A62427	The Quakers quibbles in three parts : first set forth in an expostulatory epistle to Will. Pfnn [i.e. Penn] concerning the late meeting held to Barbycan between the Baptists and the Quakers, also the pretended prophet Lod. Muggleton and the Quakers compared : the second part, in reply to a quibbling answer to G. Whiteheads, entituled The Quakers plainness ... : the third part, being a continuation of their quibbles ... / by the same indifferent pen.	Thompson, Thomas.; Hedworth, Henry.; Penn, William, 1644-1718.	1675 (1675)	Wing T1013; ESTC R41153	141,349	262

harden_v judge_n and_o let_v all_o intelligent_a reader_n judg._n this_o be_v then_o the_o thing_n that_o i_o do_v and_o do_v still_o demand_v of_o thou_o why_o shall_v thou_o or_o thy_o friend_n be_v
