Men are in both the cases obliged to obey him whom they see actually invested with the authority, by that sovereign from whom he ought to derive it, without disputing or examining the causes, either of the removal of the one, or the preferment of the other. Secondly, be- cause all power is attained, either by the election and consent of the people (and that takes away your objection of forcible intrusion) ; or else by a con- quest of them (and that gives such a legal authority as you mention to... be wanting in the usurpation of a tyrant) ; so that either this title is right, and then there are no usurpers, or else it is a wrong one, and then there are none else but usurpers, if you exa- mine the original pretences of the princes of the world. Thirdly (which, quitting the dispute in ge- neral, is a particular justification of his highness), OF OLIVER CROMWELL. $7 the government of England was totally broken and dissolved, and extinguished by the confusions of a civil war; so that his highness could not be accused to have possessed himself violently of the ancient building of the commonwealth, but to have pru- dently and peaceably built up a new one out of the ruins and ashes of the former : and he who, after a deplorable shipwreck, can with extraordinary in- dustry gather together the dispersed and broken planks and pieces of it, and with no less wonderful art and felicity so rejoin them, as to make a new vessel more tight and beautiful than the old one, de- serves, no doubt, to have the command of her (even as his highness had) by the desire of the seamen and passengers themselves.
