A65856	Christ's lamb defended against Satan's rage in a just vindication of the people called Quakers ... from the unjust attempts of John Pennyman and abettors, in his malicious book, styled, The Quakers unmasked, clearly evincing his by a lover of truth and peace, G.W.

must_v be_v speak_v as_o from_o a_o prophet_n of_o god_n or_o only_o as_o a_o christian_a however_o conditional_o first_o if_o as_o a_o prophet_n than_o he_o speak_v not_o always_o what_o be_v

the_o great_a whore_n etc._n etc._n so_o that_o a_o man_n may_v speak_v as_o a_o prophet_n and_o be_v yet_o a_o christian_a of_o divers_a calamity_n and_o judgement_n which_o he_o can_v be_v active_a

aforesaid_a passage_n be_v speak_v then_o i_o may_v lawful_o conclude_v that_o the_o design_n thereof_o be_v not_o to_o incite_v to_o fight_v kill_v or_o bloodshed_n but_o rather_o that_o it_o be_v write_v from_o a_o belief_n that_o if_o they_o have_v eye_v the_o lord_n and_o aim_v at_o the_o remove_a oppression_n and_o persecution_n they_o may_v have_v be_v such_o a_o dread_n of_o nation_n as_o be_v express_v in_o the_o same_o paper_n that_o possible_o they_o may_v not_o have_v meet_v with_o such_o resistance_n if_o any_o in_o that_o case_n for_o who_o know_v not_o that_o they_o be_v formidable_a for_o a_o time_n and_o what_o success_n they_o may_v have_v have_v for_o such_o a_o end_n our_o adversary_n can_v determine_v however_o to_o require_v their_o inquisition_n and_o to_o knock_v at_o rome_n door_n prove_v no_o violence_n all_o this_o may_v have_v be_v do_v by_o embassy_n as_o in_o the_o case_n of_o the_o d._n of_o savoy_n that_o persecute_v the_o poor_a piedmontor_n the_o stock_n of_o the_o waldenses_n for_o he_o prove_v not_o a_o incitation_n unto_o bloodshed_n and_o slaughter_n

the_o lord_n establish_v the_o kingdom_n in_o his_o hand_n and_o when_o he_o cause_v the_o law_n of_o the_o lord_n to_o be_v teach_v in_o judah_n that_o the_o fear_n of_o the_o lord_n fall_v upon_o

and_o his_o power_n be_v and_o be_v a_o better_a defence_n to_o a_o kingdom_n or_o nation_n than_o war_n and_o fight_v now_o have_v prove_v from_o few_o instance_n what_o a_o manifest_a hypocrite_n
