A64146 An answer to a book entituled An account of the Church Catholike where it was before the Reformation; and whether Rome were or be the Church Catholike.

contrary_a to_o the_o opinion_n of_o the_o world_n be_v that_o the_o soul_n of_o the_o just_a shall_v not_o see_v god_n before_o the_o resurrection_n this_o opinion_n be_v far_o from_o heresy_n the_o
