A47751	Primitive heresie revived in the faith and practice of the people called Quakers wherein is shewn in seven particulars that the principal and most characteristick errors of the Quakers were broached and condemned in the days of the Apostles and the first 150 years after Christ : to which is added a friendly expostulation with William Penn upon account of his Primitive Christianity lately published / by the author of The snake in the grass.

then_o do_v he_o answer_v the_o objection_n which_o he_o put_v against_o himself_o of_o the_o many_o false_a religion_n in_o the_o world_n it_o be_v not_o the_o true_a light_n which_o guide_v man_n
