A85519	The grand concernments of England ensured: viz. liberty of conscience, extirpation of popery, defence of property, easing of taxes, advance of trade, soveraign powers of Parliaments, reformation of religion, laws and liberties, indempnity, settlement, by a constant succession of free Parliaments, the only possible expedient to preserve us from ruine or slavery. The objections, answered; but more largely, that of a senate. With a sad expostulation, and some smart rebukes to the Army.		1659 (1659)	Wing G1492; Thomason E1001_6; ESTC R204729	70,399	77

any_o orderly_a debate_n to_o which_o i_o return_v that_o such_o a_o number_n as_o can_v understand_v that_o can_v make_v out_o to_o one_o another_o the_o benefit_n of_o mankind_n be_v too_o many_o to_o make_v good_a the_o interest_n of_o mankind_n in_o away_o of_o reason_n and_o if_o in_o any_o particular_a they_o hit_v upon_o it_o it_o be_v more_o by_o hap_n then_o any_o good_a cunning_n

interest_n of_o the_o whole_a nation_n that_o do_v not_o call_v for_o so_o great_a number_n to_o keep_v it_o on_o foot_n therefore_o those_o that_o may_v be_v well_o enough_o spare_v let_v they_o

the_o light_n of_o england_n or_o why_o the_o light_n of_o mankind_n must_v be_v separate_v from_o the_o interest_n of_o mankind_n be_v very_o dark_a to_o i_o if_o the_o one_o body_n be_v all_o eye_n

that_o leave_v no_o man_n great_a cause_n to_o except_v against_o their_o number_n why_o 500_o or_o thereabouts_o be_v equal_o distribute_v for_o election_n according_a to_o the_o interest_n of_o

reason_n i_o be_o bind_v to_o think_v best_a of_o a_o single_a assembly_n but_o stay_v the_o senate_n be_v the_o light_n reason_n or_o learning_n of_o mankind_n and_o how_o easy_a it_o be_v for_o

in_o effect_n the_o senate_n will_v not_o be_v honest_a if_o they_o can_v choose_v and_o a_o king_n may_v not_o do_v much_o amiss_o with_o these_o two_o counsel_n well_o what_o will_v the_o sense_n

leave_v the_o reader_n to_o a_o free_a judgement_n once_o more_o the_o 300_o will_v seem_v wise_a and_o in_o their_o grave_a judgement_n propound_v to_o the_o 1050_o to_o settle_v some_o sectary_n as_o we_o call_v they_o lord_n archon_n and_o sole_a legislator_n of_o england_n and_o signify_v to_o they_o that_o it_o be_v the_o national_a interest_n so_o to_o do_v without_o debate_v the_o
