Hall are here answered likewise / written by Tho. Collier ; to which is added A word of reply to Tho. Halls word to Collier and another to John Feriby's [ap]pendix called The pulpit-guard relieved ; with An answer to Richard Sanders's pretended Balm to heal religious wounds, in answer to The pulpit-guard routed : with an humble representation of some few proposals to the honorable committee appointed by the Parliament for propagation of the Gospel.

but_o you_o think_v to_o mend_v it_o with_o this_o because_o the_o scripture_n come_v from_o rome_n but_o if_o by_o the_o hand_n of_o god_n grace_n the_o scripture_n be_v keep_v pure_a in_o rome_n

the_o scripture_n and_o at_o best_a to_o take_v it_o upon_o the_o account_n of_o man_n reduce_v it_o from_o corruption_n i_o must_v tell_v you_o if_o the_o collier_n have_v write_v as_o much_o as_o

of_o a_o unclean_a i_o leave_v to_o the_o reader_n to_o judge_v as_o to_o the_o argument_n you_o confess_v the_o truth_n of_o it_o that_o the_o call_v come_v from_o rome_n but_o you_o restore_v it_o by_o degree_n now_o which_o be_v better_o to_o come_v to_o the_o scripture_n for_o ordination_n ordinance_n etc._n etc._n or_o to_o retain_v that_o which_o be_v antichristian_a i_o leave_v to_o the_o
