A75478	Anti-Quakerism, or, A character of the Quakers spirit, from its original and first cause. / Written by a pious gentleman that hath been thirteen years amongst the Separatists to make observations, and is now returned home with a full intent to lay open the whole mystery of iniquity, in unvailing the whore, that men may no longer drink of the wine of her fornications; he hath vowed a single life, and given himself up wholly to the exercises of the mind. And here he hath described the spirit of Quakerism. 1. Being a precise Puritan. 2. An Anabaptist. 3. A Seeker. 4. A Ranter. 5. A Quaker, and indeed what not, all things, and nothing. By which character every man may in some measure see the deceitfulness of his own imagination and be careful, and watch himself accordinly [sic].

accordin_o i_o have_v be_v in_o the_o valley_n of_o siddim_n there_o i_o meet_v with_o a_o ranter_n a_o seeker_n a_o quaker_n a_o puritan_n and_o he_o tell_v i_o from_o the_o light_n within_o all_o

and_o first_o i_o will_v they_o anatomize_v in_o divers_a shape_n of_o their_o own_o guise_n then_o to_o their_o conscience_n i_o will_v go_v to_o see_v if_o this_o be_v true_a or_o no_o and_o first_o he_o be_v a_o puritan_n wear_n short_a hair_n and_o little_a band_n then_o i_o thy_o conscience_n do_v extol_v till_o thou_o will_v wear_v no_o band_n at_o all_o then_o thou_o find_v fault_n with_o sing_v psalm_n and_o say_v they_o be_v as_o black_a as_o charm_n but_o now_o in_o sing_v you_o delight_n song_n of_o your_o own_o make_v by_o the_o spirit_n thy_o custom_n be_v to_o fast_v and_o

will_v be_v your_o father_n without_o doubt_n then_o can_v not_o you_o no_o long_o stay_v but_o leave_v the_o church_n without_o delay_n then_o he_o turn_v anabaptist_n then_o you_o together_o take_v
