A89919 A project for an equitable and lasting peace. Designed in the year 1643. when the affairs stood in ballance before the second coming of the Scots into this kingdom, from a desire to have kept them out then. With a disquisition how the said project may now be reduced to fit the present conjuncture of affairs, in a letter sent to divers prudent persons of all sorts. For preventing the Scots bringing an army into England a third time, or making themselves umpires of our affaires. By a cordiall agreement of the King, Parliament, City, Army, and of all the people in this kingdome among our selves. Nethersole, Francis, Sir, 1587-1659.; England and Wales, Army. 1648 (1648) Wing N498; Thomason E459_16; ESTC R203019; ESTC R205087 17,014 32
