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

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

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

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

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
