Reprove him who at last ran into Swearing and Drunkenness yet R.R. queries Whether those were not the Floods of the Dragon cast out of his Mouth to Devour the Manchild that must Rule We say Nay for he that ran into Swearing and Drunkenness vvas not like unto the Manchild that must Rule And R.R. has manifest a great deal of Maliciousness and Enmity in his Papers which is not according to the Government of Love as he speaks of And R.R. saith Why should G.F. be Angry at I. Perrot's Velvet Coat and wearing a Sword and for his Gunns and Carnal Weapons But I.P. pretended to go and preach the Gospel when he went to Barbadoes and Virginia not to get Gunns and Swords and a Velvet Coat and a Staff tipt with Gold c. and so he chang'd from his Gospel as he deceitfully pretended to And it is utterly false both in R.R. and I.P. that G. F's Name was to any Papers for naming of Sober Iustices in the other Powers dayes that would not Persecute us For G.F. was out of London when the Parliament desired such a thing of Friends and never was his Name to any such Papers These are Forgeries of R.R. and I. P's And those Ten Thousand and Fifteen Thousands Hands presented to the Parliament were the Sufferings of Friends which R.R. prints and makes an Ill Construction of And as for I. Harwood he hath manifested his End sufficiently who Opposed Friends with his Hat on in Prayer and manifested his Bad Life Ranter-like as I. Perrot did Again R.R. sayes Seven of G. F's Friends were chosen for a Committee c. G.F. knows nothing of that therefore he was not like to Exalt himself in that And G.F. does not meddle with the Carnal Sword of the Civil Magistrate In these things R.R. hath belied G.F. and Friends besides many other Scoffing and Reproachful Words which are not worth mentioning are in his Book And he sayes scoffingly What is the Name Quaker thou givest to thy self R. Rich knew it is a Scornful Nick-Name given unto us And Thee and Thou is the true Language which he makes a pudder about and he himself did once use it And Swearing I.P. I.H. and R.R. once denyed it but R.R. makes little of it now And also I.P. did not he Swear and tender the Oath to others at Iamaica which G.F. and other Quakers alwayes denyed And Christ and the Apostles forbid All Swearing But Verily Verily and Calling God to record as R.R. speaks of is no Swearing And the Quakers Sufferings are not as other Sects as R.R. scoffingly speaks And what have been the Forms and Figures of Good Things to come among the Quakers that thou speakest of And over and over R.R. sayes That G.F. exercised his Cruelty over J. Perrot and I. Nailor which is false the Lord knows for he had nothing in his Heart but for their Good and I.N. hath confest it and given forth a Recantation of all his Runnings out which R. Rich did feed upon And I.N. never bowed down to G.F. its a horrid Lye for R.R. to say he did p. 37. neither did he ever desire it So we are sorry that R.R. should dye before he had Repented of his Lyes So as for Arrogancy Pope Lucifer c. are these R. R's Words of Love as he calls it And these words he had better applyed to himself Further R.R. sayes The Lord found him in Innocency wherewith he had clothed him But his Fruits in his Book from his Lying Spirit have not manifested it neither are they the Fruits of a New Heart as he speaks of in his Epistle printed 1680. but the Fruits of a Railing Spirit against G.F. and others As for Enmity Self exaltation Division Rending Tearing and Bitter Wrathful Envious and Persecuting Spirits with such like words he rails against G.F. and others they were but the Fruits of his own Spirit which he casts upon G.F. and others And R.R. saith That J.N. was led into the Wilderness to be Tryed and Tempted by G.F. and others This was horrible Enmity and Malice in R.R. for 't is well known that G.F. was in Prison in Cornwall when I.N. run out And R.R. sayes Epist. pag. 4. The great Offence that G.F. takes at Iohn Perrot's Book is That I.P. own'd the Spirit of God's Grace and Light to be in the Presbyterians Independents Anabaptists Seekers and others and also that he hath Unity and Amity with all that walk therein We are sorry that R.R. should Belye G.F. and others for it is known that G.F. and others own the true Light and declare it which enlightens every man that cometh into the World and haeve Unity with them that walk in it yea have Unity with the Light in them that hate it But it s known that these before-mentioned have Printed against Friends and both Anabaptists Presbyterians and Independents have called the Light which enlightens every man that comes into the World a Natural Light And so its clear that R.R. Belyed G.F. and Friends And many other Books R.R. has given forth against the People of God called Quakers which are stufft with known Lyes Scoffs and Slanders which are not worth mentioning for he was well enough known what he vvas in his-Lifetime Another writes against the People called Quakers calling himself Phil. Ang. who sayes A man c. his Strength is to sit still deny himself and his own Life too or else he cannot be Christ's Disciple But he should have taken his Advice to himself then he would not have brought forth his Confused Work He makes a great pudder against Images Forms and Shadows which Delude men but has not told us what those Images Forms and Shadows are And he tells of Peoples pinning their Faith upon other mens Sleeves and boasting of things without their measure If he applies this to the Quakers he is deceived for Christ is the Author of our Faith for our Faith stands in God and Christ but he does not declare his own Faith nor what it is pinn'd upon And the Fruits of his Book are not the Fruits of the true Light nor doth he manifest that he stands in it or that he is one that feareth and trembleth at the Word of God For he saith Let Men and all the Womanly Weakness in Man Decrease c. If the Author of this Epistle had done so then his own Mouth would have been stopt if he had taken that Counsel to himself then he would not have manifest his Weakness Enmity and Folly to the World And there is another Book printed by Ieffery Bullock or some body for him with his Epistle to it wherein are published the Papers that some Friends writ to Iohn Wilkinson and Iohn Story with their Answers And I.B. writes a railing Epistle to those Friends wherein he justifies I.S. and I.W. Some of his Railing Words are viz. Antichrist's Teachers called Quakers c. and saith Iudge not and ye shall not be judged yet in Contradiction to himself he
