A01730	A plaine declaration that our Brownists be full Donatists by comparing them together from point to point out of the writings of Augustine. Also a replie to Master Greenwood touching read prayer, wherein his grosse ignorance is detected, which labouring to purge himselfe from former absurdities, doth plunge himselfe deeper into the mire.

between_o the_o donatist_n and_o they_o then_o further_o he_o come_v to_o this_o point_n that_o as_o christ_n the_o head_n be_v to_o be_v seek_v for_o and_o know_v only_o in_o the_o canonical_a scripture_n so_o the_o church_n which_o be_v his_o body_n be_v likewise_o to_o be_v seek_v for_o find_v out_o and_o judge_v only_o by_o the_o same_o book_n of_o scripture_n then_o he_o call_v for_o

testimony_n which_o also_o he_o allege_v out_o of_o many_o book_n both_o of_o the_o old_a and_o new_a testament_n to_o prove_v that_o the_o church_n shall_v be_v spread_v over_o all_o the_o kingdom_n and_o nation_n of_o the_o world_n he_o answer_v the_o place_n of_o scripture_n which_o they_o allege_v to_o prove_v that_o the_o world_n at_o sundry_a time_n have_v so_o fall_v away_o from_o god_n that_o a_o very_a few_o true_a worshipper_n remain_v and_o why_o may_v not_o they_o be_v now_o as_o those_o few_o he_o show_v that_o there_o be_v innumerable_a testimony_n to_o prove_v that_o the_o open_a bad_a do_v communicate_v together_o with_o the_o good_a in_o the_o sacrament_n and_o that_o the_o good_a be_v few_o in_o comparison_n of_o the_o bad_a so_o mix_v with_o they_o of_o which_o after_o he_o have_v cite_v many_o he_o come_v at_o the_o last_o as_o it_o be_v to_o a_o conclusion_n that_o all_o other_o thing_n remoove_v he_o will_v have_v they_o show_v their_o church_n out_o of_o
