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

with_o the_o quaker_n their_o main_a principle_n be_v easy_o reduce_v in_o effect_n to_o those_o of_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n and_o those_o argument_n that_o prove_v effectual_a against_o one_o

doubtless_o find_v the_o ease_n and_o benefit_n of_o it_o in_o dispute_v with_o a_o papist_n or_o a_o quaker_n i_o have_v already_o show_v it_o to_o be_v both_o necessary_a and_o equitable_a now_o
