A50646	Some remarques upon a late popular piece of nonsence called Julian the apostate, &c. together, with a particular vindication of His Royal Highness the Duke of York, by some bold truths in answer to a great many impudent calumnies raised against him, by the foolish arguments, false reasonings and suppositions, imposed upon the publick from several scandalous and seditious pamphlets especially from one more notorious and generally virulent than the rest, sometime since published under the title of A Tory Plot, &c. / by a lover of truth, vertue, and justice.

the_o succession_n of_o this_o julian_n we_o may_v expect_v here_o some_o precedent_n for_o a_o act_n of_o exclusion_n warrant_v from_o a_o practice_n of_o so_o ancient_a a_o stand_n as_o that_o of_o
