A36890	A few vvords of truth from the spirit of truth to all who are convinced of the truth, and stand in opposition to the cross ... also a few words to all the litteral professors, who can own the ministration of Christ without them but deny him within them and to those that have their dependance upon the teaching of men, in oppostion to the ministration of the spirit within : together with a short discovery of the Presbyterian government, and some reasons of dissenting from it / William Dundas.

from_o england_n be_v return_v for_o england_n of_o who_o i_o desire_v passage_n in_o his_o company_n which_o he_o free_o grant_v i_o and_o so_o come_v to_o england_n with_o his_o convoy_n but_o i_o
