A49772	A brief answer to three books, one by John Faldo, called an Independent, and two by Thomas Hicks a Baptist, put forth against the people called Quakers wherein the Presbyters, (Inde)pendents, and Baptists, though they differ among themselves, yet like Herod, Pontius Pilate, Judas, and the Jews are all joyn'd against the truth : but that which is not of God, shall not stand.	Lawrence, Thomas, 1645?-1714.	1673 (1673)	Wing L683; ESTC R7733	6,061	8

he_o be_v neither_o brief_a nor_o plain_a but_o endeavour_n in_o many_o page_n to_o manifest_v some_o great_a matter_n but_o his_o distinction_n and_o difference_n be_v not_o in_o substance_n but_o in_o circumstance_n not_o differ_v in_o truth_n and_o kind_a but_o in_o degree_n and_o measure_n there_o be_v diversity_n of_o gift_n administration_n and_o operation_n but_o the_o same_o spirit_n if_o j._n faldo_n have_v find_v out_o another_o spirit_n it_o be_v a_o false_a one_o j._n faldo_n will_v seem_v much_o a_o scholar_n but_o t._n hicks_n be_v more_o a_o subtle_a one_o he_o hide_v his_o
