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.

yet_o say_v he_o i_o find_v that_o same_o spirit_n in_o he_o that_o be_v in_o the_o other_o two_o man_n who_o beat_v i_o and_o my_o relation_n tell_v i_o simple_o the_o word_n as_o he_o speak_v they_o
