A36244	A discourse concerning the one altar and the one priesthood insisted on by the ancients in their disputes against schism wherein the ground and solidity of that way of reasoning is explained, as also its applicableness to the case of our modern schismaticks, with particular regard to some late treatises of Mr. Richard Baxter ... / by H.

into_o this_o suspicion_n notwithstanding_o 19_o if_o the_o land_n of_o your_o possession_n be_v unclean_a then_o pass_v you_o over_o unto_o the_o land_n of_o the_o possession_n of_o the_o lord_n

that_o undue_a way_n of_o sanctify_v what_o they_o enjoy_v already_o on_o the_o other_o side_n of_o jordan_n but_o private_a altar_n be_v not_o think_v sufficient_a to_o sanctify_v the_o land_n if_o
