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

force_n for_o better_a keep_v the_o peace_n in_o yorkshire_n and_o though_o it_o be_v true_a that_o this_o tax_n of_o 8600_o pound_n be_v never_o levy_v yet_o our_o own_o great_a lord_n and_o
