good_a man_n shall_v be_v so_o that_o government_n seem_v to_o i_o a_o part_n of_o religion_n itself_o a_o thing_n sacred_a in_o its_o institution_n and_o end_n for_o if_o it_o do_v not_o direct_o

from_o heaven_n thus_o much_o of_o government_n in_o general_n as_o to_o its_o rise_n and_o end_n for_o particular_a frames_n and_o model_n it_o will_v become_v i_o to_o say_v little_a and_o comparative_o i_o will_v say_v nothing_o my_o reason_n be_v first_o that_o the_o age_n be_v too_o nice_a and_o difficult_a for_o it_o there_o be_v nothing_o the_o wit_n of_o man_n be_v more_o busy_a and_o divide_v upon_o it_o be_v true_a they_o seem_v to_o agree_v in_o the_o end_n to_o wit_n happiness_n but_o in_o the_o mean_v they_o differ_v as_o to_o divine_a so_o to_o this_o humane_a felicity_n and_o the_o cause_n be_v much_o the_o same_o not_o always_o want_v of_o light_n and_o knowledge_n but_o want_v of_o use_v they_o right_o man_n side_n with_o their_o passion_n against_o their_o reason_n and_o their_o sinister_a interest_n have_v so_o strong_a a_o bias_n upon_o their_o mind_n that_o they_o lean_a to_o they_o against_o the_o good_a of_o the_o thing_n they_o know_v second_o i_o do_v not_o find_v a_o model_n in_o the_o world_n that_o time_n place_n and_o some_o singular_a emergency_n have_v not_o necessary_o alter_v nor_o be_v it_o easy_a to_o frame_v a_o civil_a government_n that_o shall_v serve_v all_o place_n alike_o three_o i_o know_v what_o be_v say_v by_o the_o several_a admirer_n of_o monarchy_n aristocracy_n and_o democracy_n which_o be_v the_o rule_n of_o one_o a_o few_o and_o many_o and_o be_v the_o three_o common_a idea_n of_o government_n when_o man_n discourse_v of_o that_o subject_a but_o i_o choose_v to_o solve_v the_o controversy_n with_o this_o small_a distinction_n and_o it_o belong_v to_o all_o three_o any_o government_n be_v free_a to_o the_o people_n under_o it_o whatever_o be_v the_o frame_n where_o the_o law_n rule_n and_o the_o people_n be_v a_o party_n to_o those_o law_n and_o more_o than_o this_o be_v tyranny_n oligarchy_n or_o confusion_n but_o last_o when_o all_o be_v say_v there_o be_v hardly_o one_o frame_n of_o government_n in_o the_o world_n so_o ill_o design_v by_o its_o first_o founder_n that_o in_o good_a hand_n will_v not_o do_v well_o enough_o and_o story_n tell_v we_o the_o best_a in_o ill_a one_o

be_v make_v and_o move_v by_o man_n so_o by_o they_o they_o be_v ruin_v too_o wherefore_o government_n rather_o depend_v upon_o man_n than_o man_n upon_o government_n let_v man_n be_v good_a and_o the_o government_n can_v be_v bad_a if_o it_o be_v ill_a they_o will_v cure_v it_o but_o if_o man_n be_v bad_a let_v the_o government_n be_v never_o so_o good_a they_o will_v endeavour_v to_o warp_v

though_o good_a law_n do_v well_o good_a man_n do_v better_a for_o good_a law_n may_v want_v good_a man_n and_o be_v abolish_v or_o evade_v by_o ill_a man_n but_o good_a man_n will_v never_o want_v
