A51196	Great Britain's just complaint for her late measures, present sufferings, and the future miseries she is exposed to with the best, safest, and most effectual way of securing and establishing her religion, government, liberty, and property upon good and lasting foundations : fully and clearly discovered in answer to two late pamphlets concerning the pretended French invasion.	Montgomery, James, Sir, d. 1694.	1692 (1692)	Wing M2504; ESTC R30525	61,135	64
