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.	Ives, Jeremiah, fl. 1653-1674.	1656 (1656)	Wing I1103; Thomason E883_3; ESTC R207296	36,620	64

after_o the_o resurrection_n of_o christ_n it_o be_v not_o to_o be_v practise_v to_o which_o i_o answer_v that_o it_o be_v by_o christ_n command_v after_o that_o he_o rise_v from_o the_o dead_a see_v

of_o mat._n 28._o and_o mark_v 16._o be_v for_o to_o command_v the_o apostle_n to_o baptize_v with_o the_o holy_a ghost_n and_o fire_n they_o do_v ever_o obey_v it_o if_o they_o do_v show_v when_o and_o where_o three_o whether_o we_o may_v not_o judge_v that_o the_o baptise_v man_n and_o woman_n in_o water_n in_o the_o name_n of_o christ_n which_o the_o apostle_n frequent_o do_v be_v not_o in_o

then_o i_o demand_v five_o whether_o paul_n do_v in_o the_o name_n of_o the_o lord_n jesus_n impose_v circumcision_n upon_o timothy_n if_o not_o how_o do_v this_o parallel_n with_o the_o case_n in_o

leave_v to_o liberty_n i_o demand_v sixthly_a whether_o to_o command_v a_o thing_n to_o be_v do_v in_o the_o lord_n name_v which_o he_o command_v not_o be_v not_o to_o sin_v &_o take_v his_o name_n in_o vain_a see_v to_o this_o purpose_n deut._n 18.20_o but_o the_o prophet_n that_o shall_v presume_v to_o speak_v a_o word_n in_o my_o name_n which_o i_o have_v not_o command_v he_o to_o speak_v etc._n etc._n even_o the_o same_o prophet_n shall_v die_v seven_o and_o whereas_o it_o be_v allege_v that_o waterbaptism_n be_v a_o thing_n of_o indifferency_n that_o may_v be_v do_v or_o lawful_o leave_v undo_v i_o demand_v whether_o it_o be_v not_o then_o as_o great_a a_o sin_n in_o peter_n act_v 10._o to_o command_v the_o do_v of_o it_o in_o the_o name_n of_o the_o lord_n as_o it_o be_v for_o man_n to_o forbid_v to_o marry_v or_o to_o command_v to_o abstain_v from_o meat_n 1_o tim._n 4.2_o 3._o see_v that_o to_o command_v the_o do_v of_o that_o which_o god_n have_v leave_v to_o

i_o answer_v first_o how_o will_v this_o be_v prove_v that_o all_o they_o that_o be_v then-baptized_n be_v so_o command_v be_v not_o the_o contrary_a to_o this_o easy_o make_v manifest_a from_o act_n

he_o will_v have_v man_n serve_v christ_n as_o for_o instance_n suppose_v i_o do_v owe_v james_n nayler_n a_o sum_n of_o money_n and_o he_o shall_v desire_v i_o to_o pay_v he_o and_o shall_v urge_v this_o scripture_n owe_v nothing_o to_o any_o man_n as_o a_o argument_n to_o persuade_v i_o to_o pay_v he_o what_o if_o i_o shall_v say_v it_o be_v true_a james_n this_o be_v a_o command_n to_o they_o that_o can_v witness_v it_o in_o themselves_o and_o when_o by_o a_o immediate_a power_n they_o be_v inspire_v to_o the_o observance_n of_o it_o than_o they_o be_v to_o do_v it_o but_o till_o then_o they_o do_v not_o sin_n in_o omit_v of_o it_o and_o therefore_o when_o i_o can_v witness_v this_o text_n within_o i_o i_o will_v pay_v thou_o thy_o money_n do_v you_o think_v they_o will_v count_v
