I. N. against F. Harris, p. 10. the Question is,
Whether that can be the way of God, which hath nothing to warrant it but the bare words and affirmation of men, which they call infallible?
To this I.N. answers:
Answ: That Spirit of God which is infallible is the sufficient ground; and to preach, that is the way of God, neither had this ever any other testimony, but what is of it self: For the worlds wisdom, and carnal natural man, can neither receive it, nor bear testimony of it, only such who believe it, &c. The sum is this, the Quakers have the Infallible Spirit, they believe the testimony of it: and this is all the proof.
