A76367	Bellamius enervatus: or, A full answer to a book entitled A plea for the commonalty of London. Which is as the authour Mr. Bellamy cals it; a vindication of their rights (which have been long withholden from them) in the choyce of sundry city officers. As also a iustification of the powerent the Court of Common-Counsell in the making of acts, or by-laws, for the good and profit of the citizens, notwithstanding the negative voyces of the Lord Major, and aldermen. / Refuted by Irenæus Lysimachus:.	Lysimachus, Irenaeus.	1645 (1645)	Wing B1819; Thomason E281_8; ESTC R200040	31,464	46
