A41193	Whether the Parliament be not in law dissolved by the death of the Princess of Orange? and how the subjects ought, and are to behave themselves in relation to those papers emitted since by the stile and title of Acts : with a brief account of the government of England : in a letter to a country gentleman, as an answer to his second question.	Ferguson, Robert, d. 1714.	1695 (1695)	Wing F765; ESTC R7434	52,609	60

some_o judge_n elude_v and_o we_o have_v not_o have_v the_o speedy_a and_o full_a benefit_n of_o they_o but_o there_o be_v never_o a_o law_n before_o these_o unhappy_a and_o disloyal_a parliament_n
