B09693	Antichrist in spirit unmasked: or, Quakerism a great delusion. Being an answer to a pamphlet lately published and dispersed in and about Deptford in Kent, intituled The Christianity of the people commonly called Quakers. Which they say is asserted against the unjust charge of their being no Christians, upon several questions relating to those matters wherein their Christian belief is questioned. By which pamphlet they would perswade the world that the Quakers are Christians. In which answer you have their deceit detected, their pretended faith examined and proved a counterfeit / by Edw.

and_o err_v the_o argument_n lie_v here_o because_o christ_n be_v call_v the_o word_n the_o scripture_n must_v not_o be_v so_o call_v john_n say_v the_o word_n be_v god_n then_o the_o scripture_n can_v be_v the_o word_n except_o they_o be_v god_n also_o it_o seem_v by_o the_o quaker_n logic_n they_o be_v deceiver_n and_o err_v that_o call_v the_o scripture_n the_o word_n of_o god_n the_o
