A45370	The private Christian's witness for Christianity to the notional and erroneous apprehensions of the Arminian, Socinian, and Deist of the age : with the easy and true means leading the prophane, meer professor, and lazy Christian, to the same experience, as preservative against the infection of each, and against the ill example of the practical blemishes in lazy Christians conversation.	Hamilton, David, Sir, 1663-1721.	1697 (1697)	Wing H477; ESTC R9357	136,639	289
