the_o massacre_n in_o ireland_n do_v stir_v up_o the_o spirit_n of_o many_o in_o england_n out_o of_o a_o fear_n lest_o they_o shall_v suffer_v the_o same_o thing_n here_o and_o the_o advice_n of_o

4._o page_n 4._o for_o in_o other_o point_v i_o believe_v they_o need_v no_o reconciliation_n and_o his_o conscience_n be_v mighty_o startle_v if_o he_o have_v any_o at_o the_o dangerous_a tenet_n

their_o power_n for_o all_o that_o ever_o this_o author_n or_o any_o of_o his_o party_n have_v say_v about_o it_o be_v a_o mere_a chimaera_n viz._n that_o king_n as_o they_o derive_v their_o life_n

there_o shall_v have_v be_v but_o one_o universal_a king_n over_o the_o whole_a earth_n viz._n the_o elder_a son_n of_o noah_n who_o undoubted_o must_v have_v that_o power_n over_o all_o his_o young_a

king_n unless_o he_o or_o his_o posterity_n in_o the_o right_a line_n have_v make_v they_o their_o vicegerent_n but_o this_o be_v altogether_o inhistorical_a and_o therefore_o their_o position_n must_v be_v false_a for_o it_o be_v certain_a that_o the_o great_a monarchy_n that_o have_v be_v in_o the_o world_n be_v but_o small_a kingdom_n at_o the_o first_o and_o that_o for_o a_o

without_o any_o reason_n for_o it_o for_o upon_o the_o israelite_n desire_v a_o king_n shall_v not_o he_o rather_o have_v make_v choice_n of_o the_o chief_a of_o the_o first_o tribe_n than_o of_o one_o of_o the_o mean_a family_n of_o the_o young_a tribe_n viz._n saul_n who_o be_v not_o master_n of_o such_o virtue_n as_o to_o recommend_v he_o to_o the_o crown_n before_o all_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o child_n of_o israel_n the_o like_a may_v be_v say_v of_o david_n who_o be_v not_o of_o the_o elder_a family_n of_o judah_n and_o though_o he_o be_v a_o man_n after_o god_n own_o heart_n yet_o according_a to_o those_o gentleman_n opinion_n another_o shall_v not_o have_v be_v deprive_v of_o his_o right_n and_o since_o this_o opinion_n have_v not_o the_o least_o ground_n for_o it_o it_o must_v necessary_o follow_v that_o it_o be_v by_o election_n and_o consequent_o that_o the_o power_n of_o election_n reside_v in_o the_o people_n and_o as_o the_o people_n do_v elect_v they_o so_o
