of_o person_n yet_o the_o form_n itself_o of_o monarchy_n continue_v and_o as_o far_o as_o my_o observation_n reach_v it_o be_v the_o only_a government_n that_o be_v exercise_v in_o the_o first_o

more_o popular_a it_o be_v more_o easy_a more_o potent_a more_o honourable_a 1._o more_o easy_a this_o be_v evident_a in_o short_a for_o where_o there_o be_v more_o man_n there_o be_v more_o lust_n and_o passion_n to_o command_v more_o appetite_n and_o interest_n to_o be_v gratify_v and_o this_o must_v needs_o evince_v their_o government_n in_o the_o general_a to_o be_v more_o difficult_a 2._o as_o monarchy_n be_v more_o easy_a so_o it_o be_v more_o strong_a and_o potent_a because_o beside_o the_o advantage_n of_o secrecy_n which_o can_v never_o be_v so_o firm_o seal_v when_o design_n be_v communicate_v to_o a_o multitude_n a_o monarchy_n be_v less_o subject_a to_o division_n and_o less_o subject_a to_o division_n it_o must_v needs_o be_v because_o it_o be_v more_o reduce_v to_o unity_n in_o one_o single_a person_n of_o the_o prince_n hereupon_o we_o see_v all_o body_n military_a that_o they_o may_v be_v the_o more_o unite_a and_o potent_a be_v govern_v after_o this_o form_n under_o the_o command_n of_o one_o chief_a general_n 3._o as_o more_o potent_a so_o more_o honourable_a because_o the_o splend_v or_o and_o glory_n be_v all_o contract_a as_o it_o be_v into_o one_o centre_n and_o so_o carry_v the_o figure_n of_o god_n own_o supreme_a majesty_n for_o when_o the_o almighty_a be_v please_v to_o set_v forth_o his_o own_o state_n and_o creatness_n he_o do_v not_o assume_v the_o title_n of_o magistrate_n nor_o call_v himself_o by_o the_o name_n of_o senator_n or_o protector_n these_o be_v creature_n of_o too_o low_a a_o stature_n to_o be_v his_o representatius_fw-la
