chap._n i._o of_o magistracy_n i._o relation_n be_v nothing_o else_o but_o that_o state_n of_o mutual_a respect_n and_o reference_n which_o one_o thing_n or_o person_n have_v to_o another_o ii_o such_o be_v the_o relation_n of_o father_n and_o son_n husband_n and_o wife_n master_n and_o servant_n magistrate_n and_o subject_a iii_o the_o relation_n of_o a_o father_n husband_n and_o master_n be_v real_o distinct_a and_o different_a that_o be_v one_o of_o they_o be_v not_o the_o other_o for_o he_o may_v be_v any_o one_o of_o these_o who_o be_v none_o of_o the_o rest_n iv._o this_o distinction_n proceed_v from_o the_o different_a reason_n upon_o which_o these_o relation_n be_v found_v v._o the_o reason_n or_o foundation_n from_o whence_o arise_v the_o relation_n of_o a_o father_n be_v from_o have_v beget_v his_o son_n who_o may_v as_o proper_o call_v every_o old_a man_n he_o meet_v his_o father_n as_o any_o other_o person_n whatsoever_o except_v he_o only_o who_o beget_v he_o vi_o the_o relation_n of_o a_o husband_n and_o wife_n be_v found_v in_o wedlock_n whereby_o they_o mutual_o consent_v to_o become_v one_o flesh._n vii_o the_o relation_n of_o a_o master_n be_v found_v in_o that_o right_n and_o title_n which_o he_o have_v to_o the_o possession_n or_o service_n of_o his_o slave_n or_o servant_n viii_o in_o these_o relation_n the_o name_n of_o father_n husband_n and_o master_n imply_v sovereignty_n and_o superiority_n which_o vary_v notwithstanding_o and_o be_v more_o or_o less_o absolute_a according_a to_o the_o foundation_n of_o these_o several_a relation_n ix_o the_o superiority_n of_o a_o father_n be_v found_v in_o that_o power_n priority_n and_o dignity_n of_o nature_n which_o a_o cause_n have_v over_o its_o effect_n x._o the_o distance_n be_v not_o so_o great_a in_o wedlock_n but_o the_o superiority_n of_o the_o husband_n over_o the_o wife_n be_v like_o that_o of_o the_o right_a hand_n over_o the_o left_a in_o the_o same_o body_n xi_o the_o superiority_n of_o a_o master_n be_v a_o absolute_a dominion_n over_o his_o slave_n a_o limit_a and_o conditionate_n command_v over_o his_o servant_n xii_o the_o title_n of_o pater_fw-la patriae_fw-la and_o sponsus_fw-la regni_fw-la father_n of_o the_o country_n and_o husband_n of_o the_o realm_n be_v metaphor_n and_o improper_a speech_n for_o no_o prince_n ever_o beget_v a_o whole_a country_n of_o subject_n nor_o can_v a_o kingdom_n more_o proper_o be_v say_v to_o be_v marry_v than_o the_o city_n of_o venice_n be_v to_o the_o adriatic_a gulf_n xiii_o and_o to_o show_v further_o that_o magistracy_n be_v not_o paternal_a authority_n nor_o monarchy_n found_v in_o fatherhood_n it_o be_v undeniable_o plain_a that_o a_o son_n may_v be_v the_o natural_a sovereign_a lord_n of_o his_o own_o father_n as_o henry_n the_o second_o have_v be_v of_o jeffrey_n plantagenet_n if_o he_o have_v be_v a_o englishman_n which_o they_o say_v henry_n the_o seven_o do_v not_o love_n to_o think_v of_o when_o his_o son_n grow_v up_o to_o year_n and_o this_o case_n alone_o be_v a_o eternal_a confutation_n of_o the_o patriarchate_o fourteen_o neither_o be_v magistracy_n a_o marital_a power_n for_o the_o husband_n may_v be_v the_o obedient_a subject_n of_o his_o own_o wife_n as_o philip_n be_v of_o queen_n mary_n xv._n nor_o be_v it_o that_o dominion_n which_o a_o master_n have_v over_o his_o slave_n for_o then_o a_o prince_n may_v lawful_o sell_v all_o his_o subject_n like_v so_o many_o head_n of_o cattle_n and_o make_v money_n of_o his_o whole_a stock_n when_o ever_o he_o please_v as_o a_o patron_n of_o algiers_n do_v xvi_o neither_o be_v the_o relation_n of_o prince_n and_o subject_a the_o same_o with_o that_o of_o a_o master_n and_o hire_a servant_n for_o he_o do_v not_o hire_v they_o but_z as_o st._n paul_n say_v they_o pay_v he_o tribute_n in_o consideration_n of_o his_o continual_a attendance_n and_o employment_n for_o the_o public_a good._n xvii_o that_o public_a office_n and_o employment_n be_v the_o foundation_n of_o the_o relation_n of_o king_n and_o subject_a as_o many_o other_o relation_n be_v likewise_o found_v upon_o other_o function_n and_o administration_n such_o as_o guardian_n and_o ward_n etc._n etc._n xviii_o the_o office_n of_o a_o king_n be_v set_v down_o at_o large_a in_o the_o xvii_o chap._n of_o the_o law_n of_o king_n edward_n the_o confessor_n to_o which_o the_o succeed_a king_n have_v be_v swear_v at_o their_o coronation_n and_o it_o be_v affirm_v in_o the_o preamble_n of_o the_o statute_n of_o utilitas_fw-la marlbridge_n
