A85293 The anarchy of a limited or mixed monarchy. Or, A succinct examination of the fundamentals of monarchy, both in this and other kingdoms, as well about the right of power in kings, as of the originall or naturall liberty of the people.

and_o kingdom_n yet_o i_o do_v not_o find_v that_o he_o ever_o so_o much_o as_o dream_v of_o either_o a_o limit_a or_o mix_v monarchy_n several_a other_o sort_n of_o monarchy_n he_o reckon_v up_o in_o the_o three_o book_n of_o his_o politic_n he_o spend_v three_o whole_a chapter_n together_o upon_o the_o several_a kind_n of_o monarchy_n first_o in_o his_o fourteen_o chapter_n he_o mention_n four_o kind_n of_o monarchy_n the_o laconic_a or_o lacedaemonian_a the_o barbarique_fw-la the_o aesymneticall_a the_o heroic_a the_o laconic_a or_o lacedaemonian_a king_n say_v he_o have_v only_o supreme_a power_n when_o he_o be_v out_o of_o the_o bound_n of_o the_o lacedaemonian_a territory_n than_o he_o have_v absolute_a power_n his_o kingdom_n be_v like_a to_o a_o perpetual_a lord_n general_n of_o a_o army_n the_o barbarique_a king_n say_v aristotle_n have_v a_o power_n very_o near_o to_o tyranny_n yet_o they_o be_v lawful_a and_o paternal_a because_o the_o barbarian_n be_v of_o a_o more_o servile_a nature_n than_o the_o grecian_n and_o the_o asiatiques_n than_o the_o european_n they_o do_v willing_o without_o repine_v live_v under_o a_o masterly_a government_n yet_o their_o government_n be_v stable_n and_o safe_a because_o they_o be_v paternal_a and_o lawful_a kingdom_n and_o their_o guard_n be_v royal_a and_o not_o tyrannical_a for_o king_n be_v guard_v by_o their_o own_o subject_n and_o tyrant_n be_v guard_v by_o stranger_n the_o aesymneticall_a king_n say_v arist_n in_o old_a time_n in_o greece_n be_v a_o elective_a tyrant_n and_o differ_v only_o from_o the_o barbarian_a king_n in_o that_o he_o be_v elective_a and_o not_o paternal_a these_o sort_n of_o king_n because_o they_o be_v tyrannical_a be_v masterly_a but_o because_o they_o be_v over_o such_o as_o voluntary_o elect_v they_o they_o be_v regal_a the_o heroic_a be_v those_o say_v aristotle_n which_o flourish_v in_o the_o heroical_a time_n to_o who_o the_o people_n do_v willing_o obey_v and_o they_o be_v paternal_a and_o lawful_a because_o these_o king_n do_v deserve_v well_o of_o the_o multitude_n either_o by_o teach_v they_o art_n or_o by_o war_a for_o they_o or_o by_o gather_v they_o together_o when_o they_o be_v disperse_v or_o by_o divide_v land_n among_o they_o these_o king_n have_v supreme_a power_n in_o war_n in_o sacrifice_n in_o judicature_n these_o four_o sort_n of_o monarchy_n have_v aristotle_n thus_o distinguish_v and_o after_o sum_n they_o up_o together_o and_o conclude_v his_o chapter_n as_o if_o he_o have_v forget_v himself_o and_o reckon_v up_o a_o five_o

hard_a to_o make_v they_o so_o many_o first_o for_o his_o lacedaemonian_a king_n himself_o confess_v that_o he_o be_v but_o a_o kind_n of_o military_a commander_n in_o war_n and_o so_o in_o effect_n no_o more_o a_o king_n than_o all_o general_n of_o army_n and_o yet_o this_o noking_n of_o his_o be_v not_o limit_v by_o any_o law_n nor_o mix_v with_o any_o companion_n of_o his_o government_n when_o

indeed_o arist_n say_v some_o of_o these_o tyrant_n be_v limit_v to_o certain_a time_n and_o action_n for_o they_o have_v not_o all_o their_o power_n for_o term_v of_o life_n nor_o can_v meddle_v
