A87135	Politicaster or, a comical discourse, in answer unto Mr. Wren's book, intituled, Monarchy asserted, against Mr. Harrington's Oceana. / By J.H.	Harrington, James, 1611-1677.	1659 (1659)	Wing H818A; Thomason E2112_2; ESTC R212655	19,838	56

by_o king_n lord_n and_o commons_o which_o be_v the_o more_o modern_a be_v so_o plain_a that_o you_o be_v put_v unto_o a_o shift_n who_o can_v say_v no_o more_o than_o that_o i_o make_v janotti_n
