A90841	The poore vvise-mans admonition unto all the plaine people of London, and the neighbor-places. To strengthen them in the houre of temptation, that they may be happy and exemplary instruments to all other people, in preserving the city, Parliament, and whole nation, from imminent and sudden destruction.

popish_a lord_n and_o all_o oppresser_n make_v a_o most_o bloody_a war_n against_o they_o subdue_v they_o by_o a_o faithful_a army_n and_o now_o act_n tolerate_v and_o justify_v the_o same_o
