In a reply to a book, set forth by an un-named author, under pretence of an answer to thirty six queries, propounded by James Parnell, whom he in scorn calls, the young Quaker. And also an answer to severall counter-queries, propounded by the same unnamed authour, whom I understand to be one Thomas Draton, a teacher of the world, at Abbey Rippon, in Huntingtonshire, ... and also he that takes his part, who writes himself W.P. who knowes not the power of God, and therefore glories in the length of time, and the multitude of years. ... / Given forth from the spirit of the Lord in the behalf of Israel against the armies of the aliens, who muster up themselves against the Lord, and his authority: by a friend to the common-wealth of Israel, who is known to the world, by the name James Parnel.

GOLIAHS HEAD Cut off with his own Sword In a Combat betwixt little David The young Stripling who stands in the power and strength of his God and great Goliah the proud Boaster who stands in his own strength glorifying in the arm of flesh and contemning and despising little David because of his youth In a Reply to a Book set forth by an un-named Author under pretence of an Answer to thirty six Queries propounded by James Parnell whom he in scorn calls the young Quaker And also an Answer to severall Counter-Queries propounded by the same unnamed Authour whom I understand to be one Thomas Draton A Teacher of the World at Abbey Rippon in Huntingtonshire wherein his folly and ignorance is much layd open and the pride and deceipt of his spirit much manifested And also he that takes his part who writes himself W. P. who knowes not the power of God and therefore glories in the Length of time and the multitude of years But Solomon who was a wiser man then great Goliah said that the honourable age is not that which is of long time neither that which is measured by the Number of years but wisdom is the gray hair and an undefiled life is old Age. And therefore let not the wise man glory in his wisdom nor the strong man glory in his strength for it is vanity Given forth from the spirit of the Lord in the behalf of Israel against the Armies of the Aliens who muster up themselves against the Lord and his Authority by a friend to the Common-wealth of Israel who is known to the World by the name James Parnel Who is a sufferer in outward bonds for the testimony of the everlasting truth in Colchester Castle 1655. London Printed for Giles Calvert at the Black-spread-Eagle at the West end of Pauls 1655. The Title of the aforesaid Book An Answer according to truth that trembles not nor quakes nor quaileth given to thirty six Queries propounded by James Parnell commonly called the young Quaker to an ancient Country Minister with some Counter-Queries by the said Minister unto the said young Quack and his fellows HEre thou mayst be ashamed to stile thy selfe an ancient Minister Reply Heb. 12.21 Jer. 23.9 Job 4.14 Ezek. 12.10 who manifests such an Ishmaels spirit who with reproachfull words makes a scoffe at the power of truth which the Ministers of God in all ages witnessed which made them to quake and tremble And though the truth neither quake nor quaileth yet all that owned the truth owned and witnessed quaking and trembling which truth thou manifests thy selfe but a professor of and a stranger to the power and a despiser thereof and therefore out from among the Ministers of Christ thou art raised Eccles 12.3 And thy Answer is not according to truth but a Lie as shall further be made to appear hereafter by him whom thou calls the young Quack and it seems fear surpriseth the heart of the Hypocrite P F. 22.14 15. Priest so that thou art ashamed to own thy work with thy name And whereas thou sayst Courteous Reader we are forced notwithstanding so many Pāphlets extant against the people called Quakers to give answer to thirty six Queries of James Parnells the young Quaker Although thou hast boasted thy selfe an ancient Minister Rep. and contemns me as a young Boy yet here it appears that thou art glad of others to help thee to answer my Queries as these words before mentioned doth testifie And yet it is but a Pamphlet as thou and thy helpers do confess that those many are that are extant against the people called Quakers And then thou run on in way of reproach and scorn against me because of my youth but the wisdom of Solomon answereth you That a poor and wise Child is better then an old foolish King who will no more be admonished Eccles 4.13 And therefore when you think of your age consider also your folly and let that stop your mouthes from professing your selves Ancients who manifests such a Light scornful spirit and hates to be reformed And whereas thou sayst thou doubtest not Priest but his Queries are the dictates of others deceiving and being deceived which they yet put under the Boyes name for the Credit of their cause Here also without doubt Rep. thy unbelieving heart is manifested who without ground measurest others according to thine own heart who because thou makest use of the dictates of others as here doth plainly appear therefore censurest others which doth not adde credit to thy cause because thou boasts of thy age But according as thou believes Priest so be it to thee yet nevertheless thou shalt finde that the truth I shall maintain against thee who with thy unbelieving heart art deceiving and being deceived and then thou runs on in the pride of thy spirit accusing of me to be ignorant of the truth of God because as thou sayst Priest of the false wording of my Queries But with shame might thou speak it Rep. for openly hast thou manifested to the understanding Reader thy selfe to be a meer stranger both to God and his truth also who would limit the truth of God to a humane art which many of the Children of God had not Act. 4.13 and therefore the power of God was the more manifested And when Peter and John was brought before the learned men to wit the chief Priests and the Rulers and they wondered at them because they perceived they was unlearned men and thus with thy wisdom and thy great learning thou art shut out of the truth in the naturall but by this I do not own thy accusation to be truth against me for I have a Copy of the Queries of my own hand writing which was the originall of those that was sent to thee which will bear testimony against thee to be a false accuser and how thou thy selfe hast wronged them and misworded them because they was in the crosse unto thy wisdom And to maintain this thou bringest a story in Erasmus nevertheless the story which thou bringest doth not at all touch me but may fitly be returned into thy new bosom where it shall lie Then thou and thy Agent beseeches the Reader to read without partiality which if he do he will judge no otherwise of you then as I have declared but will see how you have uttered forth your folly and foamed out your shame in going about to contradict the truth And at the end of this your Epistle to the Reader I finde W. P. which I judge to be one of thy Agents to this your shamefull work to which thou darst not own thy name My first Querie Where 1 Qu P An. and how and by what wast thou called to the Ministry which thou professest And in thy answer to this Querie thou goest about to plead many excuses whereby to fly the answering of my Queries saying it is easier for him that is yet in
