A44305	A survey of the insolent and infamous libel, entituled, Naphtali &c. Part I wherein several things falling in debate in these times are considered, and some doctrines in lex rex and the apolog. narration, called by this author martyrs, are brought to the touch-stone representing the dreadful aspect of Naphtali's principles upon the powers ordained by God, and detecting the horrid consequences in practice necessarily resulting from such principles, if owned and received by people.

which_o cross_v our_o antimonarchist_n who_o assert_v the_o king_n can_v be_v make_v king_n until_o he_o make_v the_o covenant_n with_o the_o people_n and_o that_o he_o get_v the_o crown_n and_o
