A54075	The way of life and death made manifest and set before men whereby the many paths of death are impleaded, and the one path of life propounded and pleaded for in some positions concerning the apostacy from the Christian spirit and life, with some principles guiding out of it : as also in answers to some objections whereby the simplicity in some may be entangled : held forth in tender good will both Papists and Protestants who have generally erred from the faith for these many generations, since the dayes of the apostles, and with that which they have erred from are they comprehended / by Isac Pennington the younger.	Penington, Isaac, 1616-1679.; Fox, George, 1624-1691. Cause of all error.; Burrough, Edward, 1634-1662.

betray_v and_o hold_v captive_a by_o the_o whorish_a spirit_n that_o sit_v ruler_n in_o judgement_n i_o do_v not_o speak_v of_o all_o people_n of_o all_o sect_n that_o they_o have_v zeal_n and_o

that_o have_v be_v betray_v in_o they_o though_o sometime_o appear_v and_o stir_v and_o so_o the_o wrong_a part_n in_o people_n have_v feed_v upon_o the_o form_n and_o appearance_n and_o the_o seed_n

by_o this_o woman_n and_o her_o seed_n and_o this_o have_v be_v the_o state_n of_o the_o church_n for_o many_o age_n since_o the_o day_n of_o the_o apostle_n she_o hass_v be_v flee_v and_o her_o

the_o church_n the_o lamb_n wife_n hass_v be_v prevail_v against_o by_o the_o whore_n because_o it_o be_v say_v she_o have_v kill_v the_o saint_n the_o member_n of_o jesus_n and_o of_o the_o church_n this_o seem_v to_o show_v as_o if_o the_o church_n of_o christ_n have_v be_v prevail_v against_o but_o christ_n say_v the_o gate_n of_o hell_n shall_v not_o prevail_v against_o they_o but_o she_o
