A90786	The way to the peace and settlement of these nations, fully discovered in two letters, delivered to his late Highnesse, and one to the present Parliament, as also one to his Highnesse Richard Lord Protector, of England, Scotland, and Ireland, &c. Wherein the liberty of speaking ... is opposed against Antichrist, for the procuring of his downfall, who will not grant the same to others; and now published to awaken the publick spirits in England, and to raise up an universal magistrate in Christendome, that will suffer all sorts of people, (of what religion soever they are) in any one countrey, as God (the great magistrate) suffers the same in all countreys of the world. By Peter Cornelius, Van Zurick-Zee, a lover of truth and peace.	Plockhoy, Pieter Corneliszoon, fl. 1659.; Cromwell, Oliver, 1599-1658.; Cromwell, Richard, 1626-1712.	1659 (1659)	Wing P2581E; Thomason E972_6; ESTC R203156	15,982	32
