A28542	A remonstrance of some fallacies and mistakes, whereof the informers who have hitherto attempted against the House of the Stillyard, suppressing the truth, and by false suggestions deceiving at one those who do not heed, and those who are ignorant of the matter, or at least those who are too credulous, have made use of With particular answers to all, and a conclusion and petition on every point.

the_o five_o fallacy_n be_v the_o common_a benefit_n to_o this_o commonwealth_n of_o england_n and_o the_o people_n whilst_o they_o say_v the_o revenue_n will_v be_v augment_v yearly_o two_o

3_o for_o that_o the_o queen_n do_v attempt_v to_o possess_v the_o house_n of_o the_o stillyard_n it_o be_v not_o long_o for_o still_o and_o nevertheless_o the_o city_n do_v remain_v in_o continual_a

be_v also_o a_o fable_n that_o the_o hanses_n repossession_n be_v by_o force_n and_o intrusion_n 3_o for_o how_o probable_a be_v it_o that_o a_o few_o merchant_n of_o the_o stillyard_n can_v

4_o the_o hanse-city_n therefore_o have_v remain_v always_o and_o be_v at_o this_o day_n in_o lawful_a perpetual_a and_o continue_a possession_n of_o this_o house_n lawful_a because_o obtain_v from_o

by_o which_o it_o be_v evident_a that_o for_o above_o three_o hundred_o year_n past_a the_o hanses_n have_v constant_o exercise_v their_o commerce_n in_o the_o say_a country_n and_o yet_o
