A30027	Innocency vindicated and envy rebuked being a brief answer to George Whitehead and John Tysoe, touching John Anslo's proceedings in marriage, whereby their lyes, hypocrisy, and evil suggestion are discovered, and their evidences rejected, who being examined apart agree not in their tale, like their predecessours of old.	Bugg, Francis, 1640-1724?	1684 (1684)	Wing B5371; ESTC R36066	11,254	13

i_o do_v bear_v testimony_n against_o the_o force_n use_v and_o i_o always_o be_v for_o christian_a liberty_n so_o far_o as_o i_o understand_v it_o i_o have_v read_v that_o m._n luther_n who_o be_v
