A46221	Work for a cooper being an answer to a libel, written by Thomas Wynne the cooper, the ale-man, the quack, and the speaking-Quaker : with a brief account how that dissembling people differ at this day from what at first they were / by one who abundantly pities their ignorance and folly.	Jones, William, fl. 1679-1710.	1679 (1679)	Wing J1002; ESTC R12360	16,124	36

doleful_o all_o that_o have_v either_o honesty_n or_o courage_n to_o stem_n or_o thwart_v the_o current_n of_o their_o pride_n and_o avarice_n they_o use_v the_o good_a thing_n of_o this_o world_n

be_v quite_o another_o man_n be_v much_o give_v to_o meditation_n and_o prayer_n and_o so_o be_v not_o the_o quaker_n then_o isaac_n be_v not_o it_o seem_v beyond_o the_o possibility_n of_o a_o

be_v wont_a to_o say_v fix_v woe_n or_o joy_n a_o blessing_n or_o a_o curse_n irreversible_o to_o all_o eternity_n but_o if_o isaac_n be_v a_o quaker_n and_o yet_o nevertheless_o do_v err_v in_o so_o important_a a_o business_n why_o shall_v it_o be_v impossible_a for_o another_o quaker_n to_o err_v also_o sure_o it_o much_o behoove_v our_o second_o tom_n of_o bedlam_n to_o make_v a_o impartial_a and_o very_a strict_a enquiry_n into_o his_o own_o weakness_n and_o consider_v that_o the_o blindness_n of_o the_o understanding_n may_v be_v as_o ruinous_a at_o least_o as_o that_o of_o the_o body_n and_o that_o it_o be_v not_o impossible_a for_o he_o or_o any_o other_o quaker_n at_o this_o day_n to_o be_v under_o the_o same_o circumstance_n with_o those_o that_o have_v eye_n but_o will_v not_o

or_o caerwys_n but_o to_o manifest_v his_o worship_n ignorance_n i_o humble_o offer_v this_o towards_o a_o proof_n of_o the_o contrary_a that_o ezra_n in_o the_o six_o verse_n of_o the_o same_o chapter_n say_v o_o my_o god_n i_o be_o ashamed_a and_o blush_v to_o lift_v up_o my_o face_n to_o thou_o for_o our_o iniquity_n be_v go_v over_o our_o head_n and_o our_o trespass_n be_v grow_v up_o unto_o the_o heaven_n now_o those_o that_o know_v our_o thomas_n much_o better_a than_o he_o do_v himself_o do_v assure_v i_o that_o pray_v and_o blush_v be_v none_o of_o his_o way_n he_o never_o do_v so_o in_o all_o his_o life_n much_o less_o since_o first_o he_o turn_v his_o tub_n into_o a_o pulpit_n and_o that_o into_o a_o drum_n to_o beat_v up_o for_o volunteer_n for_o the_o prince_n of_o the_o air_n but_o then_o in_o the_o next_o place_n ezra_n do_v most_o evident_o acquit_v himself_o and_o his_o people_n of_o this_o charge_n for_o he_o arise_v and_o make_v the_o chief_a priest_n the_o levite_n and_o all_o israel_n to_o swear_v and_o they_o do_v so_o according_a to_o the_o law_n which_o most_o sufficient_o prove_v that_o they_o be_v no_o quaker_n and_o therefore_o our_o cinque_fw-fr

quaker_n do_v though_o but_o according_a to_o the_o law_n he_o will_v persuade_v we_o that_o all_o quaker_n be_v guide_v by_o the_o same_o unerring_a spirit_n how_o then_o come_v they_o so_o much_o to_o disagree_v ezra_n do_v blush_v but_o our_o thomas_n can_v ezra_n do_v repent_v our_o thomas_n will_v ezra_n and_o all_o israel_n do_v swear_v according_a to_o the_o law_n but_o our_o wise_a man_n of_o gotham_n be_v endue_v with_o a_o great_a light_n and_o know_v better_a thing_n in_o a_o word_n if_o the_o quaker_n will_v neither_o blush_v nor_o repent_v or_o swear_v lawful_o as_o israel_n here_o do_v then_o most_o certain_a it_o be_v that_o neither_o those_o israelite_n be_v true_a quaker_n nor_o these_o quaker_n true_a israelite_n and_o thus_o it_o be_v palpable_a enough_o that_o though_o our_o quaker_n will_v not_o humble_v himself_o to_o the_o take_n of_o a_o lawful_a oath_n yet_o he_o do_v not_o at_o all_o boggle_v the_o tell_n of_o a_o untruth_n but_o why_o our_o thomas_n
