How do I find uses of a word in Ecclesiastical Latin?

Question

If I want to find a citation for a word in Classical(-ish) Latin, I might go to the Packhum Corpus, put in the stem, and weed through any spurious results.

But suppose I want to know how (or if) a word was used in specifically Christian Latin. How would I find this?

@Rafael Is there a good/easy way to search the Vulgate, like there is for the Packhum corpus? Even a plain TXT version would be useful (I can then use normal corpus tools on it), but I haven't found such a thing. — Draconis, Sep 15 '18 at 21:20
vulsearch.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/vulsearch not as good as one would expect, but it's a starting point — Rafael, Sep 15 '18 at 21:59
I'm afraid most of such databases are subscription-based - see, instance, apps.brepolis.net/BrepolisPortal/default.aspx (Thesaurus Patrum Latinorum etc.), also brepols.net/Pages/BrowseBySeries.aspx?TreeSeries=LLT-O — Alex B., Sep 16 '18 at 4:39

Google Books search. There is already a vast number of scanned late scholastic and other post-Classical Latin books there.

Is there a way to narrow it down to only Ecclesiastical Latin works?
