A69535	The grand debate between the most reverend bishops and the Presbyterian divines appointed by His Sacred Majesty as commissioners for the review and alteration of the Book of common prayer, &c. : being an exact account of their whole proceedings : the most perfect copy.

can_v be_v imagine_v just_o to_o hinder_v we_o from_o a_o ready_a compliance_n to_o this_o method_n of_o service_n appoint_v by_o they_o and_o so_o live_v in_o unity_n reply_n prayer_n and_o
