A97067	Truth tried: or, animadversions on a treatise published by the Right Honorable Robert Lord Brook, entituled, The Nature of Truth, its vnion and vnity with the soule. Which (saith he) is one in its essence, faculties, acts; one with truth. By I. W.	Wallis, John, 1616-1703.	1643 (1643)	Wing W615; Thomason E93_21; ESTC R11854	114,623	143

this_o image_n be_v truth_n therefore_o some_o truth_n be_v the_o understanding_n and_o thus_o it_o will_v be_v true_a in_o the_o three_o figure_n and_o beside_o these_o two_o form_n ●_o see_v not_o
