A86003	Male audis or An answer to Mr. Coleman his Malè dicis. Wherein the repugnancy of his Erastian doctrine to the word of God, to the solemne League and Covenant, and to the ordinances of Parliament: also his contradictions, tergiversations, heterodoxies, calumnies, and perverting of testimonies, are made more apparent then formerly. Together with some animadversions upon Master Hussey his Plea for Christian magistracy: shewing, that in divers of the afore mentioned particulars he hath miscarried as much, and in some particulars more then Mr Coleman. / By George Gillespie, minister at Edinbrugh.

turn_v over_o to_o the_o essence_n and_o nature_n of_o god_n what_o i_o speak_v of_o the_o second_o person_n in_o the_o trinity_n or_o of_o christ_n as_o he_o be_v the_o eternal_a son_n of_o god_n

as_o utter_o impertinent_a and_o make_v nothing_o at_o all_o against_o my_o thesis_n which_o affirm_v that_o a_o universal_a dominion_n and_o kingdom_n over_o all_o thing_n be_v give_v to_o christ_n
