A91779	Gemitus plebis: or A mournful complaint and supplication in behalf of the more weak and ignorant of the people of this nation. Drawn up for them by a friend, whose deep sense of his own ignorance and weakness, hath taught him to be compassionate towards all that labour under the same infirmities. / By C. Raie.

of_o the_o sad_a consequent_n of_o such_o a_o reformation_n in_o order_n to_o this_o and_o the_o follow_a generation_n consider_v and_o compare_v with_o such_o remarkable_a sign_n of_o divine_a
