again_o according_a to_o the_o usual_a partition_n be_v threefold_a it_o be_v either_o in_o one_o and_o then_o it_o be_v a_o monarchy_n or_o in_o many_o the_o best_a for_o birth_n and_o ability_n than_o it_o be_v a_o aristocracy_n or_o in_o the_o whole_a community_n and_o then_o it_o be_v a_o democracy_n that_o we_o be_v a_o monarchy_n successive_a needs_o no_o proof_n but_o that_o it_o be_v limit_v i_o prove_v by_o these_o three_o reason_n many_o more_o may_v be_v allege_v first_o in_o all_o age_n beyond_o record_n the_o law_n and_o custom_n of_o this_o realm_n have_v be_v the_o rule_n and_o quadrature_n of_o government_n liberty_n have_v be_v insist_v on_o and_o grant_v thereof_o obtain_v limitation_n of_o regal_a power_n be_v to_o be_v see_v in_o a_o plentiful_a manner_n in_o

he_o can_v disinherit_v his_o son_n and_o heir_n by_o any_o exorbitancy_n of_o will_n by_o any_o violent_a emanation_n of_o love_n contract_v by_o the_o merit_n or_o insinuation_n of_o a_o privado_n or_o favourite_n nor_o for_o any_o displeasure_n or_o indignation_n conceive_v against_o his_o son_n therefore_o the_o reason_n will_v hold_v à_fw-la fortiori_fw-la if_o he_o can_v his_o subject_n can_v for_o it_o be_v liquid_a where_o they_o limit_v he_o they_o also_o bound_v themselves_o otherwise_o the_o government_n be_v elective_a and_o not_o successive_a apply_v the_o present_a practice_n of_o the_o army_n and_o their_o hackney_n at_o westminster_n to_o this_o rule_n and_o let_v any_o sober_a man_n judge_v whether_o they_o be_v not_o the_o only_a subverter_n of_o the_o fundamental_a

from_o that_o slavery_n into_o which_o they_o be_v about_o to_o entangle_v you_o they_o dissolve_v the_o parliament_n for_o that_o grant_v which_o do_v capacitate_v they_o to_o sit_v durante_fw-la

any_o more_o than_o ballad_n true_a it_o be_v they_o have_v you_o under_o a_o power_n but_o such_o a_o one_o as_o if_o beast_n will_v challenge_v rational_a man_n shall_v be_v ashamed_a to_o subject_v

where_o the_o legislative_a power_n be_v in_o all_o three_o joint_o be_v in_o the_o very_a radication_n of_o it_o compound_v and_o mix_v of_o those_o three_o for_o that_o be_v the_o height_n of_o

of_o these_o without_o the_o positive_a concurrence_n of_o the_o three_o second_o it_o be_v mix_v in_o imposition_n of_o tax_n on_o your_o estate_n the_o king_n by_o his_o prerogative_n can_v
