soveraign : dominion dominion: soveraign Complete text of 61127180:And therefore as it is absurd, to think that a soveraign Assembly, inviting the People of their dominion , to send up their Deputies, with power to make known their Advise, or Desires, should therefore hold such Deputies, rather than themselves, for the absolute Representative of the people: so it is absurd also, to think the same in a Monarchy Complete text of 61127259:OF dominion PATERNALL AND DESPOTICALL A Common-wealth by Acquisition, is that, where the soveraign Power is acquired by Force; And it is acquired by force, when men singly, or many together by plurality of voyces, for fear of death, or bonds, do authorise all the actions of that Man, or Assembly, that hath their lives and liberty in his Power Complete text of 61127260:Wherein Different From A Common-wealth By Institution And this kind of dominion , or Soveraignty, differeth from Soveraignty by Institution, onely in this, That men who choose their soveraign , do it for fear of one another, and not of him whom they Institute: But in this case, they subject themselves, to him they are afraid of Complete text of 61127287:For the soveraign of each Country hath dominion over all that reside therein Complete text of 61127302:In summe the Rights and Consequences of both Paternall and Despoticall Dominion, are the very same with those of a soveraign by Institution; and for the same reasons: which reasons are set down in the precedent chapter Complete text of 61127499:And the soveraign , in every Commonwealth, is the absolute Representative of all the Subjects; and therefore no other, can be Representative of any part of them, but so far forth, as he shall give leave; And to give leave to a Body Politique of Subjects, to have an absolute Representative to all intents and purposes, were to abandon the Government of so much of the Commonwealth, and to divide the dominion , contrary to their Peace and Defence, which the soveraign cannot be understood to doe, by any Grant, that does not plainly, and directly discharge them of their subjection Complete text of 61127551:For example, if a soveraign Monarch, or a soveraign Assembly, shall think fit to give command to the towns, and other severall parts of their territory, to send to him their Deputies, to enforme him of the condition, and necessities of the Subjects, or to advise with him for the making of good Lawes, or for any other cause, as with one Person representing the whole Country, such Deputies, having a place and time of meeting assigned them, are there, and at that time, a Body Politique, representing every Subject of that dominion ; but it is onely for such matters as shall be propounded unto them by that Man, or Assembly, that by the soveraign Authority sent for them; and when it shall be declared that nothing more shall be propounded, nor debated by them, the Body is dissolved Complete text of 61127646:Propriety Of A Subject Excludes Not The dominion Of The soveraign , But Onely Of Another Subject From whence we may collect, that the Propriety which a subject hath in his lands, consisteth in a right to exclude all other subjects from the use of them; and not to exclude their soveraign , be it an Assembly, or a Monarch Complete text of 61128292:I mean those, which I have in the precedent Chapter specified: as That men shall Judge of what is lawfull and unlawfull, not by the Law it selfe, but by their own private Judgements; That Subjects sinne in obeying the Commands of the Common-wealth, unlesse they themselves have first judged them to be lawfull: That their Propriety in their riches is such, as to exclude the Dominion, which the Common-wealth hath over the same: That it is lawfull for Subjects to kill such, as they call Tyrants: That the soveraign Power may be divided, and the like; which come to be instilled into the People by this means Complete text of 61128965:To the contrary, I find the KINGDOME OF GOD, to signifie in most places of Scripture, a Kingdome Properly So Named, constituted by the Votes of the People of Israel in peculiar manner; wherein they chose God for their King by Covenant made with him, upon Gods promising them the possession of the land of Canaan; and but seldom metaphorically; and then it is taken for dominion Over Sinne; (and only in the New Testament;) because such a dominion as that, every Subject shall have in the Kingdome of God, and without prejudice to the soveraign Complete text of 61130324:For all Subjects are bound to be in the company and presence of their own soveraign (when he requireth it) by the law of Nature; nor can they lawfully either expell him from any place of his own dominion , whether profane or holy; nor go out of his dominion , without his leave; much lesse (if he call them to that honour,) refuse to eat with him Complete text of 61130769:If they please therefore, they may (as many Christian Kings now doe) commit the government of their Subjects in matters of Religion to the Pope; but then the Pope is in that point Subordinate to them, and exerciseth that Charge in anothers dominion Jure Civili, in the Right of the Civill soveraign ; not Jure Divino, in Gods Right; and may therefore be discharged of that Office, when the soveraign for the good of his Subjects shall think it necessary |
