A94166	A Christian, sober & plain exercitation on the two grand practicall controversies of these times; infant baptism and singing of psalms Wherein all the scriptures on both sides are recited, opened and argued, with brevity and tenderness: and whatever hath been largely discussed by others, briefly contracted in a special method for the edification of the saints. By Cuthbert Sidenham, teacher to a church of Christ in Newcastle upon Tine.	Sydenham, Cuthbert, 1622-1654.	1653 (1653)	Wing S6291; Thomason E1443_1; ESTC R209635	113,076	235

sense_n thing_n that_o be_v common_a be_v not_o unclean_a but_o in_o a_o religious_a sense_n what_o be_v common_a be_v adjudge_v unclean_a now_o cornelius_n be_v a_o gentile_a without_o the_o pale_a
