A42724 The trvth of the Christian religion proved by the principles, and rules, taught and received in the light of understanding, in an exposition of the articles of faith, commonly called the Apostles Creed : whereby it is made plain to every one endued with reason, what the stedfastnesse of the truth and mercy of God toward mankind is, concerning the attainment of everlasting happinesse, and what is the glory and excellency of the Christian religion, all herethenish idolatry all Turkish, Jewish, athean, and hereticall infidelity. Gill, Alexander, 1597-1642. 1651 (1651) Wing G700; ESTC R39574 492,751 458

every_o side_n shall_v be_v only_o a_o idle_a load_n of_o earth_n and_o water_n moreover_o the_o generation_n of_o all_o the_o mineral_n which_o be_v only_o from_o water_n steam_v up_o in_o vapour_n
