A85546	A holy lamp of light: discovering the falacious allegorizing of scriptures, to destroy not only the reallity of the person of Christ, but all other truths, from his conception to his exaltation; the generalll [sic] resurrection, and the generall judgment-day, falsly avowing all to be fulfilled here in this present life. Or a defence against Mr. Royle his reply. / By Iohn Graunt.	Graunt, John, of Bucklersbury.	1650 (1650)	Wing G1593; Thomason E596_9; ESTC R206957	9,446	8
