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
