A30031	New Rome arraigned And out of her own mouth condemned. Containing a farther discovery of the dangerous errors, and pernicious principles of the leaders and teachers of the Foxonian Quakers: which tend to overthrow the Christian faith, to obstruct the Jews conversion, to encourage Mahumetism, and to pervert the right way of the Lord; which whether so or no, deserves the examination and consideration of the Christian ministry of all Protestant Churches, as they tender God's glory, and the good of souls. To which is added, Ten articles of the Christian faith, wrote by Geo. Keith, who was persecuted by the Quakers in Pensilvania for his Christian testimony. The second edition, with some alteration and additions, by Francis Bugg. Licensed, June 18th. 1694.

Deceivers carrying two Faces in one hood looking two ways JANUS like these are Ambodexters and of the World 12. The Quakers who teach that preaching out of the Scriptures is Conjuration are of the World and Blasphemers 13. The Quakers who teach that they have a Spirit beyond all the Fore-fathers and thereby know not only who are Saints who are Devils and who are Apostates but also that none need to give them discerning or judgment in any Case or on any Occasion but that at ALL TIMES they are furnished both with Discerning and Judgment are of the World Deceivers Deluders and Impostors c. 14. The Quakers who teach that their own Books Epistles or Writings are THE WORD OF GOD are of the World and Deceivers 15. The Quakers who require and charge their own People and that in the Name of the LORD to read their own Writings Epistles or Books in their Meetings for Worship and never so much as request their hearers to read any Portion of Scriptures in the said Meetings are Deceivers Supplanters and Deluders These Doctrines I charge upon the Quakers as deduceable from their printed Books and Epistles and from which Errours they can never purge themselves but by unfeigned Repentance and a publick Retraction and Condemnation of the same And 't is to be feared their Pride is so great and that they are so fixed upon their Principle of Infallibility and Perfection that they cannot but will rather strive to cover and gloss over things However I presume I have given a fair Description of the Worlds Teachers and now let me tell you who are the true Ministers 16. Those are true Ministers of Jesus Christ who preach Repentance and Remission of sins in the Name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth and Obedience to the Commands of GOD according to the Rules of the Gospel recorded for our Learning in Holy Writ But E. B. says p. 233. I do believe there was never such a Generation of Teachers as these i. e. Priests are that ever took such wicked courses to their shame says E. B. do I rehearse it Answ This is very uncharitable as well as false in Fact and it looks the worse in that 't is rehearsed by such a Generation of Teachers as are amongst the Quakers who exceed all that ever went before them professing Christianity the Papists ONLY excepted both in Idolatry Blasphemy and Superstition yea and other gross Enormities of which I could give a large List a few for Example sake I shall mention as in the Cage where I have laid Superstition and Immorality together heaps upon heaps plain enough for your view if not I can yet lay these and many more plainer though I delight not in it were it not to humble you and to let you see notwithstanding your proud boasting of Perfection and that you and you ONLY are GOD's People and all besides you of the World Heathens c. that there is cause enough for you to make Confession of your Sins and ask Pardon too I very well know how Retrograde you run and how cross and thwart not only to the practice of the Saints in all Ages but even in this Age with respect to the Christian Doctrine and how you have in little minute matters affected an odd kind of singularity whereby you have separated your selves in Religious Matters as well as in Habit Manners c. As first for any kindness you will not say I thank you but which is tantamount I accept of thy love You will not put the Hat off but nod bow or conjue c. crying out against fine Clothes dainty Dishes lofty Horses Coaches c. until you could get them yea the Woe said you was to such as so did But now who exceed you in fine Clothes except a little Lace or Ribbons which for crosness sake you forbear dainty Dishes lofty Horses goodly Houses brave Coaches fine Perriwigs and what not nay even both Ministers and People witness London Bristol Stoak Erith Northampton and many other places You pretend you cannot for Conscience sake pay to the Trained Solers and yet can pay ten times the value towards the carrying on a vigorous War against France But for the LORDS PRAYER the APOSTLES CREED or TEN COMMANDMENTS not one of them in all your Books no they are too low and mean for your proud Lucefering Minds to teach Nay further as a Fruit of your Doctrine that the Name JESUS and CHRIST do as properly belong to your Believers as to HIM that suffered at Jerusalem you do give the Name of Emmauel and Allalujah to your Children As to Emmanuel it was by the Prophet foretold to belong to CHRIST Isai 7. 14. Behold a Virgin shall conceive and bear a Son and shall call his Name EMMANUEL which being interpreted is GOD with us saith St. Matthew Cap. 1. vers 23. And thus do you manifest your Doctrine by your Fruit as likewise Allalujah an Attribute of Praise due only to GOD as Rev. 19. four or five times mentioned as well as in divers other places yet these Names your chief Leaders have given totheir Children But GOD hath and will stain your Pride more and more and make you at length see cause sufficient to confess your sins to GOD and ask Pardon for the same and that for Jesus Christ his sake who died for our sins and rose again for cur justification as the Evangelist says 1 Joh. 1. 9. If we confess our sins he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness who was the Propitiatory Sacrifice for our sins and not for ours only but for the sins of the whole World who now sits at the right hand of God as an Advocate and Intercessour in the same Body in which he ascended in the sight of the Galileans read 1 John 2. 1 2. Acts 1. 9 10 11. Luke 24. 51. Mark 16. 19. at the right hand of GOD in Majesty on high Babylon is fallen is fallen and is become the habitation of Devils and the hold of every foul Spirit and a Cage of every unclean and hateful Bird. For her SINS have reached unto Heaven and GOD hath remembred her Iniquities Reward her even as she hath rewarded you and double unto her double according to her works in the Cup which she hath filled fill to her double Rejoyce over her thou Heaven and ye holy Apostles and Prophets for GOD hath avenged you on her Rev. 18. 2 5 6 20. 1. HERE lye the Men behold and view them well You know their Names and where they use to dwell You know their Parts you know their Fruits also If these be Saints LORD whether shall we go 2. If not why should you not Confession make And Pardon beg for Jesus Christ his sake Are you too proud or do you still disdain Or do you say such things with us are vain 3. Behold I say and mark the Prophets well They did Confess the Scripture doth us tell Their Sins

Observation So then I read out of G. Fox his Book what followeth the Astonishing Confutation abovesaid News coming up out of the North c. p. 14. So Dust is the Serpents meat their Original is but Dust which is but the Letter which is Death their Church is Dust and their Gospel is Dust Matthew Mark Luke and John which is the Letter S. Cater I deny that we call the Scriptures Dust or Serpents-meat F. B. But S. Cater wilt thou deny it if you see it in one of your Friends Books S. Cater Yea wherever I see it I will deny it F. B. Richard Tilson go and fetch my Box which he did I read it as in the recited Charge and Sam. Cater took the Book and read it S. Cater Thou saidst we call'd the Scriptures Dust and Death but there is not the word Scripture in the whole Passage F. B. People I appeal to you whether Matthew Mark Luke and John be not Scripture With that perceiving S. Cater's Evasion the People gave a great shout and said Yes Yes S. Cater Matthew Muck F. B. Hold Sam. what Matthew muck what Muck is that what shall we have a new Gospel John Cade a Norwich Preacher said Friends take notice that as the Bible grows old it will moulder and crumble away and become Dust F. B. People observe They would not have you think that new Bibles are Dust but when they grow old they moulder away c. and therefore my Advice to you is to get new Bibles W. Read Francis we deny thy words we have given it in to the King and Parliament that we believe the Scriptures was given forth by Divine Inspiration and they have accepted of it F. Bugg The more shame for you to be so deceitful to give in a Testimony so contrary to your Belief For if so why do you not Retract and Condemn your Books which are as opposite to what you now say as Light is to Darkness And some few Passages more we had But if they believe as they write that the Gospel Matthew Mark Luke and John be Dust I wonder with what face they could appear before the Parliament until they had first retracted and by some publick Act have condemned their Books which throw such Contempt upon the Holy Scripture For a further proof of this Charge see the sixteen Instances Object But possibly some may object and say It 's true you have more then sufficiently proved your first Charge and in the proof thereof there is enough said of their speaking contemptuously of the Holy Scriptures by calling them Dust Death Serpents-meat Carnal Letter killing Letter Dangerous to read c. yea and their contemptuous Speeches of the Sacraments Church Ministery c. yet the second Branch of your second Charge seems unproved where you bring it as an Argument against them of their not owning the Scriptures and that they over-value their own Writings Now if you have any thing material to offer pray do Answ I am very willing as I always was to leave things as clear as I can and place my Argument upon Matter of Fact out of their own printed Books And having already signified that ERROURS and CONSEQUENCES are out of their Books and their rejecting the Scriptures and reading the Scriptures in their Religious Meetings if I may so call them being a Consequent of the second Errour I shall so call them viz. both the Titles of their Epistles and the Conclusion enough to signalize their way and manner and THE DANGEROUS CONSEQUENCES OF THE Quakers ERROURS First THIS IS ONLY TO GO AMONGST FRIENDS c. Directed To the Camp of the Lord in England meaning the Quakers Subscribed Edw. Burrough and Fra. Howgill Second To the Flock of Christ every where to be read in their Assemblies by G.

Fourth A Salutation of Love from the Spirit of Life unto all Friends of Truth c. Let this be read amongst Friends who are Exiled or sentenced for Exilement when they are met together in the fear of the Lord. Josiah Coale Printed 1665. Fifth An Epistle to Friends in Holland Let this be sent amongst the Friends in Holland Jos Coal Printed 1667. Sixth To the Flock of GOD gathered out of the World in the Province of Mariland Let the Copies of this Epistle be sent amongst Friends every where in the Province of Mariland to be read amongst them in all their Assemblies in the fear of the Lord. Jos Coal Seventh Several Papers given forth for the spreading of Truth c. I charge you in the presence of the Lord God to send this amongst all Friends and Brethren EVERY WHERE to be read in all Meetings To you all this is THE WORD OF GOD G. Fox REMARK Thus Reader I have given a few Instances of their way and manner of sending their Epistles to be read in their Meetings both in England Holland and Mariland and were it needful I could give you a hundred more which shews that they give their own Writings the preferrence as well as that they lay aside the use of the Scriptures in their Meetings and no marvel if the Scriptures be Death Dust Carnal Serpents meat and if it be Conjuration to preach out of them and if the Ministers of the Scriptures be Ministers of Death and if it be dangerous to read them as were they as by the Quakers esteemed Dust Death Serpents-meat it were surely dangerous to read them for who would feed upon Dust and Death and Serpents-meat this could no way nourish nor strengthen but corrupt poison and putrifie the Minds of such as are most exercised in reading them and that so it is in their Judgment For if it were wholesome to read them and that they believed them to be given forth by Divine Inspiration as they to the Parliament have pretended to serve a Turn why do they not read the Scriptures or sometimes a Chapter or sometimes one of the Apostles Epistles in their Meetings as that they do not nor never did nay I challenge all the Quakers in England whether ever their Ministers recommended so much as one Chapter to be read in any of their Meetings for Worship these forty years much less charged them in the presence of the LORD GOD to read such a Chapter or such an Epistle as wrote either by the Prophets or Apostles And if they cannot let it be a Sign for ever that they deny the Scriptures first by contempt thrown on them and next by their practice of laying them aside and reading their own Epistles and let it rest upon Record as a witness against their deep Hypocrisies and let it be a Testimony against the false Pretences and Perjury of the twelve false Witnesses Nay and not only in their own Meetings but let me give you one

them besides several Gentlemen and others Inhabitants of Wymondham to renew my Challengs to R. Ashby one of your Teachers which was to prove That the Quakers deny Jesus of Nazareth the Scriptures Christ's Ordinances undervalue his Sufferings exalt your own c. as at large in Quakerism Anatomized p. 2. Which may fully Answer your captious Demands in your Essay p. 7. Viz. June 4 th 1694. Whereas R. Ashby lately wrote to the Inhabitants of Wymondham to beware of Fr. Bugg's Book Quakerism Withering and Christianity Reviving c. As containing Lies and false Representations c. Upon which some of us desired Francis Bugg to appear in his own Vindication which he readily consented to and renewed his Charge against the Doctrine and Principles of the Quakers as in the recited Book Quakerism Withering c. And gave the said R. Ashby a Challenge to meet him and a Months time to prepare himself But the Day being come and the said R. Ashby not appearing as it 's said on his behalf by Reason of Business at London Nevertheless to prevent all Excuses on the part of the said R. Ashby we have again requested Francis Bugg to renew his Challenge and to give him longer time to prepare himself assuring him That as we shall stand by Fr. Bugg in what he maintains according to Scripture so shall we be against him where he asserts the contrary or mis-cite and falsly charge the Quakers Tho. Wright William Haws Rich. Clark Robert Purt Roger Gay William Le Neve Lewis Hinton Jacob Henery John Henery Peter Atdam Richard Smith And many others And accordingly I renewed my Challenge pursuant to my former Proposition offering to meet him at Wymondham the 18 th of July 1694. And sent him per Post c. And let none think it strange that the Quakers and their Principles are thus Anatomised and set forth to Posterity For those Histories that have derived to us the Knowledge of those Errors and Heresies which sprang up amongst the Ancient Christians as Tares amongst the Wheat have not been accounted superfluous nor their Respect worn out in several Ages How much the more concerned should all true Christians be to have the knowledge of those born in our own Age brought forth in our own Bowels According to Christ's Prophecy Mat. 24. 24.

Miracles wrought by the Power of God i. e. She that was ready to dye raised up again The Lame made whole The Diseased restored John Jay's Neck brake restored c. And many other pretended Miracles yet not one of them said to be done in the Name of Jesus of Nazareth as in Acts 3. 6. In the Name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth rise up and walk Which is a strong Argument of their disowning Jesus of Nazareth and of their confirming their New Religion in Opposition to that of Christs But I have not room to shew the Tendency of those Blasphemous Pretences of that Impostor G.

The Second Edition Besides a Printed Letter to the Quakers and a Sheet to the Parliament An APOLOGITICAL INTRODUCTION Courteous Reader THERE is scarce any Sect of People how erronious soever they be but they have some Advocates and such too as oftentimes may give just occasion for an Apology for writing against their Errors and more especially when they make such fair Pretences to the Christian Religion as the Quakers of late have done in divers of their Books particularly that entituled The Harmony of the Old and New Testament wherein the Author prefixeth a twofold Preface the one to the Christians the other to the Jews premising two things 1st To wipe off such Aspersions as have been cast upon them as denying Jesus of Nazareth and the Divine Authority of the Scriptures Now how far their Book will answer this End unless they make an Ingenuous Retractation of their Errors this Treatise may shew 2dly I have not says this Author transcribed the whole of all those Verses which sometimes is cited but only so much as I conceive doth more immediately relate to c. Very well If then he contract the Scripture and take what he conceives necessary to the Point in hand I hope I shall have the same Liberty and not liable to Censure for the same thing a Fault the Quakers are too much guilty of And because I would be as concise as may be I shall recite their Books which are generally of two sorts of two Stamps and carry two contrary Faces contrary Doctrines contrary Principles c. in two Columns that as in a Glass their Hearers if they will but read may behold the depth of Hypocrisie which lye couch'd in their Leaders Doctrines not only liable to deceive them but the whole World who take them to mean as they say which makes me believe them to be the very Deceivers Christ foretold of Matt. 24 24. for though they come forth pretending to convert the Jews by

CHRIST but A Vail A Garment A Vessel c. How should they say this Creed if they do not believe that he is risen yea and that the SAME JESUS is ascended and now sits at the right hand of GOD in the SAME BODY in which he ascended according to Acts 2. how should they say this Creed if they do not believe the Resurrection of the Body out of the Grave at the day of Judgment How should they say or teach others to say this Creed And therefore I exhort you to read the Scriptures and though your Teachers have told you that F. Bugg is a Beast a Dog a Wolf an Enemy of all Righteousness a Child of the Devil yea a Devil Incarnate c. What then did not the unbelieving Jews call Christ a Devil and have they not called the Publick Ministry yea all without restriction or limitation Thieves Robbers Witches and Devils c. what then never regard that but as I said read the Scriptures and take my advice no farther than the Scripture warrants it and so far my Soul for yours you are safe but if your Teachers have begotten such an ill opinion of me as that you will not take my advice as they have against the Publick Ministry that you will not hear them yet I am perswaded what I have wrote will be of service to your Children yea and your Childrens Children and if so why should I not proceed to discover your Errours that so the blind may not always lead the blind but that you may become wiser than your Teachers and see for your selves I am now speaking to you the hearers among the Quakers who have a zeal I bear you record though not according to knowledge and your Leaders have been instrumentally the cause of your Errours and Blindness O consider of what I say and be considerate and cool I am not angry as ye suppose If I be sharp 't is my zeal for the Truths of the Gospel which your Teachers have defaced And therefore bear with me I pity you I lament for you whether you believe it or not They tell you that none was ever converted to GOD by outward and external hearing though the Scripture says that Faith comes by hearing O consider and peruse what followeth and the Lord give you an understanding heart The Prophesies of the Holy Prophets fulfilled and accomplished in and by our blessed LORD and Saviour Jesus Christ Hear the words of our Saviour Search the Scriptures they are they which testifie of me Joh. 5. 39. These are the words which I spake unto you whilst I was yet with you that all things must be fulfilled which was written in the Law of Moses and in the Prophets and in the Psalms concerning ME. Luke 24. 44. The Scriptures cannot be broken Joh. 10 35. It is easier for Heaven and Earth to pass than for one Tittle of the Law to fail till all be fulfilled PROPHESIES FULFILLED Isa 7. 14. THerefore the Lord himself shall give you a Sign behold a Virgin shall conceive and bear a Son and they shall call his Name Immanuel Matth. 1. 23. BEhold a Virgin shall be with Child and shall bring forth a Son and they shall call his Name Immanuel which being interpreted is GOD with us Isa 8. 14. And he shall be for a Sanctuary but for a stone of stumbling and for a rock of offence to both houses of Israel for a gin and for a snare c. V. 15.

And whosoever shall fall on this stone shall be broken but on whomsoever it shall fall it will grind him to powder Micah 5. 2. But thou Bethlehem Ephratah though thou be little among the thousands of Judah yet out of thee shall come forth unto me THAT is to be Ruler in Israel whose goings forth have been of old from everlasing Matth. 2. 16.

But Jesus held his peace And the High Priest answered and said unto him I adjure thee by the living God that thou tell us whether thou be the Christ the Son of GOD. Matth. 27. 14. Jer. 16. 16. Behold I will send for many fishers saith the LORD and they shall fish them c. Matth. 4. 19. And he said unto them follow me and I will make you fishers of Men. Isa 61. 1. The Spirit of the LORD GOD is upon me because the LORD hath anointed ME to preach good Tidings to the Meek he hath sent ME to bind up the broken heart to proclaim liberty to the Captives and the opening the Prison to them that are bound Matth. 11. 5. The blind receive their sight the lame walk the Lepers are cleansed and the deaf hear the dead are raised up and the poor have the Gospel preached to them Isa 53. 12. Therefore will I divide him a portion with the great and he shall divide the spoil with the strong because he hath poured out his soul unto death and he was numbred with the Transgressors and he shall bear the sins of many and make Intercession for the Transgressors Matth. 27. 38. Then were there two Thieves crucified with him one on the right hand and another on the left See also John 19. 18. read also Acts 10. 35. Therefore let all the House of Israel know assuredly that GOD hath made that same Jesus whom ye have crucified both LORD and Christ Acts 5. 30 31.

To HIM gave all the Prophets witness that through His NAME whosoever believeth in HIM shall receive remission of sins All things that are written of ME have an end saith Christ. It is sure and a convertable Rule nothing was done by Christ but it was foretold And nothing was ever foretold of Christ by the Prophets which was not done and which was not fulfilled It would take up some years to compare the Prophets and Evangelists the Prediction and the History and to Discourse at large how the one Foretells and the other Answers HE CHRIST must be Apprehended it was fore-prophesied The Anointed of the LORD was taken in their Nets saith Jeremiah But how HE must be sold For what Thirty Pieces of Silver And what must those do Buy a Field all foretold They took thirty pieces of silver the price of Him that was valued and gave them for the Potters field saith Zachery By whom That Child of Perdition that the Scripture might be fulfilled Which was he it is foretold He that eateth Bread with me saith the Psalmist But what shall his Disciples do Flee from Him so saith the Prophesie I will smite the Shepherd and the Sheep shall be scattered saith Zachary And so on O consider of these things and lay them to heart you that say you cannot call HIM that was born that suffered Death on the Cross CHRIST but call HIM a Vail a Figure a Garment a Vessel What did the Prophets foretel that a Virgin should conceive and bring forth a Vail a Garment or a Figure O ye Blasphemers Is this your Scripture Language you so often call for in opposition to the word Trinity and Sacraments as if indeed you had been zealous for the Scriptures Ye Hypocrites what can you not call Him Christ only a Figure HE who was the Substance of all Figures and Shadows in whom they end and were but Types of HIS coming Christ is the end of the Law what Law the Ceremonial Law it was referred to HIM observed of HIM fulfilled in HIM abolish't by HIM 'T is plain that those Jewish Ceremonies look't at CHRIST Circumcision Passover the Tabernacle both outer and inner the Temple the Laver both the Altars the Table of Shew-bread the Candlesticks the Vail the Holy of Holies the Ark the Pot of Manna Aaron's Rod the High Priest his Order and Line his Habits his Inaugurations his Washings Anointing the Sacrifice c.
