A25857	No peace 'till the king prosper a letter writ from a true lover of peace to one that is both modestly inquiring and discovering the true and false paths to a present peace : that if the Parliament prevaile against the king, peace cannot be, but if the king prevaile, it must be, and if neither prevaile, it will not be.	Arnway, John, 1601-1653.; A. A.	1645 (1645)	Wing A3734; ESTC R200232	5,192	10
