A15734	A dangerous plot discovered By a discourse, wherein is proved, that, Mr: Richard Mountague, in his two bookes; the one, called A new gagg; the other, A iust appeale: laboureth to bring in the faith of Rome, and Arminius: vnder the name and pretence of the doctrine and faith of the Church of England. A worke very necessary for all them which haue received the truth of God in loue, and desire to escape errour. The reader shall finde: 1. A catalogue of his erroneous poynts annexed to the epistle to the reader. 2. A demonstration of the danger of them. cap. 21. num. 7. &c. pag. 178. 3. A list of the heads of all the chapters contained in this booke.	Wotton, Anthony, 1561?-1626.	1626 (1626)	STC 26003; ESTC S120313	151,161	289

much_o as_o if_o it_o have_v say_v the_o decree_n of_o predestination_n be_v eternal_a for_o before_o that_o creation_n there_o be_v no_o duration_n but_o eternity_n but_o our_o church_n mean_v not_o by_o these_o word_n to_o say_v god_n decree_n be_v eternal_a for_o it_o have_v say_v so_o in_o express_a word_n a_o little_a before_o and_o this_o phrase_n of_o speech_n do_v not_o make_v that_o more_o plain_a but_o do_v rather_o more_o obscure_a it_o our_o church_n then_o speak_v of_o god_n decree_n to_o create_v and_o so_o it_o set_v forth_o the_o moment_n wherein_o in_o our_o
