discourse_v upon_o this_o distinct_o to_o the_o clear_n of_o the_o truth_n to_o the_o confirmation_n of_o those_o that_o own_o it_o and_o to_o the_o conviction_n of_o gainsayers_a i_o shall_v propose_v these_o four_o question_n 1._o whether_o monarchy_n be_v that_o particular_a form_n of_o government_n which_o god_n have_v appoint_v and_o do_v approve_v or_o whether_o there_o may_v not_o be_v another_o form_n of_o government_n that_o may_v be_v competitor_n with_o it_o for_o desirableness_n or_o rather_o prefer_v before_o it_o 2._o whether_o king_n have_v their_o power_n immediate_o from_o god_n or_o whether_o it_o be_v not_o confer_v upon_o they_o by_o the_o people_n 3._o whether_o suppose_v that_o the_o people_n do_v confer_v the_o power_n upon_o the_o prince_n in_o the_o first_o institution_n of_o monarchy_n it_o do_v now_o lie_v in_o the_o power_n of_o the_o people_n to_o revoke_v it_o 4._o whether_o the_o power_n of_o king_n be_v so_o immediate_o subject_a unto_o god_n that_o no_o earthly_a power_n can_v call_v the_o king_n to_o a_o account_n for_o the_o administration_n of_o the_o government_n first_o whether_o monarchy_n be_v that_o particular_a form_n of_o government_n which_o god_n appoint_v and_o do_v approve_v or_o whether_o there_o be_v not_o other_o form_n of_o government_n for_o example_n a_o democracy_n that_o may_v be_v commend_v equal_o with_o it_o or_o rather_o prefer_v before_o it_o i_o move_v this_o question_n because_o we_o be_v fall_v into_o a_o unhappy_a age_n when_o man_n do_v assume_v to_o themselves_o if_o not_o a_o liberty_n of_o prophesy_v or_o conjecture_v what_o form_n of_o government_n will_v come_v next_o upon_o the_o stage_n and_o act_v its_o part_n among_o we_o yet_o at_o least_o a_o liberty_n of_o argue_v pro_fw-la and_o con_v make_v it_o a_o moot_v case_n whether_o monarchy_n be_v the_o government_n that_o god_n approve_v and_o whether_o the_o nation_n may_v not_o be_v as_o happy_a or_o more_o under_o a_o republic_n than_o a_o monarchy_n in_o order_n to_o the_o state_v of_o this_o point_n i_o lay_v down_o these_o assertion_n 1._o it_o be_v certain_a that_o monarchy_n be_v the_o most_o ancient_a government_n of_o mankind_n he_o that_o epitomise_v trogus_n a_o ancient_a writer_n tell_v we_o that_o principio_fw-la rerum_fw-la gentium_fw-la &_o civitatum_fw-la imperium_fw-la penes_fw-la reges_fw-la erat_fw-la and_o if_o in_o the_o search_n of_o history_n sacred_a or_o profane_a there_o be_v no_o footstep_n of_o democracy_n in_o the_o elder_a time_n then_o certain_o a_o republic_n be_v a_o innovation_n and_o innovation_n in_o the_o state_n be_v as_o dangerous_a as_o in_o the_o church_n and_o if_o our_o saviour_n convict_v practice_n introduce_v in_o late_a age_n by_o call_v they_o back_o to_o the_o original_a of_o thing_n tell_v they_o that_o in_o the_o beginning_n it_o be_v not_o so_o matth._n 19.8_o then_o sure_o i_o think_v the_o antiquity_n of_o this_o form_n plead_v much_o for_o the_o preference_n of_o monarchy_n 2._o it_o be_v the_o government_n that_o god_n set_v up_o over_o his_o own_o people_n of_o old_a i_o do_v not_o say_v that_o we_o be_v absolute_o bind_v to_o the_o jewish_a model_n of_o government_n or_o law_n any_o further_a than_o the_o common_a equity_n or_o benefit_n thereof_o do_v oblige_v we_o but_o we_o may_v reasonable_o conclude_v that_o what_o form_n of_o government_n the_o infinite_a wisdom_n of_o god_n do_v know_v to_o be_v best_a that_o his_o infinite_a goodness_n will_v move_v he_o to_o establish_v among_o that_o people_n who_o he_o have_v choose_v out_o of_o all_o the_o nation_n of_o the_o earth_n to_o be_v unto_o he_o a_o peculiar_a people_n deut._n 14.2_o now_o monarchical_a government_n be_v that_o which_o he_o set_v

to_o think_v a_o argument_n conclude_v negative_o ab_fw-la hâc_fw-la authoritate_fw-la to_o be_v firm_a and_o cogent_a that_o press_v we_o so_o much_o with_o the_o prohibition_n of_o add_v to_o or_o
