A. of Trin. Col. Camb. and pastor of Darsham in Suffolke. Published according to order.	Eachard, John, 17th cent.	1646 (1646)	Wing E46; Thomason E322_26; ESTC R200585	51,668	51

all wars in Christendome is to teach them how they have all received one Spirit in Baptisme and baptized into one body that is a loving Spirit a peaceable meek and quiet Spirit that takes of Christs water and shews unto us and of Christs blood and shews unto us and of Christs righteousnesse and shews unto us Joh. 16. 14.
