Published by Mr. Humphrey minister of Froome in Somersetshire. Which humble vindication, though it profess much of piety and conscience, yet upon due triall and examination, is found worthy of suspension, if not of a greater censure. By Roger Drake minister of Peters Cheap London.	R. D. (Roger Drake), 1608-1669.	1653 (1653)	Wing D2129; Thomason E1314_2; ESTC R209198	85,461	218

1._o that_o if_o the_o ordinance_n be_v primary_o mean_v of_o grace_n they_o must_v needs_o be_v primary_o mean_v of_o conversion_n and_o confirmation_n since_o primary_n conversion_n be_v nothing_o
