A47142	George Keith's explications of divers passages contained in his former books as also his free and open retractations of sundry other passages contained in the same, which may at present suffice for a reply to the late, as well as former books of Tho. Elwood, and John Penington, published against me, in respect of the most material things.	Keith, George, 1639?-1716.	1697 (1697)	Wing K163; ESTC R18950	49,736	50
