Israel made David king, that is, Israel designed David's person to be king, and Isreal consented to God's act of making David king, but they did not make David king. But he is not univocally and essentially the head of the commonwealth. The king is made king only by the free election of his people. Dr Ferne, M. Symmons, the P. Prelate, when they draw arguments from the head, do but dream, as the members should not resist the head. I conceive a society of reasonable men cannot want governors.
Domestic government is natural, monarchical politic.
Domestic is universal, monarchical not so. Hence that is a fiduciary power, or a power of trust, wherein the thing put in trust is not either his own proper heritage or gift, so as he may dispose of it as he pleaseth, as men dispose of their goods or heritage. Therefore, he hath the trust of life and religion, and hath both tables of the law in his custody, ex officio , to see that other men than himself keep the law. But the law is not the king's own, but given to him in trust. He who receiveth a kingdom conditionally, and may be dethroned if he sell it or put it away to any other, is a fiduciary patron, and hath it only in trust.
