A75896	An admonition given unto Mr. Saltmarsh: wherein his great sinne in writing those pamphlets intituled, A new quære, Smoak in the temple, Groanes for liberty, &c. is plainly laid open before him, and charged upon his conscience. Where also among other things spoken of, the calling of the ministers in the reformed churches, is proved to bee according to the Word of God. Imprimatur, Ja: Cranford.	M. W.; J. D.; S.

to_o be_v consume_v one_o of_o another_o say_v the_o apostle_n gal._n 5.15_o therefore_o he_o be_v careful_a to_o teach_v man_n that_o suppose_v they_o live_v by_o the_o spirit_n of_o christ_n to_o

it_o appear_v unto_o i_o to_o be_v in_o your_o public_a counsel_n and_o writing_n whereof_o now_o to_o discharge_v the_o grievance_n which_o i_o have_v against_o you_o at_o they_o i_o shall_v have_v
