A64702	The church-papist (so-called), his religion and tenets fully discovered in a serious dispute ... whereby the common ... arguments of pretended visibility, succession, universality, &c., of the Roman Church ... are briefly confuted : whereunto is added, a short discourse proving episcopacy to be of divine institution, kingly government of Gods setting up, and the religion of the Church of England, to be the best in the world / by one of the children of the late captivity, 1680.

which_o be_v true_a many_o great_a man_n have_v turn_v heretic_n judas_n change_v from_o a_o apostle_n to_o a_o devil_n so_o it_o be_v the_o easy_a for_o other_o to_o change_v from_o shepherd_n into_o
