Civil 3
Whose history traces are afforded by that venerable matchless
monument relick of antiquity few if any afford any indications
of any other form of government than the monarchical
[If the Ministers of Religion, or the Counsellors
of the Monarch that is those whom the Monarch was
in the habit of consulting possessed an influence which
would now and then rise so high strong as to overrule overlap <add> overbear</add>
that of the Monarch himself, the Monarchy was
the weaker for the time, but still it was Monarchy.
The form was always monarchical, nor is there one
instance to be met with of a particular assembly
possessing an authority independent of the Monarch
and derived from the body of the people ] Monarchs
which they remained Monarchs had God for their
support: their will was his will: disobedience to
him was disobedience to them.
[If the Bible was favourable to Filmer's notion
in one point of view, it was favourable to Locke's
in another. There are no governments in it
but the government of Kings: on the other hand
Kings would every now and then lose their Kingdoms.]
The Bible favoured Filmer in some respects
since there are no governments in it but the government of Kings: it favoured Locke in other respects,
since their Kings would sometimes lose their Kingdoms.
