A41497	The pagans debt and dowry, or, A brief discussion of these questions how far and in what sence such persons of mankinde amongst whom the letter of the Gospel never came are not withstanding bound to believe on Jesus Christ (with some other particulars relating hereunto) : returned by way of answer to a discourse in writing lately sent without name (together with a letter subscribed only T.S.) unto Mr. John Goodwin, the author as yet unknown to him, yer (as appears by the said discourse) a person of worth and learning, and (as he supposeth) a minister of the Gospel / by the said John Goodvvin.

in_o the_o synod_n of_o dort_n express_v themselves_o to_o the_o same_o purpose_n thus_o so_o than_o christ_n die_v for_o all_o man_n that_o all_o and_o every_o one_o by_o the_o mediation_n of_o
