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

and_o dignity_n of_o a_o minister_n as_o i_o have_v before_o declare_v but_o you_o know_v that_o this_o be_v a_o nail_n that_o will_v go_v and_o therefore_o you_o strick_v here_o and_o be_v not_o this_o such_o another_o piece_n of_o envy_n and_o hypocrisy_n as_o poor_a mris._n prince_n do_v manifest_a when_o she_o come_v to_o rail_v at_o i_o and_o reproach_v i_o at_o my_o lecture_n at_o

after_o much_o bitter_a revile_n against_o i_o call_v to_o the_o people_n and_o bid_v they_o to_o beware_v of_o i_o for_o she_o have_v hear_v i_o say_v i_o have_v not_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n
