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 england_n and_o confirm_v the_o good_a law_n of_o the_o nation_n which_o necessity_n have_v something_o weaken_v of_o late_a year_n and_o procure_v a_o sound_a indemnity_n which_o some_o think_v to_o be_v in_o a_o languish_a condition_n neither_o of_o which_o for_o aught_o i_o perceive_v yet_o be_v in_o such_o extremity_n as_o to_o be_v under_o necessity_n of_o drink_v in_o these_o ass_n milk_n i_o have_v do_v what_o i_o first_o promise_v and_o make_v it_o clear_a that_o the_o call_n in_o the_o late_a king_n son_n be_v neither_o a_o certain_a nor_o yet_o probable_a mean_n for_o preservation_n of_o the_o nation_n and_o the_o right_n and_o interest_n thereof_o my_o next_o business_n be_v to_o produce_v a_o expedient_a that_o may_v do_v what_o the_o other_o only_o do_v pretend_v which_o trouble_n i_o give_v myself_o and_o my_o reader_n not_o to_o prescribe_v to_o man_n in_o authority_n refer_v it_o to_o their_o judgement_n what_o form_n of_o popular_a government_n will_v make_v this_o nation_n most_o happy_a whereunto_o my_o opinion_n shall_v submit_v though_o it_o shall_v not_o consent_v but_o because_o our_o author_n put_v in_o those_o term_n the_o only_o mean_v of_o preservation_n thereby_o insinuate_v as_o if_o ruin_n be_v unavoidable_a if_o his_o king_n can_v not_o save_v we_o we_o must_v needs_o perish_v i_o think_v myself_o thereby_o fair_o provoke_v not_o by_o my_o silence_n to_o consent_v that_o the_o nation_n be_v leave_v in_o a_o undo_a condition_n have_v render_v his_o only_a preservative_n fruitless_a and_o frustrate_a but_o to_o persuade_v my_o countryman_n to_o cease_v from_o the_o speech_n and_o action_n of_o such_o as_o be_v desperate_a and_o devote_v to_o ruin_n by_o offer_v a_o safe_a and_o facile_a way_n of_o recovery_n to_o a_o better_a condition_n and_o temper_n of_o state_n than_o our_o nation_n have_v enjoy_v in_o the_o memory_n of_o man_n towards_o which_o the_o pulse_n of_o the_o nation_n be_v feel_v to_o

way_n of_o a_o commonwealth_n be_v no_o far_o to_o seek_v i_o shall_v mislike_v it_o more_o than_o i_o do_v if_o i_o take_v a_o voyage_n to_o venice_n of_o any_o other_o part_n of_o the_o world_n to_o bring_v in_o a_o new_a pattern_n since_o if_o my_o chothe_n do_v sit_v as_o well_o to_o my_o back_n they_o will_v please_v i_o no_o less_o then_o if_o they_o be_v alla_fw-mi mode_n a_o france_n i_o say_v then_o that_o the_o supreme_a authority_n of_o the_o nation_n be_v full_o vest_v in_o parliament_n of_o england_n successive_o and_o frequent_o choose_v by_o the_o good_a people_n thereof_o be_v free_a and_o without_o check_n upon_o they_o this_o be_v a_o infallible_a mean_n under_o god_n of_o preservation_n of_o the_o nation_n and_o the_o right_n and_o interest_n thereof_o by_o the_o supreme_a authority_n i_o mean_v the_o whole_a legislative_a power_n and_o whatever_o power_n of_o right_n belong_v former_o to_o king_n lord_n and_o commons_o joint_o i_o add_v that_o this_o be_v full_o vest_v in_o they_o thereby_o i_o understand_v that_o they_o have_v the_o sole_a power_n of_o the_o militia_n which_o be_v claim_v by_o the_o king_n and_o by_o the_o parliament_n but_o whoever_o can_v get_v fast_o hold_v will_v not_o let_v go_v but_o will_v be_v sure_a to_o have_v and_o to_o hold_v from_o that_o day_n forward_o without_o this_o they_o will_v only_o be_v complemented_a the_o supreme_a authority_n of_o the_o nation_n as_o in_o courtesy_n we_o bespeak_v sir_n john_n and_o sir_n thomas_n knight_n of_o the_o lord_n protector_n but_o no_o such_o matter_n in_o parliament_n of_o england_n choose_v i_o intend_v knight_n citizens_z and_o burgess_n by_o the_o good_a people_n of_o the_o nation_n i_o mean_v such_o as_o have_v not_o declare_v themselves_o for_o the_o king_n against_o the_o parliament_n in_o the_o begin_n of_o the_o war_n or_o be_v discover_v in_o arm_n or_o plot_n upon_o the_o same_o account_n as_o disturber_n of_o the_o peace_n since_o be_v such_o as_o by_o law_n be_v capable_a thereof_o successive_o and_o frequent_o i_o design_n that_o the_o people_n lose_v not_o their_o benefit_n of_o election_n after_o once_o choose_v by_o parliament_n sit_v time_n out_o of_o mind_n but_o that_o all_o parliament_n be_v choose_v and_o often_o choose_v by_o the_o people_n at_o lest_o once_o in_o two_o year_n be_v free_a and_o without_o check_n upon_o they_o i_o will_v have_v that_o they_o be_v not_o overpowr_v by_o force_n nor_o control_v by_o a_o negative_a voice_n of_o single_a person_n or_o peer_n thus_o explain_v i_o will_v stand_v to_o my_o tackle_n 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 and_o profess_v to_o acquiesce_v in_o the_o resolution_n of_o a_o free_a parliament_n who_o supremacy_n they_o make_v so_o little_a doubt_n to_o acknowledge_v that_o they_o or_o some_o body_n for_o they_o profess_v they_o will_v be_v content_a to_o be_v account_v traitor_n if_o they_o dispute_v i_o shall_v only_o say_v this_o that_o the_o knight_n citizens_z and_o burgess_n be_v those_o and_o only_o those_o in_o who_o we_o repose_v our_o trust_n as_o those_o from_o who_o we_o expect_v our_o benefit_n they_o be_v as_o it_o be_v the_o covenant_n servant_n of_o the_o nation_n be_v a_o part_n and_o the_o best_a part_n of_o ourselves_o too_o if_o we_o be_v not_o overrule_v in_o our_o choice_n such_o who_o if_o they_o shall_v harm_v we_o must_v wrong_v themselves_o be_v oblige_v in_o every_o thing_n they_o impose_v upon_o we_o our_o interest_n be_v common_a and_o inseparable_a but_o that_o of_o king_n and_o lord_n distinct_a yea_o contrary_a to_o our_o liberty_n and_o so_o selvish_a and_o

we_o they_o can_v when_o these_o be_v bind_v to_o maintain_v their_o honour_n and_o prerogative_n though_o upon_o our_o ruin_n who_o be_v usual_o never_o the_o less_o pursy_a and_o powerful_a as_o we_o be_v the_o more_o flavish_a and_o indigent_a therefore_o it_o concern_v we_o that_o the_o supreme_a authority_n be_v vest_v as_o i_o say_v i_o propose_v they_o the_o militia_n because_o it_o will_v be_v poor_a providence_n to_o betrust_v they_o with_o consult_v for_o our_o welfare_n if_o they_o have_v not_o power_n to_o see_v their_o resolution_n put_v in_o effectual_a execution_n give_v a_o parliament_n power_n of_o declare_v law_n and_o some_o other_o person_n or_o person_n power_n to_o dispute_v those_o law_n or_o to_o subvert_v they_o and_o then_o you_o may_v save_v the_o labour_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 be_v the_o same_o thing_n but_o this_o ad_fw-la homines_fw-la to_o man_n that_o will_v unwilling_o part_v with_o the_o sword_n yet_o seem_v very_o free_a the_o parliament_n shall_v be_v the_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 and_o frequent_o choose_v because_o it_o be_v most_o unreasonable_a that_o parliament_n or_o what_o ever_o we_o call_v that_o we_o shall_v choose_v shall_v continue_v as_o long_o as_o they_o please_v this_o will_v make_v way_n for_o corruption_n as_o it_o be_v common_o suggest_v against_o some_o in_o this_o parliament_n who_o blame_n be_v very_o improvident_o lay_v upon_o all_o the_o rest_n for_o
