A65862	The divine light of Christ in man, and his mediation truly confessed by the people called Quakers. In a brief and gentle examination of John Norris his two treatises concerning the divine light. Intended to wipe off his undue reflection of grossness and confusion on the Quakers notion of the light within. With a postscript to J. N. By G. W. a servant of Christ.	Whitehead, George, 1636?-1723.	1692 (1692)	Wing W1924; ESTC R220968	14,045	25
