a_o brief_a return_n to_o a_o scandalous_a paper_n say_v to_o be_v publish_v by_o jeremy_n ives_n i_o have_v two_o reason_n not_o to_o doubt_v but_o that_o j._n i._n be_v the_o author_n of_o a_o sheet_n this_o day_n come_v to_o light_n entitle_v a_o sober_a request_n to_o the_o quaker_n first_o because_o the_o style_n and_o language_n of_o it_o be_v so_o like_o himself_o two_o because_o f._n smith_n a_o profess_a baptist_n own_v the_o print_n of_o it_o otherwise_o i_o shall_v have_v think_v needful_a to_o have_v know_v it_o from_o his_o own_o mouth_n which_o in_o many_o such_o like_a case_n be_v very_o necessary_a but_o believe_v it_o needless_a in_o this_o i_o proceed_v to_o meet_v this_o baptist-champion_n not_o only_o with_o a_o sober_a return_n but_o also_o with_o a_o serious_a reproof_n for_o his_o vain_a boast_n slanderous_a say_n and_o gross_a abuse_n against_o the_o say_a people_n obvious_a to_o every_o judicious_a impartial_a reader_n first_o i_o will_v signify_v to_o all_o people_n that_o j._n ives_n bare_o so_o i_o do_v not_o count_v it_o worth_a my_o time_n to_o write_v or_o discourse_n with_o he_o about_o matter_n relate_v to_o the_o pure_a christian-religion_n and_o have_v several_a good_a reason_n for_o the_o same_o but_o as_o he_o be_v depute_v the_o mouth_n of_o the_o baptist_n and_o late_o do_v present_v that_o people_n among_o who_o there_o have_v be_v and_o be_v many_o well_o meaning_n search_v inquire_v simple_a heart_a people_n who_o the_o lord_n have_v and_o will_v in_o due_a time_n answer_v with_o the_o manifestation_n of_o his_o love_n and_o presence_n i_o say_v as_o so_o i_o have_v and_o may_v concern_v myself_o with_o he_o and_o endeavour_v to_o detect_v he_o and_o his_o associate_n in_o their_o vain_a and_o fruitless_a attempt_n now_o jeremy_n as_o to_o thy_o boast_n of_o charge_v the_o quaker_n with_o be_v no_o christian_n etc._n etc._n i_o know_v and_o many_o other_o who_o be_v no_o quaker_n also_o know_v that_o thou_o have_v more_o impudence_n and_o boldness_n to_o charge_n than_o thou_o have_v strength_n or_o ability_n to_o prove_v thy_o tongue_n as_o the_o proverb_n go_v be_v no_o slander_n with_o many_o grave_a citizen_n and_o moderate_a people_n who_o walk_v not_o with_o the_o quaker_n neither_o be_v all_o thy_o syllogistical_a argument_n able_a to_o prove_v thyself_o a_o christian_n nor_o they_o none_o that_o ancient_a christian_a evidence_n record_v in_o the_o 8_o chapter_n to_o the_o roman_n verse_n 16._o the_o spirit_n itself_o bear_v witness_v with_o our_o spirit_n that_o

reason_v and_o thou_o may_v remember_v one_o day_n thou_o have_v be_v tell_v so_o now_o all_o people_n in_o short_a may_v understand_v this_o that_o the_o quaker_n account_v themselves_o public_o wrong_v and_o their_o principle_n evil_o represent_v to_o the_o nation_n by_o t._n hicks_n in_o his_o forge_v dialogue_n and_o have_v time_n after_o time_n offer_v to_o prove_v public_o the_o say_a person_n against_o all_o that_o abet_v he_o a_o forger_n slanderer_n and_o perverter_n of_o their_o word_n write_n and_o profession_n which_o have_v be_v hitherto_o on_o their_o part_n much_o evade_v and_o other_o thing_n introduce_v in_o the_o two_o last_o public_a meeting_n now_o the_o quaker_n business_n be_v to_o prove_v their_o charge_n aforesaid_a in_o the_o do_n of_o which_o they_o will_v prove_v themselves_o christian_n and_o dismantle_v themselves_o of_o those_o wild_a beast-skin_n which_o the_o baptist_n especial_o endeavour_v to_o wrap_v they_o up_o in_o that_o they_o may_v be_v hunt_v and_o devour_v as_o beast_n of_o prey_n i_o wish_v with_o all_o my_o heart_n it_o can_v be_v say_v of_o they_o as_o christ_n say_v of_o his_o persecutor_n father_n forgive_v they_o they_o know_v not_o what_o they_o do_v if_o it_o be_v do_v through_o zeal_n and_o ignorance_n their_o sin_n be_v the_o less_o and_o now_o if_o j._n i._n personate_v his_o brethren_n in_o this_o print_a sheet_n he_o have_v give_v they_o sufficient_a ground_n to_o augment_v their_o charge_n but_o if_o he_o speak_v upon_o his_o own_o head_n as_o single_a jeremy_n they_o may_v take_v the_o less_o notice_n of_o his_o slanderous_a say_n lie_n and_o gross_a abuse_n as_o where_o he_o say_v the_o quaker_n have_v write_v doctrine_n no_o way_n reconcilable_a to_o scripture-language_n or_o

allowance_n of_o thy_o brethren_n another_o time_n may_v minister_v occasion_n to_o speak_v further_o to_o they_o and_o as_o to_o thy_o earnest_a request_n to_o meet_v the_o quaker_n to_o prove_v

must_v tell_v thou_o thou_o be_v in_o my_o judgement_n fit_a to_o appear_v upon_o a_o mountebank_n stage_n then_o in_o a_o solemn_a religious_a christian_a assembly_n to_o dispute_v for_o christianity_n if_o they_o that_o employ_v thou_o as_o their_o mouth_n and_o champion_n gain_v any_o reputation_n or_o credit_n by_o it_o i_o fail_v in_o my_o judgement_n christianity_n need_v no_o mercenary_a agent_n to_o propagate_v its_o cause_n nor_o the_o corrupt_a weapon_n of_o a_o sophister_n to_o defend_v it_o neither_o can_v all_o its_o strength_n and_o cunning_a so_o much_o as_o shake_v any_o that_o be_v establish_v and_o settle_v in_o it_o thy_o labour_n be_v vain_a and_o foolish_a he_o that_o sit_v in_o heaven_n laugh_v thou_o to_o scorn_v and_o his_o child_n who_o walk_v in_o the_o least_o measure_n of_o his_o heavenly_a light_n see_v thy_o folly_n and_o do_v desire_v thou_o may_v come_v to_o see_v it_o thyself_o and_o cease_v from_o it_o that_o thou_o may_v adorn_v christianity_n and_o walk_v worthy_a of_o so_o venerable_a a_o name_n then_o will_v thou_o lay_v aside_o thy_o abusive_a slanderous_a say_n and_o foul_a aspersion_n of_o the_o people_n call_v quaker_n and_o their_o principle_n till_o than_o thy_o prayer_n for_o they_o will_v not_o be_v regard_v the_o very_a prayer_n of_o the_o wicked_a be_v sin_n neither_o can_v thou_o in_o truth_n subscribe_v thyself_o their_o friend_n for_o neither_o thou_o nor_o thy_o brother_n hicks_n have_v so_o show_v yourselves_o towards_o they_o i_o must_v needs_o say_v you_o have_v not_o do_v as_o you_o will_v be_v do_v by_o i_o remember_v when_o thou_o j.i._n late_o divulgedst_a absurd_a and_o ridiculous_a opinion_n in_o croyden_n marketplace_n detect_v see_v a_o book_n entitle_v the_o universality_n of_o the_o

object_n before_o he_o communicate_v they_o public_a which_o in_o my_o judgement_n be_v very_o honest_a and_o fair_a now_o if_o thy_o brother_n hicks_n when_o he_o have_v collect_v divers_a opinion_n which_o he_o pretend_v the_o quaker_n hold_v and_o when_o he_o have_v form_v and_o fashion_v his_o quaker_n with_o who_o he_o intend_v to_o dialogue_n if_o he_o have_v then_o send_v he_o to_o the_o quaker_n to_o see_v whether_o they_o will_v own_v he_o and_o his_o opinion_n he_o have_v deal_v like_o a_o friendly_a adversary_n and_o have_v prevent_v much_o trouble_n in_o general_n and_o excuse_v himself_o from_o much_o gild_n in_o particular_a as_o to_o thy_o postscript_n wherein_o thou_o desire_v a_o distinct_a meeting_n which_o shall_v have_v no_o respect_n to_o what_o the_o quaker_n
