A39296	The account from Wickham (lately published by John Raunce and Charles Harris) examin'd and found false and warning thereof given to all such well-meaning persons among the people called Quakers, as through personal affection, want of consideration, or weakness of judgment have been betrayed, or may be in danger to be betrayed by them, or any other in the same dividing spirit with them, and led aside from the way of truth into a separation from the people of God, for whose recovery and preservation this is written / by Thomas Ellwood.

of_o truth_n the_o peace_n of_o the_o church_n of_o christ_n the_o salvation_n of_o soul_n can_v they_o think_v you_o have_v make_v so_o great_a a_o bluster_n have_v proclaim_v such_o open_a war_n as_o they_o have_v do_v and_o set_v up_o such_o open_a ensign_n of_o opposition_n and_o flag_n of_o defiance_n against_o the_o standard_n of_o the_o lord_n of_o host_n as_o their_o separate_a meeting_n be_v upon_o no_o sure_a ground_n no_o better_a bottom_n than_o a_o apprehension_n that_o something_o seem_v to_o draw_v people_n to_o please_v man_n seem_v to_o force_v they_o to_o practice_n thing_n &_o c_o so_o again_o in_o their_o second_o page_n they_o say_v we_o clear_o see_v that_o if_o their_o order_n be_v propose_v on_o such_o term_n that_o all_o be_v to_o be_v render_v of_o a_o dark_a and_o bad_a spirit_n that_o do_v not_o conform_v then_o etc._n etc._n here_o you_o see_v they_o can_v say_v that_o those_o thing_n which_o they_o call_v friends-order_n be_v propose_v on_o such_o term_n but_o if_o they_o be_v according_o they_o say_v they_o do_v withstand_v they_o that_o in_o effect_n do_v so_o propose_v they_o they_o know_v if_o they_o have_v say_v they_o have_v be_v propose_v direct_o or_o positive_o on_o such_o term_n they_o shall_v have_v be_v immediate_o convict_v of_o a_o direct_a and_o positive_a lye._n therefore_o they_o use_v these_o shift_a

to_o they_o we_o have_v great_a cause_n say_v they_o to_o be_v jealous_a several_a thing_n propose_v be_v not_o from_o heaven_n but_o of_o man_n for_o in_o their_o birth_n into_o the_o church_n they_o

the_o heavenly_a image_n but_o sure_o it_o have_v beseem_v they_o to_o have_v go_v past_o seem_v beyond_o jealousy_n and_o to_o have_v have_v a_o certain_a sure_a indubitable_a positive_a knowledge_n of_o what_o they_o seem_v to_o be_v jealous_a of_o before_o they_o have_v make_v a_o certain_a positive_a rent_n breach_n division_n separation_n from_o the_o church_n of_o christ_n as_o they_o have_v do_v ah_o how_o have_v the_o lord_n abandon_v they_o to_o blindness_n who_o have_v resist_v his_o light_n in_o the_o manifestation_n thereof_o that_o they_o may_v discover_v their_o own_o nakedness_n the_o lord_n make_v every_o one_o of_o you_o wise_a to_o improve_v these_o discovery_n of_o their_o folly_n and_o falseness_n to_o the_o advantage_n of_o your_o own_o soul_n that_o hereby_o you_o
