B04844	The case considered & resolved: whether Mr. Brooks his pills to purge malignants were prescribed from ignorance, malice, or both, or, (Mr Tho. Brooks his inside turn'd outward). Wherein all godly, humble, and ingenious Christians, whether in a congregational way or other, are concerned, to inquire into the truth ... presented in generall to the inhabitants of Margarets New Fish-street, but more particularly for the consideration of himself, and those of his congregation ... also friendly advice to an unfriendly neighbour, desiring him for the time to come to abstain from reviling such persons as he never spake word to, nor they to him. / By Richard Parham, a parishoner of the said parish.

to_o hear_v they_o 2._o whether_o it_o be_v not_o more_o reasonable_a for_o i_o to_o send_v the_o gentleman_n a_o answer_n to_o his_o book_n then_o for_o he_o to_o send_v i_o a_o paper_n of_o his_o

straighten_a in_o time_n and_o have_v not_o a_o conveniency_n to_o answer_v to_o every_o particular_a which_o he_o call_v reason_n especial_o that_o profane_a person_n ought_v not_o to_o be_v admit_v into_o a_o church_n society_n and_o instance_n in_o the_o case_n of_o judas_n for_o the_o understanding_n whereof_o i_o desire_v to_o know_v whether_o christ_n and_o his_o disciple_n be_v a_o church_n before_o the_o administration_n of_o the_o sacrament_n of_o the_o supper_n luke_n 22.19_o if_o they_o be_v then_o certainle_fw-mi judas_n be_v a_o member_n though_o a_o wicked_a one_o but_o for_o

whether_o he_o act_v in_o the_o ministerial_a office_n as_o god_n or_o man_n when_o all_o will_v grant_v that_o christ_n be_v master_n and_z peter_z but_o servant_n but_o that_o point_n of_o the_o
