A. but penned by Jo. Maxwell the excommunicate P. Prelat. : with a scripturall confutation of the ruinous grounds of W. Barclay, H. Grotius, H. Arnisœus, Ant. de Domi P.

government_n all_o humane_a society_n shall_v be_v dissolve_v and_o go_v to_o ruin_v then_o government_n must_v be_v natural_a and_o not_o depend_v upon_o a_o voluntary_a &_o arbitrary_a constitution_n of_o man_n in_o nature_n the_o liveles_a creature_n inferior_a give_v a_o tacit_n consent_n &_o silent_a obedience_n to_o their_o superior_a and_o the_o superior_a have_v a_o powerful_a influence_n on_o the_o inferior_a in_o the_o subordination_n of_o creature_n we_o ascend_v from_o one_o superior_a to_o another_o till_o at_o last_o we_o come_v to_o one_o supreme_a which_o by_o the_o

of_o man_n to_o establish_v a_o heraldry_n of_o sub_fw-la &_o supra_fw-la of_o one_o above_o another_o which_o neither_o nature_n nor_o the_o gospel_n do_v warrant_n to_o leave_v it_o thus_o arbitrary_a that_o upon_o this_o suppose_a principle_n mankind_n may_v be_v without_o government_n at_o all_o be_v vain_a which_o paradox_n can_v be_v maintain_v in_o nature_n god_n have_v establish_v a_o superiority_n inherent_a in_o superior_a creature_n which_o be_v no_o way_n derive_v from_o the_o inferior_a by_o communication_n in_o what_o proportion_n it_o will_v and_o resumeable_a upon_o such_o exigent_n as_o the_o inferior_a list_v therefore_o neither_o have_v god_n leave_v to_o the_o multitude_n the_o community_n the_o collective_a the_o representative_a or_o virtual_a body_n to_o

answ._n 1._o to_o answer_v spalleto_n no_o society_n have_v liberty_n to_o be_v without_o all_o government_n for_o god_n have_v give_v to_o every_o society_n say_v 2._o covarruvias_n a_o faculty_n

all_o government_n voluntary_a because_o it_o be_v voluntary_a to_o they_o to_o give_v away_o their_o power_n to_o one_o or_o more_o ruler_n be_v a_o mere_a non-consequence_n 1._o we_o teach_v that_o government_n be_v natural_a not_o voluntary_a but_o the_o way_n and_o manner_n of_o government_n be_v voluntary_a all_o society_n shall_v be_v quick_o ruin_v if_o there_o be_v no_o government_n but_o it_o follow_v not_o therefore_o god_n have_v make_v some_o king_n and_o that_o immediate_o without_o the_o interveen_a consent_n of_o the_o people_n and_o ergo_fw-la it_o be_v not_o arbitrary_a to_o the_o people_n to_o choose_v one_o supreme_a ruler_n and_o to_o erect_v a_o monarchy_n or_o to_o choose_v more_o ruler_n and_o to_o erect_v a_o aristocracy_n it_o follow_v no_o way_n it_o be_v

〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d by_o humane_a institution_n it_o be_v natural_a for_o man_n to_o eat_v ergo_fw-la election_n of_o this_o or_o that_o meat_n be_v not_o in_o their_o choice_n what_o reason_n be_v in_o

of_o all_o creature_n and_o their_o essential_a degree_n of_o superiority_n and_o inferiority_n but_o god_n create_v not_o saul_n by_o nature_n king_n over_o israel_n nor_o be_v david_n by_o the_o

but_o no_o power_n to_o waste_v and_o destroy_v they_o the_o inferior_a creature_n in_o nature_n give_v no_o power_n to_o the_o superior_a and_o therefore_o they_o can_v give_v in_o such_o a_o proportion_n power_n the_o denial_n of_o the_o positive_a degree_n be_v a_o denial_n of_o the_o comparative_a and_o superlative_a and_o so_o they_o can_v resume_v any_o power_n but_o the_o design_v of_o such_o a_o man_n or_o such_o man_n to_o be_v king_n or_o ruler_n be_v a_o rational_a voluntary_a action_n not_o a_o action_n of_o nature_n such_o as_o be_v god_n act_n of_o create_v a_o angel_n
