A56305	The church of Christ in Bristol recovering her vail out of the hands of them that have smitten and wounded her, and taken it away. Being, a just and necessary vindication, from a false and scandalous imputation cast upon her by Dennis Hollister, formerly a member of her, but now an apostate from, and an opposer of those waies, truths, and people, which once he seemed zealous for. As appears by a late pamphlet put forth by him, called, The skirts of the whore discovered. With some particular words, from some particular persons whom he hath by name abused and reproached. Likewise a word by Thomas Ewen, unto what concerns him in the said pamphlet, and also to the later part of another book, called, Satan enthroned in his chair of pestilence.	Purnell, Robert, d. 1666. aut	1657 (1657)	Wing P4232; ESTC R213966	65,602	90

have_v be_v since_o lay_v aside_o for_o scandal_n and_o insufficiency_n by_o other_o committee_n and_o commissioner_n appoint_v for_o that_o purpose_n yet_o i_o think_v england_n have_v cause_n

as_o messenger_n of_o the_o church_n do_v admonish_v you_o of_o namely_o that_o you_o shall_v say_v that_o the_o scripture_n be_v a_o blind_a and_o plague_v to_o soul_n which_o thing_n you_o do_v
