A76083	A just defence of John Bastwick. Doctor in Phisicke, against the calumnies of John Lilburne Leiutenant [sic] Colonell and his false accusations, vvritten in way of a reply to a letter of Master Vicars: in which he desires to be satisfied concerning that reproch. In which reply, there is not onely the vindication of the honour of the Parliament, but also that which is of publike concernment, and behooves all well affected subjects to looke into. Printed and published with license according to order.	Bastwick, John, 1593-1654.; Vicars, John, 1579 or 80-1652.	1645 (1645)	Wing B1065; Thomason E265_2; ESTC R212430	39,689	39

shall_v see_v such_o a_o alteration_n in_o a_o little_a time_n that_o the_o noble_n and_o pear_n of_o the_o kingdom_n and_o all_o the_o gentry_n of_o the_o same_o the_o flower_n and_o honour_n of_o

the_o authority_n into_o their_o own_o hand_n for_o lieutenant-colonel_n lilburne_n have_v plain_o teach_v his_o disciple_n that_o the_o power_n that_o now_o reside_v in_o the_o parliament_n be_v

the_o parliament_n and_o teach_v they_o their_o duty_n and_o affirm_v that_o the_o power_n be_v the_o people_n birthright_n and_o that_o they_o have_v but_o entrust_v they_o with_o it_o so_o that_o it_o seem_v if_o they_o shall_v once_o conceive_v that_o the_o parliament_n do_v not_o discharge_v their_o trust_n they_o have_v commit_v unto_o they_o they_o may_v resume_v it_o when_o they_o please_v for_o that_o must_v necessary_o ensue_v from_o his_o premise_n and_o this_o be_v the_o doctrine_n that_o he_o infuse_v to_o all_o his_o follower_n and_o only_o for_o to_o stir_v up_o a_o
