A41497	The pagans debt and dowry, or, A brief discussion of these questions how far and in what sence such persons of mankinde amongst whom the letter of the Gospel never came are not withstanding bound to believe on Jesus Christ (with some other particulars relating hereunto) : returned by way of answer to a discourse in writing lately sent without name (together with a letter subscribed only T.S.) unto Mr. John Goodwin, the author as yet unknown to him, yer (as appears by the said discourse) a person of worth and learning, and (as he supposeth) a minister of the Gospel / by the said John Goodvvin.	Goodwin, John, 1594?-1665.	1651 (1651)	Wing G1186; ESTC R30309	41,506	67

you_o must_v take_v from_o i_o before_o i_o can_v surrender_v but_o sir_n very_o brief_o and_o according_a to_o the_o short_a tedder_z of_o my_o time_n to_o touch_v some_o of_o the_o more_o material_a

you_o mean_a that_o which_o be_v true_a and_o accompany_v salvation_n because_o otherwise_o you_o shall_v not_o counter-argue_v i_o in_o my_o notion_n without_o faith_n i_o perceive_v you_o be_v a_o
