A67913	The free-born English mans plea for justice: or, A cry against post-fact laws. Being a survey of the controversies touching the late purchased titles through the true perspective of justice. By William Jackson, one who hath lived to see the famine of justice removed, and hopes to see it continue as plentifully amongst us; as food in Samaria; after the flight of these Assirians: 2 Kings, 7.	Jackson, William, 1636 or 7-1680.	1660 (1660)	Wing J93; ESTC R207910	14,659	20

approbation_n of_o the_o king_n therefore_o in_o this_o respect_n their_o plea_n for_o such_o a_o title_n be_v now_o full_o void_a that_o parliament_n after_o a_o double_a resurrection_n be_v quite_o

have_v such_o true_a title_n to_o their_o possession_n as_o the_o law_n of_o the_o land_n shall_v justify_v we_o can_v think_v such_o injustice_n can_v be_v permit_v by_o his_o majesty_n as_o to_o
