A91322 Dissertatio de pace, &c. Or, A discourse touching the peace & concord of the Church. Wherein is elegantly and acutely argued, that not so much a bad opinion, as a bad life, excludes a Christian out of the kingdom of heaven; and that the things necessary to be known for the attainment of salvation, are very few and easie: and finally, that those, who pass amongst us under the name of hereticks, are notwithstanding to be tolerated.; Dissertatio de pace. English Przypkowski, Samuel, 1592-1670.; Biddle, John, 1615-1662, 1653 (1653) Wing P4133; Thomason E1495_1; ESTC R203302 40,192 82
