A76988	The arraignment of errour: or, A discourse serving as a curb to restrain the wantonnesse of mens spirits in the entertainment of opinions; and as a compasse, whereby we may sail in the search and finding of truth; distributed into six main questions. Quest. 1. How it may stand with Gods, with Satans, with a mans own ends, that there should be erroneous opinions? Quest. 2. What are the grounds of abounding errours? Quest. 3. Why so many are carried away with errour? Quest. 4. Who those are that are in danger? Quest. 5. What are the examens, or the trials of opinions, and characters of truth? Quest. 6. What waies God hath left in his Word for the suppressing of errour, and reducing of erroneous persons? Under which generall questions, many other necessary and profitable queries are comprized, discussed, and resolved. And in conclusion of all; some motives, and means, conducing to an happy accommodation of our present differences, are subjoyned. / By Samuel Bolton minister of the Word of God at Saviours-Southwark.	Bolton, Samuel, 1606-1654.	1646 (1646)	Wing B3517; Thomason E318_1; ESTC R200547	325,527	388

to_o declare_v it_o be_v a_o good_a way_n and_o a_o way_n for_o we_o to_o walk_v in_o this_o be_v to_o take_v up_o our_o religion_n by_o tradition_n not_o from_o scripture_n the_o papist_n have_v

9.14_o they_o walk_v after_o balaam_n which_o their_o father_n teach_v they_o 2._o but_o second_o admit_v our_o father_n hold_v forth_o these_o thing_n for_o truth_n yet_o they_o hold_v not_o forth_o
