A47167 A refutation of three opposers of truth by plain evidence of the holy Scripture, viz. I. Of Pardon Tillinghast, who pleadeth for water-baptism, its being a Gospel-precept, and opposeth Christ within, as a false Christ. To which is added, something concerning the Supper, &c. II. Of B. Keech, in his book called, A tutor for children, where he disputeth against the sufficiency of the light within, in order of salvation; and calleth Christ in the heart, a false Christ in the secret chamber. II. Of Cotton Mather, who in his appendix to his book, called, Memorable providences, relating to witchcrafts, &c. doth so weakly defend his father Increase Mather from being justly chargeable with abusing the honest people called Quakers, that he doth the more lay open his fathers nakedness; and beside the abuses and injuries that his father had cast upon that people, C. Mather, the son, addeth new abuses of his own. And a few words of a letter to John Cotton, called a minister, at Plymouth in New England. By George Keith. Keith, George, 1639?-1716. 1690 (1690) Wing K199; ESTC W21703 49,228 77

both_o the_o principle_n and_o person_n of_o the_o people_n call_v in_o scorn_n quaker_n first_o that_o he_o say_v the_o tenor_n of_o our_o doctrine_n show_v plain_o that_o jesus_n christ_n our_o

he_o do_v and_o suffer_v for_o we_o a_o atonement_n and_o propitiation_n unto_o god_n for_o our_o sin_n and_o that_o his_o obedience_n and_o suffering_n have_v purchase_v unto_o we_o as_o a_o most_o
