A85889	A defence of A treatise against superstitious Iesu-worship, falsely called scandalous, against the truely scandalous answer of the parson of Westminston in Sussex. Wherein also the whole structure of his Antiteichisma, so farre as it concernes the po[i]nt in controversie is overthrowne, the truth more fully cleared, and the iniquitie of that superstition more throughly detected. By M.G. the author of the former treatise, published Anno Dom. 1642	Giles, Mascall, 1595 or 6-1652.	1643 (1643)	Wing G46; Thomason E64_6; ESTC R16778	55,127	71

this_o sense_n in_o any_o part_n of_o scripture_n my_o four_o reason_n you_o frivolous_o slight_a you_o deny_v that_o if_o the_o name_n above_o every_o name_n be_v a_o proper_a name_n the_o subject_a

name_n must_v bow_v knee_n to_o that_o name_n than_o it_o will_v follow_v that_o beside_o the_o name_n of_o the_o creature_n the_o name_n of_o god_n must_v bow_v to_o the_o name_n jesus_n this_o
