and_o indeed_o when_o we_o look_v upon_o prince_n as_o stand_v in_o the_o foremost_a rank_n of_o man_n and_o consider_v god_n as_o infinite_o exalt_v above_o all_o the_o rank_n of_o man_n and_o

only_o of_o civil_a right_n and_o power_n that_o i_o be_o now_o speak_v and_o therefore_o i_o do_v not_o think_v myself_o oblige_v to_o take_v notice_n of_o paternal_a authority_n though_o doubtless_o the_o first_o in_o the_o world_n since_o that_o be_v a_o right_a pure_o natural_a and_o so_o come_v not_o up_o to_o the_o present_a case_n beside_o i_o suppose_v the_o full_a natural_a authority_n of_o a_o father_n over_o his_o child_n do_v in_o the_o beginning_n last_v no_o long_o than_o the_o son_n continue_v a_o member_n of_o that_o family_n and_o so_o live_v one_o of_o his_o domestic_a subject_n but_o when_o he_o marry_v and_o begin_v a_o family_n of_o his_o own_o than_o he_o become_v as_o much_o a_o monarch_n in_o his_o own_o house_n as_o his_o father_n be_v in_o he_o but_o since_o this_o natural_a authority_n as_o to_o its_o chief_a regality_n have_v long_o since_o cease_v in_o all_o civilise_v nation_n and_o all_o the_o government_n now_o in_o the_o world_n be_v whole_o found_v upon_o civil_a and_o legal_a right_n and_o i_o take_v it_o for_o grant_v that_o what_o be_v mere_o a_o civil_a right_n in_o its_o original_a can_v never_o either_o by_o long_a prescription_n or_o continue_a succession_n become_v a_o natural_a right_n since_o the_o nature_n of_o thing_n never_o alter_v howsoever_o their_o circumstance_n may_v i_o wave_v therefore_o the_o first_o government_n that_o be_v found_v in_o paternal_a that_o be_v in_o natural_a right_n and_o 2._o i_o premise_v father_n that_o somewhat_o else_o beside_o the_o mere_a permission_n of_o god_n that_o only_o universal_a monarch_n without_o who_o leave_n none_o of_o the_o creature_n he_o have_v make_v can_v have_v any_o power_n over_o themselves_o or_o other_o and_o without_o who_o communicate_v that_o power_n to_o they_o they_o have_v no_o right_a to_o dispose_v themselves_o into_o any_o kind_n of_o civil_a government_n i_o say_v that_o beside_o all_o this_o somewhat_o else_o do_v contribute_v to_o the_o establishment_n of_o such_o humane_a mane_n authority_n as_o be_v now_o exercise_v in_o the_o world_n and_o that_o i_o humble_o suppose_v to_o be_v the_o natural_a necessity_n of_o fall_v man_n together_o with_o the_o rational_a use_n of_o those_o faculty_n wherewith_o god_n have_v endue_v they_o for_o god_n have_v plant_v such_o faculty_n in_o man_n as_o enable_v they_o to_o consult_v their_o common_a good_a and_o to_o provide_v for_o their_o own_o peace_n and_o interest_n and_o leave_v they_o to_o the_o free_a use_n of_o those_o faculty_n they_o soon_o find_v by_o a_o early_a experience_n how_o necessary_a it_o be_v to_o unite_v into_o civil_a society_n which_o can_v not_o be_v do_v without_o the_o enact_v of_o law_n and_o the_o constitution_n of_o governor_n so_o that_o man_n be_v natural_o oblige_v to_o enter_v those_o mutual_a compact_n and_o politic_a relation_n wherein_o some_o be_v to_o be_v govern_v and_o protect_v and_o other_o to_o be_v honour_v and_o obey_v neither_o yet_o be_v all_o this_o without_o god_n sovereign_a intervention_n for_o though_o i_o do_v not_o find_v that_o in_o the_o begin_n there_o be_v any_o particular_a revelation_n command_v man_n to_o model_n themselves_o into_o such_o method_n of_o civil_a government_n but_o they_o be_v all_o at_o first_o mere_o the_o dictate_v of_o natural_a reason_n ground_v upon_o the_o

be_v say_v to_o proceed_v from_o god_n its_o author_n and_o so_o to_o have_v a_o divine_a authority_n though_o not_o immediate_o found_v upon_o any_o positive_a divine_a command_n add_v to_o this_o that_o what_o be_v found_v in_o natural_a reason_n be_v one_o branch_n of_o the_o law_n of_o nature_n as_o much_o the_o law_n of_o god_n as_o any_o reveal_v law_n whatsoever_o but_o far_o god_n set_v
