A40076	Dirt wipt off, or, A manifest discovery of the gross ignorance, erroneousness and most unchristian and wicked spirit of one John Bunyan ... which he hath shewed in a vile pamphlet publish'd by him, against The design of Christianity ...	Fowler, Edward, 1632-1714.	1672 (1672)	Wing F1701; ESTC R8698	59,846	88

in_o this_o matter_n there_o be_v but_o a_o notional_a difference_n between_o these_o two_o it_o have_v be_v show_v that_o christ_n as_o a_o saviour_n design_n our_o holiness_n his_o salvation_n be_v
