A90682	The Christians rescue from the grand error of the heathen, (touching the fatal necessity of all events) and the dismal consequences thereof, which have slily crept into the church. In several defences of some notes, writ to vindicate the primitive and scriptural doctrine of Gods decrees. By Thomas Pierce rector of Brington in Northamptonshire.

the_o apostle_n have_v foresee_v a_o objection_n that_o the_o word_n all_o might_n be_v restrain_v unto_o the_o household_n of_o faith_n he_o prevent_v it_o by_o a_o distinction_n of_o general_a and_o
