his_o people_n 201._o will_v no_o more_o prove_v that_o government_n belong_v to_o adam_n heir_n as_o to_o his_o fatherhood_n than_o god_n choose_v aaron_n of_o the_o tribe_n of_o levi_n to_o be_v priest_n will_v prove_v that_o the_o priesthood_n belong_v to_o adam_n heir_n or_o the_o prime_a father_n since_o god_n can_v choose_v aaron_n to_o be_v priest_n and_o moses_n ruler_n over_o israel_n though_o neither_o of_o those_o office_n be_v settle_v on_o adam_n heir_n or_o the_o first_o patriarch_n so_o likewise_o for_o what_o you_o say_v concern_v god_n raise_v up_o the_o judge_n to_o defend_v his_o people_n prove_v fatherly_a authority_n to_o be_v the_o original_a of_o government_n just_a after_o the_o same_o rate_n and_o can_v god_n raise_v up_o such_o man_n unless_o paternal_a power_n give_v a_o title_n to_o the_o government_n but_o to_o come_v to_o your_o darling_n instance_n the_o give_v of_o the_o israelite_n king_n whereby_o you_o suppose_v god_n re_fw-mi establish_v the_o ancient_a prime_n right_o of_o lineal_a succession_n 〈◊〉_d paternal_a government_n this_o i_o can_v by_o no_o mean_n understand_v for_o if_o by_o li●●●l_a succession_n you_o mean_v to_o adam_n i_o desire_v to_o know_v how_o you_o will_v make_v it_o out_o that_o either_o saul_n or_o david_n can_v be_v heir_n of_o adam_n power_n or_o how_o the_o power_n that_o those_o king_n be_v endue_v with_o by_o god_n be_v the_o same_o power_n which_o abraham_n isaac_n and_o jacob_n enjoy_v before_o for_o if_o you_o please_v to_o consider_v it_o your_o hypothesis_n consist_v of_o two_o proposition_n the_o first_o be_v that_o all_o paternal_a power_n be_v the_o same_o with_o regal_a power_n which_o if_o it_o be_v prove_v not_o to_o be_v true_a the_o other_o convertible_a proposition_n which_o be_v but_o the_o conversion_n of_o this_o will_v likewise_o be_v as_o false_a viz._n that_o all_o regal_a power_n be_v paternal_a nor_o be_v what_o you_o say_v last_o of_o all_o any_o true_a than_o the_o rest_n that_o whensoever_o god_n make_v choice_n of_o any_o person_n to_o be_v king_n he_o intend_v that_o the_o issue_n i_o suppose_v you_o mean_v his_o issue_n shall_v have_v the_o benefit_n thereof_o for_o either_o moses_n and_o joshua_n and_o the_o judge_n be_v no_o king_n though_o you_o have_v assert_v the_o former_a to_o be_v so_o or_o else_o they_o have_v not_o the_o benefit_n of_o this_o grant_n but_o certain_o saul_n be_v a_o king_n and_o yet_o his_o issue_n never_o succeed_v but_o you_o speak_v very_o wary_o to_o suppose_v this_o grant_n to_o be_v make_v to_o the_o issue_n in_o general_n without_o specify_v in_o particular_a who_o shall_v enjoy_v it_o because_o i_o suppose_v you_o be_v sensible_a that_o solomon_n who_o god_n express_o appoint_v to_o be_v david_n successor_n and_o jehoahaz_n 26.1_o who_o the_o people_n of_o the_o land_n make_v king_n in_o the_o room_n of_o josiah_n be_v neither_o of_o they_o elder_a son_n of_o the_o king_n their_o father_n to_o conclude_v i_o desire_v you_o will_v show_v i_o what_o relation_n or_o title_n all_o king_n or_o prince_n nowadays_o have_v or_o can_v claim_v as_o heir_n to_o adam_n or_o noah_n or_o how_o that_o power_n with_o which_o god_n endue_v those_o father_n of_o mankind_n be_v the_o same_o which_o you_o say_v all_o prince_n or_o monarch_n may_v now_o claim_v to_o be_v give_v they_o by_o god_n for_o i_o confess_v i_o can_v see_v no_o likeness_n or_o relation_n at_o all_o between_o they_o m._n it_o may_v indeed_o seem_v absurd_a to_o maintain_v that_o king_n now_o be_v the_o father_n of_o their_o people_n since_o experience_n show_v the_o contrary_a it_o be_v true_a 8._o all_o king_n be_v not_o the_o natural_a parent_n of_o their_o subject_n yet_o they_o all_o either_o be_v or_o be_v to_o be_v repute_v the_o next_o heir_n to_o those_o first_o progenitor_n who_o be_v at_o first_o the_o natural_a parent_n of_o the_o whole_a people_n and_o in_o their_o right_n succeed_v to_o the_o exercise_n of_o supreme_a jurisdiction_n and_o such_o heir_n be_v not_o only_a lord_n of_o their_o own_o child_n but_o also_o of_o their_o brethren_n and_o all_o other_o that_o be_v subject_a to_o their_o father_n and_o though_o i_o have_v all_o along_o suppose_v that_o paternal_a government_n be_v at_o first_o monarchical_a yet_o i_o must_v likewise_o grant_v that_o when_o the_o world_n be_v replenish_v with_o people_n that_o this_o paternal_a government_n by_o succession_n cease_v 67._o and_o a_o new_a kind_n of_o it_o start_v up_o either_o by_o election_n conquest_n or_o usurpation_n yet_o this_o be_v still_o paternal_a power_n which_o can_v never_o be_v lose_v or_o cease_v though_o it_o may_v be_v transfer_v or_o usurp_v or_o it_o may_v be_v ordain_v a_o new_a in_o a_o person_n who_o otherwise_o have_v no_o right_a to_o it_o before_o thus_o god_n who_o be_v the_o giver_n of_o all_o power_n may_v transfer_v it_o from_o the_o father_n to_o the_o son_n as_o he_o give_v saul_n a_o fatherly_a power_n over_o his_o father_n kish_n so_o that_o all_o power_n on_o earth_n be_v either_o derive_v 70._o or_o usurp_v from_o the_o fatherly_a power_n there_o be_v no_o original_a to_o be_v find_v of_o any_o power_n whatsoever_o for_o if_o there_o shall_v be_v grant_v two_o sort_n of_o power_n without_o any_o subordination_n of_o one_o to_o the_o other_o they_o will_v be_v in_o perpetual_a strife_n which_o shall_v be_v supreme_a for_o two_o supremes_n can_v agree_v if_o the_o fatherly_a power_n be_v supreme_a than_o the_o power_n of_o the_o people_n must_v be_v subordinate_a and_o depend_v on_o it_o if_o the_o power_n of_o the_o people_n be_v supreme_a than_o the_o fatherly_a power_n must_v submit_v to_o it_o and_o can_v be_v exercise_v without_o the_o licence_n of_o the_o people_n which_o must_v quite_o destroy_v the_o frame_n and_o course_n of_o nature_n f._n if_o this_o be_v all_o you_o have_v to_o say_v for_o the_o proof_n of_o so_o weighty_a a_o hypothesis_n i_o confess_v i_o wonder_v how_o you_o or_o any_o rational_a man_n can_v lay_v so_o great_a stress_n upon_o it_o for_o though_o i_o shall_v grant_v you_o that_o some_o father_n of_o family_n at_o first_o become_v by_o the_o tacit_n or_o express_v consent_n of_o their_o child_n and_o descendant_n to_o be_v king_n or_o prince_n over_o they_o do_v it_o therefore_o follow_v that_o all_o king_n govern_v by_o right_a of_o fatherhood_n at_o this_o day_n it_o be_v true_a you_o tell_v i_o that_o all_o king_n though_o they_o be_v not_o now_o the_o natural_a father_n of_o their_o people_n yet_o be_v still_o to_o be_v esteem_v as_o such_o by_o they_o as_o succeed_v either_o as_o heir_n or_o successor_n to_o those_o that_o be_v so_o i_o grant_v indeed_o if_o any_o king_n now_o adays_o can_v prove_v themselves_o right_a heir_n to_o adam_n or_o noah_n this_o be_v somewhat_o to_o the_o purpose_n but_o to_o talk_v of_o a_o paternal_a power_n proceed_v from_o election_n conquest_n or_o usurpation_n be_v perfect_a jargon_n to_o i_o for_o pray_v tell_v i_o can_v a_o man_n become_v endue_v with_o paternal_a power_n over_o i_o by_o my_o elect_v he_o to_o be_v my_o king_n or_o can_v a_o man_n by_o conquest_n or_o usurpation_n oblige_v i_o to_o yield_v he_o a_o filial_a duty_n and_o obedience_n for_o if_o this_o be_v so_o if_o a_o father_n of_o a_o separate_a family_n such_o as_o abraham_n be_v shall_v be_v conquer_v by_o the_o head_n of_o another_o separate_a family_n nay_o though_o he_o be_v a_o thief_n or_o a_o robber_n if_o once_o the_o true_a father_n be_v kill_v or_o destroy_v all_o the_o child_n and_o descendant_n of_o the_o family_n must_v pay_v the_o same_o duty_n and_o obedience_n to_o this_o unjust_a conqueror_n or_o robber_n as_o to_o their_o true_a father_n and_o the_o same_o may_v be_v say_v in_o usurpation_n in_o case_n after_o the_o death_n of_o such_o a_o father_n of_o a_o family_n a_o young_a brother_n or_o nephew_n shall_v get_v possession_n of_o the_o house_n and_o estate_n and_o force_v all_o his_o brethren_n and_o kinsman_n to_o submit_v to_o he_o they_o must_v then_o all_o own_o he_o to_o be_v endue_v by_o god_n with_o the_o same_o paternal_a power_n which_o their_o father_n or_o grandfather_n have_v and_o consequent_o must_v honour_n and_o obey_v he_o as_o their_o true_a father_n both_o which_o example_n be_v contrary_a to_o the_o common_a sense_n and_o reason_n of_o mankind_n may_v show_v you_o how_o absurd_a this_o hypothesis_n be_v whereas_o indeed_o fatherhood_n be_v a_o relation_n of_o blood_n and_o the_o duty_n and_o respect_n we_o owe_v to_o he_o that_o be_v our_o father_n proceed_v from_o that_o piety_n and_o gratitude_n we_o owe_v he_o both_o for_o our_o generation_n and_o education_n how_o can_v this_o relation_n or_o these_o obligation_n be_v ever_o transfer_v to_o or_o
