A17308	Truth's triumph ouer Trent: or, the great gulfe betweene Sion and Babylon That is, the vnreconcileable opposition betweene the Apostolicke Church of Christ, and the apostate synagogue of Antichrist, in the maine and fundamentall doctrine of iustification, for which the Church of England Christs spouse, hath iustly, through Gods mercie, for these manie yeares, according to Christs voyce, separated her selfe from Babylon, with whom from henceforth she must hold no communion.

for_o all_o now_o though_o this_o ground_n be_v most_o false_a and_o absurd_a yet_o his_o whole_a chapter_n tend_v to_o prove_v that_o because_o upon_o the_o necessity_n of_o perseverance_n the_o
