A50375	An epitomy of English history wherein arbitrary government is display'd to the life, in the illegal transactions of the late times under the tyrannick usurpation of Oliver Cromwell; being a paralell to the four years reign of the late King James, whose government was popery, slavery, and arbitrary power, but now happily delivered by the instrumental means of King William & Queen Mary. Illustrated with copper plates. By Tho. May Esq; a late Member of Parliament.; Arbitrary government displayed to the life.	May, Thomas, ca. 1645-1718.	1690 (1690)	Wing M1416E; ESTC R202900	143,325	210

part_n of_o my_o draught_n of_o arbitrary_a government_n under_o the_o power_n and_o tyranny_n of_o that_o notorious_a usurper_n oliver_n i_o shall_v now_o proceed_v to_o the_o second_o act_n of_o
