A89759	A pathway unto England's perfect settlement; and its centre and foundation of rest and peace, discovered by Capt. Robert Norwood. In this discourse you have cleared and proved, I. What government in its true and proper nature is; and the common errour thereof rectified. ... VI. That the laws, ordinances, &c. of our forefathers, are the onely rulers and governours of the English nation; ... VII. That neither parliaments, or any other, have any right, power, or authority to change, alter, suppress, or suspend the same; ... And in the conclusion, the nature of contracts, and the governments thereupon, made manifest and cleared.	Norwood, Robert, Captain.	1653 (1653)	Wing N1383; Thomason E702_16; ESTC R203007	38,577	71

be_v to_o be_v see_v find_v and_o know_v in_o each_o step_n we_o take_v in_o calmness_n there_o be_v clearness_n and_o so_o i_o hope_v we_o shall_v find_v our_o way_n the_o better_a and_o the_o soon_o these_o three_o thing_n be_v take_v along_o with_o we_o we_o will_v hope_v that_o the_o lord_n who_o be_v our_o light_n will_v meet_v we_o and_o direct_v we_o for_o it_o be_v write_v he_o be_v nigh_o

or_o bring_v we_o into_o our_o way_n again_o that_o be_v as_o certain_a it_o be_v then_o very_o worth_a our_o seek_n and_o happy_a shall_v we_o be_v in_o find_v it_o be_v write_v in_o a_o certain_a place_n in_o thy_o light_n shall_v we_o see_v light_n to_o that_o light_a therefore_o i_o desire_v we_o may_v all_o look_v and_o again_o by_o a_o still_o soft_a and_o gentle_a motion_n to_o make_v our_o return_n even_o to_o the_o beginning_n of_o day_n and_o see_v how_o we_o there_o stand_v in_o the_o first_o of_o genesis_n we_o have_v it_o thus_o in_o the_o beginning_n god_n create_v the_o heaven_n and_o the_o earth_n and_o the_o heaven_n be_v without_o form_n and_o void_a and_o darkness_n be_v upon_o the_o deep_a and_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n move_v upon_o the_o water_n then_o god_n say_v let_v there_o be_v light_n and_o there_o be_v light_a and_o god_n see_v the_o light_n that_o it_o be_v good_a and_o god_n separate_v the_o light_n from_o the_o darkness_n and_o the_o light_n he_o call_v day_n and_o the_o darkness_n he_o call_v night_n and_o in_o vers_n 16._o it_o be_v say_v god_n make_v two_o great_a light_n the_o great_a light_n to_o rule_v the_o day_n and_o the_o less_o light_a to_o rule_v the_o night_n and_o that_o he_o set_v they_o in_o the_o firmament_n of_o heaven_n to_o shine_v upon_o the_o earth_n and_o to_o rule_v in_o the_o day_n and_o in_o the_o night_n and_o to_o separate_v the_o light_n from_o the_o darkness_n there_o we_o find_v that_o the_o first_o word_n god_n give_v forth_o when_o all_o thing_n be_v in_o a_o chaos_n or_o confusion_n be_v light_a let_v there_o be_v light_n and_o there_o be_v light_a this_o than_o be_v as_o appear_v the_o first_o creation_n go_v forth_o or_o manifestation_n of_o god_n as_o the_o scripture_n testific_a john_n in_o his_o first_o chapter_n witness_v the_o same_o thing_n in_o the_o beginning_n say_v he_o be_v that_o word_n and_o moses_n say_v in_o the_o beginning_n god_n so_o then_o in_o god_n be_v this_o word_n as_o john_n afterward_o have_v it_o that_o word_n say_v he_o be_v with_o god_n and_o that_o word_n be_v god_n the_o same_o be_v in_o the_o begin_n with_o god_n all_o thing_n be_v make_v by_o it_o and_o without_o it_o be_v make_v nothing_o that_o be_v make_v in_o it_o say_v he_o be_v life_n and_o the_o life_n be_v the_o light_n of_o man_n and_o that_o the_o light_n shine_v in_o the_o darkness_n though_o the_o darkness_n comprehend_v it_o not_o and_o that_o he_o be_v in_o the_o world_n and_o that_o the_o world_n be_v make_v by_o he_o though_o the_o world_n know_v it_o not_o moses_n say_v the_o same_o thing_n for_o say_v he_o the_o earth_n be_v without_o form_n and_o void_a and_o darkness_n be_v upon_o the_o deep_a until_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n move_v upon_o the_o water_n and_o than_o god_n say_v let_v there_o be_v light_n and_o there_o be_v light_a so_o that_o it_o appear_v the_o first_o word_n of_o god_n be_v light_a and_o that_o light_n be_v life_n john_n also_o call_v it_o the_o first_o beget_v of_o god_n and_o so_o moses_n the_o spirit_n of_o god_n move_v upon_o the_o water_n and_o the_o first_o product_n be_v light_n paul_n in_o his_o epistle_n to_o the_o colossian_n call_v it_o the_o image_n of_o the_o invisible_a god_n and_o the_o first_o beget_v of_o every_o creature_n by_o he_o say_v he_o be_v all_o thing_n create_v which_o be_v in_o heaven_n and_o which_o be_v in_o earth_n thing_n visible_a and_o invisible_a all_o thing_n say_v he_o be_v create_v by_o he_o and_o for_o he_o thus_o you_o see_v that_o the_o first_o thing_n in_o which_o by_o which_o or_o through_o which_o god_n make_v the_o world_n be_v light_a that_o be_v the_o first_o that_o first_o in_o which_o by_o which_o and_o through_o which_o all_o thing_n be_v make_v by_o that_o selfsame_a must_v they_o be_v rule_v and_o govern_v as_o we_o shall_v see_v anon_o and_o that_o first_o be_v and_o be_v light_a light_a therefore_o as_o it_o appear_v be_v the_o first_o go_v forth_o of_o god_n in_o and_o towards_o the_o creation_n of_o the_o world_n or_o that_o true_a image_n or_o pattern_n of_o himself_o in_o by_z and_o after_o which_o he_o make_v or_o make_v manifest_v the_o world_n and_o himself_o in_o the_o world_n for_o that_o be_v one_o main_a inherent_a property_n or_o intrinse_a nature_n and_o quality_n of_o light_n to_o make_v manifest_a even_o those_o thing_n which_o be_v not_o as_o it_o be_v write_v god_n call_v the_o thing_n that_o be_v as_o if_o they_o be_v not_o and_o the_o thing_n that_o be_v not_o as_o if_o they_o be_v now_o that_o for_o which_o i_o produce_v these_o scripture_n be_v that_o if_o it_o may_v be_v we_o may_v discover_v and_o get_v a_o true_a understanding_n and_o knowledge_n of_o that_o we_o call_v rule_n or_o government_n what_o it_o be_v for_o we_o be_v very_o apt_a to_o mis-understand_a and_o give_v a_o untrue_a interpretation_n not_o only_o of_o other_o man_n word_n but_o our_o own_o also_o let_v we_o therefore_o a_o little_a consider_v by_o the_o thing_n that_o be_v as_o we_o find_v they_o in_o the_o beginning_n it_o be_v say_v as_o be_v before_o quote_v that_o god_n make_v two_o great_a light_n and_z and_o set_v they_o in_o the_o firmament_n of_o the_o heaven_n to_o shine_v upon_o the_o earth_n and_o to_o rule_v in_o the_o day_n and_o in_o the_o night_n now_o what_o the_o nature_n and_o property_n of_o their_o rule_n and_o government_n be_v we_o find_v and_o see_v day_n by_o day_n first_o light_z we_o see_v be_v diffusive_a it_o diffuse_v itself_o throughout_o the_o whole_a circumference_n of_o the_o heaven_n and_o shine_v as_o it_o be_v write_v upon_o the_o earth_n both_o upon_o the_o good_a and_o the_o bad_a upon_o the_o just_a and_o the_o unjust_a it_o give_v so_o much_o of_o itself_o into_o every_o vessel_n as_o it_o be_v capable_a to_o receive_v so_o swallow_v up_o cast_v out_o or_o destroy_v the_o darkness_n and_o the_o death_n second_o it_o be_v very_o attractive_a nothing_o more_o nay_o nothing_o so_o much_o so_o strong_o and_o yet_o so_o sweet_o attract_v as_o the_o light_n do_v

somewhat_o comfort_v for_o i_o may_v not_o by_o any_o mean_n let_v go_v my_o hold_n in_o that_o i_o hope_v also_o that_o as_o the_o enmity_n have_v great_o appear_v and_o make_v manifest_v itself_o
