THE CONTENTS of the Second Book.

Chap. I. HAving thus far treated of Rights and Laws, which are the prime and efficient cause of all Humane, Christian, and Legal Society; We in the first Chapter of this Book proceed to declare the Causes of all Society.

Chap. II. This Chap. shews the cause and end of Regal power.

Chap. III. Declares the attributes of it, and incidently the causes of Magi∣strates power.

Chap. IV. Compares the three species of Government, viz. Monarchy, De∣mocracy, and Aristocracy; wherein the excellency of Monarchy appears above either of the other, as well by reason and experience, as by the institution of God, and consent of the world.

Chap. V. Shews the internal causes disposing men to sedition, as well from the Party governing, as from the Subjects or party governed.

Chap. VI. Declares the causes and attributes of the Fathers power. And

Chap. VII. The causes and attributes of the Husbands power. In this Chap. is demonstrated, that though the Fathers and Husbands power be from the Law of Nature, yet may the exercise of them be restrained by the Supreme power of any place, without any wrong or prejudice to them; which could not be done without a violence upon the Law of Nature, if the Fathers and Husbands power were an institution of God, and Supreme powers an insti∣tution of Man.

Chap. VIII. Contains the causes and attributes of Despotical, or the Masters power; wherein is declared, that if it be impossible for any man to make another his Master, then necessarily is it impossible any man should make an∣other his Prince or Soveraign.

Chap. IX. Treats of the causes and attributes of Ecclesiastical power.
