In both which the authour conceives he hath said enough to keepe any man from the Roman Church, in the generall of religion, and from the Presbyterian congregation in the particular of the eucharist, or the Lords Supper: because St Paul saies, 1 Cor. 11. 16. Wee know no such custome, neither the Church of God. By T. Swadling, D.D.	Swadlin, Thomas, 1600-1670.	1653 (1653)	Wing S6230; Thomason E712_1; ESTC R207131	21,573	32

passage_n be_v allow_v concern_v babylon_n in_o their_o signification_n rome_n the_o seat_n of_o antichrist_n yet_o more_o than_o probable_a it_o be_v if_o the_o pope_n be_v head_n of_o the_o church_n by_o virtue_n of_o such_o succession_n that_o the_o writer_n of_o the_o new_a testament_n be_v frequent_o forewarn_v man_n of_o heretic_n of_o false_a prophet_n of_o false_a christ_n shall_v never_o

when_o christ_n say_v thou_o be_v peter_n etc._n etc._n they_o shall_v still_o contend_v who_o shall_v be_v the_o first_o and_o that_o christ_n shall_v not_o tell_v they_o st._n peter_n be_v the_o

to_o i_o that_o the_o catechumeni_fw-la in_o the_o primitive_a church_n shall_v never_o be_v teach_v this_o foundation_n of_o their_o faith_n that_o the_o father_n tertullian_n saint_n hierome_n and_o
