A41067 A touch-stone, or, A perfect tryal by the Scriptures, of all the priests, bishops, and ministers, who have called themselves, the ministers of the Gospel whose time and day hath been in the last ages past, or rather in the night of apostacy : they are tried and weighed by the Scriptures of truth, and are found out of the life and power of the scriptures, and out of the spirit and doctrine of them that gave them forth, and quite contrary to their principle and practice, both Papists and Protestants : unto which is annexed, Womens speaking justified, &c.

jesus_n that_o be_v within_o they_o which_o preach_v in_o a_o mystery_n and_o preach_v righteousness_n very_o nigh_o in_o their_o heart_n and_o will_v cleanse_v their_o inward_a part_n and_o make_v

the_o light_n as_o he_o be_v in_o the_o light_n and_o here_o be_v the_o fellowship_n and_o unity_n of_o the_o saint_n in_o light_n jesus_n christ_n the_o righteous_a rule_v in_o their_o heart_n and_o
