A26757	The confession of the faithfull witnesse of Christ, Mr. John Bastwick doctor of physick wherein he doth declare his education and the grounds of his conversion and constancie, in the true professions of Faith : with the reasons wherefore hee became an adversary to our bishops whom he proveth to be the toes of antichrist and dangerous prelates to abide in our church : with a relation of their great pride in setting the kings picture over their dresser in the high commission court, with his hat off and his crown and scepter laid downe before their worships like a delinquent / by Iohn Bastwick...	Bastwick, John, 1593-1654.	1641 (1641)	Wing B1059; ESTC R1532	6,239	9
