A28220	An answer to a treatise out of ecclesiastical history translated from an ancient Greek manuscript in the publick library at Oxford by Humfrey Hody ... and published under the title of The unreasonableness of a separation from the new bishops, to shew that although a bishop was unjustly deprived, neither he nor the church ever made a separation, if the successor was not an heretick : to which is added, the canons in the Baroccian manuscript omitted by Mr. Hody.	Bisbie, Nathaniel, 1635-1695.; Browne, Thomas, 1654?-1741.	1691 (1691)	Wing B2980; ESTC R18575	41,921	46

it_o can_v have_v need_v no_o proof_n to_o they_o and_o since_o he_o be_v force_v to_o be_v at_o so_o much_o pain_n to_o prove_v it_o to_o the_o greek_n themselves_o that_o this_o have_v ever_o be_v

almost_o among_o they_o can_v have_v be_v ignorant_a of_o it_o since_o according_a to_o his_o own_o account_n there_o be_v scarce_o any_o age_n but_o afford_v too_o many_o instance_n of_o the_o
