Parliament and the Crown in English rights and liberties
Brutus argues that true undoing of the nation comes only through Parliament and warns against Crown encroachment without representative consent. The piece praises Cromwell's limits on power, notes the Humble Petition and Advice, and cites postulations on governance. A reader letter discusses an odd Oxfordshire building and criticizes church-bell and grave-stone removals, urging bishops to intervene. The letter on police notes ends with a remark on magistrates and city notes.
