A50646	Some remarques upon a late popular piece of nonsence called Julian the apostate, &c. together, with a particular vindication of His Royal Highness the Duke of York, by some bold truths in answer to a great many impudent calumnies raised against him, by the foolish arguments, false reasonings and suppositions, imposed upon the publick from several scandalous and seditious pamphlets especially from one more notorious and generally virulent than the rest, sometime since published under the title of A Tory Plot, &c. / by a lover of truth, vertue, and justice.	Meredith, Edward, 1648-1689?	1682 (1682)	Wing M1784; ESTC R23540	71,436	69

julian_n be_v name_v in_o it_o i_o desire_v to_o forfeit_v my_o credit_n with_o he_o for_o ever_o well_o but_o say_v our_o author_n this_o metropolitan_a be_v a_o better_a grecian_a than_o ever_o i_o
