A86442	Some observations upon a sermon bearing the name of Mr. Astley's; preached in opposition to a testimony, and sign unto them, of their spiritual nakedness; wherein he is found to wrest and pervert the scriptures : to be ignorant of the truth, as it is in Jesus; and consequently no minister of Christ, &c. / By a lover of the truth, John Hogg.	Hogg, John, fl. 1675-1698.	1675 (1675)	Wing H2368A; ESTC R178082	15,967	23
