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.

for_o he_o say_v this_o be_v a_o true_a say_n if_o any_o man_n desire_v the_o office_n of_o a_o bishop_n he_o desire_v a_o good_a work_n a_o bishop_n must_v be_v blameless_a the_o husband_n of_o one_o

since_o the_o apostasy_n have_v lay_v oppression_n and_o suffering_n upon_o other_o and_o they_o themselves_o have_v rule_v and_o lord_v over_o people_n conscience_n but_o the_o apostle_n paul_n say_v

suffer_v oppression_n and_o hardship_n and_o much_o detriment_n from_o such_o as_o be_v the_o profess_a ministry_n so_o these_o scripture_n with_o many_o more_o which_o may_v be_v mention_v show_v the_o contrariety_n between_o the_o minister_n of_o the_o gospel_n in_o the_o apostle_n day_n and_o the_o profess_a ministry_n that_o have_v be_v since_o the_o apostle_n day_n in_o the_o apostasy_n

for_o christ_n jesus_n who_o be_v the_o anoint_v of_o god_n preach_v glad_a tiding_n to_o the_o poor_a liberty_n to_o captive_n his_o commission_n that_o he_o give_v to_o his_o disciple_n be_v to_o
