government_n above_o all_o other_o 1._o it_o be_v more_o noble_a and_o honourable_a than_o any_o other_o form_n of_o dominion_n and_o render_v a_o nation_n more_o considerable_a and_o renown_a in_o the_o eye_n of_o the_o world_n it_o be_v fresh_a in_o our_o memory_n that_o in_o the_o day_n of_o our_o commonwealth_n as_o they_o call_v it_o we_o be_v a_o reproach_n to_o all_o our_o neighbour_a nation_n a_o scorn_n and_o derision_n to_o they_o that_o be_v round_o about_o we_o and_o when_o our_o native_n walk_v in_o the_o street_n of_o foreign_a city_n from_o who_o before_o we_o have_v the_o privilege_n of_o a_o kind_a acceptance_n above_o any_o people_n in_o the_o world_n the_o finger_n of_o scorn_n be_v lift_v up_o against_o we_o our_o name_n be_v schellam_n and_o our_o entertainment_n a_o exprobration_n of_o such_o shameful_a practice_n as_o by_o the_o example_n of_o which_o the_o turk_n may_v plead_v innocency_n and_o the_o savage_n justify_v their_o barbarism_n 2._o monarchical_a government_n as_o it_o be_v more_o honourable_a so_o most_o safe_a because_o like_o a_o well_o fix_a centre_n of_o power_n it_o will_v terminate_v and_o combine_v all_o line_n of_o interest_n in_o one_o point_n of_o authority_n and_o it_o appear_v to_o be_v so_o certain_a a_o expedient_a of_o the_o safe_a peace_n that_o whensoever_o a_o defection_n or_o any_o contingency_n of_o state_n have_v lay_v design_n for_o a_o multiplication_n of_o supremes_n nothing_o have_v so_o infallible_o confound_v the_o nation_n where_o they_o have_v happen_v when_o god_n ancient_a people_n fall_v to_o a_o division_n between_o two_o king_n ten_o tribe_n revolt_n to_o jeroboam_n then_o begin_v that_o sad_a scene_n of_o trouble_n to_o that_o great_a people_n which_o enjoy_v halcyon_n day_n of_o peace_n when_o they_o be_v centre_v in_o one_o solomon_n and_o we_o read_v of_o the_o vast_a roman_a empire_n that_o when_o constantine_n have_v divide_v his_o kingdom_n among_o three_o though_o his_o own_o son_n the_o division_n be_v occasional_a of_o such_o ruinous_a inconvenience_n that_o it_o gradual_o lose_v its_o greatness_n till_o it_o wither_a and_o lessen_v to_o a_o name_n what_o be_v the_o state_n of_o our_o ancient_a heptarchy_n but_o a_o collision_n of_o inconsistent_a power_n which_o keep_v the_o nation_n in_o a_o continual_a state_n of_o war_n till_o a_o resolution_n into_o one_o monarchy_n end_v the_o controversy_n and_o last_o let_v we_o look_v a_o little_a back_n upon_o our_o late_a unparalleled_a confusion_n and_o you_o will_v find_v that_o the_o contriyer_n of_o they_o can_v never_o have_v insinuate_v themselves_o into_o so_o many_o advantage_n for_o a_o war_n have_v they_o not_o lay_v their_o ground_n upon_o a_o pretend_a coordination_n of_o power_n in_o the_o two_o house_n with_o the_o king_n or_o not_o find_v out_o two_o supremacy_n in_o his_o person_n one_o in_o his_o natural_a another_o in_o his_o politic_a capacity_n pretend_v to_o fight_v for_o the_o one_o where_o they_o actual_o pursue_v the_o destruction_n of_o the_o other_o now_o if_o any_o republican_n shall_v murmur_v object_n and_o say_v that_o some_o city_n and_o society_n of_o merchant_n have_v not_o only_o subsist_v but_o flourish_v under_o popular_a government_n i_o answer_v that_o such_o society_n have_v always_o be_v most_o safe_a when_o they_o have_v keep_v up_o the_o near_a resemblance_n to_o monarchy_n among_o themselves_o and_o that_o great_a state_n that_o pretend_v least_o to_o it_o may_v in_o time_n be_v either_o necessitate_v to_o choose_v a_o monarch_n of_o
