A07444 The iudge of heresies one God, one faith, one church, out of which there is no saluation. Excluding all infidells, Mahumetans, Iewes, obstinate papists, and other heretikes of all sorts, and consequently all newters, who conforme themselues onely externally to any religion, from hope of participation of the kingdome of heauen.

Meredith, John, b. 1579 or 80. 1624 (1624) STC 17830; ESTC S112660 68,232 98
