A29573	An apologie of John, Earl of Bristol consisting of two tracts : in the first, he setteth down those motives and tyes of religion, oaths, laws, loyalty, and gratitude, which obliged him to adhere unto the King in the late unhappy wars in England : in the second, he vindicateth his honour and innocency from having in any kind deserved that injurious and merciless censure, of being excepted from pardon or mercy, either in life or fortunes.	Bristol, John Digby, Earl of, 1580-1654.	1657 (1657)	Wing B4789; ESTC R9292	74,883	107

his_o power_n and_o greatness_n why_o shall_v he_o not_o expect_v that_o subject_n shall_v make_v as_o bold_a to_o transgress_v the_o same_o duty_n in_o hope_n of_o recover_v liberty_n with_o the_o

and_o posterity_n more_o glorious_a and_o his_o kingdom_n more_o happy_a than_o ever_o and_o in_o another_o place_n they_o say_v that_o since_o the_o parliament_n have_v think_v meet_a to_o draw_v

certain_o my_o lord_n this_o be_v wise_a and_o brotherly_a advice_n and_o i_o doubt_v not_o but_o we_o be_v all_o desirous_a to_o follow_v it_o we_o must_v not_o then_o still_o dwell_v upon_o

which_o may_v be_v expect_v by_o each_o from_o other_o either_o in_o point_n of_o our_o support_n of_o he_o or_o his_o relieve_n of_o we_o and_o last_o how_o all_o these_o condition_n be_v agree_v
