A83990	Englands remedy of a deadly malady: the vvise-womans saving the city Abel, by delivering the head of Sheba, who was a traitor to the common-wealth of Israel. Which serveth as a pattern, whereby the City of London may be saved, by the wise endeavours of the citizens thereof, like this wise-womans, (which are upon divine record both for our learning and imitation) even by delivering up to law & justice, the traitors to the common-wealth of England. ...		1647 (1647)	Wing E3028; Thomason E397_20; ESTC R201676	19,353	23

welldoing_a very_o i_o say_v unto_o you_o if_o you_o sit_v down_o to_o eat_v drink_v take_v tobacco_n and_o rise_v up_o to_o play_v there_o will_v come_v such_o another_o alarm_n and_o unexpected_a
