A30035	The pilgrim's progress, from Quakerism to Christianity containing, a farther discovery of the dangerous growth of Quakerism, not only in points of doctrine, but also in their politicks, respecting their government, and opposite to it, together with their fund or common bank to support the same : with a remedy proposed for this malady, and the cure of Quakerism : to which is added an appendix, discovering a most damnable plot, contriv'd and carrying on by New-Rome, by an united confederacy, against the reformed religion and professors thereof, as will appear from the designs of their silent meetings, their monthly, quarterly, second-day, six-week, and yearly meeting, all which are particularly herein treated on / by ...

some_o may_v say_v what_o other_o way_n be_v there_o to_o put_v a_o stop_n to_o the_o growth_n of_o quakerism_n if_o they_o have_v this_o liberty_n such_o a_o expedient_a will_v be_v requisite_a if_o such_o a_o one_o be_v to_o be_v find_v answ_n i_o have_v once_o offer_v my_o thought_n in_o this_o case_n and_o shall_v now_o enlarge_v thereon_o for_o as_o i_o then_o say_v so_o i_o still_o believe_v that_o the_o main_a requisite_a to_o work_v a_o cure_n be_v to_o know_v the_o disease_n which_o when_o find_v out_o a_o ordinary_a practitioner_n may_v prescribe_v a_o remedy_n soon_o than_o a_o able_a physician_n who_o know_v not_o the_o disease_n beside_o this_o i_o have_v hear_v that_o when_o a_o bill_n for_o the_o well-tanning_a of_o leather_n be_v bring_v into_o the_o house_n of_o parliament_n one_o of_o the_o honourable_a house_n of_o lord_n be_v willing_a to_o inform_v himself_o into_o the_o nature_n of_o that_o affair_n he_o apply_v himself_o to_o a_o cobbler_n discourse_n with_o he_o about_o this_o that_o and_o the_o other_o default_n in_o leather_n and_o what_o way_n may_v be_v find_v to_o remedy_v the_o abuse_n thereof_o for_o the_o public_a good_n the_o cobbler_n tell_v his_o honour_n what_o he_o know_v by_o many_o year_n experience_n and_o tell_v his_o lordship_n how_o it_o may_v with_o ease_n be_v remedy_v insomuch_o that_o when_o the_o say_a bill_n come_v under_o debate_n in_o the_o house_n his_o lordship_n be_v so_o well_o skilled_a not_o only_o in_o the_o mean_n to_o be_v use_v but_o in_o the_o term_n of_o art_n that_o his_o lordship_n speak_v like_o some_o experience_a tanner_n who_o by_o his_o discourse_n give_v light_a to_o the_o whole_a house_n now_o whether_o this_o be_v so_o or_o no_o i_o will_v not_o determine_v but_o it_o be_v not_o improbable_a since_o the_o wise_a of_o man_n may_v sometime_o improve_v by_o such_o weak_a help_n as_o in_o other_o case_n it_o be_v frequent_a such_o a_o virtue_n be_v humility_n and_o thereupon_o
