A56305	The church of Christ in Bristol recovering her vail out of the hands of them that have smitten and wounded her, and taken it away. Being, a just and necessary vindication, from a false and scandalous imputation cast upon her by Dennis Hollister, formerly a member of her, but now an apostate from, and an opposer of those waies, truths, and people, which once he seemed zealous for. As appears by a late pamphlet put forth by him, called, The skirts of the whore discovered. With some particular words, from some particular persons whom he hath by name abused and reproached. Likewise a word by Thomas Ewen, unto what concerns him in the said pamphlet, and also to the later part of another book, called, Satan enthroned in his chair of pestilence.

the_o seventy_o disciple_n and_o twelve_o apostle_n do_v preach_v long_o before_o the_o day_n of_o pentecost_n etc._n etc._n he_o likewise_o demand_n who_o will_v step_v forth_o and_o tell_v he_o and_o not_o lie_v that_o the_o spirit_n do_v teach_v they_o to_o understand_v the_o meaning_n of_o the_o word_n justification_n or_o adoption_n etc._n etc._n i_o answer_v if_o none_o but_o such_o as_o
