Their OEconomy, &c. 46 
will they admit of feveral. A Prefident or 
Governour appears from the Premifes abfo- 
lutely neceflary ; and no more than one will 
be tolerated among them. Polyarchy, or 
a Plurality of Rulers would introduce that 
Anatchy and Confufion which would occa- 
fion the certain and entire -Deftruétion of 
the whole State; unlefs thofe Competitors 
and Pretenders to the Crown be prefently 
depofed. 
In all Swarms united, wherein are more 
or fewer of the Royal Iflue, all excepting 
one are flain and expelled. And in their Ci- 
vil Wars and Contefts, where the Forces 
are near an Equality, how fatal have 
I often found the Confequence. Such fixed 
Battles I have fometimes beheld, and that 
not for a few Hours, but two or three Days 
together; till one Side has been entirely 
vanquifhed and fubdued, or both difabled, 
and in fhort ruined, and brought to De- 
folation. But united under one Sovereign, 
they live in perfect Amity, Love and Peace. 
Whence it is plain beyond Difpute, this is 
their Form of Government, and this alone. 
A Body without a Head would be a Mon- 
fter, and. two Heads to one Body would be 
tlie fame. 
If a Governour is fo neceflary in this 
little State, how much more in the great 
World of Nature?
