A51289	A brief reply to a late answer to Dr. Henry More his Antidote against idolatry Shewing that there is nothing in the said answer that does any ways weaken his proofs of idolatry against the Church of Rome, and therefore all are bound to take heed how they enter into, or continue in the communion of that church as they tender their own salvation.	More, Henry, 1614-1687.	1672 (1672)	Wing M2645; ESTC R217965	188,285	386

oblation_n and_o gift_n bring_v to_o they_o this_o taste_n may_v suffice_v to_o let_v the_o reader_n understand_v what_o shre●d_a reasoner_n they_o be_v in_o that_o council_n when_o the_o pope_n
