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.

be_v no_o better_a than_o perjure_a but_o now_o all_o the_o question_n be_v say_v our_o scribbler_n whether_o such_o a_o particular_a man_n have_v so_o unalterable_a right_n to_o such_o a_o one_o

of_o case_n and_o indeed_o it_o be_v a_o substantial_a fiction_n by_o his_o old_a way_n of_o suppose_v now_o let_v we_o once_o more_o see_v what_o he_o suppose_v for_o by_o this_o suppose_n he_o pretend_v to_o resolve_v the_o query_n what_o the_o forfeit_v crime_n be_v in_o our_o present_a case_n very_o good_a suppose_v say_v he_o him_z that_o expect_v to_o be_v heir_n pervert_v from_o the_o

be_v to_o let_v he_o know_v it_o be_v but_o a_o malicious_a at_o best_a and_o no_o charitable_a supposition_n and_o till_o there_o be_v better_a ground_n than_o any_o the_o public_a have_v be_v inform_v of_o yet_o to_o six_o it_o upon_o i_o shall_v grant_v no_o such_o supposition_n at_o all_o in_o the_o next_o place_n say_v he_o suppose_v his_o principal_a servant_n and_o great_a confident_a
