A78042	To avoid the intolerable drudgery of giving full satisfaction by a several letter to every one that may deserve and desire it, the rector of Exeter College hath taken this way to give an account of the unhappy affair which hath drawn clamors, as decry him and his assessors in behalf of one of the fellows, who they say is injuriously, or at least too severely expelled.	Bury, Arthur, 1624-1713.	1689-1690 (1690)	Wing B6203A; ESTC R173336	4,986	2
