A67913	The free-born English mans plea for justice: or, A cry against post-fact laws. Being a survey of the controversies touching the late purchased titles through the true perspective of justice. By William Jackson, one who hath lived to see the famine of justice removed, and hopes to see it continue as plentifully amongst us; as food in Samaria; after the flight of these Assirians: 2 Kings, 7.

have_v such_o true_a title_n to_o their_o possession_n as_o the_o law_n of_o the_o land_n shall_v justify_v we_o can_v think_v such_o injustice_n can_v be_v permit_v by_o his_o majesty_n as_o to_o suffer_v they_o to_o be_v expel_v contrary_a to_o law_n of_o which_o his_o royal_a proclamation_n have_v give_v they_o assurance_n but_o if_o the_o law_n of_o the_o land_n will_v not_o justify_v their_o possession_n it_o be_v great_a injustice_n they_o shall_v hold_v they_o both_o to_o the_o detriment_n of_o those_o in_o present_a that_o ought_v to_o enjoy_v they_o and_o to_o be_v a_o ill_a

the_o law_n do_v not_o justify_v that_o title_n at_o the_o time_n of_o bargain_n in_o the_o name_n of_o god_n let_v justice_n frustrate_v and_o restore_v to_o the_o just_a owner_n according_a to_o the_o true_a title_n and_o let_v not_o our_o age_n seek_v to_o justify_v wrong_a by_o a_o post_n fact_n law_n for_o which_o these_o kingdom_n have_v already_o feel_v such_o sore_a judgement_n one_o such_o law_n to_o take_v the_o blood_n of_o one_o man_n in_o that_o nature_n have_v be_v revenge_v upon_o the_o whole_a three_o nation_n with_o the_o blood_n of_o many_o and_o shall_v post_v fact_n

fiat_fw-la iustitia_fw-la you_o will_v be_v loath_a either_o of_o you_o to_o be_v account_v unjust_a you_o ought_v not_o to_o be_v your_o own_o judge_n the_o law_n ought_v to_o be_v our_o judge_n

see_v therefore_o that_o justice_n be_v that_o general_a privilege_n wherein_o all_o just_a and_o equal_a interest_n be_v most_o privilege_v let_v we_o with_o one_o mind_n think_v of_o no_o other_o
