A93702 Rome ruin'd by VVhite Hall, or, The papall crown demolisht: containing a confutation of the three degrees of popery, viz. papacy, prelacy, and presbitery; answerable to the triple crowne of the three-headed Cerberus the Pope, with his three fold hierarchies aforesaid. With a dispelling of all other dispersed clouds of errour, which doth interpose the clear sun-shine of the Gospel in our horrizon. Wherein the chiefe arguments each of them have, for the vindication of their erronious tenents are incerted, and refuted; with a description of such whem [sic] the true Church of Christ doth consist of: as also how, and by whom, they may be gathered, and governed, according to the will, and appointment of Jesus Christ, and his apostles, in the primative purity thereof. / By Iohn Spittlehouse, assistant to the Marshall Generall of the Army, under the command of his Excellency, the Lord Generall Fairfax. Imprimated by Theod. Jennings, and entred in the Stationers Hall. Spittlehouse, John. 1649 (1649) Wing S5013; Thomason E586_2; ESTC R203633 304,213 396

duty_n ans_fw-fr the_o moral_a law_n be_v perfect_a and_o every_o way_n sufficient_a as_o may_v appear_v by_o the_o general_a content_n thereof_o in_o prescribe_v all_o kind_n of_o duty_n both_o

as_o touch_v the_o duty_n of_o a_o man_n towards_o himself_o both_o because_o nature_n be_v not_o corrupt_v in_o such_o duty_n but_o that_o a_o man_n still_o retain_v love_n to_o himself_o as_o it_o
