A49117	The historian vnmask'd, or, Some reflections on the late History of passive obedience wherein the doctrine of passive-obedience and non-resistance is truly stated and asserted / by one of those divines, whom the historian hath reflected upon in that book ; and late author of the resolutions of several queries, concerning submission to the present government : as also of an answer to all the popular objections, against the taking the oath of allegiance to their present majesties.	Long, Thomas, 1621-1707.	1689 (1689)	Wing L2969; ESTC R9209	38,808	69

thus_o in_o that_o famous_a book_n p._n 21._o wherein_n have_v urge_v all_o the_o argument_n for_o nonresistance_n he_o can_v think_v of_o he_o admonish_v his_o reader_n of_o something_o else_o as_o
