A27122	A briefe declaration to all the vvorld from the innocent people of God called Quakers of our principle and beleif [sic] concerning plottings and fightings with carnal weapons against any people, men or nations upon the earth ... and to answer that common objection whether we would not fight if the Spirit moved us.

work_n the_o author_n and_o ground_n of_o strife_n war_n and_o confusion_n and_o to_o guide_v the_o foot_n of_o all_o people_n in_o the_o way_n of_o peace_n so_o this_o be_v our_o principle_n not_o
