A36890	A few vvords of truth from the spirit of truth to all who are convinced of the truth, and stand in opposition to the cross ... also a few words to all the litteral professors, who can own the ministration of Christ without them but deny him within them and to those that have their dependance upon the teaching of men, in oppostion to the ministration of the spirit within : together with a short discovery of the Presbyterian government, and some reasons of dissenting from it / William Dundas.

it_o to_o i_o in_o the_o mean_a time_n my_o correspondent_a gawen_v lawry_n merchant_n of_o london_n according_a to_o order_n send_v i_o a_o box_n with_o about_o three_o pound_v sterling_n worth_n of_o book_n and_o to_o give_v i_o notice_n of_o it_o to_o call_v for_o they_o in_o a_o ship_n of_o the_o preston_n pannes_n for_o the_o which_o end_n he_o write_v i_o a_o letter_n by_o the_o post_n which_o they_o get_v in_o their_o hand_n i_o never_o knòw_v any_o thing_n of_o it_o till_o i_o go_v to_o visit_v my_o cousin_n preston_n grange_n his_o wife_n tell_v i_o that_o their_o priest_n call_v a_o minister_n one_o john_n oswald_n have_v take_v a_o fox_n full_a of_o book_n from_o a_o ship_n of_o that_o town_n of_o preston_n panne●_n which_o be_v direct_v for_o i_o which_o do_v a_o little_a

against_o those_o which_o they_o call_v sectary_n book_n i_o do_v so_o capitulate_v for_o they_o that_o i_o have_v they_o again_o but_o in_o the_o process_n of_o time_n the_o lord_n order_v it_o so_o that_o when_o the_o english_a come_v into_o scotland_n i_o do_v demand_v my_o book_n from_o the_o say_v oswald_z the_o priest_n which_o do_v not_o a_o little_a sc●re_n he_o and_o he_o to_o save_v his_o own_o head_n tell_v i_o that_o warriston_n have_v they_o by_o order_n of_o the_o commission_n of_o the_o general_n assembly_n from_o who_o i_o desire_v one_o of_o his_o friend_n to_o require_v

reply_v if_o ●e_n will_v not_o be_v active_a in_o seek_v it_o we_o wi●_n be_v active_a in_o do_v it_o and_o so_o i_o stand_v in_o this_o case_n they_o do_v only_o with_o i_o as_o their_o forefather_n the_o priest_n do_v to_o the_o blind_a man_n who_o though_o natural_o blind_a yet_o spiritual_o he_o have_v more_o sight_n than_o themselves_o so_o i_o be_v cast_v out_o by_o they_o christ_n do_v
