whenas_o god_n himself_o have_v choose_v a_o democracy_n second_o he_o hold_v that_o although_o a_o democracy_n be_v the_o ordinance_n of_o god_n yet_o the_o people_n have_v no_o power_n to_o use_v the_o power_n which_o god_n have_v give_v they_o but_o only_a power_n to_o give_v away_o their_o power_n whereby_o it_o follow_v that_o there_o can_v be_v no_o democratical_a government_n because_o he_o say_v the_o people_n must_v give_v their_o power_n to_o one_o man_n or_o to_o some_o few_o which_o make_v either_o a_o regal_a or_o aristocratical_a estate_n which_o the_o multitude_n be_v tie_v

it_o be_v thus_o frame_v that_o god_n have_v give_v or_o ordain_v power_n be_v evident_a by_o scripture_n but_o god_n have_v give_v it_o to_o no_o particular_a person_n because_o by_o nature_n all_o
