A85407	Peace protected, and discontent dis-armed. Wherein the seventeen queries (with the addition of three more, postscript-wise) lately published, partly to allay the discontents of some about the late revolution of government, but more especially to guide every mans feet into the way of peace, as well his own, as the publique, are reinforced with replies unto, and animadversions upon, such answers, which some (it seems) have given unto them, to invalidate their purport and intent. Together with four new queries superadded. By the author of the said seventeen queries.

as_o we_o late_o hear_v from_o daniel_n to_o remove_v king_n and_o to_o set_v up_o king_n and_o consequent_o to_o make_v all_o the_o change_n and_o alteration_n in_o government_n that_o be_v find_v

those_o who_o love_n god_n especial_o be_v full_o satisfy_v in_o the_o truth_n and_o certainty_n hereof_o rather_o according_a to_o the_o apostle_n exhortation_n in_o every_o thing_n to_o give_v

than_o all_o those_o who_o for_o conscience_n sake_n be_v subject_a to_o the_o government_n bring_v in_o by_o the_o late_a change_n can_v so_o much_o as_o with_o any_o face_n of_o reason_n or_o of_o
