A96925	A word to purpose: or, A Parthian dart, shot back to 1642, and from thence shot back again to 1659. swiftly glancing upon some remarkable occurrences of the times; and now sticks fast in two substantial queries, I. concerning the legality of the second meeting of some of the Long-Parliament-Members. Also, a fools bolt shot into Wallingford House, by as good a friend to England, as any is there, concerning a free state.		1659 (1659)	Wing W3566; Thomason E985_9; ESTC R204153	9,686	15

now_o the_o only_a succession_n of_o the_o king_n than_o it_o fall_v out_o now_o that_o act_n be_v void_a then_o have_v nobody_o power_n to_o dissolve_v yes_o the_o soldier_n probatum_fw-la est_fw-la
