The sence of the article of Christ his descension into hell.	Morton, Thomas, 1564-1659.	1609 (1609)	STC 18181; ESTC S103393	25,429	38

matter_n t._n h._n 2_o this_o position_n with_o i_o be_v a_o impregnable_a bulwark_n of_o my_o religion_n viz._n whosoever_o do_v pertinacious_o reject_v any_o point_n of_o faith_n accept_v by_o
