A51059	A Moderate and safe expedient to remove jealousies and feares of any danger or prejudice to this state by the Roman Catholicks of this Kingdome and to mitigate the censure of too much severity towards them, with a great advantage of honour and profit to this state and nation.		1646 (1646)	Wing M2322; ESTC R28830	7,223	17
