A89859	Weaknes above wickednes, and truth above subtilty. Which is the Quakers defence against the boaster and his deceitfull slanders. Clearly seen in an answer to a book called Quakers quaking; devised by Jeremiah Ive's against the dispised contemptible people trampled on by the world, and scorned by the scorners. In which the deceits are turned into the deceivers bosome, and the truth cleared from the accuser. In much plainesse, that the simple may see and perceive, and come to be gathered to the Lamb, from amongst the armies of the wicked, who have now set themselves against the Lord, and sees it not. Also some queries to Jeremy Ive's touching his false doctrine and deceits. / by one who is called, James Nayler.	Naylor, James, 1617?-1660.	1656 (1656)	Wing N327; ESTC R207303	22,439	32

exclude_v thy_o thirteen_o error_n be_v that_o james_n nayler_n say_v that_o none_o can_v come_v unto_o god_n or_o christ_n but_o who_o come_v to_o perfection_n whereby_o it_o seem_v thou_o deny_v

who_o call_v this_o a_o error_n be_v easy_o see_v thy_o faith_n and_o thy_o doctrine_n who_o preach_v against_o perfection_n but_o the_o minister_n of_o christ_n preach_v to_o present_v every_o man_n perfect_a which_o thou_o preach_v against_o eph._n 4._o 11_o 12_o 13._o col._n 1._o 28._o so_o we_o rather_o choose_v the_o apostle_n doctrine_n which_o stand_v in_o the_o faith_n of_o god_n which_o believe_v perfection_n though_o by_o the_o infidel_n it_o be_v call_v error_n then_o embrace_v a_o doctrine_n of_o devil_n that_o do_v not_o believe_v perfection_n neither_o be_v there_o ever_o any_o of_o the_o child_n of_o god_n in_o thy_o work_n plead_v against_o perfection_n and_o for_o sin_n dwell_v in_o they_o thy_o fourteen_o error_n be_v that_o i_o say_v that_o at_o all_o season_n

needs_o be_v count_v a_o error_n with_o the_o belly_n god_n of_o the_o world_n who_o deny_v the_o faith_n of_o christ_n and_o so_o know_v no_o word_n in_o they_o to_o sanctify_v the_o creature_n such_o be_v not_o like_a to_o have_v communion_n with_o christ_n but_o with_o the_o lust_n who_o serve_v their_o own_o belly_n who_o be_v at_o the_o table_n of_o devil_n be_v not_o like_a to_o have_v

drink_v thereof_o to_o do_v it_o in_o remembrance_n of_o he_o till_o he_o come_v if_o this_o be_v receive_v for_o a_o truth_n the_o devil_n know_v there_o be_v no_o place_n for_o the_o lust_n and_o so_o will_v hold_v it_o for_o a_o error_n that_o he_o may_v feed_v without_o fear_n thy_o fifteen_o error_n be_v that_o james_n parnell_n deny_v all_o baptism_n but_o that_o of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n so_o that_o to_o own_o the_o baptism_n of_o christ_n and_o to_o deny_v all_o else_o with_o thou_o be_v count_v a_o error_n but_o do_v not_o the_o apostle_n err_v also_o who_o say_v we_o be_v all_o
