Discovering the dangers and miseries the three kingdomes are liable unto, by reason of his Majesties evill counsellors as the effects doth declare. As also, the justice, reasonablenesse, and necessitie of changing them.	Pym, John, 1584-1643.	1642 (1642)	Wing P4283; Thomason E200_49; ESTC R14471	4,627	8
