A45157	A second discourse about re-ordination being an answer to two or three books come out against this subject, in behalf of the many concern'd at this season, who for the sake of their ministry, and upon necessity, do yield to it, in defence of their submission / by John Humfrey, min. ; together, with his testimony, which from the good hand of the Lord, is laid upon himself, to bear, in this generation, against the evil, and to prevent, or repress (as much as by him may be possible) the danger, of the imposition.	Humfrey, John, 1621-1719.	1662 (1662)	Wing H3709; ESTC R9881	127,714	152

nothing_o leave_v he_o hardly_o to_o stand_v upon_o in_o the_o controversy_n before_o i_o pass_v let_v i_o here_o humble_o lie_v down_o a_o caution_n i_o will_v not_o have_v any_o offer_n to_o think_v
