A30255	No sacrilege nor sin to alienate or purchase cathedral lands, as such: or, A vindication of, not onely the late purchasers; but, of the antient nobility and gentry; yea, of the Crown it self, all deeply wounded by the false charge of sacrilege upon new purchasers. By C. Burges, D.D.; Case concerning the buying of bishops lands.	Burges, Cornelius, 1589?-1665.	1660 (1660)	Wing B5676; ESTC R202286	78,792	78
