A96687	New-Englands salamander, discovered by an irreligious and scornefull pamphlet, called New-Englands Jonas cast up at London, &c. Owned by Major Iohn Childe, but not probable to be written by him. Or, A satisfactory answer to many aspersions cast upon New-England therein. Wherein our government there is shewed to bee legall and not arbitrary, being as neere the law of England as our condition will permit. Together with a briefe reply to what is written in answer to certaine passages in a late booke called Hypocrisie unmasked. / By Edw. Winslow.	Winslow, Edward, 1595-1655.	1647 (1647)	Wing W3038; Thomason E390_8; ESTC R201531	24,205	33

indeed_o this_o i_o have_v say_v in_o answer_n to_o his_o cavil_n that_o if_o the_o parliament_n of_o england_n shall_v impose_v lawe●_n upon_o we_o have_v no_o burgess_n in_o their_o house_n of_o

whatsoever_o they_o conceive_v may_v be_v hurtful_a to_o they_o but_o this_o liberty_n we_o be_v not_o capable_a of_o by_o reason_n of_o distance_n and_o therefore_o etc._n etc._n and_o thus_o much_o for_o answer_v to_o that_o point_n which_o will_v satisfy_v any_o equal_a mind_a man_n but_o be_v nothing_o to_o he_o three_o he_o charge_v our_o government_n to_o be_v arbitrary_a answ_n i_o show_v

it_o be_v more_o their_o own_o fault_n then_o otherwise_o ofttimes_o who_o will_v not_o take_v up_o their_o freedom_n lest_o they_o shall_v be_v send_v on_o these_o service●_n as_o our_o salamander_n
