A86124	The ansvver of Edward Hayward, clerk of the survey at Chatham, (meerly for his own vindication) to a most abusive and scandalous pamphlet, lately published and dispersed by George Kendall, M.A. (as he stiles himself) and clerk of the survey at Deptford, and Woolwich.	Hayward, Edward, 17th cent.	1656 (1656)	Wing H1228; Thomason E889_7; ESTC R206502	5,168	15

many_o man_n yet_o doubt_v he_o to_o be_v yea_o i_o question_v not_o the_o justice_n of_o the_o state_n so_o far_o as_o to_o vindicate_v i_o from_o his_o close_a insinuation_n till_o matter_n of_o
