A49291	Personal reprobation reprobated being a plain exposition upon the nineth chapter to the Romans, shewing, that there is neither little nor much of any such doctrine as personal election or reprobations, asserted by the apostle in that chapter : but that his great designe is to maintain justification by faith in Jesus Christ, without the works of the law / humbly offered to serious consideration, by Samuel Loveday.	Loveday, Samuel, 1619-1677.	1676 (1676)	Wing L3235; ESTC R39683	197,425	354

that_o make_v we_o reject_v your_o christian_a religion_n and_o to_o make_v this_o read_n more_o plain_a they_o proceed_v also_o upon_o the_o 20_o verse_n thus_o from_o s._n paul_n reproof_n you_o
