A88180 England's birth-right justified against all arbitrary usurpation, whether regall or parliamentary, or under what vizor soever. With divers queries, observations and grievances of the people, declaring this Parliaments present proceedings to be directly contrary to those fundamentall principles, whereby their actions at first were justifyable against the King, in their present illegall dealings with those that have been their best friends, advancers and preservers: and in other things of high concernment to the freedom of all the free-born people of England; by a well-wisher to the just cause for which Lieutenant Col. John Lilburne is unjustly in-prisoned in New-gate. Lilburne, John, 1614?-1657. 1645 (1645) Wing L2102; Thomason E304_17; ESTC R200315 41,349 51

man_n that_o the_o parliament_n have_v a_o power_n to_o annul_v a_o law_n and_o to_o make_v a_o new_a law_n and_o to_o declare_v a_o law_n but_o know_v law_n in_o force_n &_o unrepealed_a by_o they_o be_v a_o rule_n so_o long_o as_o they_o so_o remain_v for_o all_o the_o commons_o of_o england_n whereby_o to_o walk_v and_o upon_o rational_a ground_n be_v conceive_v to_o be_v bind_v to_o the_o very_a parliament_n themselves_o as_o well_o as_o other_o and_o though_o by_o their_o legislative_a power_n they_o have_v authority_n to_o make_v new_a law_n yet_o no_o freeman_n of_o england_n be_v to_o take_v notice_n or_o can_v he_o of_o what_o they_o intend_v till_o they_o declare_v it_o neither_o can_v they_o as_o be_v conceive_v just_o punish_v any_o man_n for_o walk_v close_o to_o the_o

be_v no_o transgression_n therefore_o it_o be_v very_o requisite_a that_o the_o parliament_n will_v declare_v their_o privilege_n to_o the_o whole_a commons_o of_o england_n that_o so_o no_o man_n

especial_o for_o the_o best_a affect_a people_n it_o be_v the_o great_a hazard_n and_o danger_n that_o can_v be_v run_v unto_o to_o disart_a the_o only_o know_v and_o declare_v rule_n the_o lay_v
