A61417	An apology for, and an invitation to the people call'd Quakers to rectifie some errors which through the scandals givers they have fallen into : wherein the true original causes both humane and divine of all the divisions of the church and mischiefs in the state and among the people are plainly and briefly opened and detected.	Stephens, Edward, d. 1706.	1697 (1697)	Wing S5417; ESTC R23660	29,103	65
