A96751	Justitiarius justificatus. = The iustice justified. Being an apologeticall remonstrance, / delivered to the honourable Commissioners, of the Great Seale, by George Wither Esquire, and occasioned by Sir Richard Onslow Knight, with some others, who moved to have him put out of the commission of the peace, in Surrey: in which private-defence, many things are expressed, verie pertinent to publike-consideration; and, top the vindication of the liberties of the subject, in generall, and of magistrates, in particular.

kingdom_n may_v true_o boast_v of_o my_o faithfulness_n to_o the_o state_n be_v so_o overmuch_o evidence_v to_o my_o damage_n at_o this_o present_a and_o so_o general_o know_v by_o my_o expression_n
