A34948	A serious expostulation with that party in Scotland, commonly known by the name of Whigs wherein is modestly and plainly laid open the inconsistency of their practices I. With the safety of humane society, II. With the nature of the Christian religion, III. Their two covenants are historically related, and prov'd to be no sufficient warrant for what they do, IV. Their new doctrine of a pretended forfeiture, is prov'd to be groundless.	Craufurd, James, 17th cent.	1682 (1682)	Wing C6865; ESTC R4965	39,666	64

world_n may_v easy_o seign_v a_o warrant_n from_o god_n and_o so_o set_v up_o in_o opposition_n to_o authority_n that_o very_a resolution_n of_o adhere_v to_o their_o covenant_n which_o make_v they_o

covenant_n be_v a_o new_a thing_n never_o hear_v of_o by_o his_o majesty_n be_v royal_a ancestor_n who_o do_v all_o take_v a_o oath_n at_o their_o instalment_n and_o as_o his_o title_n to_o the_o
