In which book he hath declared many perverse things against the people of God (called Quakers,) and for so much as is considerable, wherein that people are any way concerned, it is in the power of God here answered, by one who is set for the defence of the Gospel, William Smith.

manifestation_n for_o to_o remove_v suggest_v strengthen_v and_o raise_v be_v a_o work_n of_o the_o spirit_n but_o the_o teach_n of_o the_o spirit_n be_v in_o check_v reprove_v and_o convince_a and_o

that_o all_o the_o light_n in_o the_o world_n be_v never_o able_a to_o make_v we_o see_v divine_a truth_n save_o till_o we_o be_v enlighten_v of_o the_o lord_n answ_n then_o why_o be_v thou_o

in_o all_o we_o know_v say_v thou_o that_o it_o be_v but_o a_o changeling_n and_o not_o the_o genuine_a offspring_n of_o the_o spirit_n answ_n thou_o have_v say_v no_o light_n for_o salvation_n but_o
