A79850	Hyporites [sic] unmasked, or, The hypocrisie of the new usurpers discovered, and their often saying, God set it on their hearts; in a few questions propounded to the inferiour officers and souldiers of the Army, whom some do now indeavour to seduce from their obedience to their masters the Parliament.

Propounded by a lover of his countrey, and a sufferer for the good old cause.	Clarges, Thomas, Sir, d. 1695.	1674 (1674)	Wing C4429A; Thomason E1005_18	5,424	8
