A65867	The glory of Christ's light within expelling darkness being the sum of the controversie between the people called Quakers, and some of the non-conformist priests, as manifest at two publick disputes in Essex : between George Whitehead (called a Quaker) and Stephen Scandret (Presbyter) being at the latter dispute assisted with five more of his brethren, the priests, to wit, Nathaniel Barnard, Henry Havers, Henry Coleman, Nath.

first_o thus_o he_o shuffle_v and_o then_o his_o last_o question_n be_v whether_o the_o lord_n supper_n be_v not_o a_o ordinance_n of_o christ_n bind_v we_o this_o question_v we_o get_v not_o to_o to_o discuss_v nor_o do_v he_o explain_v what_o he_o mean_v by_o the_o lord_n supper_n howbeit_o he_o have_v tell_v g._n w._n in_o a_o paper_n that_o this_o light_n within_o do_v not_o dictate_v that_o baptism_n by_o water_n be_v god_n will_n nor_o that_o we_o ought_v to_o celebrate_v the_o lord_n supper_n etc._n etc._n so_o that_o you_o the_o hearer_n and_o follower_n of_o this_o s._n s._n
