A92052	The royal project: or A clear discovery of his Majesties design in the present treaty. Whereunto is annexed a seasonable caution for the Parliament of England, the Army under the command of Tho. Lord Fairfax, and all that thirst to be for ever freed from a long established course of tyranny, and to see this nation restored to its pristine glory, freedom, and tranquility. Wherein the rottenness of the present treaty, and the impossiblility of making the people thereby secure, and absolutely free, is palpably declared, and detected. / By Verity Victor.

that_o all_o which_o his_o majesty_n shall_v now_o grant_v and_o enact_v shall_v be_v reverse_v and_o make_v null_n and_o so_o we_o shall_v be_v fit_v with_o a_o colchester_n bull._n and_o where_o
