A55108	A plea for the late accurate and excellent Mr. Baxter and those that speak of the sufferings of Christ as he does. In answer to Mr. Lobb's insinuated charge of Socinianism against 'em, in his late appeal to the Bishop of Worcester, and Dr. Edwards. With a preface directed to persons of all persuasions, to call 'em from frivolous and over-eager contentions about words, on all sides.	Lobb, Stephen, d. 1699.; Baxter, Richard, 1615-1691.	1699 (1699)	Wing P2521; ESTC R217330	67,965	145

the_o suffering_n of_o christ_n can_v not_o be_v a_o judicial_a act_n of_o god_n he_o christ_n can_v not_o be_v condemn_v nor_o can_v sentence_n pass_v upon_o he_o nor_o according_a to_o any_o
