A75036	A brief apologie for the sequestred clergie. VVherein (among other things) this case of conscience is judiciously handled: whether any minister of the Church of England may (to avoid sequestration) omit the publike use of the liturgie, and submit to the directory. In a letter from a sequestred divine, to Mr. Stephen Marshall.	Allington, John, d. 1682.; Marshall, Stephen, 1594?-1655.	1649 (1649)	Wing A1206; Thomason E537_11; ESTC R204340	21,192	25
