A81196	The reading Quakers vindicated from false aspersions; shewing that unneighbourly proceedings is no testimony of Christianity or real Quakers, but destructive to Christian society	Curtis, Thomas, 17th cent.	1696 (1696)	Wing C7691A; ESTC R231362	5,286	8

who_o be_v a_o spirit_n the_o creator_n and_o upholder_n of_o all_o thing_n by_o the_o word_n of_o his_o eternal_a power_n who_o be_v infinite_a and_o incomprehensible_a in_o himself_o and_o all_o
