A29573	An apologie of John, Earl of Bristol consisting of two tracts : in the first, he setteth down those motives and tyes of religion, oaths, laws, loyalty, and gratitude, which obliged him to adhere unto the King in the late unhappy wars in England : in the second, he vindicateth his honour and innocency from having in any kind deserved that injurious and merciless censure, of being excepted from pardon or mercy, either in life or fortunes.	Bristol, John Digby, Earl of, 1580-1654.	1657 (1657)	Wing B4789; ESTC R9292	74,883	107

his_o power_n and_o greatness_n why_o shall_v he_o not_o expect_v that_o subject_n shall_v make_v as_o bold_a to_o transgress_v the_o same_o duty_n in_o hope_n of_o recover_v liberty_n with_o the_o

it_o can_v not_o miss_v of_o a_o happy_a and_o bless_a conclusion_n for_o in_o substance_n if_o our_o desire_n be_v suitable_a to_o our_o profession_n we_o be_v agree_v for_o our_o profession_n be_v
