A32889 The Christian belief wherein is asserted and proved, that as there is nothing in the Gospel contrary to reason, yet there are some doctrines in it above reason, and these being necessarily enjoyn'd us to believe, are properly call'd mysteries : in answer to a book intituled, Christianity not mysterious. Cheynell, Francis, 1608-1665. 1696 (1696) Wing C3941; ESTC R212988 55,473 162
