A42574 The primitive fathers no papists in answer to the Vindication of the Nubes testium : to which is added an historical discourse concerning invocation of saints, in answer to the challenge of F. Sabran the Jesuit, wherein is shewn that invocation of saints was so far from being the practice, that it was expresly [sic] against the doctrine of the primitive fathers. Gee, Edward, 1657-1730. 1688 (1688) Wing G459; ESTC R18594 102,715 146

to_o a_o great_a many_o very_a severe_a charge_n in_o that_o chapter_n he_o serve_v we_o up_o again_o two_o or_o three_o bit_n of_o his_o former_a passage_n and_o that_o be_v all_o i_o tell_v he_o
