Cromwell, for ejecting scandalous and ignorant ministers, in the case of Walter Bushnell, clerk, Vicar of Box in the county of Wilts wherein is shewed that both commissioners, ministers, clerk, witnesses have acted as unjustly even as was possible for men to do by such a power, and all under the pretence of godliness and reformation.	Bushnell, Walter, 1609-1667.; Chambers, Humphrey, 1598 or 9-1662. Answer of Humphrey Chambers ... to the charge of Walter Bushnell.	1660 (1660)	Wing B6256; ESTC R6388	126,592	274

now_o when_o i_o consider_v how_o william_n pinchin_n nicholas_n spenser_n and_o obadiah_n cheltenham_n will_v have_v engage_v william_n cottle_n to_o swear_v again_o i_o can_v but_o wonder_v and_o

william_n cottle_n betwixt_o the_o time_n that_o he_o swear_v at_o caln_v 14._o and_o this_o time_n that_o he_o now_o appear_v at_o lavington_n be_v hear_v to_o wish_v that_o his_o tongue_n have_v
