ABSTRACT

Tho’ of the three Forms of Government acknowledged in the Schools,2 all have been very warmly opposed, and as warmly defended; yet, in this Point, the different Advocates will, I believe, very readily agree, that there is not one of the three which is not greatly to be preferred to a total Anarchy; a State in which there is no Subordination, no lawful Power, and no settled Government; but where every Man is at Liberty to act in whatever Manner it pleaseth him best.
