A42146	The searchers for schism search'd, or, Their pretended questions for conscience sake answered wherein is proved that those baptized congregations under laying on of hands are not guilty of schism in separating from them : shewing, in opposition to their threeforld hypothesis, that their church constitution is not true, separation from them proved lawful, the truth and authority of the doctrine about which they separate, vindicated / humbly presented to all concerned [by] J.

by_o no_o rule_n can_v be_v refuse_v but_o aught_o to_o be_v maintain_v and_o hold_v with_o you_o 5._o but_o we_o say_v whatever_o some_o have_v practise_v and_o profess_o agree_v that_o you_o be_v
