of_o his_o power_n be_v no_o less_o remarkable_a for_o their_o contrary_a effect_n we_o fall_v into_o two_o extreme_n equal_o dangerous_a if_o either_o we_o give_v the_o people_n so_o much_o liberty_n that_o the_o magistrate_n can_v go_v about_o these_o great_a end_n f●r_v which_o he_o be_v design_v but_o like_o a_o weathercock_n be_v turn_v about_o at_o the_o pleasure_n of_o the_o mobile_n or_o
