B08997 To all persons that have any sense of the reality of vertue in the pursuit of my design to demonstrate, that the people called Quakers, deserve more favour from the Church of England, than any other sort of dissenters.

Elys, Edmund, ca. 1634-ca. 1707. 1698 (1698) Wing E696A; ESTC R174970 1,788 5
