A27169	A discourse shewing that Protestants are on the safer side, notwithstanding the uncharitable judgment of their adversaries and that their religion is the surest way to heaven.	Beaulieu, Luke, 1644 or 5-1723.	1687 (1687)	Wing B1572; ESTC R20774	24,111	46

noise_n of_o damnation_n dash_v against_o they_o and_o therefore_o i_o will_v pursue_v thing_n no_o further_o than_o to_o show_v that_o neither_o the_o judgement_n of_o our_o adversary_n nor_o any_o thing_n wherein_o both_o church_n disagree_v any_o way_n endanger_v our_o future_a happiness_n but_o that_o as_o to_o the_o secure_v the_o eternal_a welfare_n of_o our_o immortal_a soul_n we_o be_v
