A86648	The common salvation contended for, and the faith which was once delivered to the saints· Or, An answer to a book called a plain answer to eighteen queries of Iohn Whitehead, put forth by William Kays, who calls himself minister of the Gospel at Stokesly; wherein he hath perverted the faith once delivered to the saints, and pleads for those things which the Scripture declares against, and so he is made manifest, not to be a minister of the everlasting Gospel, but preachesanother [sic] Gospel. The queries laid down, and the substance of his answer, with a reply to his answer. / By one who is a friend to all, who wait for the appearance of Iesus Christ without sin to salvation, known to the world by the name.

be_v truth_n and_o no_o lie_n and_o it_o guide_v they_o into_o all_o truth_n and_o here_o thou_o will_v divide_v the_o spirit_n of_o christ_n from_o the_o saint_n and_o here_o thy_o spirit_n be_v

disgrace_v the_o ministry_n such_o a_o minister_n thou_o be_v that_o a_o fallible_a spirit_n and_o a_o spirit_n of_o error_n be_v thy_o glory_n and_o therefore_o i_o say_v that_o spirit_n be_v not_o
