A89757	A declaration or testimony given by Captain Robert Norwood under his hand, (the which was by him publickly read at a meeting in Ab-church before Mr. Sidrack Simpson together with many others;) April 21. 1651. Together with several his answers and desires, proposed to them for satisfaction after his excommunication; worthy the most serious consideration of all: now brought to publick view for clearing of truth, discovering of error, and his own vindication in reference to many unjust and untrue aspersions cast upon him.

hence_o christ_n test_n the_o scribe_n and_o pharisee_n they_o be_v of_o their_o father_n the_o devil_n and_o his_o work_n they_o do_v who_o be_v a_o liar_n or_o deceiver_n from_o the_o beginning_n
