Boquine a Frenchman, borne in Borges, & Professor of Diuinitie, in the Vniuersitie of Heidelberge: Translated into Englishe by T. G. Whereby maye bee perceiued, howe falslye the Iesuites vsurpe the name of Iesus, and how farre off they are, from the thing signified thereby, and what their profession, and purpose is in truth: otherwise then they beare the worlde in hande.; Assertio veteris ac veri Christianismi adversus novum et fictum Iesuitismum seu Societatem Iesu.

from_o the_o doctrine_n and_o religion_n of_o these_o upstarte_n and_o which_o can_v not_o judge_v find_v how_o unlike_o our_o cause_n be_v to_o the_o donatist_n it_o be_v marvel_n if_o they_o know_v
