A92927	The Army anatomized: or, A brief & plain display of the humble, honest and religious actings of the General Sir Tho. Fairfax, and his army of saints, toward the good of the King and Parliament, and the whole kingdom, since the famous victory, at Naseby, June 14. 1645. Occasioned upon the serious consideration of 4 Scripture-properties of every true saint and Christian soldier. 1. Whatsoever ye would that men should do unto you ('tis our Saviors own Golden-Rule) even so do ye unto them. Mat. 7. 12. 2. Not to do any evil (a general Rule, which admits of no exception, either in Kings, or in Commanders) that good may come thereof. Rom. 3.8. 3. To abstain from every appearance of evil; much more from every apparent evil. 2 Thes. 5. 22. 4. Do violence, or wrong, to no man; neither accuse any man falsly. Luke 3.14. Now, how Sir Tho. Fairfax's army of saints and Christian soldiers have performed all these, or any of these, shal be faithfully and plainly declared, in 20. following observations. / By a loyal lover of peace and truth; but a hearty contemner of sedition and schism.	Loyal lover of peace and truth.	1647 (1647)	Wing S2600; Thomason E419_6; ESTC R203539	29,584	39

of_o a_o universal_a toleration_n the_o general_n the_o council_n of_o war_n and_o agitator_n have_v thus_o as_o be_v aforesaid_a feel_v the_o pulse_n of_o the_o people_n in_o many_o place_n as_o they_o ramble_v up_o and_o down_o to_o be_v all_o for_o peace_n and_o freedom_n from_o taxation_n and_o that_o almost_o upon_o any_o condition_n they_o do_v first_o most_o illegal_o accuse_v 11._o

the_o grand_a anvil_n whereon_o now_o they_o must_v hammer_v and_o hatch_v all_o their_o subsequent_a mischievous_a plot_n thus_o by_o the_o very_a name_n of_o a_o second_o war_n so_o opposite_a and_o

itself_o be_v the_o only_a rise_n and_o original_a cause_n of_o all_o our_o fear_n and_o jealousy_n of_o a_o second_o war_n by_o their_o so_o bold_a and_o rebellious_a refusal_n to_o disband_v at_o
