A46990	A suddain essay with a sincere desire to vindicate Christianity, or the common faith, from the superlative heresies or phantasticall novelties of all selfe-particular Sciolists endeavouring the subversion of the same by seven arguments used in opposition to Mr. John Biddle, Febr. 18 and Febr. 25, 1654 at his school in Coleman Street by Richard Jackson.	Jackson, Richard, 1621-1677.; Biddle, John, 1615-1662.	1655 (1655)	Wing J87A; ESTC R28947	13,237	28

such_o formal_a object_n of_o faith_n as_o be_v the_o blood_n of_o christ_n ro._n 3_o 25._o unto_o which_o as_o it_o be_v the_o blood_n of_o god_n act._n 20_o 28._o faith_n relate_v with_o a_o

come_v in_o my_o mind_n the_o same_o night_n when_o i_o come_v at_o my_o lodging_n i_o look_v for_o it_o and_o the_o first_o bible_n i_o open_v render_v it_o express_o a_o sin_n offer_v and_o so_o

assertion_n irrefragable_a viz._n the_o blood_n of_o christ_n therefore_o a_o proper_a sacrifice_n because_o purgative_a etc._n etc._n now_o lest_o he_o shall_v avoid_v these_o two_o argument_n as_o he_o seem_v to_o endeavour_n by_o make_v they_o only_o previous_a action_n to_o the_o offering_n and_o present_v of_o his_o person_n in_o heaven_n this_o may_v be_v fair_o firm_o and_o brief_o

own_o body_n and_o blood_n according_a to_o the_o clear_a conception_n of_o the_o most_o catholic_a doctor_n in_o the_o church_n of_o christ_n than_o these_o action_n can_v never_o in_o common_a
