A70558	A brief account concerning several of the agents of New-England, their negotiation at the Court of England with some remarks on the new charter granted to the colony of Massachusets shewing that all things duely considered, greater priviledges than what are therein contained, could not at this time rationally be expected by the people there.	Mather, Increase, 1639-1723.	1691 (1691)	Wing M1184; ESTC R3613	15,615	26
