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. In the last of these I give a scantling of the Christian tackticks, from the levying of the souldier, to the founding of the retrait; together with a modell of the carryage, both of conquerour and conquered. 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

a_o break_a title_n this_o i_o be_v force_v to_o clear_v as_o brief_o as_o i_o can_v that_o the_o right_n of_o king_n frederick_n may_v be_v the_o clear_a which_o be_v lay_v in_o the_o balance_n of_o
