A56405	A revindication set forth by William Parker, in the behalfe of Dr. Drayton deceased, and himself of the possibility of a total mortification of sin in this life: and, of the saints perfect obedience to the law of God: to be the orthodox Protestant doctrine, and no innovations (as they are falsly charged to be) of Dr. Drayton and W. Parker; in an illogicall vindication, wherein the necessity of sins remaining in the best saints as long as they live, and the impossibility of perfect obedience to the law of God, is ignorantly and perversly avouched to to [sic] be the orthodox Protestant doctrine; by one who subscribeth his name John Tendring. ...

of_o the_o day_n vacant_a from_o public_a duty_n in_o private_a read_n prayer_n and_o repetition_n of_o sermon_n etc._n etc._n it_o be_v true_a and_o we_o confess_v it_o that_o the_o foresay_a duty_n
