A17308	Truth's triumph ouer Trent: or, the great gulfe betweene Sion and Babylon That is, the vnreconcileable opposition betweene the Apostolicke Church of Christ, and the apostate synagogue of Antichrist, in the maine and fundamentall doctrine of iustification, for which the Church of England Christs spouse, hath iustly, through Gods mercie, for these manie yeares, according to Christs voyce, separated her selfe from Babylon, with whom from henceforth she must hold no communion.

if_o regeneration_n be_v but_o begin_v then_o there_o be_v a_o child_n of_o god_n at_o least_o new_o conceive_v if_o not_o new_o bear_v and_o bring_v forth_o such_o conception_n be_v a_o false_a
