A25619	An Answer to the rector's libel, or, The Bishop's case truly stated shewing, I. that the rector has stated the case disingeniously [sic], II. that the rubrick and canons which he quotes ... do manifestly turn to his own condemnation, III. that the three queries ... upon which he builds the whole resolution, are (modestly speaking) impertinently put, and falsly, or impertinently resolv'd.		1694 (1694)	Wing A3440; ESTC R41255	13,459	26
