A96775	A suddain flash timely discovering, some reasons wherefore, the stile of Protector, should not be deserted by these nations, with some other things, by them very considerable. It was first made visible, the fourth day, after the author heard it reported, that the Lord Protector, had waved the title of King. / By Britans remembrancer.

make_v our_o self_n as_o culpable_a as_o he_o and_o there_o be_v somewhat_o in_o we_o which_o no_o doubt_n do_v from_o a_o root_n of_o bitterness_n spring_v out_o that_o will_v produce_v our_o shame_n
