A85191 The interest of England stated: or A faithful and just account of the aims of all parties now pretending. Distinctly treating of the designements of [brace] the Roman Catholick. The royalist. The Presbyterian. The Anabaptist. The Army. The late Protector. The Parliament. With their effects in respect of themselves, of one another, and of the publick. Cleerly evidencing the unavoydable ruine upon all from longer contest: and offering an expedient for the composure of the respective differences; to the security and advantage, not onely of every single interest, but to the bringing solid, lasting peace unto the nation.
