the_o body_n can_v command_v nor_o have_v the_o head_n any_o action_n nor_o can_v it_o possible_o obey_v the_o head_n separate_v from_o the_o body_n destroy_v both_o mark_v that_o right_o of_o power_n which_o be_v empire_n have_v no_o other_o object_n or_o subject_n than_o the_o body_n and_o in_o its_o exercise_n be_v proper_o and_o sole_o found_v thereupon_o the_o body_n part_v from_o the_o head_n be_v no_o more_o a_o body_n but_o a_o carcase_n and_o the_o people_n without_o a_o supreme_a governor_n be_v no_o more_o a_o people_n but_o a_o confuse_a deform_v and_o unactive_a multitude_n mark_v that_o the_o people_n have_v no_o life_n nor_o power_n nor_o motion_n but_o what_o they_o receive_v from_o the_o head_n this_o be_v the_o constant_a doctrine_n of_o the_o most_o learned_a author_n who_o have_v ever_o treat_v of_o government_n mer._n sir_n i_o have_v often_o hear_v this_o comparison_n make_v but_o if_o you_o allow_v that_o a_o head_n may_v be_v compose_v of_o several_a member_n as_o you_o seem_v to_o suppose_v when_o you_o say_v a_o council_n or_o more_o we_o shall_v then_o easy_o agree_v for_o all_o we_o desire_v be_v that_o a_o head_n may_v be_v choose_v or_o make_v up_o out_o of_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o member_n trau._n necessity_n sometime_o and_o violence_n have_v compose_v such_o a_o monstrous_a head_n over_o which_o also_o they_o have_v be_v force_v to_o raise_v another_o phantasm_n such_o as_o the_o stateholders_n in_o holland_n the_o doge_fw-it of_o venice_n or_o duke_n of_o genova_n so_o i_o have_v observe_v in_o many_o place_n and_o particular_o in_o the_o prince_n gallery_n at_o monaco_n two_o famous_a head_n which_o be_v so_o artificial_o contrive_v that_o at_o first_o sight_n or_o at_o a_o distance_n they_o have_v represent_v a_o humane_a shape_n but_o upon_o a_o strict_a examination_n we_o have_v find_v they_o patch_v together_o of_o several_a sort_n of_o fish_n fowl_n beast_n or_o infect_v now_o beside_o that_o all_o unnatural_a and_o monstrous_a production_n have_v be_v observe_v by_o naturalist_n to_o be_v general_o of_o short_a continuance_n so_o they_o do_v not_o at_o all_o destroy_v my_o proposition_n which_o be_v that_o there_o must_v be_v a_o perfect_a distinction_n between_o the_o governor_n and_o the_o govern_v and_o that_o howsoever_o the_o head_n be_v compose_v whether_o of_o one_o monarch_n or_o thirty_o

reduce_v their_o head_n to_o their_o own_o term_n nay_o even_o to_o obey_v the_o body_n trau._n they_o may_v so_o sir_n and_o ever_o may_v since_o the_o beginning_n of_o body_n and_o ever_o may_v
