A05289	Speculum belli sacri: Or The looking-glasse of the holy war wherein is discovered: the evill of war. The good of warr. The guide of war.

I haue applyed the generall rules warranted by the Word, to the particular necessity of our present times.	Leighton, Alexander, 1568-1649.	1624 (1624)	STC 15432; ESTC S108433	252,360	338
