A21107	The maintenance of the ministery VVherein is plainely declared how the ministers of the Gospell ought to be maintayned: and the true and ancient practise of our Church in this case, shewed to be agreeable to the word of God, and all antiquity. Necessary in these times to be read and considered of all sorts of Christians, but specially of such as liue in townes and citties. By Richard Eburne, minister of the word.
