A89341	The necessity of Christian subjection. Demonstrated, and proved by the doctrine of Christ, and the Apostles; the practice of primitive Christians, the rules of religion, cases of conscience, and consent of latter orthodox divines, that the power of the King is not of humane, but of divine right; and that God onely is the efficient cause thereof. Whereunto is added, an appendix of all the chief objections that malice it selfe could lay upon His Majestie, with a full answer to every particular objection. Also a tract intituled, Christus Dei, wherein is proved that our Soveraign Lord the King is not onely major singulis, but major universis.	Morton, Thomas, 1564-1659.; Jones, John, d. 1600.	1643 (1643)	Wing M2844; Thomason E62_18; Thomason E93_11; ESTC R571	28,546	41

corollary_n as_o god_n be_v the_o sole_a efficient_a cause_n of_o regal_a power_n so_o the_o instrumental_a cause_n which_o conveighe_v this_o power_n be_v the_o divine_a natural_a law_n oblige_v

to_o exercise_v his_o judgement_n through_o the_o election_n of_o the_o people_n to_o be_v sole_a administrator_n thereof_o be_v in_o power_n super_fw-la totam_fw-la rempublicam_fw-la superior_a

be_v evident_a out_o of_o the_o former_a for_o the_o power_n that_o be_v inherent_a in_o the_o whole_a commonwealth_n to_o exercise_v god_n judgement_n and_o to_o govern_v and_o preserve_v itself_o be_v a_o divine_a power_n not_o only_a super_fw-la singulos_fw-la but_o super_fw-la omnes_fw-la simul_fw-la and_o therefore_o major_a universis_fw-la but_o this_o power_n be_v now_o total_o and_o

thus_o either_o the_o whole_a power_n of_o the_o commonwealth_n be_v in_o one_o or_o no._n if_o not_o than_o he_o be_v no_o absolute_a king_n or_o monarch_n contrary_a to_o our_o supposition_n but_o if_o he_o be_v a_o monarch_n i_o ask_v again_o if_o there_o be_v a_o powet_fw-mi in_o the_o commonwealth_n which_o be_v not_o in_o he_o be_v it_o subordinate_a to_o his_o power_n or_o no_o if_o it_o be_v subordinate_a than_o his_o power_n be_v above_o that_o power_n and_o so_o super_fw-la totam_fw-la rempublicam_fw-la and_o major_a universis_fw-la if_o it_o be_v not_o then_o there_o be_v
