A53750	A true and lively representation of popery shewing that popery is only new-modell'd paganism, and perfectly destructive of the great ends and purposes of God in the Gospel.	Owen, Thankfull, 1620-1681.	1679 (1679)	Wing O830; ESTC R18583	46,596	82

religious_a worship_n to_o any_o creature_n whether_o to_o saint_n and_o angel_n or_o demon_n and_o hero_n be_v a_o make_n or_o have_v other_o god_n before_o the_o true_a and_o everliving_a god_n
