A56305	The church of Christ in Bristol recovering her vail out of the hands of them that have smitten and wounded her, and taken it away. Being, a just and necessary vindication, from a false and scandalous imputation cast upon her by Dennis Hollister, formerly a member of her, but now an apostate from, and an opposer of those waies, truths, and people, which once he seemed zealous for. As appears by a late pamphlet put forth by him, called, The skirts of the whore discovered. With some particular words, from some particular persons whom he hath by name abused and reproached. Likewise a word by Thomas Ewen, unto what concerns him in the said pamphlet, and also to the later part of another book, called, Satan enthroned in his chair of pestilence.	Purnell, Robert, d. 1666. aut	1657 (1657)	Wing P4232; ESTC R213966	65,602	90

give_v you_o and_o he_o and_o other_o leave_v to_o have_v trample_v upon_o i_o and_o be_v i_o in_o a_o private_a capacity_n i_o think_v i_o shall_v do_v so_o but_o forasmuch_o as_o the_o lord_n have_v set_v i_o as_o a_o public_a instrument_n in_o his_o work_n and_o that_o that_o which_o you_o and_o he_o have_v write_v of_o i_o tend_v much_o to_o the_o defame_n of_o i_o and_o the_o hindrance_n of_o

of_o some_o good_a people_n in_o this_o city_n be_v thereunto_o also_o advise_v and_o persuade_v by_o godly_a friend_n to_o set_v forth_o a_o few_o word_n of_o truth_n and_o soberness_n both_o to_o

i_o find_v that_o he_o have_v often_o join_v you_o with_o i_o therefore_o i_o think_v it_o not_o improper_a to_o coupple_v he_o with_o you_o and_o i_o hope_v that_o neither_o your_o friend_n nor_o
