A88266	An vnhappy game at Scotch and English. Or A full answer from England to the papers of Scotland. Wherein their Scotch mists and their fogs; their sayings and gaine-sayings; their juglings, their windings and turnings; hither and thither, backwards and forwards, and forwards & backwards again; their breach of Covenant, Articles, & treaty, their King-craft present design, against the two houses of Parliament, & people of England, their plots and intents for usurpation and government over us and our children detected, discovered, and presented to the view of the world, as a dreadfull omen, all-arme, and warning to the kingdome of England.

to_o the_o vote_n and_o desire_n of_o the_o two_o house_n of_o england_n therefore_o we_o judge_v that_o scotland_n will_v much_o more_o claim_v that_o privilege_n in_o he_o be_v in_o scotland_n for_o if_o they_o will_v claim_v it_o out_o of_o their_o bound_n where_o they_o have_v no_o right_n of_o authority_n they_o will_v much_o more_o claim_v it_o within_o the_o bound_n of_o their_o dominion_n
