A82555	The Quakers confuted, being an answer unto nineteen queries; propounded by them, and sent to the elders of the church of Duckenfield in Cheshire; wherein is held forth much of the doctrine and practise concerning revelations, and immediate voices, and against the holy Scriptures, Christs ministry, churches and ordinances &c. Together with an answer to a letter which was written and sent by one of them to a family of note and quality in the said county, which pleaded for perfection in this life, and for quaking. By Samuel Eaton, teacher of the Church of Christ heretofore meeting at Duckenfield, now in Stockport in Cheshire.	Eaton, Samuel, 1596?-1665.; Waller, Richard, d. 1657.	1654 (1654)	Wing E125; Thomason E719_8; ESTC R9865	69,620	98

be_v necessary_a for_o such_o second_o the_o apostle_n seem_v to_o speak_v of_o such_o a_o annointment_n which_o they_o have_v receive_v which_o have_v already_o teach_v they_o by_o which_o they_o shall_v abide_v in_o christ_n and_o not_o be_v seduce_v as_o those_o word_n show_v even_o we_o it_o have_v teach_v you_o you_o shall_v abide_v etc._n etc._n now_o indeed_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n have_v teach_v we_o of_o all_o thing_n in_o the_o scripture_n which_o be_v of_o his_o inspire_a whereto_o if_o we_o attend_v we_o shall_v abide_v in_o the_o truth_n and_o not_o be_v mislead_v by_o

the_o word_n you_o need_v not_o that_o any_o man_n teach_v you_o but_o as_o the_o anoint_v teach_v you_o be_v hyperbolical_a expression_n there_o be_v a_o excess_n in_o they_o as_o in_o many_o place_n of_o scriptute_fw-la as_o where_o it_o be_v say_v if_o all_o thing_n shall_v be_v write_v which_o jesus_n say_v and_o do_v the_o whole_a world_n will_v not_o contain_v the_o the_o book_n that_o will_v

that_o they_o know_v all_o thing_n it_o be_v a_o excessive_a speech_n for_o no_o one_o know_v all_o thing_n but_o god_n christ_n himself_o as_o man_n know_v not_o all_o thing_n who_o yet_o have_v the_o spirit_n not_o according_a to_o measure_v but_o beyond_o it_o the_o meaning_n than_o be_v they_o have_v much_o knowledge_n and_o know_v many_o thing_n and_o so_o they_o need_v not_o that_o any_o

of_o that_o teach_n which_o other_o do_v require_v and_o it_o respect_v the_o abundance_n of_o knowledge_n which_o they_o have_v in_o comparison_n of_o believer_n of_o former_a time_n before_o the_o
