A66685	The law of freedom in a platform: or, True magistracy restored Humbly presented to Oliver Cromwel, General of the Common-wealths army in England. And to all English-men my brethren whether in church-fellowship, or not in church-fellowship, both sorts walking as they conceive according to the order of the Gospel: and from them to all the nations in the world. Wherein is declared, what is kingly government, and what is Commonwealths government. By Jerrard Winstanley.	Winstanley, Gerrard, b. 1609.	1652 (1652)	Wing W3045A; ESTC R220031	79,685	104

and_o prerogative_n be_v to_o be_v in_o the_o eye_n of_o the_o law_n maker_n the_o oppress_a commoner_n can_v never_o enjoy_v commonwealth_n freedom_n thereby_o yet_o by_o the_o wisdom_n courage_n faithfulness_n and_o industry_n of_o some_o parliament_n man_n the_o commoner_n have_v receive_v here_o a_o line_n and_o there_o a_o line_n of_o freedom_n insert_v into_o their_o law_n as_o those_o

up_o the_o poor_a oppress_a commoner_n have_v no_o relief_n but_o the_o power_n of_o lord_n of_o manor_n withhold_v the_o free_a use_n of_o the_o common_a land_n from_o they_o remain_v still_o for_o
