A56187	Jus populi, or, A discourse wherein clear satisfaction is given as well concerning the right of subiects as the right of princes shewing how both are consistent and where they border one upon the other : as also, what there is divine and what there is humane in both and whether is of more value and extent.

his_o only_a ambition_n be_v to_o ease_v the_o public_a court_n and_o to_o fill_v private_a house_n with_o more_o vexation_n and_o unnatural_a contestation_n the_o roman_a law_n be_v very_o rigid_a

and_o who_o now_o have_v any_o competent_a share_n of_o reason_n can_v suppose_v that_o if_o god_n and_o nature_n have_v be_v so_o careful_a to_o provide_v for_o liberty_n in_o family_n and_o in_o
