shall only glance at new matter as I pass along it 's a scurrilous Pamphlet but I shall leave them to answer to another for their hard speeches Q. p. 2. Q. Numb 88 You might as well have condemned the Scriptures to the fire Pr. Pr. When these Quakers had understood that some of their Papers had been condemned to the fire to be burnt then they told their adversaries that they might as well have condemned the Scriptures to the fire behold are not the Quakers scribbles in great esteem amongst them do not the Quakers take their writings to be given by the inspiration of God are not they the holy men of God who speak as they are moved what difference do they make betwixt the Scripture and their Pamphlets do you not see it plain that as these Quakers say the Scripture may as well be burnt as their Books may Q. p. 14. Q. Numb 89 How fain wouldst thou have a place in the earthly letter Pr. Pr. In these quaking-lines you see that Scripture is no more but the earthly letter I may truly say to pass by the meanness of this expression that till Quakerism arose an earthly letter was never read of nor did any Christians ever call the Scripture an earthly letter surely the holy Spirit of God did not breath forth those words Q. p. 15. Q. Numb 90 Neither dost thou know the letters that are given forth by us now which are given forth by the same spirit Pr. Pr. The import of these lines is this That the letters of Quakers are of the same divine authority with the Apostical Epistles that the same Holy Ghost is the author of both that the divine inspiration of both is alike for substance if this be not an abominable assertion then what is Q. p. 39. Q. Numb 91 As the Apostle said Take heed to the light of God within you Pr. See how vainly these Quakers do pretend to the same spirit that the Apostles had for they have in those words belyed the Apostle no Apostle did ever say Take heed to the light of God within you this is only a whim of the Quakers brain which hath no foundation in any Apostolical writings in Scripture we find mention made often of Christ the light and sometimes of Christ in you but no Apostle did ever say Take heed to the light of God within you this is only the Quakers false doctrine Q. p. 44. Q. Numb 92 If thou couldest see but thou art blind thou mightest see the same gift amongst us as was amongst the Apostles Pr. Pr. Behold how the Quakers do boast of themselves that they are endued with the gift of the Holy Ghost to work Miracles as the Apostles were if this be not a gross piece of spiritual pride then what is so Q. p. 57. Q. Numb 93 But him we own as one with us in the eternal unity Pr. Pr. These quaking-words are spoken with reference to George Fox in them we have this account of Quakers that they are in the eternal unity and that George Fox is owned by them to be one with them in the same eternal unity surely these lines smell strong of Parnel's partakers of Christs divine nature that God is with us manifested in the flesh all which is abominable blasphemy Q. p. 64. Q. Numb 94 The dark time and power of Babylon hath long reigned and the works of the Beast by which ye are descended that profess Scripture to be your rule Pr. Pr. Behold how these Quakers deny the Scripture to be the rule of faith how they look upon them with an evil eye that do profess the Scripture to be the rule of faith behold here is mention made by them of the dark time and power of Babylon and the works of the beast to use their own words by which they are descended according to these Quakers they are basely descended who do profess the Scripture to be the rule of faith Q. p. 69. Q. Numb 95 When thou comest to go through Moses and through the Prophets and through John to come to Christ then shalt thou see that the light is but one Pr. Pr. Behold how these deluded Quakers do write non-sense do cut out a strange new way to come to Christ he that reads these lines must baffle his reason corrupt his judgment to conclude that these Quakers were in any wise moved by the Holy Ghost which they do proudly pretend to here is too much gross ignorance to be fathered on him who is God Q. p. 75 76. Q. Numb 96 All the Ministers of the Letter are persecutors of the Spirit Pr. Pr. In these Quakers account the Ministers of the Gospel are no more but Ministers of the Letter and persecuters of the Spirit thus the Quakers do basely undermine the preaching of the Gospel to the great scandal of true Christian Religion to be termed persecutors of the Spirit is a most base disparagement Q. p. 78. Q. Numb 97 Thou wouldest know whether Jesus Christ have a body in heaven he remains in the heavens whereas thou wouldest know whether it be the same that appeared amongst men it is the same that did descend the same did ascend whereas thou wouldest know what manner of body he hath here thou art disputing as the devil was about the body of Moses with Michael the Archangel who said The Lord rebuke thee so say I now the Lord rebuke thee who art disputing about the body of Christ for the body of Christ is but one and he is the head of the body which is the Church Pr. Pr. In these quaking-lines it is not said that Christ hath any body in heaven nay the Quakers are of this vain mind that Jesus Christ is not God and Man in one Person the substance of these Quakers words is plainly this that Christ Jesus his body is one which is his Church behold except the Church which is Christs mystical body our Saviour hath no other body to speak the Quakers mind more fully two of my Neighbour-quakers told me That Christs body did vanish at his Ascension and that now he hath no other flesh or body but the flesh or body of his people behold according to the meaning of Quakers how the Lord Jesus since his Ascension into Heaven hath no true body united to his Godhead in his own person that the body or flesh of Quakers his pretended people is the only body or flesh of our Saviour or to use these Quakers words the Church in their sense is the one body which Christ now hath Q. p. 80. Q. Numb 98 Who redeems and makes free from sin and the law with the body of Christ he that hath an ear may hear Pr. Pr. Here is Christ according to these Quakers made a strange Saviour who makes free from sin and the law with the body of Christ if this be not unscriptural Divinity what is according to these Quakers Christs body is the Quakers Church but surely this is not the body of
Father this is no point of this Quakers Faith this is only the confession of Presbyterians and Independents who are his adversaries brethren 4ly Jesus the Son of Mary doth not to use his own words exist outwardly bodily without us at Gods right hand according to this Quaker this is a false doctrine for which there is no Scripture-proof as for Gods right hand this Quaker doth scoffingly ask what or where is it is it visible or invisible within us or without us only Thus Jesus the Son of Mary sitting on Gods right hand in Heaven is no article of this Quakers faith 5ly Christ the Saviour the Son of Mary is no outward bodily existent person without us distinct from God to hold Christ our Saviour to be a distinct person from God the Father is no part of this Quakers faith The light within guides no Quakers to own this great Gospel-truth their spirit inspires none of them to be sound in this doctrine of faith Light of Light very God of very God is none of their faith 6ly Christ the Saviour the Son of Mary is not to be worshipped as God Mind it well the Hypostatical Union on is not owned by any Quaker because the Quakers do deny our Saviour to be God man in one person therefore they deny that the Son of Mary is to be worshipped as God 7ly That Christ the Saviour the Son of Mary is outwardly bodily glorified at Gods right hand is no Scripture-truth Lastly to call Mary the Mother of God is a Popish saying which to be sure is not Scripture-language in this Quaking discourse the learned may observe many old Heresies revived however by this Quakers golden Calf the nature of true Christianity is made naked it is stript off its primitive glory it may now truly be called Ichabod for by this Quakers most ugly doctrine the glory is departed from it Q. p. 51. Q. Numb 26 Whereas thou goest so often over with these words Jesus Christ the Son of Mary whom thou callest God-man I ask thee if this be not of kin to the Papists calling Mary the Mother of God and where did the Apostles so often or ever use these expressions Jesus Christ God-man the Son of the Virgin Mary and who were they that said Is not this the Carpenter the Son of Mary But Peter gave an higher testimony of him when he said Thou art Christ the Son of the living God But do not the Papists honour him as much as thou in their frequent calling him the Son of Mary as thou hast done Pr. Pr. This Quakers discourse serves to tell us that it is no piece of this Quakers Christianity to hold that Jesus Christ our Saviour is either the Son of Mary or God-man for he is angry with his adversary for going so often over with these words Jesus the Son of Mary and for calling him God-man this Quaker tells us to call Jesus the Son of Mary is that which is neer of kin to the Papists who call Mary the Mother of God Certainly this Quakers Light within is very dull-sighted which can neither discern Jesus to be the Son of Mary nor Mary to be the Mother of God the Son according to his Manhood Jesus Christ God-man in one person is a great stumbling-block in this Quakers way it 's against his Light within him to acknowledg Christ to be God and Man in one person therefore it must in his eye be Popery to call Christ the Son of Mary and Mary the Mother of God the communication of properties is a doctrine of which this Quaker takes no notice it 's not to tell whither an ignorant confidence will hurry those that are led by it to call Jesus Christ the Son of Mary God-man are those expressions saith the consident Quaker which were never used by the Apostles Behold what is the result of this ignorant confidence is it not this abominable assertion to the shame of true Christianity that Jesus Christ God-man the Son of Mary is no Gospel-truth taught by Christs own Apostles To go one step further to call Jesus the Son of Mary is according to this Quakers language to honour Christ no otherwise than those that said of him Is not this the Carpenter the Son of Mary Let us remark it once more it 's but a slight a vulgar dishonour put on our Saviour to call him Jesus the Son of Mary nay it 's Popery which is commonly counted Antichristianism to call Mary the Mother of God how ignorantly doth this Quaker decry Jesus from being the Son of Mary because St. Peter testified of him saying Thou art the Son of the living God therefore it is a false Popish testimony that Jesus Christ is the Son of the Virgin Mary Tremulus naviget ad Anticyras this pitiful Quaker wants a necessary dose for his pericranium common sense is ashamed of such mean arguing at this day no serious Christians none but deluded Quakers do deny Jesus Christ to be the Son of the Virgin Mary the Papists who believe many lyes are not so grosly deceived as this Quaker hath shewed himself to be in this point Q. Q. Numb 27 THe next Book to be considered is the Quakers Primer by S. C. and George Fox the younger Pr. Pr. Like the canker to the trees in the nursery so the mischievous design of this pitiful Primer is to corrupt from their infancy the young striplings of this Church and Kingdom under pretence of right-spelling to poyson them with Quakerism in their minority this is that leaven which is designed to sowre the whole lump to diffuse Quakerism through the whole body of this Nation a mischievous design if not timely prevented by his Sacred Majesty and those that are in authority under him there is in this Quaking-Primer magnum in parvo very much base doctrine contained in a few leaves Q. Q. It is called a new Book for Children to learn in by S. C. and George Fox the younger Pr. Pr. This latter hath shewed himself to be a crafty seeds-man by whose means little children are cunningly imposed upon therefore the more care is fit to be taken to prevent his dangerous attempt Books not so dangerous as this is have been burnt by the hand of the common hang-man as the Author is gone to his Judg so this Book deserves a black mark for his sake and its pestilent doctrine Q. p. 6. Q. Numb 28 A child may learn the fear of the Lord by taking heed unto the Light Pr. Pr. I might truly say that this Quaking-Primer begins with a lye thereby to corrupt childrens minds the Light within which is no express Scripture-phrase is indeed a meer fancy the real Quakers Idol which all children are early taught by these Quakers to fall down to and worship it 's false doctrine to make the Light within to be the teacher of the fear of God the holy fear of God which cleanseth both heart and life is taught by taking heed to Gods Word in this
for those people and priests that are not so bad as others in this Quakers account they are but cursed hypocrites as for any true Christianity this Quaker saith there is none to be found among them for the people are out of the life and practice of the Apostles and the Priests are cursed Teachers who bring another doctrine thieves that climb up another way if this Quaker hath not born false witness against his neighbour then let any sober impartial Christians judg surely this poor man was in a great quaking-heat swadled up in much consident ignorance which made him cry out Be ashamed and blush you Priests of England why so to see the fruits of your Ministry so laid open before you had this Quaker lived in those days then he would have looked upon the sins of Israel to have been the fruits of their Prophets Ministry or if he had been alive in Christs time he would have said that the sins of the Jews were the fruits of Christs Ministry and of his Disciples I may truly say the Quakers may truly be ashamed and blush to see so much inspired folly in print I need add no more in so plain case Q. p. 150 151. Q. Numb 81 Here you may see what England's Church which England's Priests have planted now differs from the heathen set drunkards aside set swearers aside set lyars aside set proud ones aside set covetous ones aside set railers aside set murderers aside set whoremongers aside set wild ones prophane ones wanton ones aside set quarrellers and fighters aside hypocrites dissemblers persecutors aside backbiters extortioners lustful ones aside then see where England's Church is Pr. Pr. In these rude quaking-lines we may easily see what thoughts this Quaker hath of the Church of England that in this Quakers account this Church is none of Gods Vineyard nor of his own planting with him it is only England's Priests Church which differs not at all from the heathen to speak this Quakers mind more fully England's Priests Church is nothing but a corrupt body consisting of bad members they are either as bad or worse than heathens that are members of the Church of England what can this Quaker mean by all this setting aside here mentioned is not this his quaking-mind that the Church of England is no sacred fold for Christs sheep for if the wicked like goats were set aside then it would appear what kind a Church it is he that considers those quaking-lines well may well conclude that the Quakers do believe that the Church of England is not the Church of God nor any member of the holy Catholick Church that Mystical body whereof Christ is the head behold once more that according to this Quakers mind drunkards swearers lyars proud ones covetous ones railers murderers whoremongers wild ones profane ones wanton ones quarrellers sighters hypocrites dissemblers persecutors back-biters extortioners lustful ones that is the worst of men are the chief members of the Church of England for saith he set these aside then see where England's Church is I need not tell the Judicious Reader that this Quaker hath shewed himself grosly ignorant of the nature of a particular visible Church if this man had lived in the Wilderness or in the Prophets days or in the days of the Apostles then at this rate of ignorance he would have unchurched the Church of God as he hath unchurched at this day the Church of God in England however all the right-bred children of the Church of England may now see what filth what disgrace hath by this Quaker been cast upon their Mother I may truly say that this deluded Quaker hath said enough to make the Church of England to become a den of thieves Antichrists dominion and the devils Kingdom which is no doubt a most base aspersion Q. p. 177. Q. Numb 82 And are made partakers of the Divine nature of Christ by which they are made Christians Pr. Pr. In these few words this Quaker hath given a most blasphemous account of all Quakers for he saith that they are made partakers of Christs Divine nature that they are Christians thus made behold here is our Saviours Godhead shared amongst the Quakers behold here are the Quakers made more than coheirs with Jesus Christ no less God than himself is like George Fox the old Quaker they are all equal with God himself with reference to this high base doctrine it may truly be said that every real Quaker is truly godded with God and christed with Christ for according to this abominable quaking assertion they are all partakers of that same Divine nature which Christ hath Mr. Higginson in his relation of the Irreligion of the Northern Quakers hath this passage pag. 3. One Williamsons Wife a disciple of Milners when she came to see him at Appleby said in the hearing of divers whose names might here be inserted if it were needful that she was the eternal son of God when the men that heard her told her that she was a woman and therefore could not be the son of God she said no you are women but I am a man This relation I shewed to two Quakers yet living hereby to let the blasphemous folly of Quakerism appear in its own colours to them but they were so far from blushing that they did both of them justifie this abominable blasphemy saying that all this might be made good at this horrid boldness I became silent but now behold here is Parnel a Quaker boldly but basely affirming that all Quakers are partakers of Christs Divine nature hence according to this quaking-blasphemy it appears evidently that women as well as men-quakers are no less the eternal sons of God than Christ himself is for they do alike partake of Christs Divine nature to back this intolerable blasphemy this Quaker in the next lines was not ashamed to misapply St. John's words as he is so are we in this world this horrid blasphemy is so apparent I shall dwell no longer upon it nor make any inferences from it I may truly say that James Naylors notorious blasphemy was the genuine issue of this abominable doctrine according to that infallible spirit who is said to guide all Quakers this is an infallible quaking-principle That all Quakers are partakers of Christs Divine nature besides it 's no wonder that this Quaker said p. 174 Thus is God with us manifested in the flesh thus all real Quakers are in their own vain imaginations godded with God and christed with Christ no less God incarnate than our Saviour that man is a stranger to Theologia Germanica who sees not how the leaven of that little Book hath sowered the Quakers whole lump this quaking-blasphemy is so gross that for its sake the Quakers may well be ashamed of their Light within Q. p. eâd. Q. Numb 83 Here is the true Church where there is but one Teacher one Lord one Faith one Baptism one Light one Life one Way one Shepherd and one Sheepfold one Priest over the
Christ which frees from sin and the law he that hath an ear may hear this false doctrine Q. p. 80. Q. Numb 99 Whereas thou wouldest know with what body the Saints shall arise in that body which Christ shall live in for he is the Saviour of the body the resurrection and life of the body Pr. Pr. The drift of these lines is to give us this quaking-account of the resurrection of the Saints That no particular Saints shall rise with particular bodies from death to life again to any that would know in what body the Saints shall rise these Quakers give this answer they shall rise in that body which Christ doth live in for he is the Saviour of the body but what body is it whereof Christ is the Saviour have not these Quakers told us it is the Church so then this according to the Quakers is the body in which Christ lives and in this body the Saints shall arise thus you may plainly see that the Quakers do plainly deny that particular Saints shall rise from death to life at the last day with their own particular bodies and in what corrupt sense they do hold the resurrection of the body Q. p. 83. Q. Num. 100 Philosophy and Logick which are of the devil Pr. Pr. It 's no wonder that the Quakers do bespatter the Universities and those that are educated in them behold how these Quakers do in their bold ignorance speak evil of those things they know not saying that Philosophy and Logick are of the devil the baseness of this charge is evident I need say no more of it Q. p. 85. Q. Num. 101 Who art querying whether Christ have a body and the Father none shewing thy self not to know the Lords body for the Son is in the Father and they are one and with thy carnal eye lookest upon him to be like thy self if thou knowest his body thou knowest the fathers for they are both one thou full of subtlety who art querying how the Son may be distinguished from the Father and they are not to be distinguished but it is thou who art making many Gods and makest three Gods Pr. Pr. In these quaking-lines we are told to this purpose that Jesus Christ hath no body of flesh united to his Godhead in his own person no more than God the Father hath 2ly That there are no distinction of Persons in the Godhead for as these Quakers say the Son of God and God the Father are not distinguished 3ly These Quakers say that to distinguish God the Son from God the Father is making many Gods 4ly In the Quakers account to affirm three distinct Persons in the Godhead is likewise the making of three Gods Q. p. 98. Q. Num. 102 Christ did not send forth his Disciples to sprinkle a little durty water upon childrens faces as your filthy dreamers do and tell them it is an Ordinance of Christ who are lyars of him Pr. Pr. In these quaking-lines Infant-baptism is basely denied in this Quakers account it 's nothing but sprinkling a little durty water in childrens faces they that baptize children are termed by this Quaker filthy dreamers it 's also here said in effect that they do belye Christ who say that Infant-baptism is an Ordinance of Jesus Christ Q. p. 99 100. Q. Num. 103 The cup which thou drinkest we do deny for thy cup is the cup of devils and thy table is the table of devils which is an Idol and an imitation and thy sacrifice is to devils and not to God for do not drunkards meet at thy table and swearers and cursed speakers and fighters and who follow all manner of filthy pleasures and idolaters and covetous and these are thy companions and thy fellowship at thy table and what hast thou to do to talk of the cup of Christ who sits at the table of devils and drinks the cup of devils Pr. Pr. In these quaking-lines you see how the Sacrament of the Lords Supper is despised the cup blessed a Quaker calls here the cup of devils the Lords table he saith is the Priests table and calls it the table of devils of the Lords table he saith it is an idol and imitation receiving in remembrance of Christ sacrificed for us is sacrificing to devils and not to God in this Quakers esteem that the fellowship at the Lords table is very wicked that Communicants present themselves at the table of devils and do drink the cup of devils the Lords Supper as it is usually celebrated according to Christs own institution is in a Quakers account no more you see but the cup and table of devils an idol and imitation and a sacrificing to the devils and holding fellowship with wicked livers Q. p. 100. Q. Num. 104 Priests and Suppers and bread and wine is an imitation and an image which is the likeness of a thing which the Lord forbids Thou shalt not make to thy self any graven image nor the likeness of any thing Pr. Pr. This Quaker gives us plainly to understand what mean things Priests Suppers bread and wine are or to speak his mind more clearly that Preists the Lords Supper celebrated upon Communion-days Sacramental bread and wine are no more in this Quakers eye but an imitation and an image the likeness of a thing forbidden by God in the second Commandment till this Quakers heated fancy imposed upon him did ever any man affirm or was it ever read that Sacramental bread and wine or the Lords Supper was an image the likeness of a thing forbidden by God in the second Commandment given at mount Sinai surely no man of common sense can swallow this quaking inspiration the great folly of this poor man is transparent Q. p. 104. Q. Num. 105 We are moved by the immediate Spirit of Christ to write to teach or to exhort or to put in print our giving forth papers or printed books it is from the immediate eternal Spirit of God Pr. Pr. We may behold here that all Quakers are in their own account become so many infallible Popes they do all imagine themselves to be possessed of the immediate Eternal Spirit of God of Christ See here also that in all they write teach exhort or print all Quakers are moved by the immediate Spirit of Christ that there are no papers given forth nor books printed by any Quakers though never so full of ignorance of false Grammer of nonsense of false charges of false doctrine of old errors of abominable blasphemy of ridiculous impertinences but they are all basely pretended to be from the immediate Eternal Spirit of God In this Glass you may likewise see in what esteem with themselves their papers and books printed are in comparison of the Scripture this which is Gods word and Gods book given by inspiration of God is with all Quakers decryed as being not the word of God no light no rule but the letter a dead letter an idol husk a shadow dust a carnal letter whilst their papers and books are owned
lost for want of true knowledg that they do only differ from the heathen in name and profession See Numb 79. ARTICLE LX.

N. was called the Family of Love one God and Father of all who is the Light within all Quakers that they that cannot witness all this to be true are strangers to Christ and strangers to the Commonwealth of Israel See Numb 83.
