A94168 The false brother, or, A new map of Scotland, drawn by an English pencil; being a short history of the political and civil transactions between these two nations since their first friendship: wherein the many secret designs, and dangerous aspects and influences of that nation on England are discovered; with the juglings of their commissioners with the late King, Parliament, and city. The grounds of the entrance of our army into Scotland cleared, from their own principles and actings; their main pleas impleaded, and answered. Humbly presented to the Councel of State. Sydenham, Cuthbert, 1622-1654. 1651 (1651) Wing S6294; Thomason E620_13; ESTC R203681 46,712 64

this_o while_n in_o action_n and_o yet_o in_o the_o eye_n and_o heart_n of_o the_o people_n for_o their_o rare_a service_n and_o that_o their_o spirit_n will_v fain_o be_v at_o the_o main_a person_n
