A85232	A Plain favlt in plain-English. And the same in Doctor Fearne: who (upon different grounds) build one error; but this is the best of it, that their difference destroyes the same error, which they would build upon the ruine of Parliaments.	Evelyn, John, 1620-1706.; Bowles, Edward, 1613-1662.	1643 (1643)	Wing F798; Thomason E88_30; ESTC R22343	3,825	8

less_o profit_n it_o be_v for_o they_o to_o leave_v their_o own_o business_n and_o family_n i_o say_v not_o recreation_n to_o work_v and_o toil_n in_o public_a business_n yea_o to_o be_v often_o put_v
