A57691	The bounds & bonds of publique obedience, or, A vindication of our lawfull submission to the present government, or to a government supposed unlawfull, but commanding lawfull things likewise how such an obedience is consistent with our Solemne League and Covenant : in all which a reply is made to the three answers of the two demurrers, and to the author of The grand case of conscience, who professe themselves impassionate Presbyterians.	Rous, Francis, 1579-1659.	1649 (1649)	Wing R2013; ESTC R15008	51,239	74

supreme_a command_n we_o of_o the_o people_n may_v not_o obey_v any_o but_o the_o husband_n or_o the_o king_n life_n why_o then_o do_v the_o presbyterian_a party_n for_o so_o many_o year_n oppose_v
