Also a iust apologie for the way of total separation (commonly but falsely called Brownisme) that it is the truth of God, though lightly esteemed in the eyes of the blinde world.

when_o the_o prelate_n by_o virtue_n of_o his_o power_n bid_v they_o and_o authorize_v they_o to_o preach_v they_o do_v preach_v and_o when_o they_o command_v they_o to_o hold_v their_o peace_n they_o
