What government in its true and proper nature is; and the common errour thereof rectified. ... VI. That the laws, ordinances, &c. of our forefathers, are the onely rulers and governours of the English nation; ... VII. That neither parliaments, or any other, have any right, power, or authority to change, alter, suppress, or suspend the same; ... And in the conclusion, the nature of contracts, and the governments thereupon, made manifest and cleared.	Norwood, Robert, Captain.	1653 (1653)	Wing N1383; Thomason E702_16; ESTC R203007	38,577	71

after levelled to made even and one with it is no other then the Lord himself who is God blessed for ever Shall we then fear or be afraid to be made one in and with the Lord and one in and with another in him What a perfect full and compleat union and hamony of in and with the whole Creation what a glory what a strength what a beaty and excellency will this be what a joyful shout will this make Let us not therefore look upon God as an hard and evil master as one that would hurt us and destroy us for verily he never did nor doth nor that I may speak with reverence possibly can hurt us for it is altogether contrary to his being our hurt our evil our destruction is onely and alone in of and from our selves Our salvation only and alone in of and from him Jam. 1. 13. c. Let no man say when he is tempted I am tempted of God for God cannot be tempted with evil neither tempteth he any man but every man is tempted when he is drawn away by his own concupiscence and is enticed Then when lust hath conceived it bringeth forth sin and sin when it is finished bringeth forth death Erre not my dear brethren Every good giving and every perfect gift is from above and cometh down from the Father of lights with whom is no variableness neither shadow of turning I will therefore upon this account neither fear God nor man but I will in all things and at all times greatly fear my self knowing most assuredly that except I hurt my self nothing else possibly can hurt me I will therefore always in all things love him who is my salvation even the Father of lights from whom comes onely every good and perfect gift Let us then with all readiness and chearfulness of minde and heart meet the Lord in this way of his exceeding great kindness and uttermost extent of his love to us I do admire that I say not adore but verily I honour and reverence the wisdom prudence providence justness and up●-rightness that is the high perfection in righteousness in our forefathers in this particular as is to be plainly found seen known and read in the Laws Ordinances Customs and Constitutions of this Nation which know not neither may they know any distinction or difference of persons for they are all one there in the Center and right and justice is commanded and required to be done to all to all equally and alike as is known unto all however otherwise as they lye in the circumference in reference to the body known and distinguished as being such or such a member bearing such and such an Office or place in and unto the body or Commonwealth yet there as is said before they must return and account as to the whole so to every particular member thereof grieved wronged or offended I should be sorry to see any people in the world in whom so manifold and great transgressions sins and iniquities of their own and forefathers should be treasured up and centered together in one as to be put to such straits and extremities for their deliverance as to enter into such a Contract with any man as Nahash the Ammonite required of the men of Iabesh Gilead that he might put out their right eys but he lost his end and the people were delivered another way and by another hand I deny not but that such a thing may possibly be for God is just yet he is merciful also I will therefore hope of a more plain and even path unto Ierusalem and more visible for that peoples deliverance but more may appear hereafter Verily there is one thing lies extream hard and heavy upon me in reference to this Nation and sticks very much with me and that is the breath of Agreements Covenants and Contracts Verily it grieves me at the very soul and pains me at the heart I know not where to lay it in particular but verily there is no less then the price of blood lies somewhere none are ignorant of the unheard of breaches of the Publick Faith of the Nation which verily should have been deerer to us then our lives brought to nothing made base and contemptible the Contracts made with several the souldiery of the Nation who upon those Contracts went continually in jeopardy of their lives lost their limbs and lives many of them left their families desolate and forsaken and many of them who have escaped with their lives have after all been ready to famish for bread and their families also The several Covenants Contracts and Articles made with and given to those who engaged against the Parliament extream vilely and basely violated Verily these things lye heavy and hard yet have I seen these things made a merriment and laughter even by some of those whom it did most neerly and properly concern to see made good and performed Can it be said truly There wanted power and ability to perform Verily I wish it could be so said in truth but I fear it will be found otherwise Oh what Oh what shall we do in this case O that my blood could satisfie in this thing Let us remember what David did when the water for which he longed was brought unto him He pours it upon the ground saying It is the blood of the men who went in jeopardy of their lives and therefore would not drink of it Surely to eat the sweat of another mans brows would be very unpleasant harsh sowre and hard to him who is of an upright heart and mind and very unrighteous and unjust also except inability necessitate thereunto but to eat and drink not onely the sweat but the blood of others also verily it is a most great and grievous wickedness an horrible unrighteousness and impiety I earnestly beg pray and beseech that a very diligent due and exact in quisition or enquiry be made concerning this matter and Oh that it might be done stilly and quietly yet effectually and throughly that it might be done with meekness and gentleness of spirit in much wisdom and moderaton yet faithfully and uprightly May not this quarrel and controversie this great strife and contest I will hope it may yet be taken up if it be done in time Verily I hope wrath may be asswaged the great and grievous cries yea and just ones too both of the dead and living may be appeased satisfaction given and an atonement made in this case Oh that it may not onely be done as to the matter but that it may be justly done as to the way and manner also that we do not injustice to one to satisfie another Perhaps less much less then their Contracts were and in justice they might require will appease quiet satisfic and content and thereby those now whose blood whose lives whose sorrows whose troubles miseries and calamities cry and call mightily and that every day for wrath judgement and destruction will return unto us strengthen our hands and hearts
