A77227	The Quakers quaking principles examined and refuted in a briefe answer to some erroneous tenets held forth by James Naylor in his answers unto Mr Baxter, and some others that have publikely opposed that blacke spirit in the deluded Quakers. Wherein is also included a serious admonition, how wee ought to behave our selves towards the ministers of the gospell, in respect of communicating unto them; and for giving to the poore, so as the Gospell requires: and to beware of covetousnesse, and the effects thereof, least wee be left of God, and delivered up unto strong delusions, and a blasphemous spirit instead of the spirit of God. The heads of the whole discourse are also premised. / Written by Ellis Bradshavve.	Bradshaw, Ellis.	1656 (1656)	Wing B4147; Thomason E869_1; ESTC R207737	57,239	71

as_o they_o most_o wicked_o assert_v but_o our_o bind_a duty_n to_o own_o and_o call_v it_o the_o word_n of_o god_n and_o that_o it_o be_v blasphemy_n in_o they_o to_o deny_v it_o and_o call_v it_o

nor_o such_o lie_v as_o these_o of_o the_o quaker_n but_o they_o be_v the_o word_n of_o another_o spirit_n than_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n as_o i_o trust_v in_o god_n to_o make_v it_o manifest_a as_o
