A82107	A declaration of many thousand well-affected persons, inhabitants in and about the cities of London and Westminster, expressing their adherence to this present Parliament; as also their sense of a Free Parliament, so much cried up by the cavaliers and others, that know not what it is; but go along in company with them; together with divers other expostulatory particulars.		1660 (1660)	Wing D613; Thomason 669.f.23[5]; ESTC R211491	3,730	1

a_o declaration_n of_o many_o thousand_o well-affected_a person_n inhabitant_n in_o and_o about_o the_o city_n of_o london_n and_o westminster_n express_v their_o adherence_n to_o this_o present_a

with_o they_o together_o with_o divers_a other_o expostulatory_a particular_n we_o shall_v wonder_v at_o the_o late_a and_o still_o brutish_a looseness_n of_o man_n tongue_n and_o pen_n do_v we_o
