Barclay, Robert Anarchy of the ranters and other libertines London 1771
Barclay, Robert. The anarchy of the ranters and other libertines, the hierarchy of the Romanists, and other pretended churches, equally refused, and refuted, in a two-fold apology for the church and people of God, called in derision Quakers. Wherein they are vindicated from those that accuse them of disorder and confusion on the one hand, and from such as calumniate them with tyranny and imposition on the other: shewing, that as the true and pure principles of the Gospel are restored in their testimony; so is also the antient apostolick order of the church of Christ re-established among them, and settled upon its right basis and foundation. . . . To which is added, a brief examination and state of liberty spiritual, both with respect to persons in their private capacity, and in their church society, and communion. By William Penn. London: printed by Mary Hinde, 1771. viii, 113(3) pp. 8vo, recent wrappers. Third London edition; first published in 1676, and reprinted in Dublin in 1726, in London in 1733, and in Philadelphia, by Benjamin Franklin, in 1757. An important essay by a leading Quaker apologist. Slightly dog-eared, but a very good copy; old inscription of a Quaker Meeting in Poole, in Dorset. CBEL II, 1648.
