A94737	Romanism discussed, or, An answer to the nine first articles of H.T. his Manual of controversies. Whereby is manifested, that H.T. hath not (as he pretends) clearly demonstrated the truth of the Roman religion by him falsly called Catholick, by texts of holy scripture, councils of all ages, Fathers of the first five hundred years, common sense, and experience, nor fully answered the principal objections of protestants, whom he unjustly terms sectaries. By John Tombes, B.D. And commended to the world by Mr. Richard Baxter.	Tombes, John, 1603?-1676.	1660 (1660)	Wing T1815; Thomason E1051_1; ESTC R208181	280,496	251

be_v such_o disparity_n between_o a_o natural_a body_n and_o a_o mystical_a as_o be_v sufficient_a to_o show_v the_o weakness_n of_o this_o argue_v as_o namely_o that_o there_o be_v no_o part_n

be_v christ_n only_o and_o not_o the_o bishop_n of_o rome_n 3._o this_o similitude_n if_o by_o head_n be_v mean_v the_o pope_n can_v evince_v the_o purpose_n of_o this_o author_n for_o there_o have_v
