B09695	Railings and slanders detected: or The folly and heresies of the Quakers further exposed. Being an answer to an invective libel written by G. Whitehead, impertinently called, Antichrist in flesh unmasked, &c. which some of the Quakers call an answer to a book truly stiled Antichrist in Spirit unmasked: or, Quakerism a great delusion. In this brief discourse you have the slanderous out-cries of G. Whitehead, against Edward Paye, Henry Loader, and William Alcot, examined, detected, and confuted.	Paye, Edw.

at_o first_o and_o since_o till_o very_o late_o run_v into_o gross_a and_o abominable_a error_n about_o the_o holy_a scripture_n deny_v they_o to_o be_v the_o word_n of_o god_n and_o rule_n of_o

will_v be_v a_o great_a affront_n than_o the_o other_o and_o i_o shall_v incur_v g._n whitehead_n displeasure_n worse_o than_o before_o for_o how_o can_v they_o do_v that_o since_o all_o their_o
