Thole who are againfi our late Happy Revolution, alfert that Mankind never were at, Liberty to chufe either their Form of Government, or their Governors, but from the Beginning have been fubiett to fuch as had an Abfolute Power given them immediately by God', and to prove that Slavery is the natural and irretrievable State of Mankind, they tell us that Hdam was an Univerfal Monarch, and had an unlimi ted Power given him by God, over the Lives of his Wife and Children, and that his Eldeft Son in the Eldefi Line poli'e?'ed the fame Right to govern all Adam's Pollerity.
None could imagine this Notion was flatted with any other Defign than to ridicule the Divine, Right of Kings, were it not urg'd by reverend Gentlemen with the utmofi Gravity. Whatever firefs they may lay on it they can't produce one lnf'tance, of any Mortal be ing fo whimfical as to have pretended to govern a fingle Cottage by Vertue of being Adam's Heir.
