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

covenant_n as_o if_o they_o be_v but_o straw_n and_o swallow_v the_o breach_n of_o they_o as_o sweet_a morsel_n let_v it_o be_v examine_v and_o weigh_v to_o he_o with_o who_o i_o make_v a_o contract_n

and_o unto_o he_o with_o who_o i_o do_v so_o contract_v and_o so_o he_o have_v thereby_o make_v unto_o he_o as_o good_a a_o assurance_n of_o i_o to_o be_v his_o very_a true_a and_o real_a self_n in_o reference_n to_o those_o thing_n contract_v for_o during_o the_o term_n of_o the_o contract_n as_o possible_o it_o can_v be_v make_v and_o do_v therefore_o if_o we_o have_v make_v and_o enter_v into_o

it_o be_v impossible_a you_o can_v be_v at_o case_n at_o quiet_a at_o rest_n and_o peace_n in_o it_o nor_o can_v it_o give_v full_a and_o perfect_a life_n and_o strength_n to_o the_o whole_a

true_o be_v but_o one_o god_n and_o certain_o god_n be_v but_o one_o and_o in_o one_o or_o unity_n consist_v all_o all_o light_n life_n and_o strength_n so_o you_o see_v the_o divinity_n subsi_v and_o
