B21136	The advantages of the present settlement, and the great danger of a relapse	Defoe, Daniel, 1661?-1731.	1689 (1689)	Wing D827B	28,552	40

a_o pestilent_a heresy_n to_o this_o end_n tend_v the_o erect_v of_o chapel_n for_o popish_a devotion_n and_o public_a school_n for_o popish_a education_n be_v it_o for_o nothing_o that_o a_o
