A70157	A just defence and vindication of Gospel ministers and Gospel ordinances against the Quakers many false accusations, slanders and reproaches. In ansvver to John Horwood his letter, and E.B. his book, called, A just and lawful tryal of the ministers and teachers of this age, and several others. Proving the ministers calling and maintenance just and lawful, and the doctrine of perfection by free justification, preached by them, agreeable to the scriptures. VVith the Quakers objections answered. And the Quakers perfection by hearkning to, and obeying a light within them, proved contrary to the scriptures. And their practices in ten particulars proved contrary to the commands and examples of Christ and his apostles. By a lover of gospel ministers and gospel ordinances.

absurdity_n that_o do_v follow_v upon_o your_o interpretation_n and_o for_o a_o full_a clear_n of_o the_o text_n in_o the_o corinth_n consider_v the_o word_n before_o the_o apostle_n say_v you_o may_v all_o prophesy_v one_o by_o one_o 34._o that_o all_o may_v learn_v for_o god_n be_v not_o the_o author_n of_o confusion_n now_o lest_o the_o woman_n from_o the_o word_n all_v shall_v think_v

silence_n in_o the_o church_n for_o it_o be_v not_o permit_v unto_o they_o to_o speak_v where_o take_v notice_n that_o the_o apostle_n speak_v in_o the_o plural_a number_n woman_n and_o not_o permit_v unto_o they_o to_o speak_v the_o apostle_n always_o when_o he_o speak_v of_o the_o flesh_n speak_v in_o the_o singular_a number_n flesh_n also_o the_o apostle_n speak_v in_o the_o plural_a number_n husband_n and_o not_o in_o the_o singular_a husband_n by_o which_o you_o may_v see_v what_o most_o barbarous_a conclusion_n will_v follow_v upon_o your_o interpretation_n for_o if_o by_o the_o woman_n be_v mean_v the_o flesh_n and_o by_o ask_v their_o husband_n be_v mean_v christ_n then_o be_v christ_n the_o husband_n of_o the_o flesh_n and_o that_o there_o be_v more_fw-mi christ_n then_o one_o

of_o other_o whether_o man_n or_o woman_n that_o give_v such_o interpretation_n of_o scripture_n and_o maintain_v such_o gross_a error_n also_o the_o example_n of_o all_o the_o church_n of_o christ_n
