A14579 A testimonie of the true Church of God confirmed as well by the doctrine as liues of sundry holy men, both patriarkes, and prophetes, and also by the Apostles and their true successours. Wherein is manifestly shewed how that God hath in all ages raysed vp some, yea euen in most horrible darkenesse, which haue beene faithfull stewards, and true dispencers of his will, with a catalogue of their names. Translated out of French by William Phiston.; Discours sur le dénombrement des docteurs de l'Église de Dieu. English Devoyon, Simon.; Phiston, William. 1585 (1585) STC 24891; ESTC S119337 98,293 180
