why then is it wholly as we will? Is the title and office of Kings become now such a precarious Title? or do they hold their Crowns and Scepters altogether in Tenancy from the people, that it is in their choice and power, to King them or un ▪ King them, to continue them or displace them at pleasure? sayes not the Divine wisedome, per me Reges regnant, by me Kings reign? is there ever such a word as per populum, in all that Charter, which might entitle the people to some right and power in the choice of their supreme Magistrate? Again, sayes not the Apostle, The powers that are, are ordained of God? So that here you see is the joint consent and suffrage of both Testaments, to confirm and warrant the proposition, that Magistracy is not a popular choice, not a humane creature, † but a divine ordinance: |
