A57976	A peaceable and temperate plea for Pauls presbyterie in Scotland, or, A modest and brotherly dispute of the government of the Church of Scotland wherein our discipline is demonstrated to be the true apostolick way of divine truth, and the arguments on the contrary are friendly dissolved, the grounds of separation and the indepencie [sic] of particular congregations, in defence of ecclesiasticall presbyteries, synods, and assemblies, are examined and tryed / by Samuell Rutherfurd ...

wicked_a but_o the_o apostle_n speak_v not_o of_o the_o office_n but_o the_o officer_n and_o the_o praiseworthy_a exercise_n of_o the_o office_n the_o elder_n who_o rule_v well_o be_v worthy_a of_o
