A88157	An answer to nine arguments. Written by T. B. Wherein is plainly from the scriptures shewed, the weaknesse of his arguments, whereby he undertakes to prove both the Church and Ministry of England true; as likewise describing the nature and properties of a true Church and Ministry. Written long since by that faithfull servant of God and his countrey, John Lilburne Lieftenant [sic] Collonell: and now published for further good, by a well-willer to him and the truth.

be_v that_o it_o do_v not_o therefore_o follow_v because_o some_o in_o the_o church_n of_o england_n have_v be_v save_v that_o have_v use_v your_o worship_n that_o therefore_o it_o be_v true_a

not_o deny_v it_o which_o if_o you_o do_v you_o be_v not_o able_a to_o prove_v it_o that_o in_o the_o papistry_n there_o have_v not_o be_v many_o people_n that_o have_v live_v and_o die_v therein_o that_o have_v be_v save_v for_o the_o scripture_n do_v declare_v that_o god_n have_v a_o people_n there_o which_o he_o call_v upon_o to_o come_v out_o thence_o rev._n 18.4_o for_o he_o own_v his_o
