have_v thereupon_o confirm_v unto_o the_o same_o family_n the_o chief_a office_n of_o honour_n and_o command_v
