Kingdomes and Common-wealths, their successions
from God. [ 1153]
THe Romans closing in with that permanent errour of Mankind, to mistake
the Instruments and secundary Agents in Gods purposes,* 1.1 for the main Effici∣ent,
were wont variously to distinguish the derivation of their Empire;* 1.2 as by
force, so Iulius Caesar was invested; by the Senates election, so Tiberius; by the Soul∣diers,
so Severus; and by Inheritance, so Octavius Augustus. But most true it is, that
to what means soever they imputed their Emperours, were it Birth or Election, Con∣quest
or Usurpation, 'tis God who gives the Title to Kingdoms and Commonweales by
the first, and it is he also that directs and permits it by the last.
