A93406	The picture of a new courtier drawn in conference, between, [brace] Mr. Timeserver, and Mr. Plain-heart. In which is discovered the abhominable practises and horrid hypocrisies of the Usurper, and his time-serving parasites. In which a Protector having been in part unvailed, may see himself discovered by I.S. a lover of Englands dear bought freedomes.	I. S.	1656 (1656)	Wing S42; Thomason E875_6; ESTC R206568	14,398	16

resolve_v i_o this_o question_n whether_o the_o know_a or_o good_a law_n of_o england_n will_v not_o justify_v his_o highness_n in_o assume_v the_o government_n and_o in_o the_o thing_n he_o have_v do_v for_o the_o maintain_n of_o the_o same_o plain_a sir_n you_o may_v have_v a_o answer_n to_o this_o question_n and_o full_o satisfy_v yourself_o in_o four_o magistracy_n four_o which_o act_v
