A77707	Rome's conviction: or, A discoverie of the unsoundness of the main grounds of Rome's religion, in answer to a book, called The right religion, evinced by L.B. Shewing, 1. That the Romish Church is not the true and onely Catholick Church, infallible ground and rule of faith. 2. That the main doctrines of the Romish Church are damnable errors, & therefore to be deserted by such as would be saved. By William Brownsword, M.A. and minister of the Gospel at Douglas Chappell in Lancashire.	Brownsword, William, b. 1625 or 6.	1654 (1654)	Wing B5216; Thomason E1474_2; ESTC R209513	181,322	400

rule_n of_o faith_n as_o such_o can_v be_v consider_v but_o as_o to_o we_o it_o be_v a_o relative_a term_n can_v be_v consider_v without_o relation_n to_o believer_n who_o be_v its_o correlative_a you_o may_v as_o well_o tell_v of_o a_o father_n consider_v in_o himself_o or_o in_o respect_n of_o his_o child_n a_o father_n abstract_n from_o relation_n to_o his_o child_n be_v no_o father_n no_o
