A31759	The Charge of a Tory plot maintain'd in a dialogue between the Observator, Heraclitus, and an inferior clergy-man at the Towzer-Tavern : wherein the first discourse publish'd under that title is vindicated from the trifling animadversions of the Observator, and the accusation justified / by the same author.		1682 (1682)	Wing C2052; ESTC R20652	20,385	42

time_n come_v short_a of_o money_n for_o the_o great_a number_n of_o the_o elector_n who_o be_v they_o that_o send_v they_o do_v common_o as_o most_o other_o man_n do_v love_v their_o money_n so_o
