A42574	The primitive fathers no papists in answer to the Vindication of the Nubes testium : to which is added an historical discourse concerning invocation of saints, in answer to the challenge of F. Sabran the Jesuit, wherein is shewn that invocation of saints was so far from being the practice, that it was expresly [sic] against the doctrine of the primitive fathers.	Gee, Edward, 1657-1730.	1688 (1688)	Wing G459; ESTC R18594	102,715	146

will_v not_o do_v his_o business_n and_o be_v not_o to_o the_o purpose_n and_o thereupon_o challenge_v he_o to_o produce_v father_n for_o that_o point_n promise_v he_o at_o the_o same_o time_n a_o
