A90521	The Scriptures stability or, the Scripture cannot be broken. Proved, explained, and several wayes applied, whereby all Scripture may with singular advantage come to be improved. Very seasonable and usefull in these last and worst dayes, wherein the authority and truth of the Scripture is now much oppugned, and by few so improved as it ought. By Robert Perrot, B.M. and minister of Gods word, at Deane in Bedfordshire.	R. P. (Robert Perrot)	1658 (1658)	Wing P1646; Thomason E1928_2; ESTC R209990	89,342	222
