Of the Holy Spirit of God, his impressions and workings on the souls of men. 2. Of divine revelation, mediate and immediate. 3. Of error, heresie, and schism: the nature, kindes, causes, reasons, and dangers thereof: with directions for avoiding the same. All very seasonable for these times. / By R. Sherlock, B D. at Borwick-Hal in Lancashire.	Sherlock, R. (Richard), 1612-1689.	1655 (1655)	Wing S3255; Thomason E858_1; ESTC R203556	215,435	300
