  A few words in tenderness to the well-meaning professors, suiting the present season [by] Thomas Zachary.

summary:
  UPon the serious Consideration of the various and long continued Contests and Oppositions of all Sorts of People against us , the contemptible People of the Lord , called Quakers ; it hath seemed most strange and grievous , that any of the Professors of Christianity , who have had any Simplicity of Heart to God , and known any inward Work of the Spirit of Truth , should joyn with the Gentiles , who know not God , to make void that Blessed Work , which the God of Heaven by his pure eternal Spirit hath begun to work in our Dayes in these despised People , who have given up their Souls to serve him , and for whom their very Lives would not be dear unto them to give up for his Name sake . But God will exalt his Name , and in vain do Men strive against him ; for their very Strivings shall turn to the Advantage of his Name and People , and the Shame of his Adversaries .

  XII arguments drawn out of the Scripture wherein the commonly-received opinion touching the deity of the Holy Spirit is clearly and fully refuted : to which is prefixed a letter tending to the same purpose, written to a member of the Parliament ... / by John Biddle.

summary:
  in this manner ; {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} , Spiritu principali fulci me , Stablish me with thy principal Spirit ) there is , I say , one principal spirit amongst the good Angels , called by the name of the a Advoate , or b the holy Spirit , or c the good Spirit of God , or d the Spirit of God , or e the Spirit , by way of eminence . the Temple of the Lord ; God , and Christ , and Spirit ; when 't is evident , they have no more then what Education affords , nay lesse , because not moralized ; wherein Heathens out-stript them : they know not God , did they , they could not lightly Blaspheme him ; they go Christless , and have not received the Spirit of wisdome in the Revelation and knowledge of him ; and this makes them to cry out that whatsoever is not according to their fleshly Forms , is Errour , Heresie , Blasphemy , because it will not hold according to carnal principals , unto which they must needs reduce all things , who have no principal of life within them ; such are those who are called Christians , and yet reel to and fro through wine and strong drink , and swell by reason of Oathes , living in abominations ; of which sort of men , most of our Parish-Churches are constituted : such men have not discerning spirits , neither are they competent judges , because enemies to Truth , as well as Errour ; wherefore the Author betakes himself to the Christian Reader , i. e. one that is so indeed .

  Christ's spirit a Christians strength, or, A plain discovery of the mighty and invincible power that all believers receive through the gift of the Spirit : first held forth in two sermons on Act. 1. 8, and after published for the instruction and use of those that are spiritual, anno 1645 / by William Dell ...

summary:
  How little is there ( among all our plenty ) of that preaching , which is not in the plausible words of mans wisdom , but in the demonstration of the Spirit and Power ? How few Congregations ( among the many that are in the Kingdom ) are gathered together in the Spirit and Power of our Lord Iesus Christ ? How few of those Christians are there , in whom is the exceeding greatness of Gods power , together with the effectual working of it ? 1. What he promises them , and that is Power ; you shall receive power .

  A fountain sealed: or, The duty of the sealed to the Spirit, and the worke of the Spirit in sealing Wherein many things are handled about the Holy Spirit, and grieving of it: as also of assurance and sealing what it is, the priviledges and degrees of it, with the signes to discerne, and meanes to preserve it. Being the substance of divers sermons preached at Grayes Inne. By that reverend divine, Richard Sibbes, D.D. and sometimes preacher to that honourable society.

summary:
  If we feele it not ( as oft we do not ) then rise upward from want of this joy of spirit to water , and see what worke we finde of the spirit in clensing our soules , and if wee finde these waters not to runne so clearely as to discerne our condition in them ; then goe to the witnesse of bloud , and let us bathe our soules in it , and then we shall finde peace in free grace procured by bloud : for oft times a Christian is driven to that passe , that nothing can comfort him , within , or without him , in heaven or earth , but the free and infinite mercy of GOD , in the bloud of Christ , whereon the soule relyeth when it feeles no comfort , nor joy , of the Spirit , nor sees no worke of sanctification : then it must rest on the satisfaction wrought by the bloud of Christ , when the soule can go to God , and say , If we confesse our sinnes , thou art just to forgive them , and the bloud of Christ shall cleanse us from all sinne . We should thinke when conscience speakes in us , God speakes , and when the Spirit moves us , it is God that moves us , and that all excuse will be cut off : answere will be , did not I tell you of this by conscience , my deputy ? did not I move you to this good by mine owne Spirit ? Take heed of keeping out any light , for light , where it doth not come in and soften , hardens : none so hard hearted , as those upon whom the light hath shined : there is more to be hoped from a man , that hath onely a naturall conscience , then from him , whose heart and spirit hath beene long beaten on : there is more to be hoped from a heathen Pilate , than a proud Pharisee .

  The mystery of Christ in us, with the mystery of the Father, Word, and holy Ghost or Spirit, opened also, the parable of the rich man's flocks and herds, and the poor man's ewe-lamb, explicated. Likewise, the way that Christ takes to undo a man, and take away his life. Together with a discovery of the neerness of Christs coming, and of those glorious things which are to be fulfilled in these later days. Set forth and published by Ed. Hide jun.

summary:
  His righteousness consisteth in this , in that he can remit sin , and yet be faithful ; in that he can justifie the ungodly , and yet be just : or the righteousness of Faith is the righteousness of Christ ; for Faith is called Christ , as I said before ; He is made of God unto us , Wisdom , Sanctification , Justification , Redemption , Righteousness , and the like . But why is Christ called the Word of God in Scripture ? Because , as the word of a man is that whereby a man expresseth himself , his minde :
