Dukes] Are leaders, or chiefe Governours, or Heads of some eminent families or kindred; who joyning together made an Aristocraticall forme of Government, that is, a Government of divers choyce and chiefe men, a governing among themselves in an equall tenour of authoritie without any King ruling over them by any absolute power, though for order sake some one might have the preeminence, as the Duke of Venice hath; such a government the Edomites had at the first, after that Kings, from them they came back to Dukes againe, all being elective and not by succession. If God dignifie them so much who are not of his houshold, how much will he honour and exalt those that are?
