ABSTRACT
It is strenuously argued by the Patrons of Arbitrary Power, that it has been the Custom of Nations to set up their Kings to a Superiour Heighth above all Law, and that a Prescription of Ages will produce Examples of the profoundest Submission in the People; and that in all the first Goverments of the World, even down to the Roman Empire; and that among the Subjects of the Roman Empire, none gave a more absolute obedient Deference to the Command of the Emperors, than the Christians, who on all hands chose rather to suffer Death, than to oppose their Emperors.
