A64555	Animadversions upon a late treatise, entituled The Protestant reconciler, humbly pleading for condescention to dissenting brethren in things indifferent and unnecessary for the sake of peace and shewing how unreasonable it is to make such things the necessary conditions of communion by a well-wisher to the churches peace, and a lamenter of her sad divisions.	S. T. (Samuel Thomas), 1627-1693.	1683 (1683)	Wing T971; ESTC R17255	66,638	174
