A87658	The pretended antidoe [sic] proved poyson: or, The true principles of the Christian & Protestant religion defended, and the four counterfit defenders thereof detected and discovered the names of which are James Allen, Joshua Moodey, Samuell Willard and Cotton Mather, who call themselves ministers of the Gospel in Boston, in their pretended answer to my book, called, The Presbyterian & independent visible churches in New-England, and else-where, brought to the test, &c. And G.K. cleared not to be guilty of any calumnies against these called teachers of New-England, &c. By George Keith.

therefore_o as_o it_o be_v confess_v that_o all_o have_v suffer_v a_o damage_n by_o adam_n fall_n and_o sin_n so_o all_o have_v receive_v a_o benefit_n by_o christ_n death_n and_o the_o parallel_n
