A47155	A just vindication of my earnest expostulation, added to my book, called The Antichrists and Sadduces detected, &c. directed to the pious and learned, in the Church of England, and among the dissenters, against the trifling exceptions of Edward Pennington, which he calls Some observations, etc.	Keith, George, 1639?-1716.	1696 (1696)	Wing K178; ESTC R14235	8,105	7
