A44852	The Puritan convert, not to prelatick Protestantism and yet to prelatick Protestantism, nor to popery and yet to popery, but absolutely and without reserve to apostolical Christianity ..., or, A discourse by way of a letter shewing that prelatick Protestants, if they will be true to their practises and principles, have all reason to turn papists in all things as to what papists indeed hold, but in nothing as to what papists are vulgarly believed to hold ... / by W.

peradventure_o there_o can_v be_v no_o real_a presence_n of_o christ_n body_n the_o same_o remain_v the_o same_o without_o any_o change_n must_v needs_o be_v the_o same_o but_o if_o there_o be_v any_o
