A69679	Popery, or, The principles & positions approved by the Church of Rome (when really believ'd and practis'd) are very dangerous to all and to Protestant kings and supreme powers, more especially pernicious, and inconsistent with that loyalty, which (by the law of nature and scripture) is indispensably due to supreme powers, in a letter to a person of honor / by T.

against_o the_o apostle_n as_o to_o positive_a law_n so_o that_o papist_n may_v take_v as_o many_o oath_n of_o allegiance_n and_o supremacy_n as_o their_o prince_n shall_v please_v yet_o the_o pope_n
