A49183	An apology for the ministers who subscribed only unto the stating of the truths and errours in Mr. William's book shewing, that the Gospel which they preach, is the old everlasting Gospel of Christ, and vindicating them from the calumnies, wherewith they (especially the younger sort of them) have been unjustly aspersed by the letter from a minister in the city, to a minister in the countrey.	Lorimer, William, d. 1721.	1694 (1694)	Wing L3073; ESTC R22599	321,667	222

faith_n of_o the_o same_o common_a principle_n of_o christian_a religion_n but_o if_o our_o author_n mean_v the_o second_o to_o wit_n that_o the_o godliness_n of_o his_o party_n begin_v with_o the_o faith_n of_o certain_a principle_n proper_a and_o peculiar_a to_o they_o as_o a_o party_n distinct_a from_o all_o other_o society_n of_o christian_n we_o can_v by_o no_o mean_n approve_v of_o their_o
