A12703	The high vvay to Heaven by the cleare light of the Gospell cleansed of a number of most dangerous stumbling stones thereinto throwen by Bellarmine and others In a treatise made vpon the 37. 38. and 39. verses of the 7. of Iohn: wherein is so handled the most sweete and comfortable doctrine of the true vnion and communication of Christ and his Church, and the contrarie is so confuted, as that not onely thereby also summarilie and briefly, and yet plainly all men may learne rightly to receiue the sacrament of Christs blessed bodie and blood, but also how to beleeue and to liue to saluation. And therefore entitled The highway to Heauen. By Thomas Sparke Doctor of Diuinitie.	Sparke, Thomas, 1548-1616.	1597 (1597)	STC 23021; ESTC S102434	161,682	384

that_o it_o be_v say_v to_o justify_v only_o because_o it_o be_v one_o of_o the_o first_o disposition_n to_o justification_n and_o that_o it_o justifi_v not_o so_o much_o for_o apprenend_v christ_n

whatsoever_o the_o lord_n have_v teach_v or_o tell_v for_o truth_n in_o these_o canonical_a scripture_n we_o be_v most_o firm_o by_o faith_n to_o aslent_a unto_o to_o be_v so_o and_o therefore_o
