perfect_o answer_v by_o the_o establish_a form_n of_o a_o commonwealth_n the_o end_n of_o all_o government_n be_v the_o common_a good_a of_o the_o people_n and_o if_o that_o great_a end_n be_v attain_v under_o any_o establish_a form_n he_o be_v fit_a only_a for_o a_o mad-house_n who_o will_v endeavour_v to_o pull_v down_o the_o establish_a form_n only_o to_o introduce_v a_o new_a one_o and_o a_o party_n of_o such_o mad_a man_n as_o these_o can_v never_o be_v sufficient_a to_o raise_v a_o jealousy_n in_o any_o government_n which_o be_v under_o a_o upright_a administration_n though_o it_o must_v also_o be_v acknowledge_v that_o as_o corrupt_v prelate_n make_v way_n for_o a_o presbyterian_a government_n into_o the_o church_n so_o a_o corrupt_a court-party_n may_v occasional_o introduce_v a_o republican_n form_n of_o government_n into_o the_o state_n beside_o there_o be_v no_o man_n who_o understand_v the_o political_a structure_n of_o the_o english_a monarchy_n but_o will_v find_v it_o so_o agreeable_a to_o the_o interest_n of_o a_o free_a people_n that_o nothing_o can_v be_v add_v to_o it_o to_o render_v it_o more_o perfect_a and_o it_o be_v particular_o manifest_a that_o all_o the_o advantage_n which_o may_v be_v suppose_v to_o arise_v from_o a_o commonwealth_n may_v be_v as_o free_o and_o full_o derive_v from_o the_o temper_n of_o the_o english_a monarchy_n as_o may_v thus_o appear_v if_o any_o man_n will_v know_v what_o be_v the_o constitution_n of_o the_o government_n under_o which_o he_o live_v there_o be_v but_o two_o thing_n to_o be_v do_v in_o order_n thereunto_o 1._o he_o may_v consider_v the_o nature_n of_o sovereign_a power_n in_o relation_n to_o all_o those_o particular_a integrate_a part_n out_o of_o which_o it_o be_v form_v and_o compose_v and_o 2._o it_o will_v be_v also_o needful_a to_o consider_v in_o what_o person_n these_o integral_a part_n of_o sovereign_a power_n be_v vest_v and_o lodge_v for_o every_o independent_a government_n comprehend_v a_o sovereign_a power_n within_o itself_o and_o be_v specify_v by_o the_o different_a lodgement_n of_o the_o part_n of_o that_o sovereignty_n now_o the_o integrate_a part_n which_o compound_v sovereign_a power_n be_v these_o 1._o legislative_a power_n or_o authority_n to_o make_v law_n 2._o executive_a power_n which_o consist_v in_o create_v officer_n to_o execute_v the_o law_n and_o discharge_v all_o the_o function_n of_o the_o government_n according_a to_o law_n 3._o a_o power_n of_o make_v war_n and_o peace_n 4._o a_o power_n of_o raise_v money_n for_o support_v of_o the_o government_n either_o in_o war_n or_o peace_n 5._o the_o last_o appeal_n in_o all_o case_n of_o law_n to_o which_o may_v be_v add_v 6._o the_o power_n over_o the_o mint_n and_o of_o these_o six_o part_n of_o sovereign_a power_n it_o be_v notorious_a that_o there_o be_v but_o one_o moiety_n lodge_v in_o the_o person_n of_o the_o king_n of_o england_n viz._n the_o executive_a power_n the_o power_n of_o war_n and_o peace_n and_o the_o coinage_n and_o of_o these_o three_o branch_n of_o royal_a power_n the_o executive_a which_o be_v the_o great_a be_v so_o limit_v that_o the_o king_n not_o employ_v any_o man_n in_o civil_a or_o military_a office_n under_o he_o but_o such_o a_o one_o who_o be_v qualify_v by_o law_n of_o the_o people_n make_v and_o though_o the_o power_n of_o war_n be_v vest_v in_o the_o king_n yet_o the_o commons_o have_v reserve_v to_o themselves_o the_o power_n of_o raise_v money_n without_o which_o no_o war_n can_v be_v carry_v on_o as_o for_o the_o coinage_n it_o be_v only_o a_o honorary_a trust_n rather_o than_o any_o real_a power_n but_o in_o the_o legislature_n which_o be_v the_o great_a point_n of_o sovereign_a power_n it_o be_v certain_a that_o the_o commons_o have_v their_o share_n insomuch_o that_o no_o law_n can_v be_v enact_v without_o their_o authority_n and_o they_o also_o have_v the_o power_n of_o open_v the_o purse_n of_o the_o nation_n it_o be_v certain_a that_o no_o war_n can_v be_v carry_v on_o without_o their_o consent_n the_o last_o appeal_n in_o suit_n of_o law_n be_v usual_o make_v to_o the_o house_n of_o lord_n and_o as_o long_o as_o this_o happy_a constitution_n shall_v be_v preserve_v from_o the_o power_n of_o violence_n and_o fraud_n i_o can_v tell_v what_o to_o wish_v for_o which_o may_v be_v of_o great_a advantage_n to_o the_o people_n of_o england_n but_o yet_o nothing_o be_v more_o notorious_o know_v than_o chat_n in_o the_o four_o last_o reign_v many_o church-art_n and_o court-practice_n be_v use_v to_o break_v in_o upon_o this_o happy_a constitution_n by_o raise_v the_o power_n of_o the_o king_n above_o what_o it_o ought_v to_o be_v and_o by_o reduce_v the_o commons_o to_o a_o narrow_a compass_n of_o power_n than_o what_o of_o right_o belong_v to_o they_o and_o it_o be_v also_o very_o well_o know_v that_o whosoever_o have_v show_v their_o resentment_n hereupon_o have_v be_v represent_v as_o commonwealthsman_n and_o antimonarchical_a but_o though_o these_o man_n be_v declare_v enemy_n to_o the_o turkish_a and_o french_a form_n of_o monarchy_n it_o be_v very_o visible_a that_o they_o be_v i_o true_a lover_n of_o english_a monarchy_n because_o their_o behaviour_n provoke_v only_o that_o sort_n of_o man_n who_o be_v promote_a such_o principle_n and_o practice_n as_o tend_v to_o change_v some_o part_n of_o that_o constitution_n upon_o the_o whole_a matter_n a_o commonwealth-form_n of_o government_n can_v never_o be_v receive_v among_o we_o in_o england_n but_o only_o as_o the_o last_o refuge_n when_o the_o church-party_n and_o court-party_n have_v through_o corruption_n subvert_v the_o admirable_a constitution_n of_o english_a monarchy_n but_o to_o return_v from_o this_o digression_n since_o priest-craft_n and_o court-craft_n have_v be_v of_o late_a so_o much_o discover_v since_o bigotry_n of_o late_a day_n be_v grow_v out_o of_o request_n since_o the_o unbigotted_a people_n be_v more_o dutiful_a to_o your_o majesty_n than_o the_o bigot_n be_v and_o since_o the_o common_a people_n of_o england_n be_v more_o firm_a and_o trusty_a than_o a_o court-party_n i_o can_v but_o think_v that_o a_o real_a popularity_n will_v be_v a_o better_a expedient_a than_o a_o church_n and_o court-party_n join_v together_o can_v be_v for_o as_o to_o the_o
