A31245	The truth and excellence of the Christian religion, with the corruptions and additions of the Romish Church a discourse, wherein the pre-eminence of Christianity is demonstrated above the religion of Jews or heathens, and the contradiction of popery to its main articles : and that religion prov'd in many instances to be a mixture of heathenish superstitions, and Jewish ceremonies : with a short vindication of Christian loyalty, and a brief historical account of Romish treasons and usurpations, since the Reformation / by a hearty professor of Reformed Catholick Christianity.

change_v a_o piece_n of_o bread_n into_o god_n and_o by_o virtue_n of_o such_o a_o strong_a fancy_n to_o give_v it_o divine_a worship_n be_v a_o instance_n of_o such_o egregious_a folly_n as_o
