A25721	An appendix to the queries upon the 25th of Hen. VIII, Cap. 21 containing some further considerations in behalf of the late illegally ejected officers of the Royal Hospital of St. Thomas Southwark, chiefly grounded upon certain passages in the grant of King Edward VI to the mayor and commonalty of the city of London : wherein the royal perogative as to the visitation and regulation of that and other hospitals is vindicated and asserted : and the late regulations in the time of King Charles II are more particularly consider'd and defended.		1690 (1690)	Wing A3576; ESTC R25889	16,253	17

of_o h._n 8._o though_o this_o be_v but_o the_o revival_n and_o recognition_n of_o a_o ancient_a right_n antecedent_n to_o any_o of_o the_o popish_a usurpation_n by_o the_o know_a law_n and_o usage_n
