A70600	Mr. De Labadie's letter to his daughter, Mrs. Delabadie, nurse to the pretended Prince of Wales written in characters and deciphered by Dr. Wallis ... : which said letter is referred to by Mr. Fuller in his two narratives, and is a plain demonstration of that horrid imposture : with reflections upon it, and a full answer to the material objections, in a late pamphlet entituled, The truest account of Mr. Fullers discovery, &c. / by another hand.	Another hand.; Fuller, William, 1670-1717?; Wallis, John, 1616-1703.; Labadie, James de.; Labadie, Mary Anne de.	1696 (1696)	Wing M2261A; ESTC R10912	12,860	48

follow_v parliament_n have_v all_o the_o reason_n in_o the_o world_n to_o take_v it_o pro_fw-la confesso_fw-la that_o he_o own_a the_o imposture_n and_o therefore_o there_o be_v no_o reason_n that_o
