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.	Parker, Henry, 1604-1652.	1644 (1644)	Wing P403; ESTC R13068	55,808	73

be_v apparent_a that_o in_o the_o family_n the_o power_n of_o the_o mother_n do_v participate_v with_o the_o power_n of_o the_o father_n and_o by_o its_o mixture_n and_o coordination_n can_v but_o

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
