A86917	A treatise of monarchie, containing two parts: 1. concerning monarchy in generall. 2. concerning this particular monarchy. Wherein all the maine questions occurrent in both, are stated, disputed, and determined: and in the close, the contention now in being, is moderately debated, and the readiest meanes of reconcilement proposed. Done by an earnest desirer of his countries peace.	Hunton, Philip, 1604?-1682.	1643 (1643)	Wing H3781; Thomason E103_15; ESTC R5640	60,985	86

all_o these_o be_v very_o distinguishable_a case_n and_o will_v be_v of_o use_n either_o in_o this_o or_o the_o ensue_a dispute_n assert_v 1_o to_o the_o question_n i_o say_v first_o positive_a
