A27014	Sacrilegious desertion of the holy ministery rebuked, and tolerated preaching of the gospel vindicated, against the reasonings of a confident questionist, in a book called Toleration not abused; with counsil to the nonconformists, and petition to the pious conformists / by one that is consecrated to the sacred ministry, and is resolved not to be a deserter of it ...

that_o never_o rule_v the_o church_n as_o one_o by_o themselves_o but_o only_o by_o representative_n i_o confess_v easy_o that_o many_o church_n unite_v under_o one_o king_n and_o live_v in_o one_o
