A91718	A revindication of Psalme 105. 15. Touch not mine anointed, &c. from some false glosses, now and heretofore obtruded upon it by Anabaptists: proving that this divine inhibition chiefly concerns subjects: who let them be never so Gods servants, yet are they not Gods anointed as well as kings. Being a reply to a late seditious pamphlet, called A vindication, &c.		1643 (1643)	Wing R1202; Thomason E245_28; ESTC R3804	12,963	16
