A31186	The case of the suspended bishops considered in which the unreasonableness of their descent from the present government and the mischievous consequence that hath attended it, is demonstrated.		1691 (1691)	Wing C1168; ESTC R3534	16,373	38

our_o apologist_n in_o set_v forth_o a_o few_o day_n imprisonment_n in_o one_o of_o the_o royal_a palace_n of_o the_o king_n of_o england_n for_o such_o the_o tower_n be_v under_o the_o notion_n of_o

it_o be_v a_o ordinary_a expression_n to_o serve_v god_n in_o the_o work_n of_o the_o ministry_n but_o it_o be_v a_o new_a one_o to_o serve_v the_o king_n in_o it_o and_o i_o believe_v these_o
