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.	Meredith, Edward, 1648-1689?	1682 (1682)	Wing M1784; ESTC R23540	71,436	69

presumptive_a be_v a_o nonsensical_a distinction_n to_o make_v the_o best_a of_o it_o for_o he_o ought_v not_o according_a to_o your_o argumment_n to_o have_v allow_v that_o the_o duke_n be_v so_o

thou_o noddle_n full_a of_o unutterable_a nonsense_n there_o be_v several_a kind_n of_o conveniency_n indeed_o but_o i_o never_o hear_v of_o kind_n of_o necessity_n before_o as_o for_o example_n i_o

his_o trade_n with_o a_o julian_n the_o apostate_n this_o i_o take_v to_o be_v a_o illustrative_a distinction_n of_o necessity_n and_o conveniency_n but_o why_o my_o dear_a author_n shall_v he_o

will_v have_v by_o that_o a_o necessity_n to_o extirpate_v the_o church_n of_o england_n as_o by_o the_o law_n it_o be_v establish_v be_v a_o riddle_n i_o will_v fain_o see_v interpret_v i_o believe_v

his_o kingdom_n either_o 100000_o protestant_n will_v be_v too_o hard_a for_o all_o the_o pope_n bull_n in_o christendom_n this_o policy_n i_o believe_v any_o successor_n let_v his_o private_a

it_o be_v very_o observable_a be_v not_o kill_v by_o ravillac_n till_o he_o leave_v the_o protestant_a religion_n and_o encourage_v popery_n have_v he_o keep_v it_o under_o still_o and_o establish_v
