A81579	The declaration, vindication, and protestation, of Edward Dobson, citizen, and stationer, of London. VVherein is shewed the many illegall and unjust imprisonments which the said stationer hath suffered, through the malicious and envious informations of Brownists, Anabaptists, Antinomians, and other seditious sectaries: contrary to the lawes of God, the liberty of the subject, and the lawes of the land, all which have been protested, and covenanted to be maintained with lives and fortunes. Together with the manner of his coming from Worcester to Northampton, and of his barbarous usage there, by the governour and others, contrary to the declaration published in the names of the two kingdomes, upon the sincerity of which he did depend. Also a relation of his illegall imprisonment upon a pretended suspition of bringing a saw to the Irish Lords (as is most scandalously published) for their escape out of the Tower.	Dobson, Edward, 17th cent.	1644 (1644)	Wing D1751; Thomason E257_8; ESTC R212485	8,262	8

a_o strength_n as_o the_o king_n shall_v not_o be_v able_a to_o resist_v he_o and_o to_o force_v and_o compel_v the_o king_n to_o govern_v otherwise_o then_o according_a to_o his_o own_o royal_a
