A46371 The reflections of the reverend and learned Monsieur Jurieu, upon the strange and miraculous exstasies of Isabel Vincent, the shepardess of Saov in Dauphiné who ever since February last hath sung psalms, prayed, preached, and prophesied about the present times in her trances : as also upon the wonderful and portentous trumpetings and singing of psalms that were heard by thousands in the air, in many parts of France, in the year 1686 : taken out of the pastoral letters of the 1st and 15th day of October last : to which is added, A letter of a gentleman in Dauphiné, to a friend of His in Geneva, containing the discourses and prophesies of the shepherdess / all faithfully translated out of the French copies ... Jurieu, Pierre, 1637-1713. 1689 (1689) Wing J1212; ESTC R14047 30,643 66

nature_n last_o of_o all_o the_o doctrine_n teach_v aught_o to_o be_v to_o we_o a_o infallible_a touchstone_n to_o judge_v of_o miracle_n for_o we_o believe_v and_o have_v good_a reason_n to_o
