A95750	A nevv discovery of old pontificall practises for the maintenance of the prelates authority and hierarchy. Evinced by their tyranicall persecution of that reverend, learned, pious, and worthy minister in Jesus Christ, Mr. John Udall, in the raigne of Queene Elizabeth. To give satisfaction to all those that blindely endeavour to uphold episcopall government, that their lordly rule in the purest times of the said queene, is the very same with that they have exercised ever since, even to these times. Together with the prelates devises to make him submit, and to subscribe to submissions of their own contriving and invention. And also King James his letter out of Scotland to the queene, in the behalfe of Mr. Vdall and all other persecuted ministers in her realme.	Udall, John, 1560?-1592.; James I, King of England, 1566-1625.	1643 (1643)	Wing U14; Thomason E87_6; ESTC R212794	52,416	53

though_o i_o be_v not_o by_o profession_n a_o lawyer_n yet_o i_o think_v i_o can_v show_v it_o clear_o by_o these_o reason_n follow_v first_o the_o intent_n of_o the_o lawmaker_n which_o always_o be_v

that_o make_v a_o man_n a_o felon_n by_o that_o statute_n must_v proceed_v from_o a_o malicious_a intent_n against_o her_o highness_n which_o i_o or_o any_o such_o as_o i_o be_o can_v no_o way_n
