A87231	The Quakers quaking: or, the foundation of their deceit shaken, by scripture, reason, their own mouthes at several conferences. By all which will appear, that their quaking, ministery, doctrine, and lives, is a meer deceit, and themselves proved to be the great impostors of these latter times: / by Jeremiah Ives.

the_o letter_n allude_v to_o that_o place_n matth._n 28.19_o but_o i_o demand_v why_o these_o perfect_a man_n can_v speak_v perfect_a sense_n for_o what_o subtlety_n be_v it_o for_o a_o man_n to_o

of_o the_o spirit_n and_o fire_n when_o as_o the_o scripture_n tell_v we_o of_o a_o baptism_n with_o water_n which_o be_v also_o require_v of_o they_o that_o do_v believe_v but_o to_o evade_v the_o

after_o the_o resurrection_n of_o christ_n it_o be_v not_o to_o be_v practise_v to_o which_o i_o answer_v that_o it_o be_v by_o christ_n command_v after_o that_o he_o rise_v from_o the_o dead_a see_v

leave_v undo_v i_o demand_v whether_o it_o be_v not_o then_o as_o great_a a_o sin_n in_o peter_n act_v 10._o to_o command_v the_o do_v of_o it_o in_o the_o name_n of_o the_o lord_n as_o it_o be_v for_o man_n to_o forbid_v to_o marry_v or_o to_o command_v to_o abstain_v from_o meat_n 1_o tim._n 4.2_o 3._o see_v that_o to_o command_v the_o do_v of_o that_o which_o god_n have_v leave_v to_o liberty_n be_v a_o sin_n of_o equal_a extent_n with_o the_o forbid_v of_o that_o he_o have_v leave_v to_o liberty_n eight_o but_o if_o it_o shall_v be_v say_v as_o sometime_o it_o be_v that_o they_o in_o the_o primitive_a time_n do_v receive_v waterbaptism_n because_o they_o have_v a_o command_n immediate_o so_o to_o do_v and_o therefore_o we_o be_v not_o to_o be_v baptize_v till_o so_o command_v i_o answer_v first_o how_o will_v this_o be_v prove_v that_o all_o they_o that_o be_v then-baptized_n be_v so_o command_v be_v not_o the_o contrary_a to_o this_o easy_o make_v manifest_a from_o act_n 2._o and_o act_n 8._o and_o many_o other_o place_n where_o the_o people_n be_v mediate_o by_o mean_n of_o the_o apostle_n preach_v put_v upon_o this_o duty_n and_o not_o by_o extraordinary_a

he_o will_v have_v man_n serve_v christ_n as_o for_o instance_n suppose_v i_o do_v owe_v james_n nayler_n a_o sum_n of_o money_n and_o he_o shall_v desire_v i_o to_o pay_v he_o and_o shall_v urge_v this_o scripture_n owe_v nothing_o to_o any_o man_n as_o a_o argument_n to_o persuade_v i_o to_o pay_v he_o what_o if_o i_o shall_v say_v it_o be_v true_a james_n this_o be_v a_o command_n to_o they_o that_o can_v witness_v it_o in_o themselves_o and_o when_o by_o a_o immediate_a power_n they_o be_v inspire_v to_o the_o observance_n of_o it_o than_o they_o be_v to_o do_v it_o but_o till_o then_o they_o do_v not_o sin_n in_o omit_v of_o it_o and_o therefore_o when_o i_o can_v witness_v this_o text_n within_o i_o i_o will_v pay_v thou_o thy_o money_n do_v you_o think_v they_o will_v count_v
