A47166	Quakerism no popery, or, A particular answere to that part of Iohn Menzeis, professor of divinity in Aberdeen, (as he is called) his book, intituled Roma mendax Wherein the people called Quakers are concerned, whom he doth accuse as holding many popish doctrins, and as if Quakerism, (so he nick-names our religion,) were but popery-disguised. In which treatise his alleadged grounds for this his assertion, are impartialy and fairly examined and confuted: and also his accusation of popery against us, justly retorted upon himself, and his bretheren.

to_o wit_n a_o complete_a external_a rule_n as_o when_o i_o say_v a_o complete_a chart_n or_o map_n of_o scotland_n or_o england_n i_o mean_v that_o it_o be_v as_o full_a as_o a_o map_n need_v to_o

in_o no_o true_a respect_n can_v be_v say_v to_o return_v to_o popery_n but_o upon_o the_o contrary_a the_o principle_n doctrine_n and_o practice_n of_o the_o quaker_n be_v a_o further_a step_n of_o
