A76483	Mutatus polemo. The horrible strategems of the Jesuits, lately practised in England, during the Civil-Wars, and now discovered by a reclaimed Romanist: imployed before as a workman of the mission from his Holiness. Wherein the Royalist may see himself outwitted and forlorn, while the Presbyterian is closed with, and all to draw on the holy cause. A relation so particular, and with such exquisite characters of truth stampt upon it, that each of our three grand parties may here feel how each others pulses beat. Also a discovery of a plot laid for a speedy invasion. / By A.B. novice. Published by special command.	A. B., Novice.	1650 (1650)	Wing B21; Thomason E612_2; ESTC R23105	40,723	56

his_o clergy_n doctrine_n will_v not_o do_v it_o yet_o let_v he_o be_v convince_v and_o instruct_v by_o the_o example_n and_o practice_n of_o his_o heroic_a grandfather_n the_o great_a henry_n of_o

to_o a_o plenary_a possession_n and_o my_o opinion_n be_v if_o his_o majesty_n take_v the_o same_o course_n the_o pope_n himself_o and_o all_o the_o catholic_n throughout_o europe_n prize_v england_n high_o will_v use_v all_o mean_n for_o a_o recovery_n which_o will_v be_v so_o much_o the_o more_o easy_a to_o attain_v upon_o that_o score_n in_o regard_n the_o catholic_n or_o such_o as_o be_v at_o
