will tell thee That by thy taking out and adding to the words of that bock thou hast desperately involved thy self not onely to have thy part taken out of the book of Life but also to have all the plagues fall upon thee Leonard that are written in that book as is in full effect affirmed in Rev. 2.18 19. and not onely God's Law thus fiercely condemns thee and all such false quakers as thou hast proved thy self to be but also thy brother quaker James Naylers condemning Law aforesaid doth adjudge thee Leonard Fell by thy self manifested evil behaviour to be a lyer and so no abider in the truth but art of the Devil and not of Christ and because you quakers do refuse the gracious benefit of the Gospel-imputation that James Naylers censure of thee Leonard is true and just TWELFTHLY My twelfth Discourse is with thee Martha Simmonds and truely Martha thy folly is so apparent that I could almost have seemed to have thrown by my pen and have left thee to have been censured by thine own gross ignorance by thee published in print but yet I shall do thee this favour Martha to help thee to see how the Devil deludes thee if it may be Martha I finde in thy bock which thou callest A Lamentation for the lost Sheep amongst divers quakish errors by thee therein manifested as birds of a feather will flock together that even so thou Martha also hast perverted and wickedly falsified the cleer and plain sense of holy Scripture to serve thy master Satan where thou sayest Now Jesus Christ the second Adam who is God manifested in the flesh condemning sin in the flesh if thou live in him in thee and believe in him in thee thou shalt witness his power to the cutting down of thy will for thy will must come to death that the will of God may be done and so that Scripture comes to be fulfilled in thee which are the words of Christ Lo I come in the volume of thy book it is written of me to do thy will O God which is the book of conscience in thee there the will of God is to be done These be thy words Martha And now know thou and all quakers That Jesus Christ is before now come in his own distinct person of flesh without men but not come personally in yours nor any other mans body of flesh which is largely and firmly proved in my two last Discourses so that a man is not so to live in him in him nor so to believe in him in him as thou falsly saiest for you quakers Christ dwells in no man any other wayes but by Faith which is in plain and full effect proved in Ephes 3.17 neither is Christ abidingly in any man no not in God's sons but by his Spirit which is also proved in Gal. 4.6 and from this ground Christ's Spirit is called the Spirit of Faith 2 Cor. 4 4. and from thence the Saints are said to be the habition of God through to Spirit Eph. 2.22 but not whole Christ God and Man in men but by faith and his Spirit and therefore these Scriptures do confound that thy saying Martha And whereas thou saiest That that Scripture Lo I come in the volume of thy book it is written of me to do thy will O God Heb. 10.7 is to be fulfilled in men It is so evident That that will of God in that same Scripture mentioned is already fulfilled in Christs person onely and never was fulfilled in any other person nor never can be wrought over again in Christs person neither for that will of God was fulfilled by Christs death in his being sacrificed but Christ being raised from the dead dieth no more death hath no more dominion over him Rom. 6.9 This again proves cleerly That you quakers are not Christ as you brag you are for Christ now cannot die but it is apparent that you quakers do die as other men do therefore you quakers are not Christ and yet you are so impudent that you dare to say That as Christ is so are you in this world but shame attends upon you But to proceed it is evident That that will of God in that thy cited place mentioned Heb. 10.7 is not to be fulfilled in any mans person whatsoever but as that will of God hath been already perfectly fulfilled in Christ's person by his being personally sacrificed without men whereby he did put a total end to the vertues of all or any typical sacrifices And this is so evident a truth flying even in the very face of that thy false and lying saying Martha that it would be altogether superfluous any further to prove it then to intreat my Reader to peruse Heb. 10. from the 1 vers to the 12. In which space Martha's wickedly abused vers 7. is included And again Nartha whereas thou saiest That by the volume of the book in that place mentioned is meant of the volume of the book of mens consciences it is evident against the Devil speaking in thee Martha that by the volume of the book in that place mentioned is plainly meant to be the volume of the books of the Prophets for the same words written in thy cited vers Heb. 10.7 Lo I come in the volume of thy book it is written of me do appear plainly in the Prophet David's book in his Psalm 40.6 7 8. and in the volume of the Prophet Moses book and Esay 53. and divers other Prophets do in the volume of their books speak so clearly of Christ's death and being to be sacrificed that it would utterly be time lost any further to prove against thy quakish notorious lyes which thou hast learned by-heart by thy accustomed dancing after the Devil's pipe And hereby appears That by your quakers luciferian-like bragging as if you onely were in the light and yet by your falling down so extremely short in the understandings of such cleer and plain places of Scripture and by your delivering such eternally destructive Doctrine from them you deliver up your selves to be one of the most deluded and deluding miracles and monsters of the whole world THIRTEENTHLY My thirteenth Discourse is directed to the four and twentieth quaker the mighty writing quaker James Parnel And now comes his fearful blasphemies tumbling out of his Thraso-like boasting lying book which he calls A Shield of the Truth for observe my Reader and though it be one or more of the self-Christed quakers I care not for as it were passing by James Parnels murthering of himself in Colchester-Goal by his inordinate and by Scripture-condemned fasting as he said luciferian-like to shew himself to be a Prophet of the Lord for people to believe in him which was not to believe his words but to believe in him to whom he promised the eternal joyes of heaven as I finde recorded and said to be licensed according to order And passing by the numerous bulk of his great quakish errors his whole book being nothing else but lyes in

any others righteousness to their imagined perfect perfection And thus they make themselves to be bran-new coyned glistering Christs without meritorious works also for they new being Christ assume to themselves authority to justifie their own Christhoods without merit or forgiveness from any God or Christ without or besides their own now Christes selves And further to confirm all this they affirm That Christ had no Body but his Church which is shewed in my next Discourse And now to shew that their own actions and words do confirm all this to be true which hath been said of them observe that they the quakers though some of them being not yet ripe quakers are something mealy mouthed yet that there are many bold-faced quakers that speak out and declare openly saying I am the way the truth and the life I am the judge of the world I am equal with God I am God's fellow I am God And as I have shewed That divers quakers have been upon evidence charged that they have thus spoken openly in full effect So I shall passing by James Milner and John Gilpin while he was a quaker though all their sayings are no less then if they did say I am Christ yet now I will for brevity sake onely produce one quaker from amongst the rest that did very lately proclaim openly in divers place in Cambridge-Market upon a Market-day which Town is about 3 miles from me the quaker then and there declared publickly with a loud voice saying I am Christ take my yoke upon you learn of me for I am meek and lowly of heart The quaker taking up Christ's own words by him spoken as in Mat. 11.29 and by that quakers saying directly I am Christ it being suitable to the other quakers affirmations it appears there are many quaker-Christs and how they come to be so in their own estimation is before herein laid open even to publick view Some of them having also undertaken to save souls as Christ did And now it is worthy to be treasured up in the memory of all honest hearts how agreeable all these the quakers publick behaviours and declarations are to our Saviour's loving forewarning by him given and left to the world for men to take heed of such deceivers which he then said should arise in the world where he saith Let no man deceive you for many shall come in my Name saying as it is proved they say I am Christ those being the very same words which these deceivers apply to themselves and shall deceive many Matth. ●4 4 5. And further to prove that the quakers are deceivers note that they say they have no sin in them and they say also by their tenents That a man must be totally perfect from all sin in him or else he cannot be saved But now behold how flat contrary and against the Scriptures these their sayings are where it is said There is no man that sinneth not 1 Kings 8.46 There is no man that sinneth not 2 Chron. 6.26 and that there is not a just man upon the earth that doeth good and sinneth not Eccles 7.20 I could produce many other Testimonies from the Saints words they frequently confessing they were sinners but if we will believe God's own inspired Word before we give credence to such luciferian and as we have before proved dissembling equivocating hypocrites falsifiers of Scripture-words and notorious lying quakers then shall we apparently know That they are the very same deceivers which our Saviour forewarns us to take heed of for he saith they shall deceive many and accordingly it is very evident that they do deceive many And our Saviour goeth on and saith Then if any man say to you Lo here is Christ as they say I am Christ or lo he is there believe it not for false Christs shall arise and false Prophets and shall shew signs and wonders to deceive if it were possible the very elect but take ye heed behold I have shewed you all things before Mar. 13.21 22 23. Now the quakers many Christs being proved by holy Scripture to be false Christs let us apply to that truth the quakers proving themselves to be false Prophets also which is proved in my third Discourse and their striving to be accounted the Prophets of the Lord which appears in my thirteenth Discourse and adding thereto their Scripture-condemning signs and wonders which are shewed at the quakers meetings and preachings which is shewed by complaints made against them related in a printed book called Saul's Errand those tormenting signs and wonders being acted upon the bodies not onely of elder people but also upon and in the bodies of little children which the quakers do not deny And considering their astonishing signs and wonders shewed at their meeting which appears in my fourteenth Discourse These things being viewed together it will appear cleerly That all those three marks by which our Saviour discovers these deceivers he speaks of that is to say False Christs secondly false Prophets thirdly shewing signs and wonders are all firmly fixed by the quakers behaviours upon themselves That they are false Christs and false Prophets shewing deceitful signs and wonders And now if we do take notice in John Gilpin's printed book before named in my third Discourse That he therein affirmeth that the Devil did declare to him John Gilpin when he was a quaker in divers sorts of discoveries confirmed by a voice in him that he the devil was Christ in him and how that when the Devil did finde that John Gilpin did distrust it was he spake in him and not Christ as that voice in him pretended and that thereupon John Gilpin declined from the Devil and the quakers that then the Devil to draw John Gilpin into utter desparation on the other hand did acknowledge plainly that he was the Devil that had taught him and that he had been serving him the Devil and not Christ and that the Devil did tell him in full effect therewith that now it was too late for him to repent there was no mercy for him But John Gilpin in that book giveth God thanks for his great mercy in delivering him from the Devil and quakery And thus we have the Devils own testimony That it was he the Devil and not Christ that so powerfully acted in John Gilpin whilst he was a quaker And so in this discovery we have the Devils own testimony against the quakers Again calling to minde that James Nayler a principal teaching quaker hath so firmly proved by his own behaviour and divers other quakers and thereby hath adjudged himself and them also to be lyers and so not abiders in the truth and so are of the Devil and not of Christ by this we have the quakers own confession condemning themselves also So that now we have first Christ's own testimony pointed forth by three several marks secondly the consent of the Scriptures thirdly the quakers own confession and self-adjudgment and fourthly the testimony of the devil himself enforced as

the drift of it I shall for brevity sake onely discover some few of them to give a taste to all the rest and to this end I finde recorded by him in his 31 pag. he therein affirming That John to wit the holy Apostle S● John though his peramount height would not stoop so low as to call him so but as being his equal if not his superiour he affirmed John said He that hath hope in him purifieth himself even as he is pure but St. John did not say so for he saith Every man that hath this hope in him purifieth himself c. But James Parnel hereby not onely falsifieth the very words of Scripture by his taking the most significant word this out of that Text but he also therewith telleth a notorious lye against all denial by his affirming John said so and so he also fathereth his loud lye upon St. John by his affirming John said so He that hath hope in him whereas St. John said not so but said Every man that hath this hope in him But beloved it is worth our search to futer out the cause why James Parnel was so frighted as to take out of that Text that significant word this and we shall finde that if James Parnel had not taken out the word this it would have led his Reader to search further to know what is meant by this hope as distinct from all other hopes and his Reader would finde out in the very next verse going before that verse what St. John meant by his saying Every man that hath this hope for St. John in his very next precedent verse saith Behold now are we the Sons of God and it doth not yet appear what we shall be but we know that when he shall appear we shall be like him for we shall see him as he is 1 John 3.2 but then in the next verse St. John saith And every man that hath this hope in him purifieth himself c. vers 3. to wit that hope which St. John declareth in his 3 verse But James Parnel was so amazed at those words this hope that he craftily took that word this out of that Text before he could make any quakish Doctrine of it But why so why so say you Why if he had taken in those words this hope they would have discovered First That whereas the quakers say That Christ's appearing the second time without sin unto salvation is manifested and accomplished in them both as Christ is God and Man But even the Sons of God in that Text do cry down that the quakers affirmation as being a delusion of the Devil for they even the Sons of God do affirm the flat contrary and say in full effect That Christ had not appeared by his second personal coming not so much as to them therefore much less in them though the quakers say That Christ is in them God and Man Secondly Those words this hope doth discover that whereas the quakers do affirm That they are so like Christ even in these their dayes of mortality that they do venture audaciously to say As he is so are we in this world even totally without sin in them as Christ is for they affirm That if a man be not totally free from sin in him he cannot be saved But even the sons of God do even in that Text affirm against the quakers That they were not like him in the dayes of their mortality and so were not then free from all sin in them as Christ is nor that they though they were even the Sons of God yet were not then so like Christ nor should be untill his second personal appearing for they there say We know that when we shall appear we shall be like him and it doth not yet appear what we shall be Thus punctually the Sons of God do by those words this hope confound that the quakers luciferian comparing themselves in equality to Christ Thirdly Those words this hope do discover that whereas the quakers tenents do maintain that no man can be a Son of God until Christ's second appearing God and man be manifested and accomplished in him But St. John and other Sons of God do in that Text maintain in plain and full effect that the Saints are the Sons of God even before Christs second personal appearing to them much less in them And whereas the quakers in full effect affirm that they have Christ God and Man in them in possession the Sons of God do affirm by that Text that it is their hope that Christ will appear at his second personal coming to them and not personally in them in possession And thus the holy Gospel-truths comprehended under those words this hope in that Text mentioned do utterly destroy all the three grounds upon which the whole Doctrine of quakery is founded even root and branch Now was it not high time think you my beloved for James Parnel to flie swiftly away from those words this hope This hope quotha it is enough not onely to affright James Parnel out of his light quakish wits but it doth also confound all the quakers not onely these in all England but also all quakers in all the whole world although no other Scriptures which do maintain the same Gospel infallible truths be produced against them for those two verses 1 John 3.2 3 are a key as is shewed to open a door of truth which doth utterly destroy all quakery root stem and twig this hope quotha I wonder James Parnal durst venture to come so ●eer it but you may see beloved That Satan in him and with him did go as wa●ily to work as they could for they first dragged that directing word this out of that Text and then so falsified they vapouringly howl'd i● forth as it were saying See here ●●e purity of the quakers Behold John saith That the quakers have s●me kinde of hope in them And now note James Parnel's direct falsifying the very words of the Scripture again for i● his 30 and 31 pag. he saith He that hath sin and saith he hath no sin deceives himself and is a lyer Thus be insers That there are some me● that have no sin in them which ●el●●th affirmed of himself in my ●earing of which here●f●ere but th●se his added words He that hath sin did not in that Text 1 John 1.8 and 〈◊〉 by his taking the word this out of the Scriptures as b●●●●e 〈…〉 his adding words unto the Scripture to delude people with 〈◊〉 ●●volved himself not onely to have his part taken out of the book 〈◊〉 but also to have all those plagues inflicted on him that are written in the book as is in full effect shewed Rev. 22.18 19. and for his lying brother quaker James Nayler's condemning law also adjudgeth him to be of the devil and not of Christ And now to discover James Parnel's notorious lyes and fearful blasphemies mixt together in his quakish Shield of the Truth note That in his 29 pag. he saith
