A78074	A stop to the false characterizers hue-and-cry and a reproof to their unfruitful works of darkness. Wherein the folly of B.C. and L.K. is greatly manifested and their malice & envy detected.

to_o we_o who_o thou_o call_v so_o mal_fw-fr preacher_n in_o read_v thy_o query_n be_v first_o direct_v and_o send_v before_o they_o be_v print_v as_o thou_o say_v in_o pag._n 3._o and_o in_o the_o
