A85519	The grand concernments of England ensured: viz. liberty of conscience, extirpation of popery, defence of property, easing of taxes, advance of trade, soveraign powers of Parliaments, reformation of religion, laws and liberties, indempnity, settlement, by a constant succession of free Parliaments, the only possible expedient to preserve us from ruine or slavery. The objections, answered; but more largely, that of a senate. With a sad expostulation, and some smart rebukes to the Army.		1659 (1659)	Wing G1492; Thomason E1001_6; ESTC R204729	70,399	77

something_o more_o natural_a to_o the_o body_n of_o the_o nation_n will_v with_o much_o more_o reason_n in_o less_o time_n and_o with_o less_o hazard_n restore_v the_o pale_a face_a religion_n of_o

that_o such_o a_o parliament_n be_v a_o infallible_a mean_n under_o god_n for_o preservation_n of_o the_o nation_n and_o the_o right_n and_o interest_n thereof_o i_o shall_v take_v the_o less_o pain_n to_o clear_v the_o equity_n of_o my_o proposition_n since_o the_o malcontent_n of_o the_o nation_n that_o have_v make_v so_o great_a a_o noise_n late_o seem_v to_o make_v this_o their_o only_a wish_n

of_o the_o first_o since_o the_o latter_a shall_v render_v the_o supremacy_n of_o the_o former_a subordinate_a i_o know_v there_o can_v be_v no_o supreme_a authority_n without_o the_o militia_n it_o

supreme_a authority_n we_o remember_v who_o dispute_v the_o militia_n with_o the_o late_a king_n i_o will_v they_o have_v it_o now_o without_o dispute_n i_o propose_v that_o they_o be_v successive_o

a_o considerable_a number_n of_o tradesman_n can_v fail_v for_o city_n and_o borough_n to_o make_v voice_n for_o the_o advantage_n of_o trade_n yea_o few_o gentleman_n of_o the_o parliament_n but_o
