A34348	Considerations offered to all the corporations of England well worth their observation, containing seasonable advice to them in their future elections of burgesses to serve in Parliament, merely in relation to, and so far forth only as such elections affect trade, and are, as will appear hereby, the main cause of its present great decay.		1681 (1681)	Wing C5912; ESTC R25353	8,626	8
