A49523	The Lyn persecution: being the case of our brother the Baptist minister there James Marham whose goods have been seized, and himself harrased in law (and is now prosecuted in Chancery) for holding a Baptist meeting in that town, notwithstanding his and the houses legal qualification. Here is also, a brief relation of his former service and sufferings in promoting the great, though much despised docrin [sic] of believers baptism. Well approved and advised by the general elder deceased Thomas Grantham. Attested by the adjacent churches, and directed to the churches at London and the country.	Grantham, Thomas, 1634-1692.	1693 (1693)	Wing L3571AA; ESTC R221783	8,713	16
