A62284 The reformation of the Church of England justified according to the canons of the Council of Nice, and other general councils, and the tradition of the Catholick Church being an answer to a paper reprinted at Oxford, called (The schism of the Church of England) demonstrated in four arguments, formerly proposed to Dr. Gunning and Dr. Pearson the late bishops of Ely and Chester, by two Catholick disputants, in a celebrated conference upon that point : in which answer the unworthy and false dealings of the papists are shewed, and the charge of schism returned upon them, and the Church of England proved truly Catholick and apostolick in her doctrine and constitution / by Dr. Saywell.

and_o this_o seem_v to_o be_v the_o full_a substance_n and_o design_n of_o the_o first_o argument_n now_o to_o avoid_v all_o doubt_n and_o enter_v into_o dispute_n about_o foreign_a church_n who_o
