A51288	A brief discourse of the real presence of the body and blood of Christ in the celebration of the Holy Eucharist wherein the witty artifices of the Bishop of Meaux and of Monsieur Maimbourg are obviated, whereby they would draw in the Protestants to imbrace the doctrine of transubstantiation.	More, Henry, 1614-1687.; Wake, William, 1657-1737.	1686 (1686)	Wing M2643; ESTC R25165	52,861	96
