A85173	A faithful discovery of a treacherous design of mystical Antichrist displaying Christs banners, but attempting to lay waste Scriptures, churches, Christ, faith, hope, &c. and establish paganism in England. Seasonably given in a letter to the faithful in and near to Beverley. Containing an examination of many doctrines of the people called Quakers in Yorkshire, together with a censure of their way, and several items concerning the designs of God, Satan, and men, in these things, recommended to the consideration of them who are in good earnest for Christ.

in_o they_o or_o among_o they_o and_o they_o know_v not_o 2._o most_o true_a it_o be_v that_o wherever_o the_o kingdom_n of_o god_n come_v with_o power_n and_o efficacy_n it_o sit_v down_o in_o the_o heart_n and_o do_v subdue_v the_o thought_n will_n affection_n and_o action_n of_o 43._o man_n to_o the_o sceptre_n of_o christ_n but_o it_o come_v near_o to_o many_o in_o the_o gospel_n or_o

we_o do_v indeed_o firm_o hold_v against_o all_o the_o son_n of_o formality_n that_o it_o be_v not_o talk_v of_o god_n but_o walk_v with_o 23._o god_n not_o the_o form_n of_o godliness_n without_o the_o power_n that_o set_v one_o further_a than_o the_o outward_a court_n and_o that_o god_n be_v not_o worship_v in_o truth_n if_o he_o be_v not_o worship_v in_o spirit_n also_o we_o hold_v that_o all_o the_o visible_a order_n and_o regiment_n of_o the_o church_n as_o suit_v to_o the_o present_a condition_n in_o the_o body_n be_v not_o of_o the_o substance_n of_o the_o kingdom_n that_o can_v

of_o gospel-appointment_n as_o church-order_n sacrament_n etc._n etc._n we_o judge_v they_o add_v to_o as_o appendix_n of_o the_o kingdom_n and_o they_o be_v unalterable_a by_o the_o wisdom_n or_o
