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

you_o may_v hold_v it_o safe_a to_o forsake_v we_o and_o this_o he_o will_v do_v out_o of_o my_o own_o word_n because_o forsooth_o i_o confess_v it_o may_v have_v unsound_a &_o corrupt_a member_n
