A07444	The iudge of heresies one God, one faith, one church, out of which there is no saluation. Excluding all infidells, Mahumetans, Iewes, obstinate papists, and other heretikes of all sorts, and consequently all newters, who conforme themselues onely externally to any religion, from hope of participation of the kingdome of heauen. If they finally persist therein, and returne not to the knowledge and zealous profession of the true faith. By Iohn Merideth, Sub-Deane of Chichester.

from_o the_o inclination_n of_o god_n nature_n unto_o mercy_n and_o that_o therefore_o he_o shall_v save_v all_o or_o at_o the_o least_o more_o than_o h●e_v do_v condemn_v i_o do_v answer_n that_o
