A81226	A Venice looking-glasse: or, A letter vvritten very lately from London to Rome, by a Venetian Clarissimo to Cardinal Barberino, protector of the English nation, touching these present distempers. Wherein, as in a true mirrour, England may behold her owne spots, wherein she may see, and fore-see, her follies pass'd, her present danger, and furture destruction. Faithfully rendred out of the Italian into English.	J. B. C.	1648 (1648)	Wing C79A; Thomason E525_19; ESTC R205654	17,303	25

cry_v out_o in_o the_o pulpit_n there_o be_v a_o great_a work_n to_o be_v do_v upon_o earth_n for_o the_o reform_v all_o mankind_n and_o they_o be_v appoint_v by_o heaven_n to_o be_v the_o chief_a

they_o have_v often_o rise_v up_o in_o a_o confusion_n without_o adjournment_n they_o have_v two_o speaker_n at_o once_o they_o have_v most_o perjurious_o and_o beyond_o all_o imagination_n betray_v

the_o name_n of_o parliament_n by_o a_o local_a puntillio_n only_o because_o they_o never_o stir_v from_o the_o place_n where_o they_o have_v be_v keep_v together_o by_o mere_a force_n i_o find_v
