A82555	The Quakers confuted, being an answer unto nineteen queries; propounded by them, and sent to the elders of the church of Duckenfield in Cheshire; wherein is held forth much of the doctrine and practise concerning revelations, and immediate voices, and against the holy Scriptures, Christs ministry, churches and ordinances &c. Together with an answer to a letter which was written and sent by one of them to a family of note and quality in the said county, which pleaded for perfection in this life, and for quaking. By Samuel Eaton, teacher of the Church of Christ heretofore meeting at Duckenfield, now in Stockport in Cheshire.

therefore_o there_o must_v of_o necessity_n be_v use_v make_v of_o scripture-psalm_n and_o as_o for_o sing_v they_o in_o meeter_n the_o hebrew_n have_v their_o poetry_n according_a to_o which_o they_o both_o compile_v and_o sing_v their_o psalm_n and_o it_o be_v but_o suitable_a that_o every_o nation_n shall_v have_v the_o liberty_n of_o their_o own_o proper_a and_o peculiar_a poetry_n among_o themselves_o to_o praise_n god_n by_o and_o meet_a be_v that_o which_o be_v congruons_a to_o our_o english_a poetry_n concern_v put_n on_o of_o hat_n in_o read_v psalm_n and_o put_v they_o off_o in_o sing_v they_o i_o shall_v not_o much_o contest_v but_o this_o i_o say_v that_o reverence_n be_v that_o which_o be_v suitable_a to_o all_o god_n ordinance_n and_o because_o the_o put_n off_o the_o hat_n do_v show_v reverence_n it_o will_v be_v very_o comely_a when_o scripture_n be_v read_v but_o if_o it_o be_v otherwise_o i_o judge_v it_o not_o to_o be_v want_n of_o reverence_n in_o such_o a_o person_n because_o reverence_n may_v be_v show_v and_o not_o tie_v to_o one_o posture_n therefore_o i_o leave_v person_n to_o their_o liberty_n yet_o there_o be_v a_o difference_n in_o ordinance_n in_o some_o we_o have_v a_o immediate_a address_n to_o god_n and_o in_o such_o we_o use_v more_o reverence_n as_o when_o we_o pray_v or_o give_v thanks_o we_o do_v not_o send_v one_o to_o god_n with_o our_o request_n but_o we_o go_v ourselves_o to_o he_o immediate_o but_o in_o preach_v and_o read_v it_o be_v otherwise_o we_o have_v not_o immediate_a communion_n with_o god_n but_o god_n send_v by_o who_o he_o will_v send_v his_o message_n to_o we_o and_o speak_v not_o immediate_o but_o by_o another_o and_o so_o there_o be_v no_o irreverence_n though_o the_o like_a degree_n of_o reverence_n be_v not_o give_v and_o hence_o it_o come_v that_o we_o may_v use_v a_o different_a posture_n and_o gesture_n though_o the_o same_o word_n be_v speak_v if_o they_o be_v speak_v in_o a_o ordinance_n of_o a_o divers_a nature_n as_o if_o word_n of_o prayer_n he_o read_v as_o a_o part_n of_o scripture_n than_o they_o be_v god_n speak_v to_o we_o by_o another_o but_o if_o we_o ourselves_o make_v use_v of_o such_o word_n and_o put_v they_o into_o our_o own_o prayer_n than_o they_o become_v our_o speak_n to_o god_n in_o our_o immediate_a address_n unto_o he_o and_o so_o the_o hat_n may_v be_v put_v on_o in_o the_o former_a and_o yet_o aught_o to_o be_v put_v off_o in_o the_o latter_a the_o like_a may_v be_v say_v of_o sing_v and_o read_v david_n psalm_n they_o be_v different_a ordinance_n and_o may_v require_v different_a posture_n there_o be_v also_o difference_n betwixt_o speak_v and_o hear_v he_o that_o be_v the_o speaker_n though_o it_o be_v but_o in_o a_o civil_a assembly_n show_v more_o reverence_n speak_v to_o many_o than_o they_o that_o hear_v he_o do_v to_o he_o and_o be_v usual_o uncover_v when_o they_o that_o be_v speak_v to_o be_v cover_v and_o in_o religious_a assembly_n it_o be_v so_o also_o he_o that_o speak_v though_o it_o be_v in_o the_o name_n of_o god_n be_v uncover_v when_o yet_o the_o people_n that_o be_v speak_v to_o be_v usual_o cover_v but_o in_o sing_v of_o psalm_n they_o be_v all_o speaker_n and_o have_v to_o do_v with_o god_n show_v their_o holy_a joy_n in_o he_o and_o in_o his_o word_n and_o therefore_o be_v all_o uncovered_a but_o the_o custom_n of_o the_o church_n of_o god_n in_o these_o thing_n if_o there_o be_v not_o palpable_a superstition_n in_o they_o be_v much_o to_o be_v respect_v and_o not_o rash_o depart_v from_o
