A23660	The danger of enthusiasm discovered in an epistle to the Quakers : in which 'tis endeavoured, to convince them of being guilty of changing God's method of bringing men to salvation / by one who is no more an enemy to their opinions, than their opinions are enemies to them themselves.	Allen, William, d. 1686.	1674 (1674)	Wing A1058; ESTC R13150	64,102	137

well_o as_o persuade_v they_o to_o do_v it_o as_o appear_v abundant_o in_o your_o book_n particular_o in_o those_o of_o edward_n burrough_n so_o that_o by_o this_o tergiversation_n and_o shuffle_n
