B04710	A short brotherly examination of a sermon. At first preached by Mr Salomon Saffery, and after published in print; intituled, Part of a discourse, tending only to invite those that believe in Christ, to be conformable to him by baptisme. But intending to disswade from infant-baptisme. / By Robert Pittillok, a Scottish man.	Pittilloh, Robert, 1621?-1698.	1652 (1652)	Wing P2312A; ESTC R187082	15,814	21
