A51484	A peaceable method for the re-uniting Protestants and Catholicks in matters of faith principally in the subject of the Holy Eucharist : proceeding upon principles agreed-on and waving points in dispute : upon occasion of the late conceit concerning the perpetuity of faith touching that great mystery / written in French by Lewis Mainbourg.

our_o stage_n but_o i_o hope_v they_o may_v be_v persuade_v that_o it_o be_v not_o the_o first_o time_n a_o french_a man_n have_v speak_v good_a fence_n though_o in_o bad_a english_a as_o we_o
