A87137	The prerogative of popular government. A politicall discourse in two books. The former containing the first præliminary of Oceana, inlarged, interpreted, and vindicated from all such mistakes or slanders as have been alledged against it under the notion of objections. The second concerning ordination, against Dr. H. Hamond, Dr. L. Seaman, and the authors they follow. In which two books is contained the whole commonwealth of the Hebrews, or of Israel, senate, people, and magistracy, both as it stood in the institution by Moses, and as it came to be formed after the captivity. As also the different policies introduced into the Church of Christ, during the time of the Apostles. By James Harrington.

be_v also_o of_o two_o kind_n as_o first_o the_o reason_n why_o a_o government_n of_o citizen_n where_o the_o commonwealth_n be_v equal_a be_v hard_a to_o be_v conquer_v be_v that_o the_o invader_n of_o such_o a_o society_n must_v not_o only_o trust_v unto_o his_o own_o strength_n in_o as_o much_o as_o the_o commonwealth_n be_v equal_a he_o must_v needs_o find_v they_o unite_v but_o in_o

the_o reason_n why_o a_o government_n of_o citizen_n where_o the_o commonwealth_n be_v unequal_a be_v next_o the_o former_a the_o hard_a to_o be_v conquer_v be_v the_o same_o with_o this_o
