A51566	Liberty of conscience asserted against imposition proposed in several sober queries to those of the people called Quakers who have assumed such an authority contrary to their former testimonies, as also unto those that have submitted unto it before they found convictions in themselves, for them to weigh and consider in the ballance of true judgment / [by] William Mucklowe.
