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

king_n he_o give_v the_o like_a note_n upon_o he_o that_o he_o do_v upon_o the_o aesymnet_n that_o he_o be_v in_o old_a time_n 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d in_o the_o heroic_a time_n the_o thing_n 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 manner_n of_o government_n for_o in_o that_o they_o be_v as_o absolute_a as_o other_o king_n be_v without_o either_o limitation_n by_o law_n or_o mixture_n of_o companion_n last_o as_o for_o arist_n 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
