A04207	An attestation of many learned, godly, and famous divines, lightes of religion, and pillars of the Gospell iustifying this doctrine, viz. That the Church-governement ought to bee alwayes with the peoples free consent. Also this; that a true Church vnder the Gospell contayneth no more ordinary congregations but one. In the discourse whereof, specially Doctor Downames & also D. Bilsons chiefe matters in their writings against the same, are answered.	Jacob, Henry, 1563-1624.	1613 (1613)	STC 14328; ESTC S117858	154,493	335

be_v it_o be_v superabundant_o recompense_v with_o far_o great_a blessing_n when_o we_o practice_v christ_n ordinance_n and_o true_o this_o must_v be_v so_o be_v such_o a_o bishop_n to_o such_o a_o
