A89135	Antichrist in man the Quakers Idol. Or a faithfull discovery of their ways and opinions by an eye and ear-witness thereof. Together with an answer and confutation of some dangerous and damnable doctrines justified, in a paper sent by them unto me: as also one of them taken with a lie in his mouth before the magistrates. / By Joshuah Miller, a servant of Christ in the work of the Gospel.

lighten_v all_o true_o christ_n be_v god_n yet_o not_o as_o he_o be_v call_v christ_n for_o so_o he_o be_v a_o mediator_n a_o middle_a person_n betwixt_o god_n and_o man_n therefore_o if_o they_o
