A44852 The Puritan convert, not to prelatick Protestantism and yet to prelatick Protestantism, nor to popery and yet to popery, but absolutely and without reserve to apostolical Christianity ..., or, A discourse by way of a letter shewing that prelatick Protestants, if they will be true to their practises and principles, have all reason to turn papists in all things as to what papists indeed hold, but in nothing as to what papists are vulgarly believed to hold ... / by W.

though_o go_v into_o all_o the_o christian_a country_n of_o the_o world_n and_o you_o will_v not_o find_v one_o before_o luther_n but_o say_v they_o have_v immemorial_o from_o the_o time_n of_o the_o

hence_o half-witted_a people_n that_o have_v often_o hear_v that_o papist_n worship_n image_n as_o god_n do_v real_o think_v they_o pray_v to_o the_o picture_n they_o kneel_v to_o god_n almighty_a
