A peece of serious observation, wherein the secrets of every party, as they stand in a probability of complyance, or opposition to His Majcsty [sic], are fully discovered.		1648 (1648)	Wing G1043; Thomason E441_10; ESTC R202219; ESTC R204897	24,027	30

with_o a_o army_n it_o must_v needs_o be_v that_o a_o engage_v against_o they_o can_v be_v carry_v on_o to_o a_o conquest_n but_o through_o a_o sea_n of_o blood_n and_o a_o general_a devastation_n whereas_o a_o union_n betwixt_o they_o and_o his_o majesty_n contract_v upon_o moderate_a just_a and_o equitable_a ground_n in_o relation_n to_o his_o majesty_n interest_n and_o due_a right_n and_o
