Being a defence of the letter, intituled, The spirit of the hat, against the deceitful, defective and railing Answer, called The spirit of Alexander, &c. With a challenge, to refer the judgment of matters of fact to the verdict of twelve impartial judges, equally chosen. Also, many of their letters, papers, and transactions among themselves are made publick; wherein they contradict one another, and attribute titles to George Fox, that are proper only to Christ.

have_v it_o be_v reveal_v to_o he_o first_o it_o have_v be_v receive_v ready_o but_o now_o it_o must_v be_v reject_v here_o we_o may_v perceive_v clear_o what_o it_o be_v that_o influence_n these_o man_n in_o the_o own_n or_o disow_v of_o divine_a revelation_n however_o there_o be_v no_o gainsay_n but_o that_o notwithstanding_o all_o the_o advantage_n that_o any_o rule_v quaker_n have_v he_o may_v be_v gross_o delude_v and_o take_v that_o for_o a_o infallible_a revelation_n from_o god_n which_o proceed_v indeed_o from_o the_o spirit_n of_o deceit_n for_o thus_o fox_n and_o his_o party_n say_v perrot_n and_o his_o party_n do_v and_o the_o like_a might_n perrot_n say_v of_o fox_n and_o fox_n or_o his_o party_n can_v give_v any_o the_o least_o solid_a ground_n whereby_o to_o decide_v the_o controversy_n between_o they_o therefore_o we_o conclude_v just_o that_o these_o man_n as_o ruler_n and_o prophet_n be_v lead_v by_o a_o self-contradicting_a proud_a blasphemous_a and_o tyrannical_a spirit_n for_o they_o equal_o pretend_v revelation_n and_o if_o there_o be_v any_o advantage_n in_o this_o matter_n it_o be_v on_o perrot_n side_n and_o not_o on_o fox_n so_o that_o

to_o put_v off_o the_o hat_n yet_o they_o be_v to_o honour_v how_o come_v then_o the_o quaker_n who_o abhor_v the_o custom_n of_o the_o world_n to_o retain_v this_o in_o the_o worship_n of_o god_n do_v g._n f._n in_o this_o matter_n forget_v himself_o or_o have_v he_o a_o special_a revelation_n for_o it_o a_o special_a revelation_n without_o doubt_n if_o it_o be_v true_a that_o he_o do_v nothing_o without_o one_o well!_o that_o be_v enough_o to_o justify_v he_o in_o so_o do_v but_o how_o come_v he_o to_o require_v other_o man_n to_o practice_v it_o when_o they_o be_v not_o convince_v of_o it_o o_o say_v pen_n i_o utter_o renounce_v that_o in_o our_o friend_n name_n as_o a_o infamous_a slander_n but_o say_v he_o we_o will_v be_v well_o satisfy_v with_o any_o member_n dispractice_n

probable_o he_o will_v pretend_v he_o write_v by_o revelation_n so_o then_o they_o do_v not_o require_v man_n to_o practice_v what_o they_o be_v not_o convince_v of_o but_o they_o require_v man_n not_o to_o dispractise_v what_o they_o be_v not_o convince_v of_o i_o have_v always_o think_v that_o two_o negative_n in_o english_a make_v a_o affirmitive_a and_o so_o that_o not_o to_o dispractise_v be_v the_o same_o as_o to_o practice_v let_v the_o learned_a world_n vail_v to_o w._n pen_n but_o he_o mean_v that_o they_o require_v man_n not_o to_o leave_v off_o to_o practice_v what_o they_o
