A14095 A discovery of D. Iacksons vanitie. Or A perspective glasse, wherby the admirers of D. Iacksons profound discourses, may see the vanitie and weaknesse of them, in sundry passages, and especially so farre as they tende to the undermining of the doctrine hitherto received. Written by William Twisse, Doctor of Divinitie, as they say, from whom the copie came to the presse Twisse, William, 1578?-1646. 1631 (1631) STC 24402; ESTC S118777 563,516 728

to_o say_v that_o our_o will_n be_v contingent_o free_a see_v this_o be_v as_o much_o as_o to_o say_v it_o be_v possible_a that_o the_o will_n of_o man_n shall_v not_o be_v free_a but_o you_o give_v
