A31245	The truth and excellence of the Christian religion, with the corruptions and additions of the Romish Church a discourse, wherein the pre-eminence of Christianity is demonstrated above the religion of Jews or heathens, and the contradiction of popery to its main articles : and that religion prov'd in many instances to be a mixture of heathenish superstitions, and Jewish ceremonies : with a short vindication of Christian loyalty, and a brief historical account of Romish treasons and usurpations, since the Reformation / by a hearty professor of Reformed Catholick Christianity.

of_o our_o devotion_n from_o heaven_n these_o the_o heathen_n divide_v into_o two_o sort_n such_o as_o be_v too_o pure_a to_o inform_v a_o body_n and_o such_o as_o be_v the_o soul_n of_o decease_a
