In 3. sections: wherein, I. The history of Sauls war against David is so related ... that it relates ... to the three last yeeres affaires ... II. And to the bloudy execution of the Edomite in this war against the Parliament in Ireland and Lngland [sic] ever since. III. Here is also excellent reason given, why the tribes came not in sooner ...
