A12703	The high vvay to Heaven by the cleare light of the Gospell cleansed of a number of most dangerous stumbling stones thereinto throwen by Bellarmine and others In a treatise made vpon the 37. 38. and 39. verses of the 7. of Iohn: wherein is so handled the most sweete and comfortable doctrine of the true vnion and communication of Christ and his Church, and the contrarie is so confuted, as that not onely thereby also summarilie and briefly, and yet plainly all men may learne rightly to receiue the sacrament of Christs blessed bodie and blood, but also how to beleeue and to liue to saluation. And therefore entitled The highway to Heauen. By Thomas Sparke Doctor of Diuinitie.	Sparke, Thomas, 1548-1616.	1597 (1597)	STC 23021; ESTC S102434	161,682	384

in_o both_o those_o chapter_n for_o that_o they_o neither_o of_o they_o have_v any_o sound_n or_o true_a faith_n they_o be_v never_o the_o better_a but_o the_o worse_a for_o that_o to_o their_o

that_o we_o understand_v not_o that_o as_o speak_v of_o the_o essence_n or_o be_v of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n lest_o we_o fall_v into_o the_o heresy_n of_o the_o nacedonians_n who_o deny_v the_o
