A44208	Densell Hollis Esquire, his worthy and learned speech in Parliament on Thnrfeday [sic] the thirtieth of December 1641 vpon the reading of the petition and protestation of the twelve bishoppes, for which they were accused of high treason, and committed to the Tower : wherein is discovered the danger of this protestation, that it is both against the King and his royall prerogatives, the priviledges of Parliaments, the liberties of the subject, and the subvertion of the fundamental lawes of this kingdome.	Holles, Denzil Holles, Baron, 1599-1680.	1641 (1641)	Wing H2482; ESTC R5542	2,702	10
