WRIT IN ANSVVER To a BOOK which a Nameless Author hath written against the People called QUAKERS WHEREIN

Is contained divers Untruths and hard Speeches, tending to beget jealousies and evil thoughts of them, (who are known to be Harmless and Innocent) in the Authors Tennants and Neighbours, to whom he hath sent this Book, which is here detected, and the Innocency of Gods servants cleared: Also the Truth of those things which they believe and practice in these particulars aforesaid is declared.

By John Whitehead, who hath no pleasure in stirring up strife and con∣tention about things of his nature; And therefore hath laboured rather to manifest the Truth, to the unbiassed Reader, than particularly to tra∣duce his Adversary, desiring that he and those to whom he directed his Book, may have a sight of this, if peradventure it may be in instrumental to remove from them all prejudice, that they may receive the naked Truth, as it is in Jesus.
