The which things are plainly manifested in two certein letters, the one written by Mr. Iohn Davenport to the dutch classis, the other given vp to the English consistorie by some of the brethren. With other briefe passages tending to the same effect. Published by one that much pitties them and prayes dayly for their deliverance. Davenport, John, 1597-1670. 1634 (1634) STC 6311; ESTC S119390 15,142 26
