A81579	The declaration, vindication, and protestation, of Edward Dobson, citizen, and stationer, of London. VVherein is shewed the many illegall and unjust imprisonments which the said stationer hath suffered, through the malicious and envious informations of Brownists, Anabaptists, Antinomians, and other seditious sectaries: contrary to the lawes of God, the liberty of the subject, and the lawes of the land, all which have been protested, and covenanted to be maintained with lives and fortunes. Together with the manner of his coming from Worcester to Northampton, and of his barbarous usage there, by the governour and others, contrary to the declaration published in the names of the two kingdomes, upon the sincerity of which he did depend. Also a relation of his illegall imprisonment upon a pretended suspition of bringing a saw to the Irish Lords (as is most scandalously published) for their escape out of the Tower.	Dobson, Edward, 17th cent.	1644 (1644)	Wing D1751; Thomason E257_8; ESTC R212485	8,262	8

impiety_n by_o murder_v i_o in_o my_o reputation_n and_o scandalize_a i_o in_o their_o libel_n give_v i_o a_o nickname_n more_o befit_v the_o inventor_n but_o it_o it_o be_v not_o strange_a that_o they_o slander_v i_o when_o they_o stick_v not_o to_o slander_v the_o footstep_n of_o god_n anoint_v their_o king_n neither_o be_v it_o any_o marvel_n that_o they_o rob_v i_o when_o they_o fear_v

they_o may_v rob_v he_o and_o thus_o they_o deal_v with_o man_n servant_n compel_v they_o by_o their_o unconscionable_a oath_n judas_n like_v to_o betray_v their_o master_n make_v they_o take_v oath_n to_o discover_v their_o master_n estate_n be_v contrary_a to_o the_o covenant_n of_o their_o indenture_n of_o keep_v their_o master_n secret_n thus_o themselves_o be_v treacherous_a false_a and_o perfidious_a to_o their_o king_n will_v have_v servant_n be_v so_o to_o their_o master_n now_o those_o that_o refuse_v their_o illegal_a oath_n and_o covenant_n they_o imprison_v as_o they_o have_v
