A90808	The holy scripture clearing it self of scandals: or, An answer to a book written by Richard Farnworth, who is commonly called a Quaker, bearing this title, Truth cleared of scandals. In this answer, you have the substance of a dispute at Harliston in Staffordshire, between Richard Faruworth [sic] and the author, in the yeer 1654. Written by Tho. Pollard, a member of the Church of Christ, gathered in, and about, Leichfield. Whereunto is added, Certain considerations and queries concerning those people called the Quakers; with desire of an answer. As also, a postscript, manifesting their folly in pretending a necessity of using the terms thee and thou to a single person. / By Henry Haggar, a servant of Jesus Christ, and of the congregation of his saints.	Pollard, Thomas, fl. 1655.; Haggar, Henry.	1655 (1655)	Wing P2775; Thomason E857_8; Thomason E842_10; ESTC R206619	43,888	64

and_o the_o same_o end_n namely_o to_o glorify_v god_n to_o be_v useful_a to_o his_o church_n and_o to_o all_o man_n now_o we_o will_v see_v how_o the_o mind_n of_o christ_n be_v when_o he_o be_v go_v

of_o scripture_n act_v 9.6_o and_o the_o lord_n say_v unto_o saul_n arise_v and_o go_v into_o the_o city_n and_o it_o shall_v be_v tell_v thou_o what_o thou_o must_v do_v and_o as_o the_o lord_n

why_o tarry_v thou_o arise_v and_o be_v baptize_v and_o wash_v away_o thy_o sin_n call_v on_o the_o name_n of_o the_o lord_n by_o which_o it_o be_v plain_a that_o christ_n be_v of_o the_o same_o mind_n to_o maintain_v ordinance_n in_o his_o church_n after_o his_o ascension_n as_o before_o but_o when_o i_o instance_a these_o scripture_n farnworth_n say_v that_o this_o be_v not_o waterbaptism_n that_o paul_n be_v baptize_v with_o but_o the_o baptism_n of_o the_o spirit_n as_o many_o can_v witness_v but_o i_o think_v no_o sober_a man_n will_v be_v of_o this_o man_n judgement_n for_o 1._o consider_v if_o it_o be_v the_o baptism_n of_o the_o spirit_n it_o be_v too_o high_a for_o ananias_n as_o he_o be_v a_o disciple_n to_o carry_v on_o and_o without_o question_n we_o shall_v have_v find_v ananias_n answer_v paul_n as_o john_n confess_v in_o another_o place_n i_o indeed_o baptize_v with_o water_n but_o there_o be_v one_o come_v after_o i_o he_o shall_v baptize_v with_o the_o holy_a ghost_n 2._o it_o will_v be_v very_o absurd_a to_o give_v that_o to_o man_n that_o be_v christ_n proper_a and_o peculiar_a right_n but_o it_o be_v no_o wonder_n to_o find_v these_o man_n thus_o deal_v with_o christ_n himself_o that_o will_v thus_o wicked_o speak_v against_o his_o ordinance_n but_o

28.26_o the_o second_o thing_n that_o this_o farnworth_n affirm_v that_o when_o paul_n speak_v those_o word_n in_o the_o seven_o of_o the_o roman_n where_o he_o cry_v out_o of_o a_o body_n of_o

the_o gospel_n and_o so_o eminent_a a_o apostle_n of_o christ_n and_o unconvert_v here_o let_v we_o try_v by_o the_o scripture_n whether_o it_o be_v so_o or_o no_o first_o see_v act_n 9.5_o 6._o when_o the_o voice_n from_o heaven_n which_o voice_n be_v christ_n that_o say_v to_o he_o saul_n saul_n why_o persecute_v thou_o i_o he_o tremble_v and_o astonish_v say_v lord_n what_o will_v thou_o have_v i_o to_o do_v the_o lord_n send_v he_o to_o ananias_n and_o when_o he_o have_v manifest_v his_o faith_n in_o christ_n by_o his_o obedience_n to_o christ_n he_o straightway_o preach_v christ_n in_o the_o synagogue_n to_o be_v the_o son_n of_o god_n and_o further_o see_v vers_fw-la 27._o of_o this_o nine_o chapter_n where_o it_o be_v make_v plain_a to_o the_o apostle_n and_o he_o be_v with_o they_o coming_z in_o and_o go_v out_o at_o jerusalem_n and_o he_o speak_v bold_o in_o the_o name_n of_o jesus_n christ_n and_o dispute_v against_o the_o grecian_n and_o this_o whole_a chapter_n make_v it_o evident_a both_o in_o what_o he_o do_v and_o suffer_v that_o he_o be_v convert_v and_o further_o see_v rom._n 1.1_o paul_n a_o servant_n of_o jesus_n christ_n then_o sure_o convert_v else_o no_o
