A36890	A few vvords of truth from the spirit of truth to all who are convinced of the truth, and stand in opposition to the cross ... also a few words to all the litteral professors, who can own the ministration of Christ without them but deny him within them and to those that have their dependance upon the teaching of men, in oppostion to the ministration of the spirit within : together with a short discovery of the Presbyterian government, and some reasons of dissenting from it / William Dundas.

it_o to_o i_o in_o the_o mean_a time_n my_o correspondent_a gawen_v lawry_n merchant_n of_o london_n according_a to_o order_n send_v i_o a_o box_n with_o about_o three_o pound_v sterling_n worth_n
