Issue 3: Regicide
"They tell us that the Law of nature justifies any man to defend himself, even against the King in Person: let them shew us then why the same Law, may not justify much more a State or whole people, to do justice upon him, against whom each private man may lawfully defend himself; seeing all kind of justice done, is a defense to good men, as well as a punishment to bad; and justice done upon a Tyrant is no more but the necessary self-defense of a whole Commonwealth."

Issue 2: Love & Sex
"To whom the Angel, with a smile that glowed
Celestial rosy red, Love's proper hue,
Answered. Let it suffice thee that thou knowest
Us happy, and without love no happiness.
Whatever pure thou in the body enjoyest,
(And pure thou wert created) we enjoy
In eminence; and obstacle find none
Of membrane, joint, or limb, exclusive bars;
Easier than air with air, if Spirits embrace,
Total they mix, union of pure with pure
Desiring, nor restrained conveyance need,
As flesh to mix with flesh, or soul with soul."-- Paradise Lost, John Milton

Issue 1: "Awake, Arise"
"Or in this abject posture have ye sworn
To adore the Conquerour? who now beholds
Cherub and Seraph rolling in the Flood
With scattered Arms and Ensigns, till anon
His swift pursuers from Heaven Gates discern
The advantage, and descending tread us down
Thus drooping, or with linked Thunderbolts
Transfix us to the bottom of this Gulf.
Awake, arise, or be for ever fallen." -- Paradise Lost, John Milton
