An Answer to several Passages Citations or Charges In a BOOK Lately publish'd by F. Bugg STYLED New Rome Arraigned c. BEING A short Vindication of the Christian Believers of Jesus of Nazareth who are in Derision termed QUAKERS From the said ASPERSIONS Blessed are the peace-makers for they shall be called the children of God Matth. v. 9. Let all bitterness and wrath and anger and clamor and evil-speaking be put away from you with all malice And be ye kind one to another tender-hearted forgiving one another even as God for Christ's sake hath forgiven you Ephes iv 31 32. London Printed in the Year 1694. An Answer to several Charges of Francis Bugg HAving for these several Years observed divers contentious Books written by F. Bugg and George Whitehead one against the other I have read their several Writings on both sides and hereby proceed to give my Sense of the Matter First I apprehend the tendency of F. Bugg's striving is for to have several Errors to be Retracted and Condemned as Erroneous which in my Judgement ought to be done by all true Christi●ns Secondly G. Whitehead's Contention is to cover and cloak many Errors and Weaknesses which he and all true Christians ought to condemn and confess All Flesh hath sinned gone astray erred and fallen short of the glory of God If any should object and say What here is written is short I answer Brevity is design'd by the Author for what is written is done in order if happily it might be so to appease the Fury of an inrag'd Adversary believing the said F. B. hath been provoked and do heartily wish both the provokers and the provoked might be deeply humbled before the Lord and beg pardon for all their Sins and Transgressions and pursue that Christian Practise that Christ exhorted unto his Disciples to follow who said By this shall all men know that you are my disciples if you love one another If this Precept was but once grafted into every Heart then Strife and Contention would soon come to an end It s also my Sense and Judgment that the many Books of Contention writ by G.W. and others hath done much hurt to the Christian Religion and would be glad if it should please God to put it into the Hearts of the Governours and Rulers of the Nation to condemn the same and order them all to be burnt So I shall proceed to answer in short several of F. B's Objections and Charges desiring that he as well as others would desist from Contention and pursue after Peace and learn to love all men seeing our Lord and Master Jesus of Nazereth his Love is universal to all and hath enlightned all by his Light and Grace and tasted Death for every Man and given himself a Ransom for all O! who would but follow such a Master as hath shed his precious Blood for the Redemption of all So desiring every true Believer in Christ Jesus and follower of him to bear his Image and be made conformable unto him in Love Mercy Goodness and Compassion herein would that great Commandment be kept and not broken which is To love God with all thy Might and Strength c. Then the second also would be To love thy Neighbour as thy self Which might it be the practice of every true Christian is the real Desire of him who desires the good and welfare of all mankind c. Seeing of old time all was not Israel that was counted Israel so may it be said in our Day and Age all are not true Christian Quakers that are called Quakers therefore F. B. ought not to lay his Objections and Charges on such general Terms for if any under the denomination of a Quaker are ignorant and unsound in Matter of Faith and Doctrine I say their Ignorance ought not to be chargable on the Body or Society of the Christian People who are in derision termed Quakers who sincerely believe in our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ both to his Humanity and his Godhead in all respects even as the holy Scriptures do testifie of him Therefore seeing F. B. grants Contention to be an Offence the Scripture condemns he ought to desist therefrom and not continue reproaching a People by whole-sale who believe all things according to the Scriptures and that they are of Divine Authority and were given forth by the Inspiration of the Almighty and are profitable and of a general Service according to the Testimony of the Apostle Paul to Timothy in his second Epistle ch 3. v. 16 17. and if at any time he hath found any particular Man or Men under the Name of a Quaker that are unsound in the aforesaid Matter of Faith or are guilty of Error of any kind relating to the Christian Religion F. B. ought to pray to God on their behalves That he would remove their Ignorance and give them a true understanding of the things that belong to their Peace and not vilifie the Society of a People or any part thereof upon the score of the Ignorance and Folly of any pretended Member And whereas F. B. continues to take in the Ashes of the dead who are gone to give an account of their Deeds whether good or evil and seeing they are not in visibility to answer for themselves it s hoped he viz. F. B. will desist from it not knowing how soon the great God of Heaven and Earth may summon him to appear before the Bar of his Justice to give an account of his Deeds Also note I would not hereby be accounted one that would cover an Error in any that are dead nor in any that are yet living neither is any Evil or Error connived at or tolerated by any true Christian Quaker who through the Providence of the Almighty are come to that result and do sincerely believe and own the same Jesus of Nazareth that was born of the Virgin Mary suffered under Pontius Pilate whose precious Side was pierced with a Spear and by wicked hands crucified on the Tree of the Cross between two Thieves whose Blood was shed for the Remission of Sins who was dead and buried rose again the third Day and ascended into Heaven in the sight of the Galileans who is there as our Mediator and Intercessor to God our Creator believing he will forgive us our sins for Christ's sake our only and alone Mediator between him and us poor mortal Creatures who are nothing without him neither can we do any thing without him that is acceptable or well-pleasing in his sight but as he shall beget a living Faith in us both to will and to do of his own good pleasure To him alone be all Honour and Praise given both now and for evermore Amen Whereas F. Bugg objects against G. Whitehead being a contentious continual Scribler and guilty of giving base and scurrilous Language as vile Apostates unruly Beasts Wolves Dogs Devils incarnate together with many more of the like import c. Answer G. Whitehead is guilty of the
