A76237 A seasonable warning and word of advice to all papists, but most especially to those of the kingdome of France; for them to turn from their idolatry, and gross superstition, and speedily to repent, and hast to meet the Lord by amendment of life, least he come on them, and smite them unawares ... / Charles Baily. Bayley, Charles, 17th century. 1663 (1663) Wing B1473A; ESTC R170471 59,588 68

by_o their_o cruel_a usage_n they_o be_v make_v to_o conform_v to_o their_o will_n this_o be_v evident_a among_o they_o insomuch_o that_o many_o of_o they_o have_v be_v keep_v many_o year_n and_o
