A79850	Hyporites [sic] unmasked, or, The hypocrisie of the new usurpers discovered, and their often saying, God set it on their hearts; in a few questions propounded to the inferiour officers and souldiers of the Army, whom some do now indeavour to seduce from their obedience to their masters the Parliament. Wherein the Parliament, and their General Monck are vindicated, from the aspersions cast upon them by their enemies: in which General Monck is proved to have been alwaies true to his trust, and that he hath no design to set up the King or his interest. Propounded by a lover of his countrey, and a sufferer for the good old cause.	Clarges, Thomas, Sir, d. 1695.	1674 (1674)	Wing C4429A; Thomason E1005_18	5,424	8
