1. Is it but a remote probability that Kings were here first by election? I demand, what first invested such a Family with Regal power, more then another? 1It must be either God from heaven designing it, as David, or men appointing it, ⟨p. 8⟩or taken by force: there is no quartum. It was not the first, and to say the third is the right, is an extreme wrong to the King If mere force can give right, then whosoever is most forcible hath right; it must therefore be something else: what can that be but the consent of people to such a family? which is in effect all one with elect on. You may give it what name you will, it is not therefore a remote probability, but a near certainty, that even here Kings were at first either by choice, or by that which in effect is all one.
