By way of reply unto severall answers made to a treatise formerly published for the resolving of conscience upon the case. Especially unto that which is entituled A fuller answer. By H.

noah_n after_o their_o family_n in_o their_o country_n and_o nation_n vers_fw-la 5_o 20_o 31._o and_o we_o find_v many_o of_o those_o first_o prince_n and_o ruler_n to_o leave_v their_o name_n to_o the_o people_n that_o come_v of_o they_o and_o to_o the_o country_n they_o be_v seat_v in_o as_o may_v be_v see_v gen._n 10._o hence_o it_o appear_v first_o that_o monarchy_n be_v the_o first_o government_n it_o be_v late_o ere_o any_o popular_a rule_n aristocratical_a or_o democraticall_a appear_v in_o the_o world_n second_o that_o the_o first_o king_n be_v not_o by_o choice_n of_o the_o people_n but_o that_o monarchy_n however_o we_o can_v say_v it_o be_v jure_fw-la divino_fw-la by_o divine_a precept_n command_v all_o nation_n to_o be_v so_o govern_v or_o jure_fw-la naturae_fw-la by_o nature_n law_n enforce_v it_o be_v plain_o ductu_fw-la naturae_fw-la by_o nature_n lead_v man_n from_o paternal_a to_o regal_a government_n and_o exemplo_fw-la divino_fw-la as_o i_o may_v say_v by_o divine_a example_n and_o insinuation_n the_o government_n that_o god_n set_v up_o over_o his_o people_n be_v monarchical_a still_o in_o moses_n the_o judge_n the_o king_n whereas_o aristocracy_n and_o democracy_n that_o i'may_v not_o call_v they_o defection_n and_o revolt_v from_o the_o natural_a way_n of_o government_n be_v mere_a invention_n of_o man_n in_o several_a monarchy_n indeed_o we_o see_v divers_a limitation_n &_o qualification_n of_o power_n and_o several_a office_n &_o way_n of_o execute_v that_o power_n these_o be_v mere_a invention_n of_o man_n and_o this_o i_o note_v for_o explication_n of_o what_o be_v in_o the_o other_o treatise_n say_v of_o monarchy_n in_o relation_n to_o ius_n divinum_fw-la which_o by_o this_o answerer_n be_v often_o interpret_v as_o if_o i_o grant_v monarchy_n and_o aristocracy_n and_o democracy_n to_o be_v equal_o of_o humane_a invention_n three_o it_o appear_v that_o the_o power_n of_o king_n be_v as_o of_o father_n and_o that_o the_o people_n have_v no_o power_n of_o coercion_n over_o they_o more_o than_o child_n over_o father_n four_o that_o albeit_o within_o few_o age_n after_o the_o flood_n people_n begin_v to_o choose_v themselves_o ruler_n as_o likely_a they_o do_v that_o depart_v from_o the_o build_n of_o babel_n in_o several_a company_n according_a to_o your_o several_a language_n yet_o be_v such_o popular_a election_n to_o be_v account_v a_o kind_n of_o defection_n from_o and_o a_o disturbance_n of_o that_o natural_a way_n of_o the_o descent_n of_o govern_v kingly_a power_n by_o a_o paternal_a right_n and_o this_o irregular_a way_n begin_v in_o the_o progeny_n of_o cham._n last_o that_o albeit_o when_o a_o people_n be_v free_a as_o upon_o the_o utter_a fail_v of_o the_o royal_a line_n they_o may_v choose_v a_o governor_n there_o be_v then_o no_o other_o way_n to_o set_v up_o one_o but_o by_o choice_n yet_o then_o do_v they_o no_o more_o give_v the_o power_n than_o if_o they_o receive_v a_o king_n by_o natural_a descent_n or_o by_o god_n designment_n and_o still_o the_o king_n so_o choose_v be_v a_o father_n as_o in_o the_o five_o commandment_n and_o the_o people_n as_o child_n in_o the_o same_o relation_n for_o obedience_n and_o coercion_n as_o at_o first_o in_o the_o generation_n of_o noah_n according_o king_n at_o first_o among_o the_o nation_n though_o choose_v rule_v as_o father_n arbitrary_o their_o discretion_n be_v law_n unto_o the_o people_n as_o be_v observe_v out_o of_o justin_n in_o the_o former_a treatise_n and_o as_o we_o may_v real_o see_v in_o the_o fiction_n of_o the_o golden_a age._n now_o for_o the_o begin_n of_o government_n in_o this_o island_n how_o shall_v conscience_n find_v any_o certainty_n that_o it_o be_v so_o set_v up_o &_o contrive_v as_o this_o answerer_n suppose_v if_o he_o will_v begin_v simple_o at_o the_o very_a first_o coalition_n of_o government_n as_o he_o phrase_n it_o he_o must_v suppose_v a_o multitude_n of_o people_n meet_v together_o to_o contrive_v a_o government_n and_o these_o either_o to_o spring_v on_o a_o sudden_a out_o of_o the_o earth_n as_o cadmus_n his_o race_n but_o then_o in_o all_o likelihood_n they_o will_v not_o so_o well_o agree_v or_o to_o live_v dispersedly_z in_o cave_n &_o wood_n and_o so_o to_o be_v bring_v together_o by_o some_o orpheus_n his_o pipe_n but_o then_o we_o can_v imagine_v such_o rude_a man_n to_o be_v so_o politic_a and_o cautious_a as_o to_o make_v such_o a_o contrivement_n for_o he_o tell_v we_o the_o reason_n which_o we_o see_v in_o this_o state_n be_v that_o same_o reason_n that_o first_o contrive_v the_o government_n when_o they_o make_v the_o first_o king_n or_o last_o he_o must_v suppose_v this_o land_n be_v people_v by_o a_o colony_n from_o france_n or_o germany_n and_o then_o as_o likely_a they_o have_v the_o constitution_n of_o the_o government_n from_o the_o king_n which_o send_v they_o or_o that_o the_o government_n which_o the_o first_o king_n use_v here_o be_v arbitrary_a as_o it_o be_v every_o where_o else_o at_o first_o but_o let_v we_o come_v down_o to_o time_n of_o more_o certainty_n and_o as_o the_o declaration_n of_o parliament_n 24._o h._n 8._o c._n 12._o direct_v we_o look_v in_o history_n and_o chronicle_n which_o tell_v we_o this_o realm_n of_o england_n have_v be_v accept_v for_o a_o empire_n govern_v by_o one_o supreme_a head_n unto_o who_o a_o body_n politic_a compact_v of_o all_o sort_n and_o degree_n of_o people_n of_o the_o spiritualty_n and_o temporalty_n be_v bind_v to_o bear_v next_o to_o

with_o the_o substance_n of_o this_o parliamentary_a declaration_n as_o we_o shall_v see_v anon_o nor_o can_v it_o have_v any_o foot_n in_o history_n and_o chronicle_n to_o which_o that_o declaration_n refer_v we_o for_o those_o chronicle_n and_o caesar_n in_o his_o commentary_n tell_v we_o there_o be_v in_o this_o land_n then_o divers_a prince_n independent_a in_o which_o of_o they_o shall_v we_o look_v for_o this_o constitution_n or_o shall_v we_o seek_v it_o among_o the_o british_a king_n who_o the_o saxon_n drive_v into_o wales_n if_o we_o can_v find_v it_o there_o it_o will_v not_o concern_v we_o for_o we_o be_v not_o now_o upon_o the_o british_a but_o english_a government_n which_o follow_v the_o saxon_n if_o the_o answerer_n will_v begin_v his_o constitution_n and_o first_o king_n at_o this_o period_n or_o revolurion_n of_o the_o monarchy_n for_o high_a he_o can_v &_o low_a at_o the_o conquest_n i_o trust_v he_o will_v not_o why_o do_v not_o he_o tell_v we_o so_o that_o he_o may_v have_v give_v conscience_n some_o direction_n to_o find_v out_o his_o first_o constitution_n and_o first_o king_n he_o know_v well_o enough_o there_o be_v little_a help_n for_o he_o here_o for_o we_o find_v this_o english_a saxishgovernment_n at_o the_o beginning_n branch_a itself_o into_o a_o heptarchy_n &_o rise_v in_o arm_n it_o be_v likely_a those_o captain_n take_v upon_o they_o as_o king_n by_o the_o consent_n and_o acclamation_n of_o the_o soldier_n as_o when_o in_o the_o state_n of_o rome_n the_o praetorian_a guard_n or_o some_o army_n abroad_o salute_v a_o emperor_n and_o thrust_v he_o upon_o the_o people_n but_o what_o then_o will_v become_v of_o his_o first_o constitution_n by_o the_o contrivement_n of_o the_o people_n when_o they_o make_v their_o first_o king_n shall_v any_o of_o these_o seven_o monarch_n come_v in_o by_o such_o a_o popular_a contrivement_n which_o can_v be_v imagine_v must_v our_o government_n need_v be_v the_o same_o or_o can_v we_o think_v that_o egbert_n who_o make_v himself_o sole_a monarch_n be_v bind_v up_o by_o such_o a_o constitution_n &_o reservation_n as_o he_o say_v be_v contrive_v at_o their_o make_n of_o the_o first_o king_n from_o that_o egbert_n to_o king_n charles_n our_o authentic_a history_n and_o chronicle_n to_o which_o the_o declaration_n of_o parliament_n above_o mention_v refer_v we_o do_v show_v a_o glorious_a succession_n of_o monarch_n not_o one_o make_v by_o election_n but_o harold_n who_o yet_o have_v not_o obtain_v the_o stile_n of_o rex_n haroldus_n and_o his_o title_n if_o any_o
