A55677	The Parable of the dove being a review of the late controversie between the blackbirds and the magpies, tending to an amicable accommodation of all the differences which at present disturb the feather'd nations.		1691 (1691)	Wing P322; ESTC R7351	5,103	6

the_o parable_n of_o the_o dove_n be_v a_o review_n of_o the_o late_a controversy_n between_o the_o blackbird_n and_o the_o magpie_n tend_v to_o a_o amicable_a accommodation_n of_o all_o the_o difference_n which_o at_o present_a disturb_v the_o feather_a nation_n i_o will_v rail_v at_o parable_n because_o i_o be_o write_v one_o myself_o and_o how_o silly_a soever_o it_o be_v like_a to_o be_v it_o can_v be_v worse_a than_o other_o thing_n which_o have_v extreme_o please_v some_o sort_n of_o people_n this_n i_o be_o sure_a of_o that_o with_o fable_n or_o without_o they_o when_o the_o world_n be_v weary_a of_o quarrel_v it_o will_v be_v quiet_a in_o its_o own_o defence_n whether_o this_o be_v the_o lucky_a time_n or_o no_o i_o can_v tell_v but_o be_o resolve_v rather_o to_o venture_v a_o break_a head_n of_o both_o side_n to_o make_v my_o countryman_n friend_n than_o either_o bet_v on_o either_o side_n for_o the_o sake_n of_o a_o little_a nasty_a profit_n or_o stand_v still_o and_o laugh_v at_o both_o while_o they_o knock_v out_o one_o another_o brain_n and_o save_v their_o enemy_n the_o labour_n it_o be_v no_o news_n to_o those_o who_o have_v consult_v the_o new_a
