A44655	A letter to Mr. Samuel Johnson occasioned by a scurrilous pamphlet, intituled, Animadversions on Mr. Johnson's Answer to Jovian in three letters to a country-friend : at the end of which is reprinted the preface before the History of Edward and Richard the Second, to the end every thing may appear clearly to the reader, how little of that preface has been answered / both written by the Honourable Sir Robert Howard.	Howard, Robert, Sir, 1626-1698.	1692 (1692)	Wing H3000; ESTC R4333	26,604	76

it_o over_o they_o by_o any_o other_o power_n that_o be_v a_o political_a not_o a_o regal_a power_n let_v king_n therefore_o temper_v their_o bracton_n power_n by_o the_o law_n which_o be_v the_o
