A36241	A defence of the vindication of the deprived bishops wherein the case of Abiathar is particularly considered, and the invalidity of lay-deprivations is further proved, from the doctrine received under the Old Testament, continued in the first ages of christianity, and from our own fundamental laws, in a reply to Dr. Hody and another author : to which is annexed, the doctrine of the church of England, concerning the independency of the clergy on the lay-power, as to those rights of theirs which are purely spiritual, reconciled with our oath of supremancy, and the lay-deprivations of the popish bishops in the beginning of the reformation / by the author of the Vindication of the deprived bishops.

therefore_o think_v he_o conscious_a that_o his_o cause_n will_v not_o afford_v a_o answer_n to_o the_o vindicator_n have_v prove_v it_o more_o than_o a_o say_n that_o it_o be_v the_o sense_n not_o
