A57303	The good old way and truth which the ancient Christians many ages and generations ago witnessed unto in the world from age to age, even from the dayes of Christ unto this very time, wherein the same doctrine, life and practice is witnessed unto by us who are in contempt called Quakers, through many tribulations, which our ancestors, the most ancient and true Christians that ever were upon the earth, sealed unto, with the loss of their lives and liberties, by which, in short, is fully manifested, in what is treated of herein, that the doctrine of the Quakers, in denying to swear any oath, and their refusing to pay tythes, and many other things they practise, was the doctrine and practise of the most famous and renowned Christians, both testified of in the Scriptures of truth, and the books of martyrs : also, a brief discovery of the ground and rise and tythes, manifesting them no Gospel-maintenance, but was testified against by the best and most ancient Christians many ages ago / written by ...

flesh_n can_v uphold_v that_o priesthood_n which_o take_v tithe_n know_v that_o he_o have_v change_v the_o priesthood_n and_o the_o law_n also_o and_o not_o through_o covetousness_n to_o save_v so_o much_o of_o our_o estate_n as_o some_o have_v false_o judge_v for_o if_o we_o have_v no_o reason_n for_o the_o denial_n of_o tithe_n but_o to_o save_v our_o good_n we_o will_v assure_o pay_v they_o know_v aforehand_o if_o we_o do_v not_o pay_v they_o we_o shall_v certain_o lose_v three_o time_n so_o much_o at_o the_o best_a therefore_o humane_a reason_n will_v not_o lead_v we_o to_o deny_v they_o upon_o that_o score_n but_o it_o be_v only_o in_o conscience_n towards_o god_n that_o we_o can_v pay_v they_o know_v the_o priesthood_n change_v and_o the_o law_n also_o that_o command_v they_o

24._o though_o their_o law_n allot_v forty_o stripe_n yet_o they_o will_v not_o go_v to_o the_o rigour_n thereof_o but_o these_o merciless_a wolf_n have_v exceed_v in_o cruelty_n to_o the_o power_n they_o have_v have_v give_v they_o all_o that_o ever_o i_o read_v of_o in_o any_o age_n for_o proof_n hereof_o i_o refer_v the_o reader_n to_o a_o book_n call_v a_o record_n of_o suffering_n for_o

have_v a_o law_n so_o to_o do_v which_o make_v they_o bold_a and_o impudent_a not_o regard_v the_o evil_n they_o do_v in_o execute_v their_o law_n when_o it_o turn_v against_o christ_n and_o his_o

tell_v we_o who_o first_o invent_v this_o tithe_n to_o priest_n since_o christ_n and_o if_o they_o can_v clear_v the_o pope_n of_o it_o and_o deduct_v it_o from_o the_o scripture_n or_o the_o

all_o who_o will_v not_o hear_v and_o receive_v which_o if_o they_o have_v be_v true_a shepherd_n they_o will_v have_v lay_v down_o not_o only_o their_o liberty_n and_o their_o tithe_n but_o their_o
