A08280	A mirror for the multitude, or Glasse Wherein maie be seene, the violence, the error, the weaknesse, and rash consent, of the multitude, and the daungerous resolution of such, as without regard of the truth, endeaour to sinne and ioyne themselues with the multitude: with a necessary conclusion, that it is not the name, or title of a protestant, christian, or catholicke, but the true imitation of Christ, that maketh a Christian.

with_o the_o multitude_n as_o the_o chief_a refuge_n and_o mean_a of_o our_o safety_n in_o the_o time_n of_o trouble_n wherein_o the_o perilous_a resolution_n of_o such_o as_o intend_v to_o hold_v
