SIRS , SOme of you know the meetings we have had with this deceased Brother , and the purpose still of all our disputings , as your selves well know , ended only in this , that you would lay by the formes in practise , and strengthen the hands of our godly brethren in the Reformation , but we could not prevaile upon you , either our Arguments were too weak , or your corruptions too strong ; my fellow Ministers in these Arguments were Mr. Sheifield of Turnbridge in Kent , Mr. Marshall Minister , Mr. Steed Minister in the same County , godly and faithfull men , but now you may heare an Argument stronger then ours , the words of your dying brother , which I had concealed from the world , had not the Lord sent down a beam from heaven into the deceased , to give testimony against these mixtures , and corrupt formes , And what am I that I should withstand God ?	cache/A93711.xml	txt/A93711.txt
