A93315	The worlds wonder, or the Quakers blazing starr: with an astronomical judgment given upon the same, from 2 Cor. 11.13, 14, 15. Proving them to be altogether deluded by Satan, both in their judgments and walkings: together with a probable conjecture of the end of the world, and the estate of things in the interval. / By Edmund Skipp preacher of the Gospel unto the people at Bodenham in Herefordshire.	Skipp, Edmund.	1655 (1655)	Wing S3949; Thomason E829_4; ESTC R207389	55,821	73

way_n and_o action_n lay_v it_o all_o upon_o the_o score_n of_o god_n say_v he_o do_v all_o in_o they_o and_o by_o they_o they_o be_v whole_o crucify_v into_o the_o will_n of_o the_o lord_n etc._n etc._n and_o again_o such_o as_o will_v not_o be_v deceive_v by_o he_o in_o neither_o of_o both_o these_o way_n may_v be_v act_v as_o minister_n of_o righteousness_n as_o false_a apostle_n or_o false_a christ_n not_o be_v see_v either_o to_o own_o or_o to_o practise_v any_o uncleanness_n at_o all_o but_o rather_o to_o be_v ready_a to_o do_v all_o good_a as_o christ_n and_o the_o apostle_n be_v i_o remember_v that_o i_o have_v sometime_o tell_v these_o quaker_n that_o i_o do_v conceive_v the_o design_n of_o antichrist_n be_v in_o the_o end_n to_o bring_v they_o to_o work_v all_o

as_o i_o have_v declare_v at_o large_a before_o in_o what_o i_o have_v late_o write_v all_o the_o world_n may_v see_v that_o antichrist_n do_v act_v three_o manner_n of_o way_n in_o three_o sort_n of_o people_n but_o little_o do_v i_o think_v once_o to_o have_v see_v the_o people_n call_v the_o seeker_n who_o i_o do_v esteem_v to_o be_v so_o heavenly_a and_o spiritual_a both_o in_o principle_n
