A30520	A discovery of some part of the war between the kingdom of the Lamb and the kingdom of Anti-Christ held forth in this account of several disputes and queries between a Minister of Christ (really so) and one that hath the name of a Minister, but is proved to be a Minister and member of Anti-Christ by evident testimonies : and is a short account of the covetousnesse, ignorance, envy, and the fruits of darkness brought forth by C. Fowler ... / by Edw. Burrough.	Burrough, Edward, 1634-1662.	1659 (1659)	Wing B5999A; ESTC R27139	22,780	34

thereby_o make_v myself_o a_o transgressor_n therefore_o hardly_o will_v you_o suffer_v i_o to_o say_v any_o thing_n in_o any_o manner_n of_o argue_v but_o by_o wickedness_n endeavour_v to_o stop_n
