A86678	The divine right of government: [brace] 1. naturall, and 2. politique. More particularly of monarchie; the onely legitimate and natural spece of politique government. VVherein the phansyed state-principles supereminencing salutem populi above the Kings honour: and legitimating the erection of polarchies, the popular elections of kings and magistrates, and the authoritative and compulsive establishment of a national conformity in evangelical and Christian dutyes, rites, and ceremonies, are manifested to be groundlesse absurdities both in policy and divinity. / By Mich: Hudson.

second_o the_o manifestation_n of_o his_o power_n and_o greatness_n in_o the_o accumulation_n of_o curse_n and_o judgement_n upon_o the_o wicked_a and_o therefore_o wheresoever_o we_o find_v any_o
