if_o the_o monarchical_a part_n be_v in_o they_o it_o can_v be_v deny_v that_o the_o aristocratical_a be_v in_o the_o senate_n or_o areopagi_n and_o the_o democratical_a in_o the_o people_n but_o he_o

because_o the_o people_n have_v a_o part_n in_o the_o one_o and_o a_o image_n of_o monarchy_n be_v preserve_v in_o the_o other_o if_o our_o author_n will_v not_o allow_v the_o case_n to_o be_v

such_o as_o god_n have_v bless_v with_o better_a judgement_n and_o a_o due_a regard_n to_o justice_n and_o truth_n will_v say_v that_o all_o those_o who_o have_v attain_v to_o such_o greatness_n as_o
