a_o just_a and_o modest_a vindication_n of_o the_o proceed_n of_o the_o two_o last_o parliament_n the_o amazement_n which_o seize_v every_o good_a man_n upon_o the_o unlooked_a for_o dissolution_n

interest_n or_o the_o influence_n of_o ill_a counsellor_n be_v so_o far_o mislead_v as_o not_o to_o assemble_v parliament_n when_o the_o public_a affair_n require_v it_o or_o to_o declare_v they_o
