An heritable crown, or an heritable throne, or by what other fanciful name such things may be called, have no other significant explanation than that mankind are heritable property. To inherit a Government, is to inherit the people, as if they were flocks and herds.
Side 62 - That the raising or keeping a standing army within the kingdom in time of peace, unless it be with the consent of Parliament, is against law.
