"God in much displeasure gave a king to the Israelites, and imputed it a sin to them that they sought one, but Christ apparently forbids his disciples to admit of any such heathenish government. 'The kings of the Gentiles,'saith he,'exercise lordship over them,' and they that 'exercise authority upon them are called benefactors: but ye shall not be so; but he that is greatest among you, let him be as the younger, and he that is chief, as he that serveth.'"
John Milton
The Ready and Easy Way
1660
