Civil
Filmer's system in founding upon paternal
authority, trusted upon a which though
not applicable to the uses he endeavoured to put
it to, affords a compleat refutation computation to the doctrine
of universal and perpetual equality
The power exercised and uniformity exercised by
almost every father affords no reason for submitting to
the power of the King: much less for the submitting
to the commands of a King who governs so badly
that there as to make more dangerous to continue
in submission to his authority than to endeavour to
cast it off. But what it proves to demonstration show beyond
most perfectly possibility of mistake to every man where persons will
suffer him to turn his eyes that way, is the
physical impossibility of the system of absolute equality
and independence [by showing that subjection
and not independence is the natural state of
man.]
