A23666	The grand errour of the Quakers detected and confuted Shewing how they contradict God's method of directing men to salvation by following that light within which comes by outward teaching, by their directing them to seek it by following that light within which is wrought without external teaching by the scriptures or by men. Wherein those beings are considered likewise, which have betrayed them into delusion. By W.A.	Allen, William, d. 1686.	1680 (1680)	Wing A1065A; ESTC R215685	63,983	140

have_v make_v know_v to_o we_o the_o mystery_n of_o his_o will_n according_a to_o his_o good_a pleasure_n which_o he_o have_v purpose_v in_o himself_o so_o the_o call_n of_o the_o gentile_n be_v

in_o all_o this_o i_o do_v not_o deny_v but_o that_o there_o be_v in_o the_o gospel_n thing_n very_o mysterious_a and_o hard_a to_o be_v conceive_v as_o touch_v the_o manner_n of_o their_o existence_n
