they hold) that our lAncefiors did at firfi convey power, yet the

"reafon why we now living, doe fubmit to fuch power is,“ for that l

our Fore»-fathers every one for himfelf, his family, and pofterity,
had a power of refigningi up themfelves and us to a fupream
'power.~ i As the Scriptureteacheth us, that flrprmm Pom,» -mm‘ ..;.
‘riginnllj in thefntherhood withont any limitation, for likcvvife, reafon
doth evince it, that if God ordained that Supremacy fhould be, i
that then fupremacy mull: of neceflity be unlimited, for the power
that limits muff be above that power which is limited, if it be hir-
mited it cannot befuprcam: fo that if our Author will grant fu-

ypream power tobe the ordinance of',God, the. fuprearn power

will proveit {elf to beunlimitedrby the fame ordinance, becapfe a
iefupream limited power is a contradiction.

The monarchicall power of Adam the Father of all flefh, being A

iibya general binding ordinance fetled by God in him 8c his pofie-
rity. by right of fatherhood, the form of Monarchy muff be pre.

-ferr’d above;otherfo‘rms,. except thelikle ordinance for other

forms can be lhewed or. neither may men nocordingro tlaeirprelnriom

to theform they lie): ‘nnder to their nfiéetionr nnd jndgmentr in diverr

in-fjzectr prefer, or compare any other form with Monnrc/gy. The point
that moft perplexeth our Author and many others‘ is,that if Mo»
narchy be allowed to be the ordinance of G0d,nn ahfindir} would
follow, that we jhonld nnchnrimhfy condemn all the chrnnnitier which

have not that form, for niolatian of Goal; ordinance, and prononnoe
Jhofifxothen power: unlawful! : if thofei who live undera Monarchy
it can jnitifiethe form they live under to be Godsordinance, they

are not bouhd to forbear their own jufiification, becaufe others
I cannotdo the like for the form they live under 5-, let others look
to the defence of their owngovernment : if it cannot be proved
or fhewed that any other formi of government had ever any law-

fnll beginning, but was brought in, or erefted by rebellion, mufl i

therefore thelawfull and jolt obedience to Monarchy be denied

pp-hath not diltinguilhed: the aphabiitable world into Kingdomes, not
determined what part of at peaple {hall belongs to one Kingdioime,
andwhat to another, it follows that the Ioriginalpl freedome of
mankind being fuppofed, every man is at T liberty to be of what

K"ingdome’~he pleafe, and f o every petty company hatha right to"

make a Kingdome by it fell’, and not only every City; but every

berty toczhnfehimfelf to be his owne King if he pleafe, and he
were a mad man that being by nature free would thittfeany man
but rrhirnfelfto be his own Govcrnonr. Thus to avoid the having
but of one King of the whole world, we lhall run into at liberty of

having as many Kings’ as therebe men in the world, whichnpon

the matter, is to have no King at all, but to leave all men to their
naturall liberty, which is the mifchief the Pleaders for natural!

at pp titular parts of the world by confent to chnfe their Kings, never;-i
thelefle, their elefiions would bind none to fubjeétion but only
