A84760	A sober answer to an angry epistle, directed to all the publick teachers in this nation, and prefixed to a book, called (by an antiphrasis) Christs innocency pleaded against the cry of the chief priests. Written in hast by Thomas Speed, once a publick teacher himself, and since revolted from that calling to merchandize, and of late grown a merchant of soules, trading subtilly for the Quakers in Bristoll. Wherein the jesuiticall equivocations and subtle insinuations, whereby he endeavours secretly to infuse the whole venome of Quaking doctrines, into undiscerning readers, are discovered; a catlogue of the true and genuine doctrines of the Quakers is presented, and certaine questions depending between us and them, candidly disputed, / by [brace] Christopher Fowler & Simon Ford, [brace] ministers of the Gospel in Reding,	Fowler, Christopher, 1610?-1678.; Ford, Simon, 1619?-1699.	1656 (1656)	Wing F1694; Thomason E883_1; ESTC R207293	63,879	81

of_o christ_n mention_v in_o scripture_n do_v not_o thus_o be_v because_o they_o have_v not_o the_o same_o legal_a right_n back_v with_o the_o power_n of_o a_o christian_a magistrate_n or_o because_o

humane_a you_o will_v think_v it_o a_o hard_a case_n if_o all_o the_o poor_a in_o the_o country_n shall_v come_v about_o you_o and_o require_v you_o to_o lend_v your_o estate_n among_o they_o hope_v

unreasonable_a a_o request_n they_o shall_v tell_v you_o you_o be_v no_o christian_a because_o you_o do_v not_o trust_v god_n providence_n we_o doubt_v in_o such_o a_o case_n you_o will_v take_v shelter_n under_o some_o distinction_n or_o other_o as_o ill_o as_o you_o like_v they_o in_o the_o man_n of_o your_o scorn_n and_o wrath_n the_o poor_a minister_n in_o the_o nine_o article_n you_o excuse_v your_o bold_a censure_n of_o our_o sect._n 30_o heart_n in_o call_v we_o hypocrite_n upon_o some_o pretend_a reason_n as_o yourself_o call_v they_o and_o we_o for_o our_o part_n believe_v they_o no_o other_o in_o the_o first_o reason_n you_o justify_v the_o charge_n with_o a_o mere_a slander_n viz._n that_o we_o preach_v against_o pride_n and_o yet_o live_v in_o it_o and_o

not_o you_o belie_v second_o you_o say_v we_o be_v hypocrite_n because_o we_o often_o tell_v people_n we_o shall_v have_v proceed_v further_a if_o time_n have_v not_o prevent_v we_o when_o as_o indeed_o we_o have_v no_o more_o to_o say_v how_o many_o minister_n have_v tell_v you_o they_o have_v be_v draw_v so_o dry_a that_o you_o thus_o charge_v we_o it_o may_v be_v you_o do_v so_o when_o you_o be_v a_o preacher_n so_o you_o measure_v other_o man_n corn_n by_o your_o own_o bushel_n your_o three_o reason_n be_v because_o in_o our_o prayer_n before_o sermon_n we_o frequent_o beg_v that_o

not_o because_o they_o have_v to_o do_v with_o such_o a_o captious_a generation_n as_o you_o who_o will_v make_v no_o conscience_n of_o make_v they_o say_v what_o they_o do_v not_o by_o misreport_n have_v they_o not_o their_o own_o paper_n to_o justify_v themselves_o and_o yet_o we_o know_v not_o why_o we_o may_v not_o write_v note_n as_o well_o as_o you_o write_v book_n we_o suppose_v that_o

for_o those_o that_o use_v sermon-note_n may_v not_o they_o express_v themselves_o more_o apt_o sometime_o then_o they_o write_v and_o why_o then_o may_v they_o not_o pray_v that_o god_n will_v
