A29750	The history of the indulgence shewing its rise, conveyance, progress, and acceptance : together with a demonstration of the unlawfulness thereof and an answere to contrary objections : as also, a vindication of such as scruple to hear the indulged / by a Presbyterian.

of_o the_o outted_a minister_n as_o have_v n._n b._n live_v peaceable_a and_o orderly_a in_o the_o place_n where_o thy_o have_v reside_v i_o shall_v be_v far_o from_o say_v that_o minister_n shall_v

in_o minister_n and_o consequent_o that_o the_o apostle_n and_o primitive_a minister_n who_o neither_o can_v nor_o will_v have_v live_v so_o peacablie_o in_o reference_n to_o the_o heathen_a emperor_n
