A29209 The serpent salve, or, A remedie for the biting of an aspe wherein the observators grounds are discussed and plainly discovered to be unsound, seditious, not warranted by the laws of God, of nature, or of nations, and most repugnant to the known laws and customs of this realm : for the reducing of such of His Majesties well-meaning subjects into the right way who have been mis-led by that ignis fatuus. Bramhall, John, 1594-1663. 1643 (1643) Wing B4236; ESTC R12620 148,697 268

of_o his_o work_n but_o of_o no_o great_a moment_n as_o this_o that_o there_o be_v a_o disparity_n between_o natural_a father_n lord_n head_n etc._n etc._n and_o political_a most_o true_a though_o

shall_v speak_v more_o full_o but_o the_o main_a difference_n which_o may_v come_v near_o the_o question_n be_v this_o that_o the_o power_n which_o be_v in_o a_o father_n lord_n etc._n etc._n

a_o father_n of_o a_o family_n do_v disappear_v in_o the_o presence_n of_o the_o father_n of_o a_o country_n as_o lesser_a star_n do_v at_o the_o rise_n of_o the_o sun_n but_o his_o main_a ground_n

of_o a_o entire_a collective_a body_n so_o it_o seem_v his_o majesty_n be_v the_o king_n of_o peter_n and_o andrew_z not_o of_o england_n nor_o yet_o so_o much_o as_o of_o a_o whole_a town_n or_o
