THE LORD BACON S QUESTIONS ABOUT 



THE LAWFULNESS OF A WAR 

 FOR THE PROPAGATING OF RELIGION. 



QUESTIONS WHEREIN I DESIRE OPINION JOINED WITH 

 ARGUMENTS AND AUTHORITIES. 



WHETHER a war be lawful against infidels, only for 

 the propagation of the Christian faith, without other 

 cause of hostility ? 



Whether a war be lawful to recover to the 

 Church countries which formerly have been Chris 

 tian, though now alienate, and Christians utterly 

 extirpated ? 



Whether a war be lawful, to free and deliver 

 Christians that yet remain in servitude and subjec 

 tion to infidels ?
