A77832	A vindication of the book called, Some Gospel-truths opened; according to the Scriptures, and the opposition made against it by Edward Borrough, a professed Quaker, (but proved an enemie to the truth) examined and confuted by the word of God. And also, the things that were then laid down, and declared to the world by me, are a second-time born witness to, according to truth: with the answer of Edward Burrough to the quæries then laid down in my book reproved. And also, a plain answer to his quæries, given in simplicitie of soul; and is now also presented to the world, or who else may read, or hear them; to the end (if God will) that truth may be discovered thereby. / by John Bunyan ...

that_o they_o corrupt_v the_o word_n and_o only_o mean_v thus_o much_o that_o salvation_n be_v wrought_v out_o by_o christ_n as_o he_o be_v within_o and_o by_o it_o though_o not_o warrant_v by_o the_o
