A95413	The doubting conscience resolved. In answer to a (pretended) perplexing question, &c. Wherein is evidently proved, that the holy Scriptures (not the pope) is the foundation whereupon the Church is built. Or, That a Christian may be infallibly certain of his faith and religion by holy Scriptures. By William Tvvisse D.D. Prolocutor of the Assembly of Divines. Written at the desire of Samuel Hartlib, Esquire, for the satisfaction of his friends beyond the seas; and now divulged in print for more publick edification.

their_o obedience_n but_o god_n have_v go_v forward_a rather_o than_o backward_o in_o the_o course_n of_o administration_n of_o his_o grace_n we_o do_v not_o say_v there_o be_v a_o mere_a blindness_n
