to_o the_o sancied_a way_n of_o coordination_n the_o sovereignty_n be_v partly_o in_o the_o elector_n and_o partly_o in_o the_o three_o order_n then_o must_v both_o agree_v in_o the_o election_n or_o else_o it_o will_v come_v to_o nothing_o and_o this_o they_o will_v doubtless_o do_v in_o case_n they_o be_v friend_n and_o of_o one_o interest_n and_o opinion_n or_o else_o be_v afraid_a of_o each_o other_o power_n in_o which_o case_n as_o coordination_n will_v at_o best_a prove_v fruitless_a because_o they_o be_v as_o like_a to_o comply_v in_o a_o ill_a choice_n as_o a_o good_a so_o again_o if_o they_o be_v enemy_n that_o commonwealth_n must_v run_v these_o two_o most_o certain_a peril_n not_o only_o through_o their_o contention_n to_o be_v deprive_v of_o a_o good_a choice_n when_o it_o be_v make_v but_o be_v draw_v into_o the_o most_o dangerous_a condition_n of_o civil_a war_n as_o be_v whole_o engage_v in_o two_o contraty_a party_n for_o do_v greatness_n &_o sovereign_a power_n use_v to_o be_v slight_v and_o unregarded_a as_o that_o those_o that_o have_v it_o shall_v be_v more_o ready_a to_o resign_v then_o increase_v it_o do_v man_n rather_o choose_v subjection_n than_o principality_n to_o be_v in_o the_o condition_n of_o beggar_n for_o favour_n then_o be_v able_a to_o do_v they_o have_v we_o not_o see_v a_o parliament_n design_v to_o make_v themselves_o everlasting_a and_o may_v we_o not_o hereafter_o fear_v that_o a_o council_n may_v do_v so_o too_o and_o therefore_o it_o must_v needs_o be_v that_o upon_o the_o death_n of_o every_o elect_v prince_n the_o whole_a state_n and_o government_n and_o every_o man_n fortune_n therein_o must_v be_v leave_v in_o totter_a condition_n whilst_o during_o that_o inter-regnum_a every_o man_n may_v do_v what_o seem_v good_a in_o his_o own_o eye_n and_o so_o be_v as_o in_o a_o state_n of_o anarchy_n the_o which_o unhappy_a condition_n we_o find_v attribute_v to_o the_o israelite_n before_o they_o have_v the_o sceptre_n hereditary_o settle_v as_o be_v promise_v in_o the_o tribe_n of_o judah_n but_o be_v subject_n to_o the_o like_a chasme_n in_o government_n and_o if_o any_o will_v know_v how_o it_o can_v be_v imagine_v that_o every_o man_n can_v be_v permit_v to_o do_v what_o be_v right_a in_o his_o own_o eye_n or_o be_v in_o a_o state_n of_o anarchy_n where_o there_o be_v a_o stand_a law_n for_o direction_n what_o to_o do_v and_o stand_v judge_n and_o officer_n to_o see_v it_o do_v and_o where_o last_o there_o be_v a_o stand_v high_a court_n or_o council_n above_o all_o so_o that_o the_o israelite_n have_v at_o that_o time_n all_o these_o that_o be_v the_o law_n of_o moses_n the_o priest_n and_o levite_n and_o other_o ordinary_a judge_n and_o have_v also_o their_o sanhedrim_n or_o great_a council_n of_o elder_n and_o prime_a man_n of_o their_o tribe_n we_o must_v therefore_o conceive_v that_o by_o every_o man_n do_v what_o seem_v good_a in_o his_o own_o eye_n be_v not_o mean_v that_o every_o individual_a person_n do_v so_o to_o every_o man_n else_o but_o the_o head_n and_o leader_n in_o these_o several_a tribe_n whereof_o the_o sanhedrim_n consist_v be_v divide_v among_o themselves_o by_o faction_n and_o consequent_o draw_v all_o those_o of_o their_o tribe_n and_o party_n several_o after_o they_o it_o thereupon_o come_v to_o pass_v that_o every_o man_n be_v thus_o divide_v from_o every_o man_n as_o under_o these_o separate_a association_n they_o do_v every_o man_n unto_o every_o man_n what_o seem_v good_a in_o their_o own_o eye_n and_o this_o befall_v they_o because_o there_o be_v no_o king_n or_o judge_n in_o those_o day_n to_o judge_v between_o blood_n and_o blood_n and_o plea_n and_o plea_n that_o be_v such_o matter_n as_o happen_v to_o fall_v out_o between_o the_o elder_n and_o great_a one_o and_o so_o too_o hard_o in_o judgement_n to_o be_v determine_v in_o the_o ordinary_a court_n or_o reconcile_v in_o that_o high_a court_n either_o since_o these_o elder_n be_v both_o judge_n and_o party_n therein_o and_o therefore_o sir_n if_o there_o be_v so_o muce_a danger_n of_o division_n and_o civil_a war_n dependent_a on_o elective_a principality_n even_o because_o they_o be_v elective_a what_o may_v we_o more_o just_o fear_v to_o be_v the_o event_n of_o such_o thing_n in_o this_o nation_n where_o now_o more_o than_o ever_o every_o man_n stand_v from_o every_o man_n so_o much_o divide_v in_o civil_a interest_n but_o much_o more_o in_o matter_n of_o religion_n if_o there_o be_v one_o man_n micha_n find_v among_o they_o set_v up_o a_o teraphim_n and_o a_o priest_n to_o himself_o while_o there_o be_v no_o king_n there_o what_o think_v we_o of_o ourselves_o that_o have_v late_o have_v so_o many_o micha_n set_v up_o their_o several_a teraphim_n in_o every_o corner_n and_o that_o with_o such_o extravagant_a affectation_n of_o dissent_n from_o what_o be_v establish_v that_o they_o persuade_v themselves_o that_o to_o be_v heterodox_n be_v to_o be_v orthodox_n will_v it_o not_o in_o this_o case_n high_o concern_v we_o as_o we_o love_v our_o peace_n and_o quiet_a to_o keep_v constant_a to_o one_o person_n and_o family_n of_o most_o moderate_a principle_n and_o which_o be_v well_o know_v to_o carry_v a_o tender_a and_o universal_a regard_n to_o all_o and_o so_o most_o likely_a in_o good_a time_n to_o bring_v we_o to_o a_o happy_a union_n again_o then_o after_o his_o decease_n to_o cast_v the_o commonwealth_n into_o the_o danger_n of_o a_o new_a storm_n and_o shipwreck_n by_o awake_v the_o hope_n of_o all_o that_o be_v head_n and_o leader_n in_o those_o several_a sect_n and_o faction_n that_o be_v among_o we_o to_o be_v put_v in_o for_o themselves_o or_o some_o great_a favourer_n of_o their_o party_n for_o if_o we_o find_v such_o pack_v and_o side_v for_o election_n of_o parliament_n man_n or_o the_o like_a what_o stir_v may_v we_o look_v for_o at_o the_o choice_n of_o a_o protector_n out_o of_o which_o contest_v and_o dispute_v suppose_v we_o shall_v be_v so_o happy_a as_o to_o wind_v ourselves_o without_o open_a war_n and_o have_v one_o person_n at_o last_o choose_v and_o agree_v upon_o by_o the_o major_a part_n of_o the_o appoint_a elector_n and_o suppose_v yet_o far_o that_o the_o present_a army_n shall_v therein_o consent_v too_o or_o else_o rest_v quiet_a why_o yet_o since_o that_o person_n choose_v must_v himself_o be_v of_o some_o party_n or_o another_o and_o can_v not_o therefore_o come_v in_o by_o a_o joint_n or_o universal_a consent_n will_v it_o not_o hence_o come_v to_o pass_v as_o beforesaid_a that_o he_o be_v now_o in_o power_n shall_v be_v natural_o provoke_v to_o act_n of_o punishment_n and_o revenge_n towards_o such_o as_o have_v oppose_v or_o have_v not_o to_o his_o content_n and_o expectation_n take_v part_n with_o he_o whereupon_o all_o that_o be_v of_o different_a party_n from_o he_o must_v expect_v to_o live_v as_o in_o a_o state_n of_o persecution_n or_o endanger_v a_o new_a civil_a war_n by_o join_v in_o opposition_n so_o that_o if_o we_o be_v not_o actual_o break_v one_o against_o another_o yet_o advantage_n will_v be_v hereby_o still_o offer_v and_o increase_v and_o the_o whole_a nation_n continual_o espouse_v into_o several_a feud_n and_o faction_n to_o the_o overthrow_n of_o all_o charity_n and_o brotherly_a love_n and_o if_o to_o avoid_v this_o mischief_n some_o way_n of_o restraint_n shall_v be_v think_v upon_o by_o have_v a_o three_o estate_n like_o that_o in_o poland_n to_o bear_v a_o control_n over_o their_o king_n action_n this_o although_o it_o may_v at_o some_o time_n and_o for_o a_o while_n keep_v the_o sore_a from_o break_v out_o yet_o will_v it_o but_o increase_v the_o swell_a and_o
