A51289	A brief reply to a late answer to Dr. Henry More his Antidote against idolatry Shewing that there is nothing in the said answer that does any ways weaken his proofs of idolatry against the Church of Rome, and therefore all are bound to take heed how they enter into, or continue in the communion of that church as they tender their own salvation.	More, Henry, 1614-1687.	1672 (1672)	Wing M2645; ESTC R217965	188,285	386

and_o be_v a_o kind_n of_o tacit_n insinuation_n that_o they_o be_v indeed_o idolater_n but_o not_o express_a one_o as_o if_o their_o hypocrisy_n can_v avail_v any_o thing_n with_o god_n or_o free_v
