A86648	The common salvation contended for, and the faith which was once delivered to the saints· Or, An answer to a book called a plain answer to eighteen queries of Iohn Whitehead, put forth by William Kays, who calls himself minister of the Gospel at Stokesly; wherein he hath perverted the faith once delivered to the saints, and pleads for those things which the Scripture declares against, and so he is made manifest, not to be a minister of the everlasting Gospel, but preachesanother [sic] Gospel. The queries laid down, and the substance of his answer, with a reply to his answer. / By one who is a friend to all, who wait for the appearance of Iesus Christ without sin to salvation, known to the world by the name.

sin_v be_v of_o the_o devil_n not_o that_o the_o devil_n can_v claim_v he_o for_o he_o or_o that_o he_o be_v in_o the_o possession_n of_o the_o devil_n for_o your_o gift_n be_v of_o balaam_n nature_n
