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

that_o he_o have_v at_o any_o time_n do_v a_o miracle_n we_o will_v believe_v he_o hereupon_o he_o tell_v we_o that_o he_o will_v prove_v his_o extraordinary_a call_n both_o by_o himself_o and_o other_o witness_n and_o to_o make_v this_o good_a he_o give_v we_o a_o narrative_a how_o be_v be_v before_o the_o magistrate_n of_o appleby_n and_o tell_v they_o how_o god_n call_v he_o in_o the_o

this_o be_v a_o mere_a deceit_n for_o we_o expect_v he_o shall_v prove_v the_o truth_n of_o his_o call_n and_o he_o go_v to_o prove_v that_o he_o tell_v the_o magistrate_n of_o appleby_n he_o be_v

to_o dispute_v some_o other_o point_n of_o doctrine_n viz._n whether_o faith_n be_v the_o gift_n of_o god_n and_o the_o like_a to_o which_o i_o answer_v that_o if_o he_o can_v prove_v that_o he_o be_v immediate_o send_v of_o god_n we_o will_v believe_v all_o he_o say_v and_o if_o he_o do_v but_o that_o it_o will_v save_v we_o a_o labour_n to_o dispute_v other_o point_n for_o if_o he_o do_v prove_v
