A89836	A discovery of the man of sin, acting in a mystery of iniquitie, pleading for his kingdom, against the coming of Christ to take away sin. Or, an answer to a book set forth by Tho. Weld of Gateshead, Richard Prideaux, Sam. Hamond, Will. Cole, and Will. Durant of Newcastle. By way of reply to an answer of James Nayler's to their former book, called The perfect Pharisee: who call themselves ministers of Christ, but are found ministring for the kingdom of Antichrist. Published for clearing the innocency of the truth from their malicious slanders, and discovering their deceits. By one whom the world calls James Nayler.	Naylor, James, 1617?-1660.	1654 (1654)	Wing N274; Thomason E738_16; ESTC R202155	50,411	56

in_o his_o own_o power_n to_o stand_v perfect_a and_o you_o be_v offend_v that_o i_o shall_v say_v that_o the_o book_n shall_v witness_v against_o your_o false_a slander_n and_o that_o the_o word_n

while_o you_o laugh_v at_o my_o ignorance_n as_o you_o say_v you_o discover_v your_o own_o wickedness_n and_o folly_n now_o to_o your_o nine_o position_n that_o no_o man_n that_o commit_v sin_n or_o
