A26069	The royal apology, or, An answer to the rebels plea wherein the most noted anti-monarchial tenents, first, published by Doleman the Jesuite, to promote a bill of exclusion against King James, secondly, practised by Bradshaw and the regicides in the actual murder of King Charles the 1st, thirdly, republished by Sidney and the associators to depose and murder His present Majesty, are distinctly consider'd : with a parallel between Doleman, Bradshaw, Sidney and other of the true-Protestant party.

in_o one_o single_a person_n yet_o the_o monarch_n be_v so_o limit_v in_o the_o execution_n of_o that_o power_n that_o he_o can_v legal_o perform_v several_a act_n of_o sovereignty_n without_o the_o
