A87231	The Quakers quaking: or, the foundation of their deceit shaken, by scripture, reason, their own mouthes at several conferences. By all which will appear, that their quaking, ministery, doctrine, and lives, is a meer deceit, and themselves proved to be the great impostors of these latter times: / by Jeremiah Ives.

to_o give_v they_o where_o and_o when_o they_o be_v due_a seven_o they_o be_v not_o infallible_a as_o they_o pretend_v this_o i_o prove_v because_o if_o one_o propose_v a_o question_n to_o one_o of_o

than_o he_o have_v a_o body_n beside_o the_o church_n but_o he_o have_v a_o body_n that_o be_v break_v for_o his_o church_n ergo._n the_o major_n be_v unquestionable_a or_o else_o christ_n give_v

christ_n have_v be_v pester_v even_o in_o the_o primitive_a time_n and_o that_o not_o only_o in_o the_o day_n of_o the_o apostle_n but_o in_o the_o age_n follow_v wherein_o man_n do_v rise_v up_o and_o say_v they_o be_v send_v of_o god_n and_o afterward_o grow_v into_o such_o blasphemous_a opinion_n as_o these_o man_n be_v now_o fall_v into_o some_o say_n they_o be_v the_o eternal_a judge_n of_o the_o world_n other_o say_v the_o day_n of_o judgement_n be_v past_a other_o say_v they_o have_v divine_a revelation_n other_o say_v they_o be_v christ_n and_o that_o they_o be_v the_o way_n the_o truth_n and_o the_o life_n etc._n etc._n and_o that_o these_o man_n do_v agree_v with_o most_o of_o the_o heretic_n both_o ancient_n and_o modern_a i_o shall_v mention_v some_o few_o among_o the_o rest_n as_o first_o they_o have_v affinity_n with_o hymeneus_n and_o philetus_n who_o say_v that_o the_o resurrection_n be_v pass_v already_o 1_o tim._n 2.18_o in_o that_o they_o as_o i_o have_v

agree_v with_o the_o forecited_n heretic_n inasmuch_o as_o they_o teach_v that_o christ_n do_v not_o take_v flesh_n real_o but_o in_o a_o figure_n so_o say_v these_o for_o one_o of_o they_o be_v ask_v

the_o writing_n of_o their_o general_a counsel_n of_o equal_a authority_n with_o holy_a scripture_n so_o do_v the_o quaker_n make_v their_o pernicious_a pamphlet_n and_o at_o this_o they_o exceed_v the_o papist_n for_o the_o papist_n will_v not_o say_v that_o none_o of_o their_o priest_n have_v err_v neither_o will_v they_o say_v that_o the_o write_n of_o any_o particular_a man_n except_o the_o

either_o particular_a man_n or_o woman_n brain_n 3._o they_o agree_v with_o the_o papist_n priest_n in_o that_o they_o will_v make_v the_o outside_n of_o their_o conversation_n a_o argument_n to_o

that_o the_o conscience_n may_v be_v misguide_v and_o therefore_o it_o do_v not_o follow_v that_o a_o thing_n be_v therefore_o true_a because_o a_o man_n in_o conscience_n think_v it_o so_o i_o therefore_o as_o before_o call_v for_o a_o plain_a text_n for_o proof_n of_o what_o he_o say_v he_o thereupon_o bring_v eph._n 5.13_o 2_o cor._n 4.6_o i_o tell_v he_o neither_o of_o these_o
