as_o when_o divine_v pretend_v to_o guide_v man_n in_o the_o way_n that_o lead_v unto_o heaven_n do_v persuade_v they_o to_o do_v such_o thing_n as_o will_v bring_v they_o unto_o hell_n or_o when_o lawyer_n who_o office_n be_v to_o be_v guardian_n of_o liberty_n and_o property_n do_v by_o false_a gloss_n upon_o the_o law_n justify_v or_o excuse_v those_o that_o invade_v and_o oppress_v and_o destroy_v both_o or_o last_o when_o any_o man_n sect_n or_o party_n of_o man_n pretend_v to_o serve_v god_n and_o the_o king_n do_v indeed_o serve_v themselves_o and_o their_o own_o wicked_a design_n against_o god_n and_o the_o king_n this_o be_v prevarication_n and_o for_o such_o prevarication_n as_o this_o do_v god_n punish_v a_o land_n say_v my_o text_n with_o many_o prince_n which_o must_v therefore_o be_v one_o of_o the_o great_a national_a judgement_n because_o it_o be_v the_o punishment_n of_o one_o of_o the_o great_a national_a sin_n for_o so_o be_v prevarication_n and_o thus_o much_o brief_o for_o the_o proof_n of_o my_o first_o conclusion_n à_fw-la priore_fw-la or_o from_o its_o cause_n i_o proceed_v to_o the_o proof_n of_o it_o à_fw-la posteriore_fw-la or_o from_o its_o effect_n for_o as_o great_a national_a sin_n be_v the_o cause_n so_o great_a national_a misery_n be_v the_o effect_n of_o many_o prince_n as_o will_v appear_v first_o from_o the_o consideration_n of_o policracy_n or_o of_o a_o government_n by_o plurality_n of_o prince_n in_o its_o own_o nature_n or_o in_o the_o general_a and_o second_o from_o the_o experience_n we_o ourselves_o have_v have_v of_o it_o in_o our_o own_o particular_a and_o first_o it_o be_v true_a in_o itself_o and_o in_o the_o general_n that_o where_o there_o be_v many_o prince_n in_o a_o land_n there_o the_o people_n must_v needs_o be_v expose_v to_o many_o and_o great_a misery_n but_o then_o by_o prince_n we_o be_v not_o to_o understand_v such_o prince_n as_o the_o hundred_o twenty_o seven_o be_v that_o be_v feast_v by_o ahashuerus_n under_o who_o they_o be_v the_o governor_n of_o so_o many_o several_a province_n nor_o such_o prince_n as_o be_v now_o in_o france_n poland_n naples_n and_o other_o kingdom_n who_o be_v but_o prince_n in_o name_n only_o and_o though_o some_o of_o they_o great_a than_o other_o yet_o all_o of_o they_o subject_n and_o subordinate_a to_o their_o own_o sovereign_a prince_n for_o of_o such_o prince_n there_o may_v and_o perhaps_o aught_o to_o be_v many_o that_o be_v more_o or_o few_o according_a to_o the_o grandeur_n of_o the_o monarch_n they_o live_v under_o and_o yet_o there_o may_v be_v too_o many_o even_o of_o this_o kind_n of_o prince_n also_o as_o when_o the_o sun_n of_o sovereign_a majesty_n from_o whence_o they_o borrow_v and_o derive_v their_o light_n be_v either_o eclipse_v by_o their_o magnitude_n as_o it_o be_v in_o england_n in_o the_o time_n of_o the_o baron_n war_n or_o cloud_v by_o their_o multitude_n or_o when_o the_o title_n and_o dignity_n itself_o be_v embase_v and_o profane_v by_o admit_v too_o many_o and_o too_o mean_a person_n to_o be_v partaker_n of_o it_o but_o of_o this_o the_o sovereign_a prince_n be_v the_o only_a and_o best_a judge_n neither_o be_v these_o the_o prince_n my_o text_n speak_v of_o for_o by_o many_o prince_n in_o my_o text_n be_v mean_v such_o as_o be_v or_o take_v upon_o they_o to_o be_v sovereign_n in_o the_o same_o land_n or_o state_n and_o that_o not_o successive_o for_o then_o how_o can_v they_o be_v oppose_v to_o a_o single_a person_n see_v in_o that_o sense_n they_o will_v all_o of_o they_o be_v but_o so_o many_o single_a person_n succeed_v one_o another_o and_o beside_o i_o can_v see_v why_o many_o prince_n in_o succession_n shall_v be_v say_v to_o be_v a_o judgement_n or_o a_o punishment_n inflict_v by_o god_n upon_o a_o nation_n for_o their_o sin_n and_o therefore_o by_o many_o prince_n in_o my_o text_n must_v needs_o be_v mean_v many_o pretend_v to_o sovereignty_n in_o the_o same_o country_n at_o the_o same_o time_n and_o this_o may_v be_v either_o when_o the_o country_n be_v canton_v into_o many_o several_a independent_a principality_n by_o set_v up_o many_o petty_a sovereignty_n instead_o of_o one_o or_o when_o the_o sovereign_a power_n over_o a_o whole_a nation_n be_v share_v and_o exercise_v by_o many_o whether_o they_o be_v more_o as_o in_o a_o republic_n or_o democracy_n or_o few_o as_o in_o a_o state_n or_o a_o aristocracy_n and_o first_o for_o the_o former_a way_n of_o polycracy_n or_o have_v many_o prince_n by_o canton_v the_o country_n and_o make_v several_a distinct_a body_n of_o the_o several_a member_n of_o the_o same_o body_n politic_a it_o be_v that_o which_o be_v attempt_v by_o korah_n dathan_n and_o abiram_n when_o they_o tell_v

be_v namely_o the_o sudden_a death_n of_o almost_o fifteen_o thousand_o man_n beside_o the_o swallow_a up_o quick_a of_o some_o and_o the_o burn_a alive_a of_o other_o of_o the_o conspirator_n

during_o the_o war_n betwixt_o the_o house_n of_o david_n and_o the_o house_n of_o saul_n which_o be_v a_o long_a and_o a_o bloody_a one_o say_v the_o text_n as_o such_o war_n use_v to_o be_v when_o a_o whole_a nation_n be_v engage_v to_o fight_v against_o itself_o and_o to_o cut_v one_o another_o throat_n to_o gratify_v the_o malice_n or_o ambition_n of_o a_o few_o but_o that_o which_o be_v

of_o they_o be_v reduce_v again_o under_o one_o by_o all_o which_o instance_n it_o be_v evident_a enough_o that_o there_o can_v be_v many_o sovereign_a prince_n over_o several_a part_n or_o province_n of_o the_o same_o country_n without_o much_o effusion_n of_o blood_n in_o the_o erect_n and_o great_a oppression_n of_o the_o people_n for_o the_o maintain_n of_o they_o and_o consequent_o that_o the_o have_v of_o many_o prince_n in_o this_o sense_n must_v needs_o be_v a_o great_a judgement_n upon_o the_o people_n and_o yet_o second_o it_o be_v as_o bad_a or_o worse_o for_o the_o people_n when_o the_o sovereignty_n over_o the_o whole_a which_o ought_v to_o be_v vest_v in_o one_o be_v usurp_v and_o share_v and_o exercise_v by_o many_o who_o whether_o they_o be_v more_o or_o few_o do_v
