A88157	An answer to nine arguments. Written by T. B. Wherein is plainly from the scriptures shewed, the weaknesse of his arguments, whereby he undertakes to prove both the Church and Ministry of England true; as likewise describing the nature and properties of a true Church and Ministry. Written long since by that faithfull servant of God and his countrey, John Lilburne Lieftenant [sic] Collonell: and now published for further good, by a well-willer to him and the truth.

of_o ordination_n of_o bishop_n priest_n and_o deacon_n prove_v it_o at_o large_a to_o be_v a_o false_a accusation_n and_o that_o they_o be_v true_a have_v have_v a_o inviolable_a canonical_a

the_o lay_n on_o of_o the_o apostle_n hand_n god_n be_v please_v to_o work_v miracle_n even_o to_o give_v the_o holy_a ghost_n unto_o those_o upon_o who_o they_o be_v lay_v which_o be_v no_o officer_n in_o the_o church_n act_v 8.17.18_o &_o 19.6_o and_o also_o at_o the_o cure_v the_o father_n of_o publius_n of_o his_o fever_n paul_n lay_v his_o hand_n upon_o he_o and_o heal_v he_o act_v 28.8_o
