by
their
Provinces
,
have
the
direction
of
the
whole
League
:
That
each
give
not
his
own
Vote
,
but
the
Vote
of
his
Province
;
and
that
no
Province
be
othewise
bound
,
than
by
her
own
Vote
.
IF
these
Models
(
in
which
I
clame
to
be
the
first
that
hath
laid
the
whole
,
and
the
highest
Mysteries
of
the
ancient
Common-wealths
,
unto
the
lowest
capacity
of
Vulgar
Debate
)
be
not
all
in
the
mouthes
of
great
men
,
and
in
Pamphlets
,
for
Chymera's
or
Utopia's
,
it
is
great
chance
:
Yet
contain
they
no
less
than
the
whole
Revolution
of
Popular
Prudence
.
Nor
is
it
more
certain
,
That
no
one
of
them
would
fit
the
present
state
of
this
Nation
,
than
that
he
or
they
,
whose
Contemplation
and
Vnderstanding
is
not
well
versed
in
the
most
,
or
in
the
best
of
these
,
shall
never
fit
a
Model
of
Popular
Government
unto
the
present
state
of
this
Nation
,
or
of
any
other
.
In
which
assurance
,
I
come
to
fulfil
my
promise
in
the
Second
Part
;
or
to
propose
such
a
Model
as
is
fitted
unto
the
present
state
of
this
Nation
.
THE
SECOND
PART
,
Proposing
a
MODEL
of
A
COMMON-WEALTH
Fitted
unto
the
Present
State
of
this
Nation
.
But
so
it
is
ever
,
That
the
Humours
or
Interests
of
predominant
Parties
,
hold
themselves
to
be
National
:
and
that
which
fitteth
them
,
can
never
fit
a
Nation
;
nor
that
which
fitteth
a
Nation
,
ever
fit
them
.
This
in
the
Introduction
of
Government
,
is
alwayes
the
main
Difficulty
.
But
where
parties
are
no
better
founded
,
or
fitted
for
Vsurpation
,
than
now
in
England
,
they
are
rather
to
be
slighted
than
considered
,
as
these
,
the
stoutest
whereof
have
but
given
this
Example
unto
the
rest
,
That
they
,
who
in
this
state
of
Affairs
shall
obstruct
an
equal
and
well-ordered
Government
,
shall
but
ruine
themselves
.
For
which
cause
it
is
proposed
.
1.

such
Free-men
as
are
between
Eighteen
years
of
age

capable
of
civil

part
of
this
Model
.
3.
That

whole
Native

of

course

one
third
part

time
of

so
declared
by

Senate
.
The
use
of
the
Ballot
,
being
as
full
of
prolixity
and
abstruseness
in
writing
,
as
of
dispatch
and
facility
in
practice
,
is
presumed
throughout
all
elections
and
results
in
this
Model
,
and
for
the
rest
referr'd
rather
unto
practice
than
writing
.
There
remain
the
Relgions
,
Military
and
Provincial
parts
of
this
frame
.
But
the
civil
Part
being
approv'd
,
they
follow
,
or
being
not
approv'd
,
may
be
spared
.
