A85381	Anti-Cavalierisme, or, Truth pleading as well the necessity, as the lawfulness of this present vvar, for the suppressing of that butcherly brood of cavaliering incendiaries, who are now hammering England, to make an Ireland of it: wherein all the materiall objections against the lawfulness of this undertaking, are fully cleered and answered, and all men that either love God, themselves, or good men, exhorted to contribute all manner of assistance hereunto.

protestation_n or_o no_o it_o be_v not_o much_o material_a in_o this_o respect_n because_o he_o stand_v bind_v in_o conscience_n otherwise_o and_o by_o the_o law_n of_o god_n to_o do_v it_o now_o
