A14095 A discovery of D. Iacksons vanitie. Or A perspective glasse, wherby the admirers of D. Iacksons profound discourses, may see the vanitie and weaknesse of them, in sundry passages, and especially so farre as they tende to the undermining of the doctrine hitherto received. Written by William Twisse, Doctor of Divinitie, as they say, from whom the copie came to the presse Twisse, William, 1578?-1646. 1631 (1631) STC 24402; ESTC S118777 563,516 728

but_o as_o touch_v evil_a action_n there_o we_o make_v man_n alone_o to_o be_v the_o author_n of_o they_o as_o they_o be_v evil_a without_o any_o subordination_n unto_o god_n in_o respect_n of_o any_o
