A41067	A touch-stone, or, A perfect tryal by the Scriptures, of all the priests, bishops, and ministers, who have called themselves, the ministers of the Gospel whose time and day hath been in the last ages past, or rather in the night of apostacy : they are tried and weighed by the Scriptures of truth, and are found out of the life and power of the scriptures, and out of the spirit and doctrine of them that gave them forth, and quite contrary to their principle and practice, both Papists and Protestants : unto which is annexed, Womens speaking justified, &c.

without_o dissimulation_n abhor_v that_o which_o be_v evil_a cleave_v to_o that_o which_o be_v good_a and_o thus_o the_o apostle_n go_v on_o with_o gracious_a exhortation_n rom._n 12._o to_o the_o

5._o now_o christ_n be_v the_o fulfil_n of_o the_o law_n and_o the_o end_n of_o the_o law_n as_o the_o apostle_n say_v for_o righteousness_n and_o be_v that_o one_o offer_v that_o have_v be_v offer_v

say_v when_o he_o be_v speak_v of_o his_o priesthood_n and_o in_o as_o much_o as_o not_o without_o a_o oath_n he_o be_v make_v a_o priest_n for_o say_v he_o those_o priest_n to_o wit_n those_o that_o

the_o word_n be_v go_v out_o of_o my_o mouth_n in_o righteousness_n that_o to_o i_o every_o knee_n shall_v bow_v every_o tongue_n shall_v swear_v now_o the_o apostle_n paul_n rehearse_v these_o word_n
