A90808	The holy scripture clearing it self of scandals: or, An answer to a book written by Richard Farnworth, who is commonly called a Quaker, bearing this title, Truth cleared of scandals. In this answer, you have the substance of a dispute at Harliston in Staffordshire, between Richard Faruworth [sic] and the author, in the yeer 1654. Written by Tho. Pollard, a member of the Church of Christ, gathered in, and about, Leichfield. Whereunto is added, Certain considerations and queries concerning those people called the Quakers; with desire of an answer. As also, a postscript, manifesting their folly in pretending a necessity of using the terms thee and thou to a single person. / By Henry Haggar, a servant of Jesus Christ, and of the congregation of his saints.	Pollard, Thomas, fl. 1655.; Haggar, Henry.	1655 (1655)	Wing P2775; Thomason E857_8; Thomason E842_10; ESTC R206619	43,888	64

to_o walk_v by_o but_o for_o a_o perfection_n in_o glory_n to_o be_v attain_v on_o this_o side_n the_o grave_a this_o i_o utter_o disow_v as_o also_o what_o farnworth_n say_v to_o i_o at_o harliston_n that_o the_o resurrection_n and_o eternal_a judgement_n be_v then_o past_a in_o he_o i_o own_v not_o but_o disown_n for_o i_o believe_v the_o resurrection_n of_o the_o dead_a both_o of_o the_o just_a and_o of_o the_o unjust_a as_o paul_n say_v act._n 24.15_o and_o now_o reader_n you_o have_v a_o view_n of_o these_o man_n that_o their_o principle_n be_v very_o unsound_a and_o why_o i_o say_v these_o man_n because_o what_o farnworth_n then_o affirm_v other_o of_o his_o company_n stand_v by_o to_o maintain_v and_o in_o a_o few_o word_n i_o shall_v give_v you_o brief_o what_o one_o daniel_n

to_o say_v that_o all_o that_o be_v get_v from_o the_o scripture_n be_v but_o brain-knowledge_n and_o a_o great_a deal_n of_o suchlike_a stuff_n he_o be_v fill_v with_o if_o any_o man_n make_v
