“The very Deity itself both keepeth and requireth for ever this to be kept
as a law, that wheresoever there is a coagmentation of many, the lowest be knit
unto the highest by that which, being interjacent, may cause each to cleave to
the other, and so all to continue one. This order of things in public societies
is the work of policy, and the proper instrument thereof in every degree
is Power; Power being that ability which we have of ourselves, or receive
from others for performance of any action.”—Hooker.
