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.

without_o dissimulation_n abhor_v that_o which_o be_v evil_a cleave_v to_o that_o which_o be_v good_a and_o thus_o the_o apostle_n go_v on_o with_o gracious_a exhortation_n rom._n 12._o to_o the_o

5._o now_o christ_n be_v the_o fulfil_n of_o the_o law_n and_o the_o end_n of_o the_o law_n as_o the_o apostle_n say_v for_o righteousness_n and_o be_v that_o one_o offer_v that_o have_v be_v offer_v

where_o he_o say_v when_o god_n make_v a_o promise_n to_o abraham_n because_o he_o can_v swear_v by_o no_o great_a he_o swear_v by_o himself_o say_v sure_o in_o blessing_n i_o will_v bless_v thou_o
