A85293	The anarchy of a limited or mixed monarchy. Or, A succinct examination of the fundamentals of monarchy, both in this and other kingdoms, as well about the right of power in kings, as of the originall or naturall liberty of the people. A question never yet disputed, though most necessary in these times.	Filmer, Robert, Sir, d. 1653.	1648 (1648)	Wing F910; Thomason E436_4; ESTC R202028	34,573	45

that_o make_v these_o heroical_a kingdom_n differ_v from_o other_o sort_n of_o kingdom_n be_v only_o the_o mean_n by_o which_o the_o first_o king_n obtain_v their_o kingdom_n and_o not_o the_o

barbaricke_n sort_n of_o king_n since_o he_o reckon_v all_o the_o world_n barbarian_n except_o the_o grecian_n his_o barbaricke_n king_n must_v extend_v to_o all_o other_o sort_n of_o king_n in_o the_o world_n beside_o those_o of_o greece_n and_o so_o may_v go_v under_o aristotle_n five_o sort_n of_o king_n which_o in_o general_n comprehend_v all_o other_o sort_n and_o be_v no_o special_a form_n of_o monarchy_n thus_o upon_o a_o true_a account_n it_o be_v evident_a that_o the_o five_o several_a sort_n of_o king_n mention_v by_o aristotle_n be_v at_o the_o most_o but_o different_a and_o accidental_a mean_n of_o the_o first_o obtain_v or_o hold_v of_o monarchy_n and_o not_o real_a or_o essential_a difference_n of_o the_o manner_n of_o government_n which_o be_v always_o absolute_a without_o either_o limitation_n or_o mixture_n i_o may_v be_v think_v perhaps_o to_o mistake_v or_o wrong_a aristotle_n in_o question_v his_o diversity_n of_o king_n but_o it_o seem_v aristotle_n himself_o be_v partly_o of_o the_o same_o mind_n for_o in_o the_o very_a next_o chapter_n when_o he_o have_v better_a consider_v of_o the_o point_n he_o confess_v that_o to_o speak_v the_o truth_n there_o be_v almost_o but_o two_o sort_n of_o monarchy_n worth_a the_o consider_v that_o be_v his_o first_o or_o laconic_a sort_n and_o his_o five_o or_o last_o sort_n where_o one_o alone_o have_v supreme_a power_n over_o all_o the_o rest_n thus_o he_o have_v bring_v his_o five_o sort_n to_o two_o now_o for_o the_o first_o of_o these_o two_o his_o lacedaemonian_a king_n he_o have_v confess_v before_o that_o he_o be_v no_o more_o than_o a_o generalissimo_n of_o a_o army_n and_o so_o upon_o the_o matter_n no_o king_n at_o all_o and_o then_o there_o remain_v only_o his_o last_o sort_n of_o king_n where_o one_o alone_o have_v the_o supreme_a power_n and_o this_o in_o substance_n be_v the_o final_a resolution_n of_o aristotle_n himself_o for_o in_o his_o sixteenth_o chapter_n where_o he_o deliver_v his_o last_o thought_n touch_v the_o kind_n of_o monarchy_n he_o first_o discharge_v his_o laconic_a king_n from_o be_v any_o sort_n of_o monarchy_n and_o then_o give_v we_o two_o exact_a rule_n about_o monarchy_n and_o both_o these_o be_v point_n blank_a against_o limit_a and_o mix_v monarchy_n therefore_o i_o shall_v propose_v they_o to_o be_v consider_v of_o as_o conclude_v all_o monarchy_n to_o be_v absolute_a and_o arbitrary_a 1._o the_o one_o rule_n be_v that_o he_o that_o be_v say_v to_o be_v a_o king_n according_a to_o law_n 16._o arist_n pol._n l._n 3._o c._n 16._o be_v no_o sort_n of_o government_n or_o kingdom_n at_o all_o 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 2._o the_o second_o rule_n be_v that_o a_o true_a king_n be_v he_o that_o rule_v all_o according_a to_o his_o own_o will_n 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d this_o latter_a free_v a_o monarch_n from_o the_o mixture_n of_o partner_n or_o sharer_n in_o government_n as_o the_o former_a rule_n do_v from_o limitation_n by_o law_n thus_o in_o brief_a i_o have_v trace_v aristotle_n in_o his_o crabbed_a and_o break_a passage_n touch_v diversity_n of_o king_n where_o first_o he_o find_v but_o four_o sort_n and_o then_o he_o stumble_v upon_o a_o five_o and_o in_o the_o next_o chapter_n content_v himself_o only_o with_o two_o sort_n of_o king_n but_o in_o the_o chapter_n follow_v conclude_v with_o one_o which_o be_v the_o true_a perfect_a monarch_n who_o rule_v all_o by_o his_o own_o will_n in_o all_o this_o we_o find_v nothing_o for_o a_o regulate_v or_o mix_v monarchy_n but_o against_o it_o moreover_o whereas_o the_o author_n of_o the_o treatise_n of_o monarchy_n affirm_v it_o as_o a_o prime_a principle_n that_o all_o monarchy_n except_o that_o of_o the_o jew_n depend_v upon_o humane_a designment_n when_o the_o consent_n of_o a_o society_n of_o man_n and_o a_o fundamental_a contract_n of_o a_o nation_n by_o original_n or_o radical_a constitution_n confer_v power_n he_o must_v know_v that_o arist_n search_v into_o the_o original_n of_o government_n show_v himself_o in_o this_o point_n a_o better_a divine_a than_o our_o author_n and_o as_o if_o he_o have_v study_v the_o book_n of_o genesis_n teach_v that_o monarchy_n fetch_v their_o pedigree_n from_o the_o right_n of_o father_n and_o not_o from_o the_o gift_n or_o contract_n of_o people_n his_o word_n may_v thus_o be_v english_v at_o the_o first_o city_n be_v govern_v by_o king_n and_o so_o even_o to_o this_o day_n be_v nation_n also_o for_o such_o as_o be_v under_o kingly_a government_n do_v come_v together_o for_o every_o house_n be_v govern_v by_o a_o king_n who_o be_v the_o elder_a and_o so_o also_o colony_n be_v govern_v for_o kindred_n sake_n and_o immediate_o before_o he_o tell_v we_o that_o the_o first_o society_n make_v of_o many_o house_n be_v a_o village_n which_o natural_o seem_v to_o be_v a_o colony_n of_o a_o house_n which_o some_o call_v fosterbrethren_n or_o child_n and_o child_n child_n so_o in_o conclusion_n we_o have_v gain_v aristotle_n judgement_n in_o three_o main_a and_o essential_a point_n 1._o a_o king_n according_a to_o law_n make_v no_o kind_n of_o government_n 2._o a_o king_n must_v rule_v according_a to_o his_o own_o will_n 3._o the_o original_n of_o king_n be_v from_o the_o right_n of_o fatherhood_n what_o aristotle_n judgement_n be_v two_o thousand_o year_n since_o be_v

in_o each_o man_n cause_n who_o will_v but_o question_v the_o legality_n of_o the_o monarch_n government_n certain_o the_o sentence_n can_v but_o be_v unjust_a where_o but_o one_o man_n tale_n be_v hear_v for_o all_o this_o the_o conclusion_n be_v every_o man_n must_v oppose_v or_o not_o oppose_v the_o monarch_n according_a to_o his_o own_o conscience_n thus_o at_o the_o last_o every_o man_n

perhaps_o i_o understand_v not_o though_o i_o think_v i_o do_v yet_o it_o serve_v my_o turn_n that_o he_o say_v that_o resistance_n ought_v to_o be_v make_v and_o every_o man_n must_v oppose_v or_o not_o oppose_v according_a as_o in_o conscience_n he_o can_v acquit_v or_o condemn_v the_o act_n of_o his_o governor_n for_o if_o it_o enable_v a_o man_n to_o resist_v and_o oppose_v his_o governor_n without_o question_n it_o be_v authorative_n and_o civil_a whereas_o he_o add_v that_o moral_a judgement_n be_v reside_v in_o reasonable_a creature_n and_o lawful_a for_o they_o to_o execute_v he_o seem_v to_o imply_v that_o authorative_n and_o civil_a judgement_n do_v not_o reside_v in_o reasonable_a creature_n nor_o can_v be_v lawful_o execute_v such_o a_o conclusion_n fit_v well_o with_o anarchy_n for_o he_o that_o take_v away_o all_o government_n and_o leave_v every_o man_n to_o his_o own_o conscience_n and_o so_o make_v he_o a_o independent_a in_o state_n may_v well_o teach_v that_o authority_n reside_v not_o in_o reasonable_a creature_n nor_o can_v be_v lawful_o execute_v i_o pass_v from_o his_o absolute_a and_o limit_a monarchy_n to_o his_o division_n or_o partition_n for_o he_o allow_v no_o division_n of_o monarchy_n into_o simple_a and_o mix_v viz._n of_o a_o monarch_n the_o nobility_n and_o community_n where_o first_o observe_v a_o doubt_n of_o our_o author_n whether_o a_o firm_a 25._o p._n 25._o union_n can_v be_v in_o a_o mixture_n of_o equality_n he_o rather_o think_v there_o must_v be_v a_o priority_n of_o order_n in_o one_o of_o the_o three_o or_o else_o there_o can_v be_v no_o unity_n he_o must_v know_v that_o priority_n of_o order_n do_v not_o hinder_v but_o that_o there_o may_v be_v a_o equality_n of_o mixture_n if_o the_o share_n be_v equal_a for_o he_o that_o have_v the_o first_o share_n may_v have_v no_o more_o than_o the_o other_o so_o that_o if_o he_o will_v have_v a_o inequality_n of_o mixture_n a_o primity_n of_o share_n will_v not_o serve_v the_o turn_n the_o first_o share_n must_v be_v great_a or_o better_a than_o the_o other_o or_o else_o they_o will_v be_v equal_a and_o then_o he_o can_v call_v it_o a_o mix_a monarchy_n where_o only_o a_o primity_n of_o share_n in_o the_o supreme_a power_n be_v in_o one_o but_o by_o his_o own_o confession_n he_o may_v better_o call_v it_o a_o mix_a aristocracy_n or_o mix_v democracy_n than_o a_o mix_a monarchy_n since_o he_o tell_v we_o the_o house_n of_o parliament_n sure_o have_v two_o part_n 56._o p._n 56._o of_o the_o great_a legislative_a authority_n and_o if_o the_o king_n have_v but_o a_o three_o part_n sure_a their_o share_n be_v equal_a the_o first_o step_v our_o author_n make_v be_v this_o the_o sovereign_a power_n must_v be_v original_o in_o all_o three_o next_o he_o find_v that_o if_o there_o be_v a_o equality_n of_o share_n in_o three_o estate_n there_o can_v be_v no_o ground_n to_o denominate_v a_o monarch_n and_o then_o his_o mix_a monarch_n may_v be_v think_v but_o a_o empty_a title_n therefore_o in_o the_o three_o place_n he_o resolve_v we_o that_o to_o salve_v all_o a_o power_n must_v be_v seek_v out_o wherewith_o the_o monarch_n 25._o p._n 25._o must_v be_v invest_v which_o be_v not_o so_o great_a as_o to_o destroy_v the_o mixture_n nor_o so_o titular_a as_o to_o destroy_v the_o monarchy_n and_o therefore_o he_o conceive_v it_o may_v be_v in_o these_o particular_n first_o a_o monarch_n in_o a_o mix_a monarchy_n may_v be_v say_v to_o be_v a_o monarch_n as_o he_o conceive_v if_o he_o be_v the_o head_n &_o fountain_n of_o the_o power_n which_o govern_v 26._o p._n 26._o &_o execute_v the_o establish_a law_n that_o be_v a_o man_n may_v be_v a_o monarch_n though_o he_o do_v but_o give_v power_n to_o other_o to_o govern_v and_o execute_v the_o establish_a law_n thus_o he_o bring_v his_o monarch_n one_o step_n or_o peg_v low_a still_o than_o he_o be_v before_o at_o first_o he_o make_v we_o believe_v his_o monarch_n shall_v have_v the_o supreme_a power_n which_o be_v the_o legislative_a then_o he_o fall_v from_o that_o and_o tell_v we_o a_o limit_a monarch_n must_v govern_v according_a to_o law_n only_o thus_o he_o be_v bring_v from_o the_o legislative_a to_o the_o gubernative_a or_o executive_a power_n only_o nor_o do_v he_o stay_v here_o but_o be_v take_v a_o hole_n low_o for_o now_o he_o must_v not_o govern_v but_o he_o must_v constitute_v officer_n to_o govern_v by_o law_n if_o choose_v officer_n to_o govern_v be_v govern_v than_o our_o author_n will_v allow_v his_o monarch_n to_o be_v a_o governor_n not_o else_o and_o therefore_o he_o that_o divide_v supreme_a power_n into_o legislative_a and_o gubernative_a do_v now_o divide_v it_o into_o legislative_a and_o power_n of_o constitute_v officer_n for_o govern_v by_o law_n and_o this_o he_o say_v be_v leave_v to_o the_o monarch_n indeed_o you_o have_v leave_v he_o a_o fair_a portion_n of_o power_n but_o be_v we_o sure_a he_o may_v enjoy_v this_o it_o seem_v our_o author_n be_v not_o confident_a in_o this_o neither_o and_o some_o other_o do_v deny_v it_o he_o our_o author_n speak_v of_o the_o government_n of_o this_o kingdom_n say_v the_o choice_n of_o the_o officer_n 38._o p._n 38._o be_v entrust_v to_o the_o judgement_n of_o the_o monarch_n for_o aught_o i_o know_v he_o be_v not_o resolute_a in_o

and_o indeed_o in_o all_o popular_a government_n the_o multitude_n perform_v this_o work_n and_o this_o work_n in_o a_o king_n put_v he_o below_o all_o his_o subject_n and_o make_v he_o the_o only_a

by_o that_o mean_n may_v sometime_o or_o other_o perhaps_o govern_v according_a to_o the_o law_n only_o the_o king_n can_v be_v no_o officer_n but_o to_o choose_v officer_n his_o subject_n may_v all_o
