A27589	Christianity, the great mystery in answer to a late treatise, Christianity not mysterious, that is, not above, not contrary to reason : in opposition to which is asserted Christianity is above created reason in its pure estate and contrary to humane reason as fallen and corrupted, and therefore, in proper sense mystery : together with a post[s]cript letter to the author on his second edition enlarg'd / by T.B.	Beverley, Thomas.; Toland, John, 1670-1722. Christianity not mysterious.	1696 (1696)	Wing B2131; ESTC R12817	48,779	66
