A67624	An answer to certain observations of W. Bridges, concerning the present warre against His Majestie whereby hee pretends to justifie it against that hexapla of considerations, viz. theologicall, historicall, legall, criticall, melancholy, and foolish : wherein, as he saith, it is look't upon by the squint-eyed multitude.	Warmstry, Thomas, 1610-1665.	1643 (1643)	Wing W879; ESTC R38489	56,563	74

a_o mere_a jeer_n of_o his_o majesty_n but_o they_o have_v best_o take_v heed_n how_o they_o mock_v at_o god_n substitute_n this_o i_o hope_v may_v serve_v for_o your_o four_o proposition_n your_o

have_v the_o subject_n have_v his_o eye_n about_o he_o that_o he_o may_v look_v and_o see_v and_o so_o will_v i_o it_o be_v my_o prayer_n unto_o god_n that_o he_o will_v open_v the_o eye_n of_o the_o

the_o subject_n look_v downward_o too_o to_o see_v who_o the_o obedience_n to_o the_o superior_n command_n do_v either_o hurt_n or_o hinder_v i_o be_o afraid_a there_o have_v be_v too_o much_o look_v

yet_o i_o will_v have_v they_o to_o look_v downward_o too_o in_o a_o good_a sense_n and_o first_o in_o humility_n with_o the_o publican_n and_o second_o in_o christian_a charity_n with_o the_o good_a
