A Quaere touching an English Monarchy, and a Low-Country Free-State; which of them is the Freest, and most to bee desired.
An English Monarchie,
Is a most Honorable free Government by an hereditary King ac∣cording to the Lawes of the Kingdoms, supplyed only (without any standing Army, Garrisons, Free-Quarter, Excise, or Monethly Contributions, by a bare Ordinance of a few Commons) with a Subsidy or two, in divers yeares, freely granted by the Laity and Clergy in full Parliament by distinct Acts of Parliament.
A Low-Country Free-State,
Is an Ignoble Servitude under the Militarie Command of many selfe-Created new States, erected and supported by the meere Power of a standing Army, constant Garrisons, Citadels, accompanied with perpetuall Monethly Contributions, Taxes, Excises and Free-Quarter imposed on the Clergy & Laity by these new States alone, without common consent or Act of Parliament, and aug∣mented and disposed of at their owne Will and Pleasures.
