  1 [Title]|          of a discourse concerning government; what fate has otherwise
  2 [Title]|           wrong notions concerning government; that so at last all times
  3 1      |         occasion to think that all government in the world is the product
  4 1      |           find out another rise of government, another original of political
  5 13     |           hath certainly appointed government to restrain the partiality
  6 13     |           easily grant, that civil government is the proper remedy for
  7 13     |       monarchs are but men; and if government is to be the remedy of those
  8 22     |           but freedom of men under government is, to have a standing rule
  9 35     |          is plenty of people under government, who have money and commerce,
 10 42     |          them, is the great art of government: and that prince, who shall
 11 53     |            they would derive their government of a single person only,
 12 59     |   understanding be fit to take the government of his will. But after that,
 13 59     |    positive laws of an established government.~
 14 60     |    continued under the tuition and government of others, all the time
 15 60     |            never set free from the government of their parents; children,
 16 61     |        empire to those who had the government of his nonage? This government
 17 61     |     government of his nonage? This government over him only prepared him
 18 62     |           of, or submission to the government of their countries.~
 19 66     |            nor subjects him to her government.~
 20 67     |          in the father a temporary government, which terminates with the
 21 73     |          land, a submission to the government of the country, of which
 22 73     |       oblige his posterity to that government, of which he himself was
 23 73     |         estate which is under that government, reaches only those who
 24 74     |         fit for the discipline and government of that age; and tho' that
 25 74     |             and since without some government it would be hard for them
 26 75     |         the father's authority and government. They had been accustomed
 27 75     |         out of their pupilage: the government they had been under, during
 28 76     |          de facto, the exercise of government: I say, if this argument
 29 83     |          be obtained under politic government, as well as in the state
 30 89     |         politic, under one supreme government; or else when any one joins
 31 89     |          and incorporates with any government already made: for hereby
 32 90     |            men is counted the only government in the world, is indeed
 33 92     |        society, where this sort of government is grown to perfection,
 34 94     |    properties not secure under the government, as then it was, (whereas
 35 94     |           as then it was, (whereas government has no other end but the
 36 95     |           to make one community or government, they are thereby presently
 37 97     |         one body politic under one government, puts himself under an obligation,
 38 99     |            beginning to any lawful government in the world.~
 39 100    |        this way began and set up a government.~Secondly, It is impossible
 40 100    |           all men being born under government, they are to submit to that,
 41 101    |            and imbodied in armies. Government is every where antecedent
 42 102    |            of America there was no government at all. There are great
 43 102    |            governors, and forms of government.~
 44 103    |      another, and to have set up a government over themselves, by their
 45 103    |          an argument to prove that government were not, nor could not
 46 105    |      generally find them under the government and administration of one
 47 105    |          land, and few people, the government commonly began in the father:
 48 105    |          have one to rule them, as government is hardly to be avoided
 49 106    |      nations, we commonly find the government to be in one hand; yet it
 50 106    |          might set up what form of government they thought fit. But this
 51 106    |          and think, that by nature government was monarchical, and belonged
 52 106    |         that continued the form of government in a single person, was
 53 107    |            of things, the father's government of the childhood of those
 54 107    |    naturally run into that form of government, which from their infancy
 55 107    |         had instructed in forms of government, nor the ambition or insolence
 56 107    |          of balancing the power of government, by placing several parts
 57 107    |    themselves into such a frame of government, as was not only, as I said,
 58 107    |        themselves under a frame of government which might best serve to
 59 109    |           resolved to transfer the government to David, it is in these
 60 110    |          the thing, and the end of government required: which ever of
 61 111    |         the original and rights of government; and to find out ways to
 62 112    |            either submitted to the government of their father, or united
 63 112    |       different families to make a government, should generally put the
 64 112    |           be the foundation of all government. And thus much may suffice
 65 112    |         all peaceful beginnings of government have been laid in the consent
 66 113    |           all men being born under government, some or other, it is impossible
 67 113    |          be able to erect a lawful government.~If this argument be good;
 68 113    |           to unite and begin a new government under a regal, or any other
 69 113    |             of a distinct separate government. And so by this their own
 70 113    |          lawful prince, one lawful government in the world. And then they
 71 114    |           say they, are born under government, and therefore they cannot
 72 115    |            their families, and the government, be it what it will, that
 73 116    | established laws, and set forms of government, than if they were born
 74 116    |            by being born under any government, we are naturally subjects
 75 116    |        perpetual subjection to the government, which they themselves submitted
 76 117    |        himself presently under the government he finds there established,
 77 117    |     consent of freemen, born under government, which only makes them members
 78 118    |           subject of no country or government. He is under his father'
 79 118    |           freeman, at liberty what government he will put himself under,
 80 119    |         subject to the laws of any government. There is a common distinction
 81 119    |         society, a subject of that government. The difficulty is, what
 82 119    |           thereby submitted to any government, where he has made no expressions
 83 119    |            of the dominions of any government, cloth thereby give his
 84 119    |      obedience to the laws of that government, during such enjoyment,
 85 119    |            the territories of that government.~
 86 120    |        already belong to any other government: for it would be a direct
 87 120    |           the jurisdiction of that government, to which he himself, the
 88 120    |         possession, subject to the government and dominion of that common-wealth,
 89 120    |          annexed to, and under the government of that common-wealth, must
 90 120    |           is, of submitting to the government of the common-wealth, under
 91 121    |            Sec. 121. But since the government has a direct jurisdiction
 92 121    |        enjoyment, to submit to the government, begins and ends with the
 93 121    |        such a tacit consent to the government, will, by donation, sale,
 94 121    |       unless, by any calamity, the government he was under comes to be
 95 122    |       territories belonging to any government, to all parts whereof the
 96 122    |            laws, and submit to the government he found there. And thus
 97 122    |          their lives under another government, and enjoying the privileges
 98 [Title]|           of Political Society and Government.~
 99 124    |           putting themselves under government, is the preservation of
100 127    |            the established laws of government, and therein seek the preservation
101 132    |           and then the form of the government is a perfect democracy:
102 132    |      compounded and mixed forms of government, as they think good. And
103 132    |           constitute a new form of government: for the form of government
104 132    |        government: for the form of government depending upon the placing
105 133    |          democracy, or any form of government, but any independent community,
106 133    |       subordinate communities in a government; and city amongst us has
107 137    |            the ends of society and government, which men would not quit
108 137    |     actions: for all the power the government has, being only for the
109 138    |          property being the end of government, and that for which men
110 139    |                      Sec. 139. But government, into whatsoever hands it
111 140    |            and subverts the end of government: for what property have
112 142    |     common-wealth, in all forms of government.~First, They are to govern
113 143    |          to the end of society and government: therefore in well ordered
114 149    |       considered under any form of government, because this power of the
115 149    |          never take place till the government be dissolved.~
116 150    |           In all cases, whilst the government subsists, the legislative
117 156    |           the first framers of the government should, by any foresight,
118 157    |     constituted, having, in such a government as we have been speaking
119 157    |        power to act as long as the government stands; this inconvenience
120 158    |             and establisher of the government, and cannot miss the consent
121 158    |           and the establishing the government upon its true foundations,
122 158    |           makes an inroad upon the government, but the tendency of it
123 158    |          the original frame of the government, it cannot be doubted to
124 159    |      fundamental law of nature and government, viz. That as much as may
125 159    |          offenders: for the end of government being the preservation of
126 161    |          the trust and ends of the government, is undoubted prerogative,
127 162    |           them for their good, the government was almost all prerogative.
128 163    |        have a very wrong notion of government, who say, that the people
129 163    |          otherwise: for the end of government being the good of the community,
130 163    |         any body, since no body in government can have a right tending
131 163    |           so, the people under his government are not a society of rational
132 166    |         absolute monarchy the best government, as that which God himself
133 166    |           successors, managing the government with different thoughts,
134 169    |       great mistakes of late about government, having, as I suppose, arisen
135 170    |           to be a severe arbitrary government, but only for the help,
136 170    |          the paternal is a natural government, but not at all extending
137 175    |            one of the originals of government. But conquest is as far
138 175    |            far from setting up any government, as demolishing an house
139 185    |           him, and if their former government be dissolved, they are at
140 186    |   conditions, and submit to such a government as he pleases to afford
141 187    |         which it follows, that the government of a conqueror, imposed
142 191    |        free from subjection to any government, tho' he be born in a place
143 191    |          if he disclaim the lawful government of the country he was born
144 191    |            ancestors, if it were a government made by their consent.~
145 192    |         who are subdued, and had a government forced upon them against
146 192    |          consent not freely to the government, whose hard conditions were
147 192    |            submit to the yoke of a government by constraint, have always
148 192    |         them under such a frame of government as they willingly and of
149 192    |       opportunity to do it? For no government can have a right to obedience
150 192    |          of liberty to chuse their government and governors, or at least
151 192    |       without which, men under any government are not in the state of
152 193    |          in the continuance of the government; because the descendants
153 197    |         the forms and rules of the government: for if the usurper extend
154 198    |            part as the form of the government itself, and is that which
155 198    |          alike, to have no form of government at all, or to agree that
156 198    |    commonwealths, with the form of government established, have rules
157 200    |           his laws, in framing his government agreeable thereunto, according
158 200    |         the public, the end of his government; the other makes all give
159 201    |         monarchies; other forms of government are liable to it, as well
160 201    |           put in any hands for the government of the people, and the preservation
161 203    |          polities, and, instead of government and order, leave nothing
162 205    |           his people, dissolve the government, and leave them to that
163 205    |           he is secure, whilst the government stands, from all violence
164 205    |        public, and security of the government, in the person of the chief
165 206    |           no danger to governor or government,~
166 207    |          207. Thirdly, Supposing a government wherein the person of the
167 207    |       indanger him, or imbroil the government: for where the injured party
168 208    |      slight occasions, disturb the government: for if it reach no farther
169 208    |       oppressed men to disturb the government, where the body of the people
170 [Title]|         XIX.~Of the Dissolution of Government.~
171 211    |        speak of the dissolution of government, ought in the first place
172 211    |         and the dissolution of the government. That which makes the community,
173 211    |       dissolved, it is certain the government of that society cannot remain.
174 211    |          society is dissolved, the government cannot remain; that being
175 213    |        without knowing the form of government in which it happens. Let
176 213    |         the people. Such a form of government supposed, it is evident,~
177 215    |             and puts an end to the government,~
178 217    |            so a dissolution of the government: for the end why people
179 218    |             the dissolution of the government in these cases is to be
180 218    |      seditious, and enemies to the government: whereas no other part of
181 218    |           prince in such a form of government, having the power of dissolving
182 218    |            to any attempt upon the government, and do either promote,
183 219    |            way more whereby such a government may be dissolved, and that
184 219    |        effectually to dissolve the government: for laws not being made
185 219    |           that totally ceases, the government visibly ceases, and the
186 219    |      public, there certainly is no government left. Where the laws cannot
187 219    |          there were no laws; and a government without laws is, I suppose,
188 220    |           the like cases, when the government is dissolved, the people
189 222    |            is it but to cut up the government by the roots, and poison
190 222    |            a design to subvert the government, as is possible to be met
191 223    |           to lay the foundation of government in the unsteady opinion
192 223    |            to certain ruin; and no government will be able long to subsist,
193 225    |            them the ends for which government was at first erected; and
194 226    |      constitutions and laws of the government; those, whoever they be,
195 228    |           such a peace, and such a government, wherein Ulysses and his
196 229    |               Sec. 229. The end of government is the good of mankind;
197 230    |       desire the alteration of the government. It is true, such men may
198 230    | constitution and frame of any just government, is highly guilty of the
199 237    |          endeavour to overturn the government, that is, if he have a purpose
200 239    |         not preserving the form of government agreed on, and in not intending
201 239    |           not intending the end of government itself, which is the public
202 239    |       governors, but the change of government, that gives the offence.
203 239    |    suspected to be ignorant of our government, or enemies to it. But I
204 239    |           their turn, resolved all government into absolute tyranny, and
205 243    |          to the people whilst that government lasts; because having provided
