A43822 Nevv lords, nevv lavvs, or, A discovery of a grand usurpation, in opposition to the Holy Laws of God and contempt of the good laws, and royal prerogative of the supream magistrate, as it hath been lately practised by the lordly Matthew Caffin, a pretended true apostle of our blessed Lord and Saviour, and ruling head of his congregation, usually meeting at Southwater near Horsham in Sussex.

if_o as_o you_o say_v by_o usurpation_n she_o be_v now_o come_v a_o whore_n and_o her_o officer_n none_o of_o christ_n minister_n then_o i_o infer_v that_o usurpation_n be_v a_o damnable_a sin_n for_o

sin_n only_o which_o be_v commit_v under_o the_o high_a degree_n of_o save_a mean_n to_o wit_n god_n by_o his_o holy_a spirit_n and_o word_n oppose_v and_o the_o person_n persevere_v in_o his_o
