A testimony, of what we believe of Christ, before he was manifest in the flesh : and of His birth and preaching, and what He saith He is Himselfe : as also of His sufferings, death, resurrection, and ascension, both as He was God and as He was Man : and also the testimony of the Apostles concerning Him ... : but all such by-names, which are not found in the Scriptures we testify against ... that in scorn calls us Quakers : also how the believers in the primitive times, and now, did and do possess and enjoy Christ Jesus ... and wherein they may see what a true Christians duty is / by George Fox.
