De rebus civilibus acr principiisque
et praeclara
justi vera multa  sed non sufficientia dixit
Agnosco homines mutuo metu et necessitate ad
colendam societatem et leges in ea ferendas et
constituendamu potestatem sociotatis custodem
cogi; sed praeter metum amor, paeter miseriae
i fugam, felicitatis mutuae illecebra
accessit, quae mutuis iuprimis auxiliis constat
Eaque ipsa in Codicis diplomatici praefatione distinxi
Ab Amore igitur juris fontes repeto, sed qui
sit dignus sapiente. amor autem tendit ad
telicitatem, in quo inest in vitare miseriam, et
d
curare ne nobis exitiosa sit cura aliem boni
dare operam
itaque quod in Hobbianis principiis rectum inest, altiore
bus illis continetur, non vicissim.
Caelerum quod altines sed nec Hobbiana
de summa potestate decreta, aut certis demon-
strationibus colliguntur aut rebus humanis
congruunt. Si illum audimus, quisquis potestalem
possumus
summam habet, omnimodam habet, nec liet
partiri jura regnandi, usque adeo ut in Regis
arbitrio sit  etiam de successore constituere.
quod tamen ne in ipsa quidem Gallia feretur
Haec sargumenta probat quibus haec probare
instiluit satis virium non habent. Fateor
divisis suribus majestatis, hoc imperfectum esse
in Corma Reipublicae, ut incommoda a dissensu
metui posse, si dissentian
u cossantis im
excepte, quema modum apud 
ex regulis exceptines itiam
non nominatae insunt
