A86003	Male audis or An answer to Mr. Coleman his Malè dicis. Wherein the repugnancy of his Erastian doctrine to the word of God, to the solemne League and Covenant, and to the ordinances of Parliament: also his contradictions, tergiversations, heterodoxies, calumnies, and perverting of testimonies, are made more apparent then formerly. Together with some animadversions upon Master Hussey his Plea for Christian magistracy: shewing, that in divers of the afore mentioned particulars he hath miscarried as much, and in some particulars more then Mr Coleman. / By George Gillespie, minister at Edinbrugh.

the_o preface_n to_o the_o reader_n as_o i_o do_v not_o begin_v this_o present_a controversy_n so_o i_o do_v not_o desire_v to_o hold_v up_o the_o ball_n of_o contention_n yet_o have_v appear_v in_o

witness_n to_o the_o truth_n whereunto_o i_o be_o so_o much_o the_o more_o encourage_v because_o it_o appear_v already_o in_o this_o debate_n that_o magna_fw-la est_fw-la vis_fw-la veritatis_fw-la

about_o to_o do_v somewhat_o against_o the_o truth_n they_o have_v mire_v themselves_o in_o foul_a error_n yea_o so_o far_o as_o in_o they_o lie_v have_v most_o dangerous_o shake_v and_o endanger_v the_o authority_n of_o magistrate_n who_o be_v god_n vicegerent_n and_o particular_o the_o authority_n of_o parliament_n and_o of_o parliamentary_a ordinance_n they_o have_v stumble_v and_o fall_v

as_o they_o shall_v not_o perceive_v the_o want_n or_o weakness_n of_o argument_n it_o have_v ever_o be_v a_o trick_n of_o adversary_n to_o calumniate_v the_o way_n of_o god_n and_o his_o servant_n
