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.

the_o lead_a man_n contradict_v one_o another_o notwithstanding_o they_o profess_v the_o infallible_a light_n to_o be_v their_o guide_n than_o he_o that_o have_v the_o strong_a interest_n among_o

so_o that_o they_o have_v not_o only_o offer_v this_o affront_n to_o mankind_n viz._n that_o they_o profess_v in_o principle_n and_o practice_n necessary_a to_o man_n happiness_n to_o distinguish_v
