A49117	The historian vnmask'd, or, Some reflections on the late History of passive obedience wherein the doctrine of passive-obedience and non-resistance is truly stated and asserted / by one of those divines, whom the historian hath reflected upon in that book ; and late author of the resolutions of several queries, concerning submission to the present government : as also of an answer to all the popular objections, against the taking the oath of allegiance to their present majesties.	Long, Thomas, 1621-1707.	1689 (1689)	Wing L2969; ESTC R9209	38,808	69

absolve_v we_o from_o our_o oath_n and_o that_o no_o faith_n be_v to_o be_v keep_v with_o heretic_n and_o also_o how_o meritorious_a a_o work_n it_o will_v be_v to_o root_v that_o pestilential_a
