A47167	A refutation of three opposers of truth by plain evidence of the holy Scripture, viz. I. Of Pardon Tillinghast, who pleadeth for water-baptism, its being a Gospel-precept, and opposeth Christ within, as a false Christ. To which is added, something concerning the Supper, &c. II. Of B. Keech, in his book called, A tutor for children, where he disputeth against the sufficiency of the light within, in order of salvation; and calleth Christ in the heart, a false Christ in the secret chamber. II. Of Cotton Mather, who in his appendix to his book, called, Memorable providences, relating to witchcrafts, &c. doth so weakly defend his father Increase Mather from being justly chargeable with abusing the honest people called Quakers, that he doth the more lay open his fathers nakedness; and beside the abuses and injuries that his father had cast upon that people, C. Mather, the son, addeth new abuses of his own. And a few words of a letter to John Cotton, called a minister, at Plymouth in New England. By George Keith.

supper_n do_v not_o real_o eat_v and_o drink_v sufficient_o to_o refresh_v &_o nourish_v the_o natural_a body_n as_o well_o as_o together_o with_o that_o their_o soul_n be_v refresh_v and_o nourish_v

or_o any_o other_o by_o any_o outward_a force_n will_v destroy_v your_o church_n or_o extrude_v you_o out_o of_o your_o meeting_n house_n but_o that_o in_o due_a time_n god_n will_v open_v the_o eye_n of_o the_o people_n to_o see_v you_o to_o be_v that_o sort_n of_o false_a teacher_n who_o bring_v not_o christ_n doctrine_n and_o that_o on_o that_o account_n the_o people_n will_v not_o receive_v you_o into_o these_o house_n be_v their_o house_n and_o not_o you_o it_o be_v therefore_o most_o evident_a this_o gloss_n of_o thou_o upon_o my_o word_n be_v a_o mere_a forgery_n and_o calumny_n as_o if_o i_o do_v either_o wish_n or_o predict_v by_o some_o conjecture_n that_o any_o in_o present_a authority_n at_o that_o time_n be_v ever_o long_o purpose_v to_o destroy_v or_o overturn_v your_o

and_o as_o to_o my_o word_n that_o i_o lay_v in_o due_a time_n my_o hope_n be_v that_o god_n will_v open_v the_o eye_n of_o many_o people_n both_o in_o boston_n and_o new-england_n thou_o also_o make_v a_o mock_n of_o that_o expression_n in_o due_n time_n say_v ay_o no_o doubt_n of_o it_o in_o due_a time_n but_o i_o pray_v friend_n george_n say_v thou_o when_o shall_v this_o due_a time_n be_v

who_o have_v say_v he_o will_v overturn_v overturn_v overturn_v till_o he_o come_v to_o reign_v who_o right_a it_o be_v and_o that_o be_v the_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n spiritual_o and_o inward_o
