A75886	A fannatick's testimony against swearing; being an ansvver to four books, published by John Tombes, Jeremiah Ives, and Theophilus Brabourne; but more especially to that by Henry Den. By Henry Adis, a baptized believer, undergoing the name of a free-willer; and also most ignomineously by the tongue of infamy, called a fannatick, or a mad man.	Adis, Henry.	1661 (1661)	Wing A583; Thomason E1084_2; ESTC R36719	46,294	50

if_o he_o shall_v think_v to_o make_v any_o rational_a man_n believe_v that_o if_o henry_n adis_n do_v prefer_v jesus_n christ_n above_o or_o before_o john_n the_o baptist_n that_o these_o two_o
