A52145	Remarks upon a late disingenuous discourse, writ by one T.D. under the pretence de causa Dei, and of answering Mr. John Howe's letter and postscript of God's prescience, &c., affirming, as the Protestant docrine, that GOd doth by efficacious influence universally move and determine men to all their actions, even to those that are most wicked by a Protestant.	Marvell, Andrew, 1621-1678.	1678 (1678)	Wing M884; ESTC R22	46,758	164
