As also to the brotherly examination of some passages of Mr. Colemans late printed sermon, upon Job 11.20.

VVherein the argumentative part of the controversie is calmely and mildly, without any personall reflections, prosecuted. / By William Hussey, minister of the Gospell, at Chesilhurst in Kent.
