A67624	An answer to certain observations of W. Bridges, concerning the present warre against His Majestie whereby hee pretends to justifie it against that hexapla of considerations, viz. theologicall, historicall, legall, criticall, melancholy, and foolish : wherein, as he saith, it is look't upon by the squint-eyed multitude.	Warmstry, Thomas, 1610-1665.	1643 (1643)	Wing W879; ESTC R38489	56,563	74

offence_n of_o authority_n be_v whatsoever_o be_v commit_v against_o the_o state_n speak_v like_o a_o politician_n and_o what_o be_v this_o to_o your_o purpose_n the_o great_a offence_n of_o

sure_o much_o less_o be_v to_o be_v give_v to_o the_o subject_a and_o then_o your_o proposition_n be_v not_o much_o for_o your_o turn_n hitherto_o you_o see_v you_o edify_v but_o little_a the_o
