A47151	The heresie and hatred which was falsly charged upon the innocent justly returned upon the guilty giving some brief and impartial account of the most material passages of a late dispute in writing that hath passed at Philadelphia betwixt John Delavall and George Keith : with some intermixt remarks and observations on the whole.	Keith, George, 1639?-1716.; Delavall, John, d. 1693.	1693 (1693)	Wing K174; ESTC R14236	18,275	24
