A47167	A refutation of three opposers of truth by plain evidence of the holy Scripture, viz. I. Of Pardon Tillinghast, who pleadeth for water-baptism, its being a Gospel-precept, and opposeth Christ within, as a false Christ. To which is added, something concerning the Supper, &c. II. Of B. Keech, in his book called, A tutor for children, where he disputeth against the sufficiency of the light within, in order of salvation; and calleth Christ in the heart, a false Christ in the secret chamber. II. Of Cotton Mather, who in his appendix to his book, called, Memorable providences, relating to witchcrafts, &c. doth so weakly defend his father Increase Mather from being justly chargeable with abusing the honest people called Quakers, that he doth the more lay open his fathers nakedness; and beside the abuses and injuries that his father had cast upon that people, C. Mather, the son, addeth new abuses of his own. And a few words of a letter to John Cotton, called a minister, at Plymouth in New England. By George Keith.	Keith, George, 1639?-1716.	1690 (1690)	Wing K199; ESTC W21703	49,228	77

a_o instance_n will_v represent_v the_o quaker_n meeting_n and_o book_n such_o as_o the_o devil_n have_v a_o good_a like_n to_o but_o it_o seem_v the_o holiness_n of_o his_o study_n drive_v the_o

of_o the_o reason_n that_o they_o leave_v the_o girl_n how_o soon_o she_o enter_v into_o his_o closet_n but_o why_o can_v not_o the_o devil_n carry_v the_o girl_n into_o his_o closet_n as_o well_o as_o the_o devil_n take_v christ_n into_o the_o holy_a city_n and_o set_v he_o on_o a_o pinnacle_n of_o the_o temple_n mat._n 4.5_o and_o as_o it_o be_v in_o job_n when_o the_o son_n of_o god_n come_v

to_o come_v either_o to_o c._n m_n closet_n or_o the_o quaker_n meet_v without_o any_o just_a reflection_n on_o either_o of_o the_o place_n but_o if_o c._n m._n think_v the_o devil_n more_o kind_a
