portunity of seeing a small tract written by a Roman Catholic clergyman , of the name of Ohalloner , entitled , * A short History of the ; First Beginning and Progress of the Protestant Religion , gathered out of the best Protestant Writers , by way

whose names are in great danger of being irrecoverably last /' None of our readers , perhaps , can furnish a perfect list ; yet if they who have lists will favor us with them as far as they go , we may , possibly , out of several imperfect ones , gather pnp that ghall be complete .
