A90392	The fundamental right, safety and liberty of the people (which is radically in themselves, derivatively in the Parliament, their substitutes or representatives) briefly asserted. Wherein is discovered the great good or harm which may accrue unto the people by Parliaments, according to their different temperature and motions. Together with some proposals conducing towards an equal and just settlement of the distracted state of this nation. As likewise a touch at some especial properties of a supream good governor or governors. / By Isaac Penington (junior) Esq; The safety of the people is the supream, most natural and most righteous law, being both the most proper end and most adequate rule of government.	Penington, Isaac, 1616-1679.	1651 (1651)	Wing P1169; Thomason E629_2	39,601	54

selfish_a and_o corrupt_a interest_n whereby_o the_o people_n come_v to_o feel_v burden_n under_o they_o and_o find_v want_n of_o fence_n to_o guard_v they_o from_o the_o insolence_n and_o assault_n
