A91333	A petition or declaration, humbly desired to be presented to the view of His most Excellent Majestie; by all His Majesties most loyall and dutifull subjects. Shewing the great danger and inconveniences that will happen both to the King and kingdome, if either His Majestie or his people desert his grand and most faithfull councell, the high court of Parliament.	Parker, Henry, 1604-1652.	1642 (1642)	Wing P415; Thomason E107_29; ESTC R23082	5,321	9

time_n commission_n of_o array_n issue_v out_o to_o such_o as_o may_v lord_n rivers_n etc._n etc._n the_o say_a commission_n be_v as_o illegal_a and_o vexatious_a and_o dangerous_a and_o so_o
