A47055	Christvs dei, or, A theologicall discourse wherein is proved that regall or monarchicall power is not of humane but of divine right and that God is the sole efficient cause thereof and not the people : also, that every monarch is above the whole common-wealth and is not onely major singislis, but major vniversis : written in answer to a late printed pamphlet intituled Observations upon some of His Majesties late answers and expresses.	Jones, John, d. 1660.; Morton, Thomas, 1564-1659 Supposed author.	1642 (1642)	Wing J961; ESTC R14104	9,563	20

satisfaction_n of_o his_o expectation_n in_o a_o brief_a and_o resolute_a answer_n i_o present_v unto_o he_o this_o decretory_n assertion_n this_o power_n be_v not_o a_o human_a but_o a_o divine_a
