A33970	A modest plea for the Lords Day or rather the summe of the plea made by divines for the Lords Day as the Christian Sabbath, against those who contend for the old Sabbath of the seventh day, in order from the creation / by J.C., D.D.	Collinges, John, 1623-1690.	1669 (1669)	Wing C5327; ESTC R43109	56,915	142
