your_o title_n page_n be_v in_o part_n rectify_v i_o come_v to_o your_o preface_n mr._n harrington_n say_v that_o without_o a_o national_a religion_n there_o can_v be_v no_o liberty_n of_o

of_o this_o you_o fall_v merry_o as_o thus_o once_o upon_o a_o time_n there_o be_v a_o man_n call_v william_n thomas_n therefore_o william_n and_o thomas_n must_v for_o evermore_o be_v one_o and_o

for_o two_o penny_n as_o you_o have_v make_v not_o worth_a a_o half_a penny_n mr._n harrington_n state_n the_o commonwealth_n of_o sparta_n thus_o lycurgus_n institute_v a_o senate_n eligible_a by_o

they_o the_o people_n give_v they_o the_o senate_n as_o plato_n say_v the_o curb_n which_o be_v the_o power_n and_o authority_n of_o the_o ephori_fw-la magistrate_n create_v about_o one_o hundred_o

more_o firm_a and_o durable_a hereby_o it_o be_v apparent_a when_o the_o senate_n upon_o these_o advantage_n of_o fewness_n and_o for_o life_n begin_v to_o propose_v perverse_o unto_o the_o people_n than_o the_o people_n begin_v to_o add_v diminish_v pervert_v and_o evert_v what_o the_o senate_n propose_v that_o be_v they_o begin_v as_o in_o like_o case_n be_v inavoidable_a to_o debate_v and_o the_o people_n thus_o take_v upon_o they_o to_o debate_v polydorus_n and_o theopompus_n be_v king_n endeavour_v to_o add_v unto_o the_o fundamental_a law_n that_o if_o the_o people_n do_v not_o
