A16691 The rasing of the foundations of Brovvnisme Wherein, against all the writings of the principall masters of that sect, those chiefe conclusions in the next page, are, (amongst sundry other matters, worthie the readers knowledge) purposely handled, and soundely prooued. Also their contrarie arguments and obiections deliberately examined, and clearly refelled by the word of God. Bredwell, Stephen. 1588 (1588) STC 3599; ESTC S106388 120,820 166

of_o this_o scripture_n you_o must_v depart_v from_o the_o sacrament_n where_o you_o see_v unworthy_a one_o admit_v for_o so_o you_o account_v the_o whole_a congregation_n to_o be_v leaven_a that_o
