^{page 93 note 2} I do not understand why Ranke, , in his brief essay, Der Idee der Volkssou-veränetät in den Schriften der Jesuiten (Werke, xxiv. 225)Google Scholar, denies the formation of any general theories of popular rights before the Jesuits. Buchanan, whom he regards as merely concerned with the affairs of Scotland, spends more than half his work in laying down universal principles. The Vindiciæ is at least as wide in its scope as most Jesuit writings.

^{page 96 note 1} Gretser gives a vivid description of the evils of leaving the civil magistrate supreme in religious matters. He pertinently asks whether passive obedience is to be exhibited to a monarch who turns the churches into mosques and tries to replace the cross by the crescent.— Commentarius Exegeticus, c. vi.

^{page 99 note 1} A book directed against the oath of allegiance to James I., which was expressly framed so as to be admissible for Catholics.

^{page 99 note 2} This book was written by Father Parsons, or Persons. It was so regarded even at the time. I do not know what grounds Father Gerard has for denying the authorship. The question is discussed in Tierney (Dodd, iii. 31 sqq.) and indeed he appears to settle it in favour of Parsons's authorship.

I have compared the two editions 1599 and 1605, and find that not only are there more than two pages about the matter, but that the only material alteration is that, in describing the death of Clement, the words ‘æternum Galliæ decus, ut plerique visum est,’ are omitted in 1605. There are two other slight verbal alterations in the chapter, and in describing Henry IV. the clause is changed to ‘nunc quod gaudendum in primis mente mutatâ Christianissimo Galliæ regi.’

^{page 109 note 3} In one way Suarez, (De Legibus, iii. 3)Google Scholar and Molina (III. i. I) seem to be nearer Rousseau than Locke. Unlike both they place political power in the community by the act of God, as Author of nature, and not by a definite contract. But they seem to incline to the view expounded by Rousseau that kings and other governors are mere delegates of the sovereign people, and that there is no contract with them.
