of the Great Whore as themselves entitle their Book not only by their Reproaches and Slanders but by their Flatteries p. 45. He that hateth dissembles with his lips when he speaks fair believe him not but his hatred being covered with deceit his wickedness shall be shewed 26 Proverbs And although they endeavour to excuse their Errors by some sound Expressions in their Books but there are few if any Hereticks or their Books but speak some Truths but they must not excuse the Errors for it 's them which be objected against and not the Truths but them Truths are but as the Golden Cup in the Hand of the Great Whore to allure People to drink of her deadly Poyson and do as the dead-Fly cause the Oyntment to send forth a stinking savour And that People may not be thereby deceived I am concerned to discover the wicked Mystery of this Great Whore G. F's Spirit which as they say excels all therefore I expect they will allow me to give it the preference and not be angry I do not attend their Lot but if I should take their Example and Print against them what I have by Credible Information as it 's said much filthiness would appear to be under their Skirts And this Spirit of theirs cannot be the Spirit of Truth for that was to lead into Truth but theirs have lead them into Untruth and Error therefore is Antichrist although they call it Light And there was a Generation who called Darkness Light but if that Light in you be Darkness how great is that Darkness And for your Charge p. 22. that I incense the Magistrates against you because I cite some of G. F's Errors about Civil Government that is also false and your own Printed Doctrine and Practises sufficiently warrant me therein See your wicked Pamphlets Truth 's Character c. p. 15. Say you Must not Jealousie be stirred up in the Powers of the Earth against them as they have against others and say you As they have sought to make others ridiculous even so shall they become contemptible I can give you an whole Book of these your wickedness and not out of the Quaker unmask'd neither as you falsely insinuate although I refer to that because much of your Wickedness is there collected together out of some others I wish you had minded what I before said to you in Animadversions c. p. 11. Lay your hands on your mouths if you have any shame left But I shall not now trouble my self to take notice of all your Slanders and Untruths because it 's not for my own Vindication that I contend but for the true Faith in our Lord Jesus as it was delivered to us by the Holy Evangelists and Apostles therefore I no more mind this Servant of the High-Priest's Edward Pennington's smiting me than was taken of his Predecessor in 23d of the Acts but I rather observe the Advice in 26 Proverbs 4 5 Verses For such evil men must grow worse and worse foaming out their own shame but their Folly must be made manifest unto all Men. And I fear not but the same Lord Jesus of Nazareth who hath delivered me from the Paw of J. Field and from the Mouth of G. Whitehead Foxonian Chief Priests will also deliver me from this uncircumcised Philistine the High-Priest's Servant Ed. Pennington And for their Rage because I discover G. Fox's Errors now he is dead but these Errors are living and they have done much worse by J. Perrat since his Death slandering him in Print near Twenty Years after his Death although no such occasion given as hath been by G. F. also agravated by you in endeavouring to preserve that which is for Destruction 10 Proverbs 7. And it s not intended to prejudice any as you falsly surmise nor can any harm be to you but good If you be Christians you must deny those gross Errors in Print for either G. Fox W. Pen c. had them from the mouth of the Lord or they were Conjurers Diviners and False Prophets you must own or condemn them and such their mouths must be stopped much more their Books being much worse than Verbal Errors especially as you magnifie the Authors for the Devil may no more speak in your Books than by word of mouth See your Discoverers c. p. 5. And whereas these Foxonian Priests charge me for abusing G. F. because I say he claimed to be Equal with God I have now the Book which G. F. pretends to Answer in Great Mystery p. 67. from whence I took that Sentence and although there G. F. only says Thou makest a great pudder that any should witness he is equal with God but he G. F. is there positively charged in the Book entituled A Brief Relation of the Irreligion c. p. 2. The words be thus G. F. hath avowed himself over and over to be equal with God and being asked in presence of many Persons there named whether he was equal with God as he had before been heard to affirm He answered I am equal with God And saith the Book this hath been attested on Oath before the Justices of the Sessions and also the Judge at Lancaster Assizes 1652. Now to all this and more G. F. Answers as above Thou makest a great pudder c. as if he had not so affirmed of himself But if he did not so say why did not he deny it But that he durst not because of so many Witnesses But he G. F. takes no notice of the Man's charging him as avowing it but would by his Juggling Answer blind the Readers that they might not know he had so affirmed of himself but that he were only a Witness But the Charge was not for saying the Holy Ghost was equal with God but that he G. F. was so and he answered in the Affirmative Also in pag. 3. he is charged to have said he was the Christ the Eternal Judge of the World he passes it by and does not deny it but answers to other impertinent things and spends almost a Page to prove the false Prophets were come in the Apostles time thereby to blind People that he may not be suspected as one as if because there were such then therefore he could not be one but although there had been many before him yet he might be one also But I observe it was his way to make People believe him to be in the Truth by manifesting others Errors and thereby prevailed on People to believe him without due Tryal And notwithstanding it 's so plainly charged in Print that G. F. did say he was equal with God and he does not deny it but by shifts and Quibbles vindicates it as from the Assemblies Catechism allowing the Holy Ghost equal with God which is besides the Question which was whether he G. F. was so and not whether the Holy Ghost was equal with God and G. F. answered he was Yet these Foxonian Priests to blind People charge me with abusing him
and Blood likewise Take the Pillory to your selves there 's no room for T. C. nor would he be wich such a cursed Company who Preach another Gospel and trample under foot the Precious Blood of the Cross of our dear Lord Jesus of Nazareth making it no more than the Blood of another Saint and therein worse than the Blood of Beasts for that as shed in Sacrifice according to the Lord 's Appointment sanctified as to the Purifying of the Flesh which the Blood of a Saint could not do Here is a great deal of Wickedness as well as Envy against me manifest in this one Passage more than I can discover but I hope the Lord will raise up some more abler to detect their Wickedness and defend the true Faith for indeed they are so Rich and Numerous that without a Miracle it 's not likely such inconsiderable Persons as G. K. E. B. and my self should be able to carry on so great a Work for by their strength of Purse and Persons and Interest they have so spread their Erroneous Books they have great Advantage and Truth suffers but I am not out of hopes but that our Lord Jesus and the true Faith shall and will overcome whatever my Lot may be from them who take such a small and causeless occasion to revile me when themselves are guilty in such an abominable degree This shews that if they had Power they would be as kind to me as they were to the poor Lad they cruelly whipt for throwing a little dirt or dust on one of them And for further Proof of their contempt of our Lord Jesus of Nazareth his Blood and Sufferings I find they in Pensilvania charge G. K. with Heresie and for Proof of their Charge bring his saying The Light within was not sufficient to Salvation without something else and he G. K. explains that by something else he means the Man Christ Jesus and what he did and suffered without us yet they persist in condemning him as an Heretick and this shews the falseness of their Pretence that it 's not for or about his Doctrine that they deny him See this more at large in a Book entituled Heresie and Hatred c. by G. K. Printed in Pensilvania In which Book pag. 3. it 's said that when G. K. desired them to prove him guilty of Heresie by Scripture S. Jennings answered They were not to prove it from Scripture but from Friends Books for the Question was not who was the best Christian but who was the best Quaker So that by their own Rule the best Christian is not the best Quaker nor the best Quaker the best Christian but a good Christian and a good Quaker are two several and distinct Persons or things And hereby they shew that they prefer Quakerisâ— and their own Books before the Scriptures and Christianity although G. W. hath the confidence to say They prefer the Scriptures before any other Books But in this and other things he is proved guilty of bearing false Witness For had W. Penn and the rest of their Chief Priests of the last Yearly Meeting been good Christians they would have condemned their Brethren S. Jennings c. who condemned G. K. for Heresie and vindicated G. K. and his Doctrine but that they dare not do for then they must condemn G. Fox and themselves also And although they have given so many Hellish Names to the Ministers in general some others G.W. in Print calls Devils Dogs Wolves Devils Incarnate c. See New Rome Arraigned c. Yet these People have the Face to complain in Print because they are termed Quakers as in their Book entituled West answering to the North c. G. Fox and two more in a Warrant for their Commitment are stiled Quakers and although their Names and places of abode is also expressed in the Warrant yet they are so offended at those terms Who go under the Name of Quakers and acknowledge themselves to be such that they say in their pag. 8. He who distinguisheth whatever he be Judge or Justice a Generation of Men under one and the same Government from the rest and puts upon them a hateful Name of distinction and reproach whereby they and others are set in Opposition breaks the Peace overthrows the end of the Law and leads into War and every evil work for from 〈◊〉 very distinguishing of Men and branding them with terms of Reproach was the War brought forth c. And such an one is an evil doer in a high degree to whom the Sword of the Magistrate of God is a terror and on whom it is to pass c. Much more such exclamations in the whole Book of 170 Pages they make filling it with trivial â—â—ssages as of a rude Jaylor's bidding them kiss and put their Noses into his Breec 〈…〉 â—nd such silly sluff and in the Title Page of this Book say they The fierce and cruel Persecution of the manifestation of the Son of God unheard of and inhumane Sufferings of G. Fox c. Also in the Warrant for their Commitment after some Misdemeanors are alledged as cause for their Commitment it 's said they refuse to take the Oath of Abjuration c. Now after they G. F. c. had exclaimed against their being termed Quakers of the Justice say they He is a shame to the Government and say they of him After he had mustered up his black Troops of Lyes to destroy the Innocent it to accomplish by a Familiar Spirit he raises up the Ghost of the great Monster et cetera whose Mouth is as large as Hell c. who was begotten by the late Bishops on the Whore of Babylon and damned by the Parliament with that whole Generation that brought it forth of whom it was the sudden destruction Root and Branch c. p. 15. Much more such I could cite out of this Book but I believe they will think this enough But if it be such a damnable sin in this Justice to use one et caetera how will they damn me who have used so many et caetera's in Controversie with them Can any one Copy out their own Condemnation more exacter and effectually than these G. F. c. have done theirs by this afore exclaiming against others for calling them Quakers and putting et cetera into their Mittimus For if their Persecuting by Fine and Imprisoning R Bradford and taking away his Working-Tools in Pensilvania also their Prosecuting of F. Bugg by Indictment as Seditious and for Scandal or Desaming them and Printing without License and complaint against him to the Secretary of State when themselves greatly guilty of the same Crimes they falsly and maliciously prosecuted F. Bugg for I say these truly considered they the Foxonian Quakers have manifested themselves as unjust and as great Offenders as this Justice they so exclaim against and their Proceedings as unchristian and deserving Punishment more than what they so complain of And if they be not Self-condemned
was by Trade a Taylor before for which he was punished And G. K. I find is represented a very ill Person because he takes notice of the Severity of the Punishment as from them who pretend to be Ministers of Christ but this Action shews their Spirit is not the same with the Apostles for they being defamed they entreated and did not Whip and Fine and take away their Goods as the Foxonian Preaching Quakers have done Also to magnifie their Sufferings in Print they fill their Books with many frivolous Stories as in their Cry of the Oppressed c. p. 19. They tell a Story of a rude Boy 's coming within their Meeting door when they were there and brake wind backward and said the Spirit moved him This is but a Windy Story to trouble the King and both Houses of Parliament with but by this and such like Stories as this they Print it may be judged what kind of Chronicles we shall have of their Sufferings hereafter and whether or no ought not some inspection to be made therein while Persons concerned are living But some of your way have done worse by and in some Parochial Churches calling them Bawdy-Houses or Whore-Houses as one now living knows this to be truth and that by one who was of higher Pretensions than a Boy Also some other unseemly carriages have been acted by some of you more offensive than breaking Wind backwards and that not by Boys but Persons of higher Pretensions But if these and giving a contemptible name to one of your Preachers were so hainous a Crime and deserved such severe Punishment also but by observing the severity or rigor that you used in Punishment be of so scandalous and dangerous as they represent G. K. because thereof and if the Lad deserved Punishment therefore by the same Rule ought your Printed Books which speak contemptuously of the Government of England accordingly be taken notice of and punished accordingly for they are more hurtful than Boys words and as England and the Government and Governours thereof have preference before Pensilvania so is the contempts of the Laws and Governours of England Offences of greater concernment And if it were such a great Crime in G. K. to take notice of this Severity in Punishing for speaking contemptuously of but one of them a Preacher they are guilty also who excuse and countenance these Printed Contempts as for that in pag. of their Contempt of our Lord's and the Apostles Sufferings and Magnifying their own Also in these against the Peers and Episcopacy as afore and more especially in their dooming all Estates and Degrees from the Throne to the Dunghil who pay receive or uphold Tithes for Antichrists and denyers of Christ These are on Record in Print and I am sure more scandalous to the Persons concerned and more dirty nasty and loathsom to good Protestants and English-men than to term a Man Prick-louse Taylor who was a Taylor although one of their Foxonian Preachers and Justices in Pensilvania for that affects but that one Person but theirs affects and reflects on the whole Nation in all the Estates of the Government and other foul-mouth'd printed Expressions of theirs here inserted of their foul-mouth'd Language of W. P. and G. F's of the Ministry of England in general and whether these the Fruits of these Foxonian Priests do not manifest them more like the grievous Wolves foretold than Christ's Sheep or Lambs Much more such loathsom dirty nasty stuff of theirs may be seen in a Book entituled The Quakers Unmasked c. And these arrogant Expressions being in their printed Books reflect on their whole Body until by some on their behalf testified against being Unchristian and Seditious Yet such is their Pride and Partiality that they will not or dare not disown what their Chief Priests have done but 24 of the Chief of them in London could Publish in the Weekly Intelligence Their disowning of D. S. a Christian Quaker because he honestly confessed as they all ought that G. F. and some others of their Chief Priests were blameable But let the Reader observe that honest Answer of D. S's to F. B. and their Errors here mentioned and judge whether they are not of a much more dangerous Consequence and scandalous to Protestantism in general than any thing of F. B. or D. S's and thereby it will appear that the Body of Foxonian Duakers especially those 26 in London are guilty of great Partiality and respecting Persons in the highest degree and thereby are great sinners and proved themselves false Witnesses in their fore-mentioned high boastings For I did but speak to a great Rabby and Teacher among them R. S. of some of these Errors who was so confident and offended that he challenged me to shew him one in all the Book and I being from my own where I had marked some knew not that I could find them then But his confidence put me on a stricter search into that Book viz. The Great Mystery of the Great Whore G. F's Spirit where I found abundance more than I mentioned and indeed is so wicked and false that it deserves to be burnt And I complained by Letter to three Eminent ones of them in London of some of these Errors and Evil Deeds I also wrote to another Eminent Preacher of them of my being dissatisfied in their countenancing the Errors of them in Pensilvania who opposed G. K. and persecured him but little notice they took All these considered and how they have in Print reviled that Christian Quaker D. S. not only disowning him as a Quaker but have reflected on his Credit in relation to his Employment by base Insinuations as they have done by me and several others who discover them as may be seen in Animadversions c. p. 10. 40. Also their Imprisoning Fining and taking away of Goods from G. K's Friends in Pensilvania and Presented Geo. Keith as guilty of Crimes which are Death by their La◠and had not the Power been taken from them it 's probable they would have 〈◊〉 him accordingly It 's the Chief Preachers among the Foxonian Quakers which are guilty of these wickednesses Reflecting on Persons and striking at Creatures as they say for these Actions of theirs affect the Persons as Creatures Hear then own Doctrine They say Thou that art reflecting on Persons thou art a false Prophet p. 237. Again say they To cause People to be put in Prison and have their Goods taken away such are disorderly Teachers p. 366. Again they say You are inwardly ravened who strike at Creatures p. 126. Behold how they have condemned themselves and are contrary to their own Doctrines as they are to the Apostles in their Defaming Indicting Imprisoning Fining and taking away Goods and out of their own Mouths are they proved Guilty in Matter of Fact as being False Prophets Conjurers and Diviners and inwardly ravened and are them our Lord commanded should not be gone after Therefore all that love our Lord Jesus
24. This was he whom the Disciples trusted in to Redeem Israel whom you contemn But whereas G. F. c. does here afore make the Light in every Man to be whole Christ as by their ascribing all the Offices and Names of our Lord Jesus to it making that the only Principle and admits of no other But yet contrary thereto says G. W. in his Book The Life of Christ c. p. 13. As to Christ's being in every Man that 's not our Affirmation nor Words But that there is a Light of Christ in every Man This I take to be sound Doctrine and if G. W. be sincere herein he opposes G. F. and they are not all of one mind as they falsly boast although they are generally guilty of that great Evil the Wise Man complains of even to advance the Servant and degrade the Master For in their treating on the Belief of what our Lord did and suffered without us also of the belief of the Light within they state the Case unequally and therein are unjust to the undervaluing of the true Faith in our Lord Jesus and give preference to the Light within in the Book entituled Truth 's Principles p. 11. my great Respect to that good Man whose Name is to it and the Truths therein caused me to omit the Book and Name in my former Discovery and I question whether this Passage be of his wording There may be say they a Belief of what Christ did and suffered without c. mind these words and the work of Regeneration not known c. But it may be the same also with a Belief of the Light within And I appeal to your own Consciences whether you do not believe it 's so now with many among you Therefore this Argument of yours is of as much force against the Light within as against the Faith in our Lord Jesus without us But now observe farther when they come to speak of the Light within in what advantageous terms to that they express themselves above what they do the Belief of our Lord Jesus without For say they in the same Book and Page It cannot be so the Work of Regeneration not known c. where the Light within is believed on and obeyed so as to have its perfect work in the Heart to Regenerate and make all things new Now I appeal to their Consciences whether or no if our Lord Jesus is so believed on and obeyed so as to have his perfect work in the heart to regenerate and make all things new whether this can be and the Work of Regeneration not known In the variation of their terms they have undervalued our Lord Jesus and the true Belief in him For they say a belief of Christ but of the Light they say believed on Now there is great difference between believed of and believing on but it 's not a bare belief of but true Faith in Jesus Christ that G. K. contends for and their Injustice and Partiality even in the Case betwixt our Lord Jesus of Nazareth and the Light within shews that they are not his Ministers nor is it his Gospel they Preach Do but compare St. Paul's Gospel of Salvation 1 Cor. 15. it's worth reading and theirs and you will find theirs is another and therefore as in 1 Gal. 8. is accursed and ought to be put out of the Christian Camp And although they say Christ and his Light are not divided yet here to serve their turn they can divide them for if they be not divided then they who Preach or believe in one do the same in the other also There is a silly Argument G. F. much makes use of to undervalue and contemn the Worth and Authority of the Scriptures viz. saith he p. 137. For the Pharisees crucified Christ had that which testified of Christ the Scriptures c. Now this Argument is of no more force against the Scriptures than it is against the Light in every Man which G. F. says is Christ for the Pharisees and wicked Men have that Light as well as the Scriptures and more universally for you say every Man in the World have that but few have the Scriptures in comparison But can you produce any since our Lord's Ascension who have come to Faith in him as Preach'd in the New Testament by the Power or Influence of that Light without some special Revelation or outward Instructions by Words or Writings We can find some that have been deprived of these outward means have lost that knowledge they had as the Ten Tribes Now having shewn their Contempt of our Lord Jesus Scriptures Governours and Laws and all Christendom besides themselves as in 2 Phil. This Man of 〈…〉 n their Spirit exalts it self above all that is called God See how Blasphemoussy a Preacher of theirs Deified Geo. Fox Says he Deare and presious one in whome my Life is bound up and my strenth in thee stands by thy breathings I am nurished and refreshed and by thee my strenth is renewed blessed art thou for evermore and blessed are all they that enjoy thee Life and strenth comes from thee holy One and thou art the blessed of the Lord for evermore deare deare reach unto me that I may be strenthened to stand in the mighty power and dread of the Lord for the Servise is very great my travel and burthen was never so as now since I saw thee But daily doe I find thy Presence with me which doth exceedingly preserve me for I cannot â—eane but in thy Presence and Power Pray for me that I may stand in thy dread for evermore Deare my deare Brother John Cam hath beene exceeding sicke and he is very weak I can say little of his recovering as yet his Wife is with him she is deare and preciously keepte their deare love is to thee oh reach through all in thy mighty power to him this bearer can declare to thee of the worke this way Jo Wilkinson and Jo Storey is here their love is dearly to thee deare harte there is one thinge that lies upon mee I shall lay it before thee as tuching thy comeing into Wilteshire I was there at Justice Stocks House and the Famaley is all prety loveing and convinced and he is a sober wise Man and there is honesty in him which will stand and there is a prety People that way it hath laid exceedingly upon me these 3 dayes of thy beeing at that place I know not such another place in all the Counterey for thee deare I was much wounded to know that thou was in such a rude place and sufers soe amongst them and this was I moved to lay before thee and great is my disere that it may be soe The place is about 20 mille from Bristoll in Wiltshire one mille from Chipenam a Market-Town Justice Stocks House Jo Cam tould me that the Justice he was with was very loveing and a prety man this bearer was there he can declare to thee more but oh that thou
because I do not cite his long side-long Quibbles And I have now another Book entituled The Perfect Pharisee c. and in pag. 1. where it 's said it was proposed to G. F. Whether he was equal with God In Answer thereto he G. F. positively affirmed I am equal with God Also in the same Page it 's said J. N. was asked Whether he believed any could be as Holy as God himself And he J. N. answered He did witness that he himself was as Holy as God Several other Errors are there charged on them which G. F. does not deny but over-looks them although they be in the beginning of the Book unto the 19th Page where he begins to take notice of some Impertinencies and so all along the Book being 51 Pages Also I have another Book entituled The Scornful Quaker c. where G. F. practises his old Trade of false Citing and Perverting as I shall shew in time but this is now to prove the Pride and Self-exaltedness of his Spirit One M. B. says of our Lord Jesus he knew our thoughts all our ways and who should betray him never the least Error-nor deceived c. Much more he says in three or four Pages how far our Lord Jesus excelled all Saints and they inferiour to him in Knowledge and Infallibility But he M. B. does allow the Saints do partake of the Nature and Fulness of God p. 92. But saith he They are not the Father nor the Godhead in fulness nor in part Yet G. F. is so wicked in his 89 Page to say in Answer to this Thou sayest they Saints have no part of the fulness of God quite contrary to what the Man says Here is an Untruth and a false Accusation and Perversion and false Quotation in these few words and yet this Spirit that is thus grossly wicked in him the Foxonian High-Priest W. Penn says he excels them all and nothing less than being equal with God and as he is in this World will satisfie this Self-exalted Spirit but as I have said before so I say again this Spirit could not be the Spirit of Truth our Lord promised the Disciples he would send because it 's so wicked and untrue therefore is Antichrist But to return to this good humble Christian M. B. After he had shewed how our Lord surpassed any Saint yet he allows that they partake of his fulness in measure c. But this would not serve G. F. because he M. B. says Our knowledge of others is by Observation or by Fruits or by special Revelation c. We know not the way of God in their Spirits until it be written on their foreheads and so says he are not as Christ in that respect And again says M. B. But the Quaker is bolder than all his fore-fathers he knows a Man as soon as ever he sees him or whether he be a Saint or a Devil though the Man discover not himself by word or action yet the Quaker knows him and all that he may be as Christ is Much of this G. F. quotes although not truly in his 89 Page and in Answer says to this M. B. Here thou hast shewn that the Quakers have a Spirit given to them beyond all the fore-fathers which we do witness since the days of the Apostles in the Apostacy and they Quakers can discern who be Saints and who are Devils without speaking ever a word And in pag. 31. says G. F. Are upon the Throne And then farther says G. F. As Christ is so are we in this present World and these words are not put in a different Character for Scripture And then farther on says G. F. Thou art an ignorant Man not knowing the condition they People be in unless they tell thee Observe G. F. cites this M. B's words as an Error because he M. B. said We are not as Christ is in this respect and does banter this good humble Christian M. B. for so saying and in opposition to M. B. says As he is so are we c. All this plainly proves G. F. did claim himself and wicked Spirit to be Infallible in Knowledge and as Christ is in that respect and not only that God's Spirit was so for that was not denyed but that himself and the Quakers was so as further appears comparing this with p. 5 10 11. in his opposing W. T. and R. F. when he G. F. so Luciferian-like assumes to himself and his wicked Spirit Infallibility he with both the same Persons is guilty of false Citing false Accusing Perversion and Lyes And it is not as G. W. in his Charitable Essay c. p. 6. by his wicked Quibbles would insinuate as if G. F. intended to know Peoples states only by their proud and lofty Looks wanton scornful envious and fallen Countenances which testifie against them saith G. W. But I am into this wilful wickedness of his will testifie against him for his Conscience knows better because this M. B. did allow and say p. 93. Our knowledge of others is by Observation Fruit and appearance of Things in the outward Man or by special Revelation from God Otherwise says M. B. all other mens Spirits are in the dark to us Here it 's plain this M. B. allows as much as G. W. by his Quibbles would make believe G. F. claimed But this would not content G. F. nothing less than being as Christ is in this respect of knowing mens inward conditions without discovery by word or action for that which G. W. pretends to by Looks or Actions is a sort of telling but saith G. F. Thou art an ignorant Man not knowing the condition they be in unless they tell thee And also G. F. opposes M. B's saying the Saints are not the Father they are not the Godhead neither in fulness nor part although this M. B. do allow they partake of the Nature and Fulness of God And for further Proof of G. F's assuming Infallibility in pag. 5. he says S. E. says That which is within them is not Eternal and Infallible c. Now in pag. 31. S. E. Although all the Saints have the Spirit of Christ dwelling in them which is Eternal and Infallible c. Now here is a gross Slander G. F. Prints against this Man quite contrary to his express words and this proves him and his Spirit wicked and fallible and a deluder of the People Therefore what heed or Credit can be given to these mens Printed Books that dare now Print such gross Slanders and Lyes What may not they Print hereafter when these Persons and their Books be extinct For most that are wrote against them are sticht Pamphlets now they re-print theirs in Volumes and so preserve them to Posterity to defame this Generation and their Religion and thereby exalt themselves and their Errors And as I said before S. E. did not deny they had the Infallible Spirit in them but owns it but does deny that that Spirit should do and say all that Saints
Antidote pag. 32. The same Jesus that is in our Nature in that Body then and there prepared for him set down in Heaven even he that Person that is Personally absent from Believers is dwelling in their hearts by Faith of and in him This G. F. quotes as an Error and says in Opposition to him But the Saints in the Light receive Christ the hope of Glory and so he is not absent from them p. 135. Now although T. M. does own Christ in them by Faith yet that will not serve G. F. but he opposes T. M's saying That Person that is Personally absent c. And in Opposition says G. F. So he is not absent from them and therefore this implies he G. F. owned no other Personal Jesus but that is in him and did intend and mean hereby to contemn and undervalue our Lord Jesus of Nazareth his Sufferings without us for can he dwell in their Hearts by Faith and not be revealed within them and it was not his being revealed within would satisfie G. F. who not only opposes the Truth but in citing T. M's words in his 135 pag. does by him there as his usual manner was he here also leaves out and adds and of forty words takes but eight and adds the word Christ and cutting the Sentence in two leaves out the most material words and takes a few out of the middle of the Sentence Now from all these judge ye who is wicked T. C. in forgetting an insignificant Parenthesis and and or G. F. in thus wickedly abusing mangling perverting adding and diminishing mens words falsly accusing and belying them and these Foxonian Chief Priests in excusing and covering his Errors And who most deserves the Pillory T. C. or they who Forge and Print false Accusations against T. C. to defame him and cover their own wickedness And in my former Discovery c. I cited G. F. saying pag. 131. All be in the Fancy that he out of the state of Witnessing Christ that suffered within them Now G. F. hath the word and at the beginning of this Sentence which I left out as useless and the Parenthesis I over-looked but neither of them are of stress nor did I leave them out to wrong his sense nor did I make any Observations on those words only cited them but these Foxonian Chief Priests take great occasion against me therefrom and say It 's very unfair if designed and nothing less than my Plea of Ignorance or want of Understanding will excuse â—e with them from being therein guilty of great wickedness This is already spoken to pag. 18 but now having T. M's Book before me in Answer to whom those aforesaid words of G. F's be who in his 131 pag. brings in T. M. thus saying And the Righteousness of God wrought by Christ for us which need not be wrought over again in us And then G. F. Answers Whosoever hath not Christ within are Reprobates and whosoever hath Christ within hath the Righteousness Now here G. F. does endeavour falsly to represent T. M. as opposing Christ or his Righteousness being within the Saints which T. M. doth not as I shall shew He T. M. doth say in the next leaf pag. 61. So that though they Preach the same Jesus that is in them and in and to them being received by Faith the hope of glory c. Now hereby it 's evident T. M. did not oppose or deny Christ being in them as G. F. falsly represents him and so by his Answer opposes his own Imagination and proves himself a Perverter But that 's not all he is guilty of much worse wickedness in this very place than that they make me so wicked for for T.
