A91879	The falsehood of Mr. VVilliam Pryn's Truth triumphing, in the antiquity of popish princes and Parliaments. To which, he attributes a sole, sovereigne, legislative, coercive power in all matters of religion; discovered to be full of absurdities, contradictions, sacriledge, and to make more in favour of Rome and Antichrist, than all the bookes and pamphlets which were ever published, whether by papall or episcopall prelates, or parisites, since the reformation. With twelve queries, eight whereof visit Mr. Pryn the second time, because they could not be satisfied at the first.

and_o do_v do_v it_o by_o full_a authority_n from_o god_n since_o by_o the_o self_n same_o manner_n of_o argue_v it_o will_v follow_v that_o popery_n be_v the_o true_a religion_n because_o most_o
