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.

we_o have_v see_v in_o you_o and_o in_o some_o of_o those_o that_o be_v go_v away_o with_o you_o and_o we_o be_v persuade_v there_o be_v no_o judicious_a christian_a this_o day_n in_o bristol_n that_o

they_o to_o come_v unto_o you_o the_o lord_n preserve_v they_o by_o his_o grace_n we_o come_v now_o to_o the_o five_o thing_n in_o your_o admonish_a a_o copy_n of_o which_o we_o have_v by_o we_o do_v

and_o rash_a judge_v not_o only_o of_o person_n abroad_o but_o also_o of_o the_o church_n contrary_a to_o matt._n 7._o 1._o rom._n 14._o 3._o also_o your_o calling_n the_o church_n a_o harlot_n four_o your_o assert_v in_o the_o church_n doctrine_n contrary_a to_o truth_n as_o first_o that_o we_o do_v not_o know_v what_o faith_n be_v and_o that_o faith_n be_v a_o eternal_a thing_n second_o that_o

and_o a_o plague_n to_o soul_n and_o further_o say_v they_o be_v not_o the_o word_n of_o god_n nor_o the_o rule_n of_o life_n now_o because_o you_o say_v these_o be_v study_v accusation_n and_o from_o the_o father_n of_o lie_n etc._n etc._n we_o shall_v therefore_o prove_v every_o title_n of_o these_o thing_n to_o be_v true_a first_o that_o you_o have_v leave_v the_o church_n be_v true_a and_o that_o your_o so_o do_v have_v draw_v away_o some_o grieve_v other_o and_o open_v the_o mouth_n of_o many_o to_o speak_v evil_a of_o the_o way_n of_o christ_n this_o be_v clear_a and_o plain_a and_o not_o a_o study_a accusation_n but_o a_o real_a thing_n and_o that_o which_o have_v be_v matter_n of_o grief_n and_o sadness_n to_o the_o church_n and_o therefore_o we_o do_v send_v to_o admonish_v

therefore_o what_o be_v our_o judgement_n worth_n etc._n etc._n and_o then_o you_o go_v on_o to_o heap_v up_o fourteen_o dreadful_a sentence_n against_o we_o such_o as_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n do_v in_o scripture_n give_v to_o reprobate_n and_o castawaies_a and_o so_o conclude_v with_o that_o 2_o thes_n 2._o 8._o now_o we_o desire_v any_o sober_a christian_a to_o consider_v of_o this_o your_o
