A91886	A short discourse between monarchical and aristocratical government. Or a sober perswasive of all true-hearted Englishmen, to a willing conjunction with the Parliament of England in setting up the government of a common-wealth. By a true Englishman, and well-wisher to the good of this nation.	Robinson, Henry, 1605?-1664?	1649 (1649)	Wing R1678; Thomason E575_31	16,476	20

perfect_a and_o natural_a heir_n to_o his_o father_n quarrel_n and_o design_n as_o to_o his_o crown_n and_o dignity_n but_o the_o great_a thing_n to_o be_v wonder_v at_o be_v that_o any_o which_o
