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
