A44701	A view of that part of the late considerations addrest to H.H. about the Trinity which concerns the sober enquiry, on that subject : in a letter to the former friend.	Howe, John, 1630-1705.	1695 (1695)	Wing H3047; ESTC R39277	33,067	106

i_o be_v go_v on_o to_o what_o be_v obvious_a and_o in_o view_n to_o every_o man_n the_o union_n between_o our_o soul_n and_o body_n nor_o be_v i_o solicitous_a to_o find_v this_o a_o exact_a
