A13025 A generall treatise against poperie and in defence of the religion by publike authoritie professed in England and other churches reformed. VVherein they that either want leisure to read, or that haue not iudgement to conceiue, or that are not able to buie the learned treatises of other concerning particular points of religion, may yet euidently see poperie not to be of God, and our religion to be acceptable in his sight. Very necessarie for these times, for the confirmation and strengthening of men in our religion, that neither by Iesuits, nor by any other, they may be drawne to poperie, or any other heresie or sect: and likewise for the winning of Papists and atheists to an vnfained liking and true profession of our religion. By Thomas Stoughton minister of the word Stoughton, Thomas. 1598 (1598) STC 23316; ESTC S113794 180,055 360

repentance_n before_o the_o lord_n judg._n 20._o 26._o now_o the_o sin_n of_o the_o israelite_n for_o which_o they_o receive_v such_o a_o double_a foil_n appear_v by_o the_o text_n to_o have_v be_v

they_o have_v not_o only_o warrant_v from_o god_n to_o go_v again_o to_o battle_n but_o also_o a_o promise_n of_o victory_n now_o if_o these_o sin_n be_v so_o dangerous_a to_o a_o good_a and_o just_a

yet_o all_o be_v but_o in_o policy_n they_o practise_v only_o the_o precept_n of_o curse_a machivel_n and_o therefore_o if_o any_o change_n shall_v come_v which_o the_o god_n of_o heaven_n keep_v
