A90770 A Plea for succession in opposition to popular exclusion wherein it is evidenced, that an association, or any other such method, is a more immediate way to arbitrary power and a more certain road to popery than a standing up to the right of succession can in any reason be supposed to be : with some remarques on Coleman and his letters. 1682 (1682) Wing P2516; ESTC R225594 23,646 20

therefore_o he_o will_v not_o resist_v he_o and_o to_o love_v his_o religion_n and_o for_o that_o reason_n he_o will_v not_o help_v to_o destroy_v it_o he_o have_v be_v teach_v in_o the_o same_o act_n
