A86648	The common salvation contended for, and the faith which was once delivered to the saints· Or, An answer to a book called a plain answer to eighteen queries of Iohn Whitehead, put forth by William Kays, who calls himself minister of the Gospel at Stokesly; wherein he hath perverted the faith once delivered to the saints, and pleads for those things which the Scripture declares against, and so he is made manifest, not to be a minister of the everlasting Gospel, but preachesanother [sic] Gospel. The queries laid down, and the substance of his answer, with a reply to his answer. / By one who is a friend to all, who wait for the appearance of Iesus Christ without sin to salvation, known to the world by the name.

thou_o lie_v in_o confusion_n and_o babylon_n and_o put_v the_o letter_n for_o the_o light_n of_o christ_n and_o so_o be_v blind_a indeed_o as_o thou_o confess_v thy_o eye_n be_v not_o open_v and_o
