A97112	A word in season: to all sorts of wel minded people in this miserably distracted and distempered nation. Plainly manifesting, that the safety and wel-being of the Common-wealth under God, dependeth on the fidelity, and stedfast adherence of the people, to those whom they have chosen, and on their ready compliance with them. Also, that the destruction and bondage of the Common-wealth in generall, and of every good minded man in particular cannot be avoided, if the people, through want of consideration, shall give eare to any other counsels or counsellers. Published by authority for the publique good.	Walwyn, William, 1600-1681.; Sadler, John, 1615-1674, attributed name.	1646 (1646)	Wing W695B; Thomason E1184_3; ESTC R208192	5,231	16
