A67257	Of faith necessary to salvation and of the necessary ground of faith salvifical whether this, alway, in every man, must be infallibility.	Walker, Obadiah, 1616-1699.	1688 (1688)	Wing W404B; ESTC R17217	209,667	252

certitude_n thereof_o as_o long_o as_o they_o be_v not_o certain_a that_o he_o be_v not_o deceive_v neither_o do_v any_o one_o believe_v the_o church_n to_o be_v infallible_a ascertain_v he_o of_o the_o truth_n of_o his_o faith_n if_o he_o believe_v this_o her_o infallibility_n only_o upon_o the_o relation_n of_o his_o pastor_n for_o so_o he_o have_v no_o more_o certainty_n of_o the_o church_n
