Note 437 — Chapter I · FLIGHT OF THE KING TO THE SCOTS.
Reading edition
‘The power which is directive and states and ascertains the morality of the rule for obedience, is in the law of God: but the original, whence all just power arises, which is magistratical and coercitive, is from the will or free gift of the people who may either keep the power in themselves, or give up their subjection and will in the hand of another.’ (Vane, The People’s Case Stated.)
