The Presbyterian. The Anabaptist. The Army. The late Protector. The Parliament. With their effects in respect of themselves, of one another, and of the publick. Cleerly evidencing the unavoydable ruine upon all from longer contest: and offering an expedient for the composure of the respective differences; to the security and advantage, not onely of every single interest, but to the bringing solid, lasting peace unto the nation.

for_o so_o many_o year_n devote_v to_o hell_n as_o well_o as_o death_n under_o the_o title_n of_o heritick_n and_o apostate_n and_o by_o so_o do_v become_v sudden_o the_o most_o flourish_a and_o the_o
