A69620	The Jesuite countermin'd. Or, An account of a new plot carrying on by the Jesuites: manifested by their present endeavours (under all shapes) to raise commotions in the land, by aspersing his Sacred Majesties counsels and actions. Also the reasonableness of modesty in subjects in judging the concerns of their prince.	Br., J.; Bradshaw, John, 1602-1659, attributed name.	1679 (1679)	Wing B4087; ESTC R19773	29,228	40

man_n it_o be_v sufficient_a in_o the_o eye_n of_o the_o vulgar_a who_o measure_v all_o accomplishment_n by_o their_o own_o and_o think_v he_o a_o very_a valuable_a man_n who_o exceed_v they_o in_o such_o ordinary_a trivial_a matter_n though_o they_o slight_a and_o contemn_v person_n of_o high_a endowment_n because_o they_o be_v above_o their_o narrow_a apprehension_n but_o the_o other_o they_o
