THE INTRODUCTION Shewing how a Parliament CONSISTS.
[Section I] WHen Families increast into Villages, Towns, Cities, large Countreys, Kingdoms, and Em∣pires, under one Fa∣ther or Conductor, (for all other Governments are collateral to Paternal and Monarchical) there was a necessity to Constitute a Supream Council of the chiefest and wisest men selected from the multitude, as might keep such extended Dominions in a perfect Unity and Obedience to their Original Father or Monarch.
The end of this Constitution was both for Conservation of the Original Family or Potentate, who did thus Con∣stitute them, or for his own ease in ma∣naging the common interest of Safety and Plenty.
