A81589	The Doctrine of the Presbyterians reduced into practise. Whereby it is demonstratively proved, that it can neither convert an infidel, amend a profane person, nor comfort an a[ffli]cted. That it overturneth the profitable preaching of the Word, the use of the sacraments, and exercise of prayers.		1647 (1647)	Wing D1774A; ESTC R174682	11,392	29

be_v there_o to_o be_v find_v in_o all_o the_o scripture_n any_o one_o promise_n of_o such_o perseverance_n in_o faith_n as_o these_o man_n intimate_v see_v that_o all_o exhortation_n whereof_o the_o
