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

for_o the_o committee_n as_o it_o be_v well_o know_v do_v not_o sit_v there_o to_o hear_v disputation_n and_o i_o believe_v if_o he_o shall_v have_v show_v himself_o so_o vain_a and_o light_a as_o
