A81232	A vindication of the Lords prayer, as a formal prayer, and by Christ's institution to be used by Christians as a prayer: against the antichristian practice and opinion of some men. Wherein, also their private and ungrounded zeal is discovered, who are very strict for the observation of the Lords Day, and make so light of the Lords prayer. By Meric Casaubon, D.D. one of the prebandaries of C.C. Canterb.	Casaubon, Meric, 1599-1671.; Grotius, Hugo, 1583-1645.	1660 (1660)	Wing C817; Thomason E1921_3; ESTC R209969	43,421	134
