A62673	An essay concerning the laws of nations, and the rights of soveraigns with an account of what was said at the council-board by the civilians upon the question, whether Their Majesties subjects taken at sea acting by the late king's commission, might not be looked on as pirates? : with reflections upon the arguments of Sir T.P. and Dr. Ol / by Mat.

debate_v there_o to_o which_o he_o answer_v that_o king_n james_n be_v allow_v very_o late_o the_o right_n of_o a_o king_n and_o that_o those_o that_o act_v by_o his_o commission_n in_o ireland_n be_v
