And the kingdome of Antichrist is subdued to us, and destroyed in us, by the Spirits teaching. And to him that is led by the Spirits teaching do I commend these to be received, and not to the naturall mans wisdom; ...

Also, a cleer distinction between the minsters of Christ, who are of the seed of Abraham, and the priests of this generation, who are of Ishmaels root; who with the truth are plainly made manifest, by the light of Christ in us, who for the testimony of God do suffer by the sons of Hagar, and this generation of priests in Notwich [sic]: ...

Let him that reads understand and he shall see it so. And likewise an answer to other slanders and false reports upon the same people, whom reproachfully they call Quakers, but we rather chuse to suffer reproaches, slanders, and false reports with the people of God, then to deny the power of God made manifest in us. By his servant who seeks the freedoms of Israels children, after the spirit, whom the world calls. Rich. Hubberthorn
Truth exalted, and the peaceable fellowship and exercise thereof vindicated against the abusive clamours of a dividing false spirit : Given forth in answer to a printed paper subscribed, Edward Nightingale, Tho. Dennison, John Winnard, John Cox, called An account of their offers in the Quarterly Meetings at York, for the accommodating of the differences that were amongst Friends, being (say they) three distinct papers given in for peace at three several meetings. Wherein it's clearly demonstrated, that the aforesaid persons have been the authors thereof, through the opposition they have made against the Gospel care, and practices used amongst Gods people in the Church of Christ. Herein also is shewed what Christian care and endeavours have been used touching them, before they excluded themselves, and their separate meeting set up. Recommended to Gods witness in the aforesaid subscribers, and to the consideration of all sober people where this may come. Hereunto is also added, by way of answer, some observations made upon another printed paper, given forth by John Cox, called, An epistle to all the Lords people (feignedly pretended to be) sent as a salutation of love and peace
Truth further defended, and William Penn vindicated; : being a rejoynder to a book entitutled, A brief and modest reply, to Mr. Penn's tedious, scurrilous, and unchristian defence, against the bishop of Cork. Wherein that author's unfainess is detected, his arguments and objections are answered.

Truth's principles, or, Those things about doctrine and worship which are most surely believed and received amongst the people of God called Quakers : viz. concerning the man Christ, his sufferings, death, resurrection, faith in his blood, the imputation of his righteousness, sanctification, justification &c.

Written, to stop the mouth of clamour, and to inform all who desire to know the truth as it is in Jesus; by the servant of the Lord, John Crook. To which is added, somewhat concerning the difference between the perswasions of reason, and the perswasions of faith
Truth's pursuit after falshood, or, Certain untruths made manifest that was lately published in the news-book bearing date April 18. 1664 : and those false aspersions cast upon an innocent people (called Quakers) truly testified against, and the truth witnessed unto, for the better information of all people, and the satisfaction of all that are sober-minded. Also, it may serve for a word of caution and good advice to all those of what degree or quality soever they be, that hath or may have any hand in persecuting an innocent people for their conscience sake. By a lover of truth and uprightness, but a hater of lying and falshood, William Warwick
Truth's vindication or, A gentle stroke to wipe off the foul aspersions, false accusations and misrepresentations, cast upon the people of God, called, Quakers : both with respect to their principle, and their way of proselyting people over to them. Also, an epistle to such of the friends of Christ, that have lately been convinced of the truth as it is in Jesus

Weaknes above wickednes, and truth above subtilty : Which is the Quakers defence against the boaster and his deceitfull slanders. Clearly seen in an answer to a book called Quakers Quaking; devised by Jeremiah Ive's against the dispised contemptible people trampled on by the world, and scorned by the scorners. In which the deceits are turned into the deceivers bosome, and the truth cleared from the accuser. In much plainesse, that the simple may see and perceive, and come to be gathered to the Lamb, from amongst the armies of the wicked, who have now set themselves against the Lord, and sees it not. Also some queries to Jeremy Ive's touching his false doctrine and deceits.
Wickedness weighed : in an answer to a book, called, The Quakers quaking principle, examined and refuted. Set forth by Ellis Bradshaw; and dedicated, as he saith, to his Highness the Lord Protector of England, Scotland, and Ireland, with the dominions thereof; much boasted of by the author, but as little worth, as the boast is great. The man's envy carrying him with such envy against the innocent, till he speak he knows not what, concerning the Father, and the Son, the Word, the Light, and Spirit: here is also, some marks, and maintenance of the true ministers set down; and also of the false; their fruits differing them, according to Christs rule in Scripture: with divers other things, to keep the simple from deceit.
William Penn and the Quakers either impostors, or apostates : which they please: proved from their avowed principles, and contrary practices. By Trepidantium Malleus
