A76079	A declaration demonstrating and infallibly proving that all malignants, whether they be prelates, popish-cavaleers, with all other ill-affected persons, are enemies to God and the King: who desire the suppression of the Gospel, the advancement of superstition, the diminution of the Kings prerogative and authority, with the oppression of the subject. All which is evinced by strong proofes, and sufficient reasons. By John Bastwick Dr. of Physick.	Bastwick, John, 1593-1654.	1643 (1643)	Wing B1061; Thomason E101_8; ESTC R1900	48,987	64

with_o many_o other_o argument_n prove_v that_o presbyter_n be_v better_a man_n than_o the_o bishop_n of_o rome_n if_o there_o be_v any_o difference_n the_o sum_n of_o which_o he_o desire_v this_o
