An essay upon government: or, The natural notions of government; demonstrated in a chain of consequences from the fundamental principles of society. : By which, all the nicest cases of conscience relating to government may be, and many of 'em are here resolv'd, with respect to the authority of government in general: the end and manner of making and executing laws: the measure of submission to princes, and the lawfulness or unlawfulness of revolutions, in a method altogether new. By Tho. Burnett, M.A. prebendary of Sarum, and rector of Westkington in Wiltshire. To which are added three sermons, preach'd Jan. 30th. 1715/16; the first preach'd before His Majesty, by the Archbishop of Canterbury. The second before the House of Lords in England, by the Bishop of Gloucester. The third before their excellencies the lords-justices and the House of Lords in Ireland; by the Bishop of Clogher.
