A41067	A touch-stone, or, A perfect tryal by the Scriptures, of all the priests, bishops, and ministers, who have called themselves, the ministers of the Gospel whose time and day hath been in the last ages past, or rather in the night of apostacy : they are tried and weighed by the Scriptures of truth, and are found out of the life and power of the scriptures, and out of the spirit and doctrine of them that gave them forth, and quite contrary to their principle and practice, both Papists and Protestants : unto which is annexed, Womens speaking justified, &c.

little_a child_n be_v near_o the_o kingdom_n scripture_n of_o god_n and_o ready_a for_o the_o kingdom_n of_o god_n than_o any_o other_o for_o christ_n say_v several_a time_n whosoever_o will_v enter_v

of_o their_o own_o for_o there_o be_v nothing_o in_o scripture_n for_o it_o indeed_o john_n the_o baptist_n who_o be_v send_v before_o christ_n to_o preach_v the_o baptism_n of_o repentance_n he_o

and_o so_o afterward_o when_o christ_n be_v teach_v nichodemus_n when_o he_o tell_v he_o that_o those_o that_o be_v to_o enter_v into_o the_o kingdom_n of_o god_n must_v be_v bear_v of_o the_o water_n of_o the_o spirit_n these_o thing_n be_v strange_a unto_o he_o but_o condemn_v jesus_n say_v we_o speak_v what_o we_o know_v and_o testify_v what_o we_o have_v see_v and_o you_o believe_v not_o our_o
