A94351	The fourth principle of Christian religion: or, the foundation doctrine of laying on of hands. Asserted and vindicated by way of answer to such arguments as by Lieutenant Colonel Paul Hobson have been presented against this Gospel ordinance. Affectionately tendred to such enquiring souls as are desirous throughly to forsake Babylon notion an humane tradition, and by universall obedience to follow the lamb in all his righteous appointments. / By Tho. Tillam a minister of Jesus Christ.	Tillam, Thomas.	1655 (1655)	Wing T1165; Thomason E850_9; ESTC R207403	44,938	67
