Title
The conviction of James Naylor, and his black spirit, demonstrated from his own confessions, lyes, evasions, and contradictions in the maine points of doctrine by him held forth against the truth. : In answer to a book of his called Wickednesse weighed. The which was writt is answer to a little treatise called The Quakers quaking principles examined and refuted, written by Ellis Bradshavv. This treatise is therefore directed by way of appeale to all the truly judicious, to be weighed in the ballance of the sanctuary, and to see in which end of the scales the wickednes lyeth, his end or mine. And also some rules held forth whereby to try the spirits, whether they be of God yea or no, in case of visions or apparitions, yea dreames, or voyces, whether speaking within or without. As also some scripture rules for discerning the motions and lustings of the spirit and flesh, each from the other, that so wee might not be led blind-fold to destruction by any deluding spririts within us or without. / Written by Ellis Bradshavve..
