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

and_o tremble_v be_v a_o saint_n of_o god_n and_o do_v it_o by_o the_o impulse_n of_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n the_o next_o thing_n i_o shall_v speak_v to_o be_v their_o doctrine_n and_o though_o i_o

a_o door_n or_o a_o shepherd_n it_o must_v be_v understand_v of_o christ_n their_o next_o error_n that_o i_o shall_v name_v error_n 2_o error_n and_o which_o be_v a_o consequence_n of_o the_o former_a be_v this_o that_o they_o say_v the_o scripture_n may_v not_o be_v call_v the_o word_n of_o god_n and_o in_o many_o of_o their_o book_n they_o blame_v the_o ministry_n of_o the_o nation_n and_o

if_o he_o do_v follow_v it_o to_o what_o purpose_n do_v they_o preach_v one_o to_o another_o so_o that_o they_o have_v no_o cause_n to_o impute_v the_o convert_n of_o man_n to_o their_o ministry_n for_o they_o may_v convert_v without_o it_o the_o last_o argument_n to_o which_o i_o say_v little_a then_o by_o reason_n i_o be_v interrupt_v with_o their_o women-preacher_n be_v this_o viz._n that_o it_o do_v appear_v they_o be_v immediate_o send_v of_o god_n because_o they_o do_v not_o give_v respect_n to_o person_n i_o answer_v first_o then_o all_z the_o quaker_n both_o man_n and_o woman_n be_v
