A54944	A discourse concerning the trial of spirits wherein inquiry is made into mens pretences to inspiration for publishing doctrines, in the name of God beyond the rules of the sacred scriptures : in opposition to some principles and practices of papists and fanaticks, as they contradict the doctrines of the Church of England, defined in her Articles of Religion, established by her ecclesiastical canons, and confirmed by acts of Parliament / by Thomas Pittis ...

have_v a_o great_a deal_n of_o reason_n to_o do_v it_o if_o a_o scholar_n ought_v to_o respect_v his_o instructor_n for_o it_o be_v plain_a that_o s._n paul_n inform_v he_o in_o a_o point_n that_o
