A41067	A touch-stone, or, A perfect tryal by the Scriptures, of all the priests, bishops, and ministers, who have called themselves, the ministers of the Gospel whose time and day hath been in the last ages past, or rather in the night of apostacy : they are tried and weighed by the Scriptures of truth, and are found out of the life and power of the scriptures, and out of the spirit and doctrine of them that gave them forth, and quite contrary to their principle and practice, both Papists and Protestants : unto which is annexed, Womens speaking justified, &c.

jesus_n that_o be_v within_o they_o which_o preach_v in_o a_o mystery_n and_o preach_v righteousness_n very_o nigh_o in_o their_o heart_n and_o will_v cleanse_v their_o inward_a part_n and_o make_v

the_o light_n as_o he_o be_v in_o the_o light_n and_o here_o be_v the_o fellowship_n and_o unity_n of_o the_o saint_n in_o light_n jesus_n christ_n the_o righteous_a rule_v in_o their_o heart_n and_o who_o live_v in_o the_o unity_n and_o spirit_n of_o the_o lord_n jesus_n they_o come_v to_o have_v fellowship_n with_o the_o father_n and_o the_o son_n as_o john_n have_v and_o these_o thing_n he_o

that_o god_n be_v light_a and_o in_o he_o be_v no_o darkness_n at_o all_o and_o whosoever_o say_v he_o know_v god_n and_o abide_v in_o darkness_n be_v a_o liar_n and_o the_o truth_n be_v not_o in_o

if_o they_o have_v fellowship_n with_o god_n and_o they_o have_v love_v the_o world_n and_o the_o thing_n of_o the_o world_n which_o the_o apostle_n say_v be_v not_o of_o the_o father_n and_o if_o any_o love_v the_o world_n the_o love_n of_o the_o father_n be_v not_o in_o he_o 1_o john_n 2._o and_o now_o reader_n do_v but_o consider_v how_o these_o teacher_n of_o the_o world_n live_v and_o after_o what_o manner_n and_o how_o they_o do_v oppress_v people_n for_o their_o maintenance_n and_o whether_o there_o be_v any_o sort_n of_o people_n more_o covetous_a of_o the_o world_n than_o

have_v attain_v to_o these_o title_n of_o lord-bishop_n and_o reverend_a father_n in_o god_n but_o since_o we_o find_v the_o scripture_n so_o much_o contrary_n to_o these_o title_n it_o must_v needs_o follow_v that_o they_o have_v receive_v their_o title_n from_o man_n but_o timothy_n and_o titus_n be_v make_v overseer_n of_o the_o church_n of_o god_n by_o the_o holy_a ghost_n but_o no_o
