TY - ABST T1 - Chaos: or, A Discourse, Wherein Is presented to the view of the Magistrate, and all others who shall peruse the same, a Frame of Government by way of a Republique, wherein is little or no danger of miscarriage, if prudently attempted, and thoroughly prosecuted by Authority. Wherein is no difficulty in the Practice, nor obscurity in the Method; But all things plain and easie to the meanest capacity. Here's no hard or strange Names, nor unknown Titles (to amaze the hearers) used, and yet here's a full and absolute Power derivative insensibly from the whole, and yet practically conveyed to the best men: wherein if any shall endeavour a breach, he shall break himself: and if its must be so, that Cats shall provide Supper, here they shall do it suitable to the best Palats, and easie to digest.
