In this answer, you have the substance of a dispute at Harliston in Staffordshire, between Richard Faruworth [sic] and the author, in the yeer 1654. Written by Tho. Pollard, a member of the Church of Christ, gathered in, and about, Leichfield.

relate_v to_o the_o law_n give_v by_o moses_n much_o more_o shall_v we_o not_o escape_v if_o we_o turn_v away_o from_o he_o that_o speak_v from_o heaven_n for_o john_n say_v the_o law_n come_v by_o

that_o the_o resurrection_n and_o eternal_a judgement_n be_v then_o past_a in_o he_o i_o own_v not_o but_o disown_n for_o i_o believe_v the_o resurrection_n of_o the_o dead_a both_o of_o the_o just_a

these_o man_n because_o what_o farnworth_n then_o affirm_v other_o of_o his_o company_n stand_v by_o to_o maintain_v and_o in_o a_o few_o word_n i_o shall_v give_v you_o brief_o what_o one_o daniel_n

to_o say_v that_o all_o that_o be_v get_v from_o the_o scripture_n be_v but_o brain-knowledge_n and_o a_o great_a deal_n of_o suchlike_a stuff_n he_o be_v fill_v with_o if_o any_o man_n make_v
