A48937	Quakerism no paganism: or, A friendly reply to W.R. his unfriendly discourse intituled, Quakerism is paganism Shewing the insufficiency of what he hath written to unchristian the Quakers, and to render them as heathens and pagans to the people By W.L. a lover of peace more than of parties.	Loddington, William, 1626?-1711.	1674 (1674)	Wing L2805; ESTC R216893	25,726	71

the_o close_a of_o the_o title_n page_n a_o abominable_a untruth_n and_o that_o they_o seem_v to_o have_v no_o regard_n to_o truth_n or_o honesty_n if_o these_o be_v not_o angry_a word_n i_o know_v

doctrine_n will_v hardly_o keep_v people_n awake_v while_o they_o be_v preach_v up_o even_o from_o scripture_n authority_n they_o may_v well_o say_v unto_o we_o physician_n heal_v yourselves_o agree_v among_o yourselves_o you_o wise_a and_o learned_a what_o be_v the_o mind_n and_o meaning_n of_o the_o scripture_n about_o which_o now_o you_o dispute_v and_o then_o we_o will_v more_o willing_o

and_o put_v their_o life_n and_o conversation_n into_o one_o balance_n of_o the_o sanctuary_n and_o the_o life_n of_o any_o other_o sort_n of_o christian_n into_o the_o other_o and_o if_o they_o be_v find_v the_o light_a i_o will_v never_o speak_v a_o word_n more_o for_o they_o as_o a_o people_n how_o long_o must_v we_o wait_v to_o know_v a_o corrupt_a principle_n they_o have_v be_v among_o we_o about_o six_o or_o seven_o and_o twenty_o year_n and_o yet_o we_o see_v no_o corrupt_a practice_n grow_v from_o their_o principle_n certain_o be_v such_o evil_a fruit_n as_o you_o imagine_v natural_a to_o the_o tree_n we_o shall_v have_v see_v it_o before_o now_o for_o you_o say_v when_o a_o man_n conscience_n be_v debauch_a we_o shall_v quick_o see_v he_o a_o man_n of_o a_o debauch_a conversation_n the_o six_o charge_n be_v that_o the_o speak_n of_o the_o spirit_n in_o any_o be_v of_o great_a authority_n than_o the_o scripture_n to_o this_o i_o say_v and_o i_o see_v no_o cause_n to_o alter_v my_o say_n that_o there_o be_v no_o reason_n for_o this_o charge_n to_o be_v draw_v from_o g._n whiteheads_n word_n for_o these_o word_n and_o great_a be_v add_v to_o the_o close_n of_o the_o sentence_n do_v plain_o signify_v to_o i_o that_o it_o must_v relate_v to_o the_o influence_n for_o what_o do_v authority_n signify_v without_o influence_n of_o what_o worth_n be_v the_o authority_n of_o a_o magistrate_n where_o his_o command_n be_v not_o regard_v now_o it_o must_v be_v the_o spirit_n open_v of_o our_o heart_n as_o it_o do_v the_o heart_n of_o lydia_n to_o hearken_v to_o the_o scripture_n and_o suffer_v they_o to_o have_v any_o impression_n upon_o we_o or_o authority_n over_o we_o wherefore_o vv._n r._n say_v well_o that_o whatever_o good_a effect_n the_o preacher_n doctrine_n have_v upon_o the_o soul_n it_o be_v wrought_v by_o those_o word_n not_o as_o they_o be_v the_o word_n of_o man_n but_o as_o indeed_o the_o word_n of_o god_n which_o effectual_o

without_o the_o inward_a operation_n and_o conviction_n of_o the_o holy_a spirit_n therefore_o i_o see_v no_o evil_a in_o ascribe_v the_o great_a to_o the_o spirit_n so_o long_o as_o they_o give_v a_o great_a authority_n to_o the_o scripture_n both_o which_o g._n vv._n do_v in_o his_o answer_n cite_v by_o t._n h._n viz._n that_o which_o be_v speak_v from_o the_o spirit_n of_o truth_n in_o any_o

consult_v with_o will_v deter_v person_n from_o believe_v the_o quaker_n feign_v revelation_n therefore_o it_o be_v they_o so_o much_o endeavour_v to_o beget_v in_o the_o mind_n of_o man_n a_o ill_a
