A89259	Protection proclaimed (through the loving kindness of God in the present government) to the three nations of England, Scotland, and Ireland: wherein the government established, in the Lord Protector and his council, is proved to be of divine institution; and the great stumbling-block of thousands of Christians (in regard of his title) removed; proving it to be none other than what hath been given to those whom God hath made instrumental for his peoples deliverance of old. / Written to satisfie unsatisfied consciences, by John Moore, a well-wisher to the peace of our English Jerusalem.

that_o spiritual_a freedom_n which_o we_o now_o enjoy_v i_o dare_v be_v bold_a that_o if_o the_o late_a king_n have_v proclaim_v such_o liberty_n to_o his_o subject_n he_o have_v be_v alive_a to_o this_o day_n except_o sickness_n have_v cut_v he_o off_o and_o that_o the_o people_n of_o god_n in_o england_n former_o call_v by_o the_o name_n of_o puritan_n to_o who_o such_o freedom_n be_v
