A67871	A just vindication of the questioned part of the reading of Edward Bagshaw, Esq; an apprentice of the common law. Had in the Middle Temple Hall the 24th day of February, being Munday, anno Dom. 1639. upon the statute of 25 E.3. called, Statutum pro clero, from all scandalous aspersions whatsoever. With a true narrative of the cause of silencing the reader by the then Archbishop of Canterbury: with the arguments at large of those points in his reading, for which he was questioned at the Council-Board.	Bagshaw, Edward, d. 1662.	1660 (1660)	Wing B396; ESTC R208288	31,311	44

sic_fw-la the_o historian_n go_v on_o and_o say_v his_o three_o case_n thus_o whether_o a_o bishop_n without_o call_v a_o synod_n have_v power_n as_o diocesan_n to_o convict_v a_o heretic_n that_o which_o i_o put_v be_v the_o four_o point_n of_o my_o three_o case_n upon_o the_o three_o division_n and_o it_o be_v this_o whether_o a_o clerk_n that_o be_v a_o heretic_n may_v at_o this_o day_n be_v
