which_o in_o prudence_n may_v best_o correspond_v with_o their_o condition_n still_o make_v people_n the_o first_o subject_n and_o receptacle_n of_o civil_a power_n in_o proof_n whereof_o i_o have_v stay_v the_o long_a it_o be_v the_o foundation_n of_o all_o this_o controversy_n and_o now_o pass_v on_o to_o the_o four_o proposition_n which_o be_v four_o proposition_n suae_fw-la see_v that_o the_o people_n be_v under_o god_n the_o first_o subject_n of_o civil_a power_n therefore_o the_o prince_n o●_z supreme_a magistrate_n have_v no_o more_o power_n than_o what_o be_v communicate_v to_o he_o

communicate_v from_o the_o community_n so_o the_o people_n or_o community_n can_v give_v away_o from_o themselves_o the_o power_n of_o self-preservation_n because_o the_o same_o commandment_n that_o faith_n thou_o shall_v not_o kill_v do_v also_o say_v thou_o shall_v preserve_v precept_n that_o forbid_v evil_a do_v command_v the_o contrary_a good_a now_o the_o moral_a natural_a law_n of_o god_n forbid_v a_o man_n to_o kill_v himself_o and_o therefore_o command_v he_o to_o preserve_v himself_o and_o as_o by_o a_o positive_a act_n man_n can_v make_v a_o law_n to_o kill_v themselves_o no_o more_o can_v they_o not_o to_o preserve_v themselves_o the_o one_o be_v as_o strong_o command_v by_o the_o moral_a law_n and_o as_o deep_o seat_v in_o nature_n as_o the_o other_o second_o because_o if_o the_o community_n shall_v give_v away_o the_o power_n of_o self-preservation_n the_o state_n shall_v not_o be_v in_o a_o better_o but_o in_o a_o worse_a condition_n than_o before_o the_o king_n and_o prince_n be_v take_v into_o office_n for_o the_o good_a of_o the_o people_n therefore_o call_v pater_fw-la patriae_fw-la and_o pastor_n gregis_fw-la not_o because_o he_o may_v arbitrary_o rule_v in_o the_o common_a wealth_n as_o a_o father_n do_v in_o his_o family_n but_o because_o of_o his_o tender_a care_n that_o he_o be_v to_o have_v over_o his_o people_n and_o that_o the_o people_n may_v live_v more_o secure_a and_o peaceable_o in_o all_o godliness_n and_o honesty_n but_o if_o the_o community_n shall_v give_v such_o a_o trust_n to_o any_o one_o that_o they_o may_v not_o at_o all_o

but_o after_o the_o trust_n they_o shall_v be_v slave_n unless_o it_o please_v the_o king_n through_o his_o own_o gracious_a condescension_n to_o let_v they_o be_v free_a still_o for_o what_o be_v a_o
