A94306	Sergeant Thorpe judge of assize for the northern circuit, his charge, as it was delivered to the grand-jury at York assizes the twentieth of March, 1648. and taken in shortwriting. Clearly epitomizing the statutes belonging to this nation, which concerns (and, as a golden rule, ought to regulate) the severall estates and conditions of men. And (being duely observed) do really promote the peace and plenty of this Commonwealth.	Thorpe, Francis, 1595-1665.	1649 (1649)	Wing T1071; Thomason E1068_1; ESTC R210315	21,832	31

do_v agree_v they_o will_v be_v govern_v but_o let_v i_o not_o be_v mistake_v for_o when_o i_o say_v accountable_a to_o the_o people_n i_o do_v not_o mean_v to_o the_o humour_n and_o fancy_n of_o

monarchy_n be_v a_o clear_a tyranny_n but_o it_o be_v a_o political_a monarchy_n or_o monarchy_n govern_v by_o law_n take_v in_o thereto_o all_o the_o good_n and_o avoid_v all_o the_o ill_n both_o of_o aristocracy_n and_o democracie_n and_o so_o i_o may_v true_o say_v that_o look_v upon_o the_o frame_n and_o constitution_n of_o it_o alone_o and_o as_o it_o be_v upon_o the_o theoreticall_a and_o
