Strana 383 - Am I a freeman in England, and do I become a slave in six hours by crossing the channel...
Strana 345 - Squire their Landlord will never be so bewitched to take such Trash for his Land; so that it must certainly stop somewhere or other, and wherever it stops it is the same Thing, and we are all undone.
Strana 408 - And there went out a champion out of the camp of the Philistines, named Goliath, of Gath, whose height was six cubits and a span. 5 And he had a helmet of brass upon his head, and he was armed with a coat of mail; and the weight of the coat was five thousand shekels of brass.

Strana 4 - War] is a Bottomless Pit, exemplified in the Case of the Lord STRUTT [the Kings of Spain], JOHN BULL [England] the Clothier, NICHOLAS FROG \Holland] the Linendraper, and LEWIS BABOON [Louis XIV. of Bourbon= France].
Strana 43 - I'll find those that shall manage her ; and for him, he dares as well be hanged as make one step in his affairs without my consent. If you will give me what you promised him I will make all things easy and stop the deeds of ejectment against Lord Strutt.
Strana 340 - Cloathing, and every common Necessary of Life entirely depend upon it. Therefore I do most earnestly exhort you as Men, as Christians, as Parents, and as Lovers of your Country, to read this Paper with the utmost Attention, or get it read to you by others...
