With occasional reflexions on Mr Calvin, Mr Beza, Mr Zuinglius, Mr Piscator, Mr Rivet, and Mr Rollock: but more especially on Doctor Twisse, and Master Hobbs; against whom, God's purity and his præscience ... with the sincere intention and the general extent of the death of Christ, are finally cleared and made good; and the adversaries absurdities ... are proved against them undeniably, out of their own hand-writings. With an additional advertisement of Mr Baxter's late book entituled The Groatian religion discovered, &c. By Thomas Pierce rector of Brington in Northampon-shire. Pierce, Thomas, 1622-1691. 1658 (1658) Wing P2164; Thomason E950_2; ESTC R210640 233,287 279

to_o sin_n though_o not_o as_o sin_n but_o under_o the_o notion_n and_o appearance_n at_o least_o of_o good_a how_o can_v god_n be_v think_v less_o if_o from_o all_o eternity_n before_o the_o man_n
