A89061	Mercuries message defended, against the vain, foolish, simple, and absurd cavils of Thomas Herbert a ridiculous ballad-maker. Wherein, his witlesse answers are clearly confuted, himselfe found guilty of hypocrisie, catcht broaching of popery, condemned by his owne words, and here and there for his impudent saucinesse jerkt with the rod of correction, to teach him more manners when he writes again. By the author of the said Mercuries message.	Taylor, John, 1580-1653.	1641 (1641)	Wing M1747; Thomason E160_13; ESTC R22299	13,081	24

to_o scoff_n and_o jeer_v at_o this_o must_v needs_o spring_v from_o a_o horrible_a root_n of_o envy_n and_o maliciousness_n answ_n answ_n but_o if_o sir_n thomas_n wiseacre_n can_v make_v this_o
