A85407	Peace protected, and discontent dis-armed. Wherein the seventeen queries (with the addition of three more, postscript-wise) lately published, partly to allay the discontents of some about the late revolution of government, but more especially to guide every mans feet into the way of peace, as well his own, as the publique, are reinforced with replies unto, and animadversions upon, such answers, which some (it seems) have given unto them, to invalidate their purport and intent. Together with four new queries superadded. By the author of the said seventeen queries.

1._o that_o the_o main_a design_n animadver._n of_o the_o query_n both_o divisim_fw-la and_o conjunctim_fw-la be_v to_o try_v spirit_n and_o to_o discover_v who_o be_v the_o person_n that_o in_o

we_o find_v none_o of_o the_o apostle_n that_o satan_n have_v this_o advantage_n answer_n against_o but_o peter_n who_o be_v so_o confident_a of_o his_o own_o ability_n that_o he_o think_v none_o so_o
