A85884 The divine right and original of the civill magistrate from God, (as it is drawn by the Apostle S. Paul in those words, Rom. 13.1. There is no power but of God: the powers that be are ordained of God) illustrated and vindicated in a treatise (chiefly) upon that text. Wherein the procedure of political dominion from God, by his ordination; ... is endevored truly and plainly to be laid open. / Written for the service of that eminent truth, order, justice, and peace which the said text, in its genuine sense, holdeth forth, and supporteth: and for the dissolving of sundry important doubts, and mistakes about it. By Edward Gee minister of the Gospel at Eccleston in the county palatine of Lancaster. Gee, Edward, 1613-1660. 1658 (1658) Wing G448; Thomason E1774_1; ESTC R202104 279,674 430

by_o that_o you_o must_v upon_o the_o death_n of_o every_o royal_a father_n that_o have_v a_o plurality_n of_o son_n divide_v the_o commonwealth_n among_o they_o according_a to_o that_o proportion_n whereby_o it_o will_v come_v to_o pass_v that_o a_o kingdom_n by_o many_o descent_n probable_o shall_v be_v divide_v into_o numberless_a minute_n principality_n and_o every_o of_o they_o still_o new_a
