is not malicious and in this thou art a false accuser and in saying I am a Seducer thou art a Slanderer I charge thee to prove it and in what which thou hast not yet done though thou rail upon me and I did not write maliciously against any much less against Godly Magistrates and faithful Ministers but Godly Magistrates I own and honour in the Lord and faithful Ministers I have unity withal and brethren in iniquity are denied therefore thee I do deny who a worker of iniquity art found and from the presence of the Lord shut among the Serpent Generation who in scorn calls us Quakers and the word is against thee who art feeding upon dust and going upon thy Belly and the Word of the Lord even the word of Truth is against thee who art an accuser of the Brethren and rewarded must thou be according to ' thy deeds and though thou hast named that Book the Innocent Delivered yet let all take notice who reads thy filthy Paper that thou hast not answered any one thing there demanded neither confuted any one answer in that Book so the snare remains broken and the Innocent is delivered and he that digged a pit into it himself falls and the Scripture is fulfilled they that help and he that is holpen both fall together And whereas thou sets down many Scriptures as of blind guides Serpents Scribes Pharisees Hypocrites whited Sepulchres and writest Ye Serpents ye Vipers how can ye escape the damnation of Hell ye are they that justifie your selves before men but that which is highly esteemed amongst men is an abomination to the Lord. Relpy In that which is an abomination to the Lord thou art which is esteemed amongst men and these Scriptures were spoken to thy Generation and upon thy own Head they are returned for we seek not the praise of men neither have we the praise of men and therefore it is that the Blind guides Vipers Serpents gather themselves together against the Truth which by the Power of God is now spreading a witness against all deceit and deceivers Thou sayest thou writest directly to thee John Audland and usest these words thou hypocrite why hath Satan filled thy heart to lye against the Holy Ghost why boastest thou thy self in mischief O mighty man thy Tongue deviseth mischief like a sharp Rasor thou lovest evil more then good thou lovest all devouring words O thou deceitful Tongue God shall destroy thee for ever And sayest Paul set his eyes on Elimas the Sorcerer and said as I may say to thee John Audland O full of subtilty and all mischief thou Child of the Devil and sayest repent of this thy wickedness for I perceive thou art in the gall and bitterness and in the Bond of iniquity and many such works thou writest Reply Take it to thy self who art of the Generation to which it was spoken for home to thee do I return it who art in the bitterness and in the gall loving all devouring words these things comes not neer me but over thy head do I rejoyce the misery will fall upon thy self and thy unclean Spirit the Lord rebuke a false accuser thou art and a Slanderer I do not love evil more than good if I had I should not have become thine Enemy neither am I in the gall of bitterness or bond of iniquity thou hast uttered that which thou knowest not for if thou hadst known what this means I will have Mercy and not Sacrifice thou wouldst not have condemned the innocent And whereas thou sayest judge not that thou be not judged and judge nothing before the time and with what measure thou meetest it shall be measured to thee again and writest against others for railing and judging Reply Thou art inexcusable who judgest another and dost the same thing thy Mouth is full of railing lying false accusing which proceeds out of the abundance of thy Heart as in thy Book appears and out of thy own Mouth thou art condemned and this I demand whether calling others Serpents Vipers full of all mischief Children of the Devil be not judging and if this be not then shew the difference between this and judging thou hast gone about to confute that the Saints are not to judge and that confutes thee who yet knows not a Saints Life and art so blind thou cannot behold that thou alloweth thy self in the thing which thou condemneth and with what measure thou measurest it shall be measured to thee again good weight shalt thou receive from the hand of the Lord who art weighed and found as Chaff which the Wind drives to and fro In thy 7th page thou beseecheth all who shall read thy Book upon consideration of the premises which is these things before mentioned to avoid and abandon the Meetings Books erroneous Doctrines and hellish Blasphemies of this new upstart impious Generation Reply All who knows the Lord and reads thy Book will avoid thee and it and have no fellowship with such unfruitful works of Darkness thou hast forgotten judge not and thou Hypocrite first cast out the beam thy envious Spirit which fomes like the Sea casting up filth swells beyond its bounds but thou art limited as all thy impious Generation have been and by the Power of the Lord are we preserved from thy errors and hellish Blasphemy and thy railing and slandering return upon thy self fruitless Tree upon which no Grapes are gathered Thou sayest what Paul said to the Galatians the same thou wilt say to the giddy-headed People of the Church of England Reply The true Church is in God builded upon the true Rock and is not giddy-headed here thou manifests the fruits of the Teachers who so long hath taught and had so much for teaching and the Church of England yet giddy-headed but the Lord is coming to gather his people into the true Fold from the mouths of all Idol Shepherds and to teach his People himself that they may be established in righteousness Thou sayest Paul taught the Romans and in them us first that it is the imputed Righteousness of Christ only that makes us just in the sight of God. Secondly that our election is of Gods free Grace Thirdly that me are justified only by faith in the Sight of God without good works Fourthly that the Scriptures are of divine authority Reply Silence flesh before the Lord upon the Children of disobeience shall the Wrath of God be revealed own thy Portion what Paul said to such as thee thou must witness a change before that which Paul wrote to the Romans be to thy condition the Lord is our Righteousness and our Justification and by his Grace we are saved who hath elected us and chosen us in Christ Jesus who hath all power and authority committed unto him and upon whose Shoulders the Government is laid but from thy earthly wisdom is the Election and the Faith hid who art without good works and belyes the Apostle and ignorant art of the Letter which kills Fifthly
