A70901	The pillar and ground of truth a treatise shewing that the Roman Chvrch falsly claims to be that church, and the pillar of that truth, mentioned by S.

save_v though_o we_o live_v ungodly_a which_o be_v the_o great_a drift_n of_o too_o many_o doctrine_n wherewith_o the_o world_n be_v trouble_v but_o a_o wonderful_a contrivance_n of_o the_o wisdom_n
