A41160	Janus Alexandrus Ferrarius, an Augustine friar, his epistles to the two brethern of Wallenburgh, concerning the usefulness and necessity of the Roman Catholick faith wherein the ambition and avarice of the Church of Rome are lively demonstrated in a mathematical method, by a continued series of connexed propositions / from the original Latine.	Fabricius, Johann Ludwig, 1632-1697.; Fabricius, Joannes Ludovicus.	1673 (1673)	Wing F73; ESTC R32018	52,870	158

undoubted_a truth_n nor_o find_v we_o any_o force_n upon_o our_o soul_n to_o constrain_v our_o belief_n of_o it_o wherefore_o this_o proposition_n seem_v not_o to_o deserve_v any_o place_n among_o those_o which_o with_o one_o single_a prospect_n of_o the_o mind_n be_v at_o once_o perceive_v and_o approve_v of_o by_o we_o but_o yet_o indeed_o to_o remove_v that_o difficulty_n it_o shall_v
