A62427	The Quakers quibbles in three parts : first set forth in an expostulatory epistle to Will. Pfnn [i.e. Penn] concerning the late meeting held to Barbycan between the Baptists and the Quakers, also the pretended prophet Lod. Muggleton and the Quakers compared : the second part, in reply to a quibbling answer to G. Whiteheads, entituled The Quakers plainness ... : the third part, being a continuation of their quibbles ... / by the same indifferent pen.	Thompson, Thomas.; Hedworth, Henry.; Penn, William, 1644-1718.	1675 (1675)	Wing T1013; ESTC R41153	141,349	262

that_o the_o church_n of_o christ_n be_v his_o body_n and_o when_o i_o answer_v he_o that_o be_v only_o figurative_o or_o by_o way_n of_o allusion_n that_o as_o all_o the_o natural_a member_n compact_v together_o and_o unite_a to_o the_o head_n make_v a_o natural_a body_n 12.5_o so_o the_o church_n be_v knit_v together_o by_o one_o profession_n and_o baptism_n as_o member_n of_o a_o body_n

after_o the_o same_o manner_n of_o reason_v and_o quibble_v i_o may_v as_o well_o say_v mr._n keith_n in_o the_o dispute_n by_o his_o distinction_n make_v three_o christ_n when_o he_o tell_v we_o more_o than_o once_o that_o christ_n be_v most_o proper_o take_v for_o the_o godhead_n or_o divine_a nature_n less_o proper_o for_o the_o manhood_n or_o humane_a nature_n and_o lest_o proper_o of_o all_o for_o the_o carcase_n now_o after_o this_o rate_n may_v not_o one_o say_v that_o the_o quaker_n say_v there_o be_v three_o christ_n in_a scripture_n a_o most_o proper_a christ_n and_o a_o less_o proper_a christ_n and_o a_o christ_n least_o proper_a and_o that_o with_o as_o much_o truth_n as_o for_o they_o to_o affirm_v christ_n will_v be_v a_o monster_n on_o the_o account_n above_o for_o
