LIke as in Warre, where the King is present in Person; and with him, the Nobilitie, Gentrie, and Teo∣manrie; there is the force and puissance of the Realme: Even so in Peace, wheresoever the Prince is, as the Head, to give life, (that is to say) to yeeld the highest and last assent; And where the Baronie, consisting of the Lords Spirituall, and Temporall; and the Comminaltie, made up of the Knights, and Burgesses, be as the Bodie,
present at his Call, to the end, to de∣liberate, conferre, and conclude; there is also the Councell, and Policie of the Realme: So that, for as much as every man, from the highest to the lowest, is there either in person, or by procuration; therefore of right reason, every man is said to be bound by that which doth passe from such an Assembly. And this frame of Po∣licie is both naturall, and harmonicall: Naturall, in that it hath an imita∣tion of the naturall bodie of man, truly called a little World; out of the three Cells whereof, namely, the Head, Breast, and Belly, the whole three powers of the Soule doe open, and utter themselves: and Harmoni∣call, because from such, and so well-tuned a Base, Meane, and Treble, there proceedeth a most exquisite consent, and delicious melodie.
