A13216 Redde debitum. Or, A discourse in defence of three chiefe fatherhoods grounded upon a text dilated to the latitude of the fift Commandement; and is therfore grounded thereupon, because 'twas first intended for the pulpit, and should have beene concluded in one or two sermons, but is extended since to a larger tract; and written chiefely in confutation of all disobedient and factious kinde of people, who are enemies both to the Church and state.

of_o creation_n the_o memory_n of_o the_o first_o be_v obscure_v by_o the_o last_o and_o so_o the_o one_o be_v to_o give_v place_n unto_o the_o other_o as_o in_o a_o case_n not_o much_o unlike_o it_o
