A04208	A Christian and modest offer of a most indifferent conference, or disputation, about the maine and principall controversies betwixt the prelats, and the late silenced and deprived ministers in England tendered by some of the said ministers to the archbishops, and bishops, and all their adherents.

defective_a and_o unperfect_a be_v true_a church_n who_o willing_a subject_n themselves_o unto_o their_o ministry_n make_v the_o very_a outward_a calling_n itself_o of_o the_o say_a minister_n to_o
