A58675	Ansvver to John Lyons very weak defence of his most wicked, innovated oppression. Or The exchequer gallon proved to be a standard only for dry things Or, A further manifestation, that the Troy weight, and the wine measures, are to standards of England for weights and measures. Written in defence of the practice of the present and all former commissioners of excise, who have, from the beginning of the laws of excise, made use of three several gallons in gaugeing things excisable, as the wine gallon, ale gallon, and the corn gallon. Written by S. S. philomathematicus.	S. S.	1659 (1659)	Wing S141A; ESTC R219797	6,655	11
