A28220	An answer to a treatise out of ecclesiastical history translated from an ancient Greek manuscript in the publick library at Oxford by Humfrey Hody ... and published under the title of The unreasonableness of a separation from the new bishops, to shew that although a bishop was unjustly deprived, neither he nor the church ever made a separation, if the successor was not an heretick : to which is added, the canons in the Baroccian manuscript omitted by Mr. Hody.	Bisbie, Nathaniel, 1635-1695.; Browne, Thomas, 1654?-1741.	1691 (1691)	Wing B2980; ESTC R18575	41,921	46
