A41067	A touch-stone, or, A perfect tryal by the Scriptures, of all the priests, bishops, and ministers, who have called themselves, the ministers of the Gospel whose time and day hath been in the last ages past, or rather in the night of apostacy : they are tried and weighed by the Scriptures of truth, and are found out of the life and power of the scriptures, and out of the spirit and doctrine of them that gave them forth, and quite contrary to their principle and practice, both Papists and Protestants : unto which is annexed, Womens speaking justified, &c.

his_o bait_n and_o it_o be_v much_o if_o they_o cast_v not_o themselves_o down_o for_o it_o be_v contrary_a to_o the_o doctrine_n of_o christ_n for_o his_o exhortation_n be_v that_o they_o shall_v

they_o both_o go_v into_o the_o ditch_n one_o thing_n they_o allege_v for_o tithe_n be_v that_o melchisedec_n take_v tithe_n when_o abraham_n pay_v they_o gen._n 14._o when_o abraham_n return_v from_o
