A70157	A just defence and vindication of Gospel ministers and Gospel ordinances against the Quakers many false accusations, slanders and reproaches. In ansvver to John Horwood his letter, and E.B. his book, called, A just and lawful tryal of the ministers and teachers of this age, and several others. Proving the ministers calling and maintenance just and lawful, and the doctrine of perfection by free justification, preached by them, agreeable to the scriptures. VVith the Quakers objections answered. And the Quakers perfection by hearkning to, and obeying a light within them, proved contrary to the scriptures. And their practices in ten particulars proved contrary to the commands and examples of Christ and his apostles. By a lover of gospel ministers and gospel ordinances.

for_o say_v the_o apostle_n paul_n to_o the_o corinthian_n let_v your_o woman_n keep_v silence_n in_o the_o church_n 35._o for_o it_o be_v not_o permit_v unto_o they_o to_o speak_v but_o they_o be_v

husband_n and_o not_o in_o the_o singular_a husband_n by_o which_o you_o may_v see_v what_o most_o barbarous_a conclusion_n will_v follow_v upon_o your_o interpretation_n for_o if_o by_o the_o woman_n
