A38820	Discourses on the present state of the Protestant princes of Europe exhorting them to an union and league amongst themselves against all opposite interest, from the great endeavours of the court of France and Rome to influence all Roman Catholick princes, against the Protestant states and religion, and the advantage that our divisions give to their party : wherein the general scope of this horrid Popish Plot is laid down, and presented to publick view / by Edmund Everard ...
