A30034	The painted-harlot both stript and whipt, or, The second part of Naked truth containing a further discovery of the mischief of imposition among the people called Quakers by reason of a certain law or edict made by G. Whitehead, S. Crisp, and others of the leaders and preachers of G.F's party ... strictly requiring us neither to forsake, decline, nor remove our meetings like wordly, fearful, and politick professors : whereby their usurpations are mainfest and how they began to exercise dominion over the consciences of their brethren ... / by F.
