With some brief observations of that worthy author Sir Walter Rawley, touching the same. All humbly presented to His Majesty, and both Houses of Parliament. By a true lover of His Majesty, and native country. Licensed by Roger L'estrange.; Englands glory.	Carter, W.

the_o rule_n of_o the_o law_n provide_v for_o they_o for_o which_o there_o be_v law_n and_o new_a law_n where_o they_o be_v want_v nevertheless_o hold_v not_o in_o all_o point_n for_o instance_n the_o
