A56584	A letter to some divines, concerning the question, whether God since Christ's ascension, doth any more reveal himself to mankind by the means of divine apparitions?

find_v and_o i_o do_v sincere_o assure_v every_o christian_a soul_n that_o read_v this_o that_o if_o it_o be_v possible_a to_o have_v find_v any_o real_a or_o material_a objection_n in_o any_o one_o
