A26860	An answer to Mr. Dodwell and Dr. Sherlocke, confuting an universal humane church-supremacy aristocratical and monarchical, as church-tyranny and popery : and defending Dr. Isaac Barrow's treatise against it by Richard Baxter ; preparatory to a fuller treatise against such an universal soveraignty as contrary to reason, Christianity, the Protestant profession, and the Church of England, though the corrupters usurp that title.	Baxter, Richard, 1615-1691.	1682 (1682)	Wing B1184; ESTC R16768	131,071	189

be_v say_v for_o it_o as_o well_o as_o against_o it_o and_o i_o never_o meet_v but_o with_o two_o objection_n which_o seem_v to_o i_o worthy_a of_o much_o further_a search_n one_o be_v that_o see_v

course_n and_o to_o these_o 1._o i_o be_o sure_a that_o christ_n come_v to_o destroy_v the_o work_n of_o the_o devil_n and_o save_v his_o people_n from_o their_o sin_n and_o make_v they_o holy_a a_o

perfection_n therefore_o i_o have_v great_a reason_n to_o suspect_v those_o man_n and_o that_o order_n and_o course_n of_o government_n which_o cherish_v ignorance_n and_o sin_n in_o minister_n and_o people_n and_o hunt_v and_o silence_v faithful_a minister_n and_o suppress_v persecute_v torment_v burn_v the_o most_o conscionable_a christian_n that_o for_o fear_n of_o offend_a god_n disobey_v
