A61448 The spirit of the church-faction detected, in its nature and operations more particularly in the mystery of the convocation-book lately published and exposed to the view and censure of the world by the late Arch-Bishop of Canterbury, and the progress of the faction, and the mischiefs thereof, the late civil war, and our present disappointments.

if_o it_o be_v not_o your_o own_o fault_n but_o to_o all_o this_o instead_o of_o that_o christian_a use_n you_o ought_v to_o have_v make_v of_o it_o you_o add_v another_o fault_n by_o your_o
