A27014 Sacrilegious desertion of the holy ministery rebuked, and tolerated preaching of the gospel vindicated, against the reasonings of a confident questionist, in a book called Toleration not abused; with counsil to the nonconformists, and petition to the pious conformists / by one that is consecrated to the sacred ministry, and is resolved not to be a deserter of it ... Baxter, Richard, 1615-1691. 1672 (1672) Wing B1380; ESTC R5946 61,174 146

improve_v your_o converse_n i._o often_o meet_v for_o fast_v and_o prayer_n to_o lament_v our_o former_a and_o late_a sin_n and_o to_o pray_v for_o the_o church_n of_o christ_n and_o for_o all_o man_n for_o the_o king_n and_o all_o in_o authority_n that_o we_o may_v live_v a_o quiet_a and_o peaceable_a life_n in_o all_o godliness_n and_o honesty_n ii_o set_v up_o constant_a regular_a disputation_n

and_o this_o with_o school_n order_n under_o moderation_n because_o 1._o too_o many_o of_o we_o be_v young_a and_o unstudy_v in_o these_o matter_n and_o little_a fit_a to_o deal_v with_o the_o
