A96265	A discovery, and confutation of the opinions, and practises of some false brethren, betwixt Bridge, and Lincolne: shewing how they agree in their opinions, with Pelagians; Papists; Arminians; in their practises, with Anabaptists.

predestinate_v also_o that_o they_o shall_v use_v the_o mean_n the_o sick_a man_n may_v safe_o answer_v nay_o rather_o if_o god_n have_v decree_v i_o shall_v recover_v therefore_o i_o will_v send_v
