A88157	An answer to nine arguments. Written by T. B. Wherein is plainly from the scriptures shewed, the weaknesse of his arguments, whereby he undertakes to prove both the Church and Ministry of England true; as likewise describing the nature and properties of a true Church and Ministry. Written long since by that faithfull servant of God and his countrey, John Lilburne Lieftenant [sic] Collonell: and now published for further good, by a well-willer to him and the truth.

my_o sorrow_n for_o you_o to_o see_v you_o who_o be_v so_o mighty_a a_o champion_n as_o you_o boast_v yourself_o to_o be_v to_o reason_n so_o shallow_o and_o unground_o for_o if_o your_o argument_n

already_o prove_v ergo._n they_o be_v true_a visible_a church_n deny_v any_o part_n of_o the_o argument_n if_o you_o can_v and_o prove_v against_o it_o but_o for_o the_o proof_n of_o your_o argument_n
