A87231	The Quakers quaking: or, the foundation of their deceit shaken, by scripture, reason, their own mouthes at several conferences. By all which will appear, that their quaking, ministery, doctrine, and lives, is a meer deceit, and themselves proved to be the great impostors of these latter times: / by Jeremiah Ives.	Ives, Jeremiah, fl. 1653-1674.	1656 (1656)	Wing I1103; Thomason E883_3; ESTC R207296	36,620	64

christ_n tell_v the_o jew_n that_o a_o foolish_a and_o adulterous_a generation_n do_v seek_v a_o sign_n to_o which_o i_o do_v reply_v that_o if_o he_o can_v show_v as_o good_a a_o sign_n for_o his_o

give_v to_o they_o i_o challenge_v all_o the_o quaker_n in_o england_n either_o to_o show_v we_o such_o a_o sign_n of_o their_o immediate_a send_n or_o else_o never_o use_v that_o text_n to_o

christ_n do_v mighty_a work_n it_o be_v not_o at_o or_o upon_o the_o time_n that_o they_o demand_v it_o to_o which_o i_o reply_v that_o if_o he_o will_v but_o say_v he_o have_v do_v it_o at_o any_o time_n we_o will_v believe_v he_o hereupon_o he_o tell_v we_o of_o his_o call_n from_o the_o plough_n to_o which_o i_o reply_v and_o tell_v he_o again_o this_o do_v no_o more_o prove_v that_o which_o be_v demand_v then_o as_o the_o story_n go_v the_o man_n that_o leave_v his_o fish_n to_o be_v a_o priest_n and_o afterward_o come_v to_o be_v pope_n be_v immediate_o send_v of_o god_n to_o which_o he_o reply_v and_o tell_v i_o that_o when_o paul_n be_v bring_v before_o the_o civil_a magistrate_n he_o give_v no_o other_o account_n but_o only_o tell_v he_o how_o god_n call_v he_o to_o which_o i_o answer_v that_o if_o james_n nayler_n can_v give_v any_o history_n of_o as_o good_a authority_n as_o the_o history_n of_o the_o act_n of_o the_o apostle_n be_v for_o the_o proof_n of_o his_o call_n we_o will_v believe_v he_o he_o hereupon_o call_v i_o liar_n for_o say_v he_o do_v not_o thou_o tell_v i_o thou_o will_v st_z believe_v if_o i_o will_v but_o say_v it_o to_o which_o i_o answer_v that_o i_o do_v not_o say_v i_o will_v believe_v he_o be_v immediate_o send_v of_o god_n if_o he_o do_v but_o say_v it_o for_o than_o i_o shall_v give_v away_o the_o cause_n but_o if_o he_o say_v that_o he_o have_v at_o any_o time_n do_v a_o miracle_n we_o will_v believe_v he_o hereupon_o he_o tell_v we_o that_o he_o will_v prove_v his_o extraordinary_a call_n both_o by_o himself_o and_o other_o witness_n and_o to_o make_v this_o good_a he_o give_v we_o a_o narrative_a how_o be_v be_v before_o the_o magistrate_n of_o appleby_n and_o tell_v they_o how_o god_n call_v he_o in_o the_o field_n at_o plough_n etc._n etc._n to_o which_o i_o do_v reply_v he_o be_v not_o before_o i_o to_o give_v a_o account_n to_o i_o as_o to_o a_o magistrate_n and_o second_o i_o tell_v he_o that_o this_o be_v a_o mere_a deceit_n for_o we_o expect_v he_o shall_v prove_v the_o truth_n of_o his_o call_n and_o he_o go_v to_o prove_v that_o he_o tell_v the_o magistrate_n of_o appleby_n he_o be_v thus_o call_v and_o i_o tell_v he_o that_o i_o do_v not_o want_v proof_n that_o he_o do_v tell_v they_o so_o but_o that_o that_o which_o he_o tell_v they_o be_v true_a which_o be_v the_o main_a thing_n in_o question_n hereupon_o several_a of_o his_o proselyte_n stand_v up_o to_o witness_v how_o he_o have_v turn_v they_o from_o darkness_n to_o light_n i_o tell_v they_o that_o be_v a_o beg_n of_o the_o question_n for_o the_o great_a question_n be_v whether_o that_o be_v not_o darkness_n they_o be_v turn_v to_o and_o that_o the_o light_n they_o be_v turn_v from_o i_o therefore_o do_v tell_v they_o all_o that_o it_o be_v horrible_a presumption_n for_o such_o as_o they_o to_o proclaim_v both_o in_o city_n and_o country_n that_o they_o be_v send_v of_o god_n when_o indeed_o the_o pope_n can_v say_v as_o much_o for_o his_o infallible_a chair_n the_o turk_n for_o his_o koran_n and_o the_o jew_n for_o his_o talmud_n and_o a_o great_a deal_n more_o hereupon_o he_o desire_v i_o to_o dispute_v some_o other_o point_n of_o doctrine_n viz._n whether_o faith_n be_v the_o gift_n of_o god_n and_o the_o like_a to_o which_o i_o answer_v that_o if_o he_o can_v prove_v that_o he_o be_v immediate_o send_v of_o god_n we_o will_v believe_v all_o he_o say_v and_o if_o he_o do_v but_o that_o it_o will_v save_v we_o a_o labour_n to_o dispute_v other_o point_n for_o if_o he_o do_v prove_v that_o god_n send_v he_o to_o check_v and_o control_v all_o the_o religion_n of_o the_o world_n we_o will_v willing_o be_v control_v by_o he_o which_o we_o do_v once_o and_o again_o call_v for_o proof_n of_o but_o can_v not_o have_v it_o i_o therefore_o bid_v he_o either_o renounce_v this_o pretend_a call_n or_o else_o prove_v it_o before_o i_o will_v dispute_v any_o other_o point_n of_o doctrine_n with_o he_o hereupon_o he_o tell_v we_o he_o be_v immediate_o send_v
