Minors cannot be ill since God almighty us'd to make such a choice I know that Eccles 10. 16. says Woe unto the Land when thy King is a child but the Criticks interpret this of a King that is childish Puer intellectu moribus or because Factions arise by the opposition to his Regents and this inconveniency did more necessarily attend the allowing a Regent King during Life for both the Subjects and the true Heir rais'd Factions in that Case whereas the Subjects only are factious in the other and yet even they are no more factious for that short time than they are always in Commonwealths 4. The reason why the Minor King was to have one to supply his Non-age ceasing with his Majority it was unreasonable that the Remedy should have lasted beyond the Disease and the worst effect that could have been occasion'd by the Infant King's Minority was that the Kingdom should have been during that time govern'd by joint advice of Parliament Councils and Officers of State which in Buchanan's opinion in other places of his History and Book De Jure Regni is so excellent a Model that he decries Monarchy as much inferior to it 5. It was most inconvenient to accustom any private Family to live in the Quality of a King 6. It could not but occasion many Murders and much Faction for the true Heir could not live peaceably under this Eclipse and Exclusion nor could the Uncle live without making a Party to secure his pleasant Usurpation 7. As these Divisions and Factions were the natural and necessary Effects that were to be expected from this irregular Succession so it is very observable that from King Fergus to King Kenneth the third we had Seventy nine Kings amongst whom almost the half were the most impious tyrannical or lazy Kings that ever we had according to Buchanan's Character of them so happy and wise a thing is this so much magnified Election of a Successor by the People and their Representatives to supply the defects of the lawful Heir whereas from K. Kenneth the third to King CHARLES the Second inclusive we have had Thirty one Kings Twenty six of whom have succeeded by a due lineal Right and have prov'd vertuous Princes greater by their Merit than their Birth as if God had design'd to let us see that though most of them succeeded whil'st they were very young yet that he can chuse a fitter Successor than Parliaments can do whereas the other five Kings who came to the Crown against that Law of Kenneth the third viz. Constantine the Bald Grimus Mackbeth Donal Bain and Duncan the second were all persons who deserved very ill to be preferred to the true Heir and who as they came to the Crown against Law so govern'd without it And it is very strange that the Fanaticks who think that every throw of the Dice is influenc'd by a special Providence will not allow that God does by a special Providence take care who shall be his Representative who shall be the Pastor of his Flock and nursing Father of his Church let us therefore trust his Care more than our own and hope to obtain more from him by Christian Submission Humility and Obedience than we can by Caballing Rebelling and Sacrilegious Murdering or Excluding the TRUE SUCCESSOR POSTSCRIPT IN regard there is Pag. 194 195. mention made of an Act of Parliament determining the Succession of Robert the Second's Children and referr'd to here upon further Consideration the Author has thought fit to defer the printing of it till another time the Substance of it being inserted in the said Pages Books Printed for and Sold by RICHARD CHISWELL FOLIO SPeed's Maps and Geography of Great Britain and Ireland and of Foreign Parts Dr. Cave's Lives of the Primitive Fathers in 2.
