A40899	The Lord Cravens case stated; and the impostor dethron'd by way of reply to Captain George Bishop, a grand Quaker in Bristoll. Wherein is briefly hinted, the rottenness of the Quakers conversion, and perfection, in general, exemplified in this busie bishop; in special instanced in his practises against the estate of the Lord Craven, life of Mr. Love. By occasion whereof, this truth is asserted, viz. if we may judge of the conscience, honesty, and perfection of Quakers in general, by this man in particular, a man may be as vile a person, as any under heaven, and yet a perfect Quaker.	Farmer, Ralph.; Bishop, George, d. 1668. aut	1660 (1660)	Wing F442; ESTC R218269	94,789	137

friend_n that_o in_o regard_n most_o of_o the_o inhabitant_n near_o and_o about_o the_o college_n be_v person_n of_o another_o judgement_n than_o myself_o in_o civil_a matter_n i_o shall_v have_v
