A26628 An appeal to God and the King together with a true narrative of unparallell'd grievances &c. wherein may be seen as a mirrour ... the surpassing miseries of the English nation above other nations for having the best and most wholesome laws in the whole world, yet being so excessively corrupted by covetousness of money in the law-practicers as now they are ... and unless some expedient be found out for a just and due administration of justice without fee or bride, 'tis impossible for this nation to be happy, but must remain the most miserable nation in the whole world / most humbly presented by Benjamin Albyn.

then_o b._n come_v to_o a._n know_v he_o to_o be_v a_o man_n that_o will_v suffer_v much_o rather_o than_o be_v trouble_v with_o a_o lawsuit_n and_o pretend_v what_o disreputation_n it_o will_v be_v
