A01730	A plaine declaration that our Brownists be full Donatists by comparing them together from point to point out of the writings of Augustine. Also a replie to Master Greenwood touching read prayer, wherein his grosse ignorance is detected, which labouring to purge himselfe from former absurdities, doth plunge himselfe deeper into the mire.

the_o river_n be_v derive_v from_o the_o fountain_n and_o must_v needs_o be_v such_o as_o it_o be_v so_o those_o that_o be_v ordain_v minister_n be_v like_o the_o stream_n derive_v from_o the_o

handle_v this_o point_n to_o prove_v that_o we_o be_v no_o minister_n of_o christ_n set_v forth_o the_o matter_n thus_o your_o descent_n and_o pedegrée_n be_v in_o few_o degree_n derive_v from_o the_o

the_o head_n and_o the_o member_n they_o put_v the_o father_n and_o the_o child_n for_o the_o stock_n and_o the_o branch_n they_o put_v the_o tree_n and_o the_o bough_n which_o be_v all_o one_o and_o

part_n say_v those_o which_o ordain_v you_o be_v such_o as_o sacrifice_v to_o idol_n and_o traitor_n very_a judass_n you_o be_v their_o child_n and_o like_o they_o the_o other_o part_n say_v those_o that_o ordain_v you_o be_v the_o creature_n of_o antichrist_n you_o receive_v the_o very_a life_n and_o power_n of_o your_o ministry_n from_o they_o you_o be_v their_o child_n and_o so_o the_o child_n of_o the_o pope_n now_o let_v we_o see_v the_o answer_n which_o augustine_n make_v which_o be_v this_o in_o his_o omnibus_fw-la verbis_fw-la tuis_fw-la creatorem_fw-la meum_fw-la caput_fw-la
