A01730	A plaine declaration that our Brownists be full Donatists by comparing them together from point to point out of the writings of Augustine. Also a replie to Master Greenwood touching read prayer, wherein his grosse ignorance is detected, which labouring to purge himselfe from former absurdities, doth plunge himselfe deeper into the mire. By George Gyffard minister of Gods word in Maldon.	Gifford, George, d. 1620.	1590 (1590)	STC 11862; ESTC S118453	101,969	166

concern_v read_v prayer_n peruse_v it_o through_o and_o then_o judge_v whether_o i_o have_v charge_v he_o wrongful_o in_o any_o matter_n i_o do_v lament_v that_o many_o of_o our_o people_n which_o

which_o i_o desire_v they_o to_o consider_v one_o be_v that_o they_o be_v carry_v away_o with_o many_o true_a and_o notable_a sentence_n of_o scripture_n &_o worthy_a principle_n which_o the_o
