Answer:

In his work, Politics Drawn from the Very Words of the Holy Scripture, the French bishop and theologian Jacques-Bénigne Bossuet (1627–1704) presented a convincing and rational argument in support of absolutism. ... Bossuet also intended his work to impress upon rulers the heavy responsibility that the throne entailed.
