A90808	The holy scripture clearing it self of scandals: or, An answer to a book written by Richard Farnworth, who is commonly called a Quaker, bearing this title, Truth cleared of scandals. In this answer, you have the substance of a dispute at Harliston in Staffordshire, between Richard Faruworth [sic] and the author, in the yeer 1654. Written by Tho. Pollard, a member of the Church of Christ, gathered in, and about, Leichfield. Whereunto is added, Certain considerations and queries concerning those people called the Quakers; with desire of an answer. As also, a postscript, manifesting their folly in pretending a necessity of using the terms thee and thou to a single person. / By Henry Haggar, a servant of Jesus Christ, and of the congregation of his saints.	Pollard, Thomas, fl. 1655.; Haggar, Henry.	1655 (1655)	Wing P2775; Thomason E857_8; Thomason E842_10; ESTC R206619	43,888	64

and_o the_o same_o end_n namely_o to_o glorify_v god_n to_o be_v useful_a to_o his_o church_n and_o to_o all_o man_n now_o we_o will_v see_v how_o the_o mind_n of_o christ_n be_v when_o he_o be_v go_v to_o heaven_n and_o we_o shall_v find_v he_o be_v of_o the_o same_o mind_n to_o maintain_v ordinance_n as_o well_o as_o when_o he_o be_v on_o the_o earth_n and_o for_o this_o see_v a_o plain_a text_n of_o scripture_n act_v 9.6_o and_o the_o lord_n say_v unto_o saul_n arise_v and_o go_v into_o the_o city_n and_o it_o shall_v be_v tell_v thou_o what_o thou_o must_v do_v and_o as_o the_o lord_n
