A89520	An argument or, debate in law: of the great question concerning the militia; as it is now settled by ordinance of both the Houses of Parliament. By which, it is endeavoured, to prove the legalitie of it, and to make it warrantable by the fundamentall laws of the land. In which, answer is also given to all objections that do arise, either directly, or collaterally concerning the same. All which is referred to the judicious reader. by J.M. C.L.	Marsh, John, 1612-1657.; Milton, John, 1608-1674, attributed name.	1642 (1642)	Wing M575; Thomason E119_13; ESTC R18112	46,929	48
