A85411	A post-script, or appendix to a treatise lately published by authority, intituled, Hagio-Mastix, or the scourge of the saints displaid in his colours of ignorance and blood. Being an explication of the third verse of the thirteenth chapter of the prophecie of Zacharie; (the tenour whereof is this: and it shall come to passe, that when any shall yet prophecie, then his father and his mother that begat him shall say unto him, thou shalt not live, for thou speakest lies in the name of the Lord: and his father and his mother that begat him, shall thrust him through when he prophecieth.) According to the analogie of the Sriptures [sic], the scope and exigency of the context, and the sence of the best expositors upon the place. / By John Goodwin a servant of God and men, in the Gospel of Jesus Christ.; Hagiomastix.
