would with the D●v●● 〈…〉 God and Christ the Spirit and Light ou● of the World and that he should no more dwell in his people till dooms-day but it is plain to the flat contrary That T. M. in that his book out of which he is charged saith in page 39. That the Majesty of God whose Throne is in Heaven is in his Inspections Influences and Operations everywhere and in his gracious and spiritual Presence and manifested nighness in and through his Son dwelling in Sion even in the hearts and societies of his people Now note doth Tho. Moor exclude God and Christ Spirit and Light out of the World and out of his people while dooms-day D●●h not T. M. affirm directly That God in his spiritual Influences is everywhere in the World and by his Spirit dwelling even in the hearts and societies of his people what can we think of these desperate attempts of J.N. against the truth But he must needs go whom the Devil for just causes is appointed to drive and these are but a little sample taken out of his manifold detestable lyes and slanders And again to shew how expresly James Nayler doth prove himself to be a falsifier of Scripture to give but a little Sample of his ample falseness Note That James Nayler in his Satan's Design in pages 20 21. he there speaking of our Saviour's words which he spake to his Disciples James thereto saith He told them also That they should mourn in the time of his absence but he would come again and their mourning should be turned into joy when the man-childe should be born into the world and he citeth to prove these his words Act. 14.8 Joh. 16.19 20 21 22. Joh. 16.16 But there is not in any of them places these his forged words That their mourning should be turned into joy when the man-child should be born into the world though our Saviour shewed them an inferiour simile of that their joy at his appearing again unto them by telling them of a womans joy when she is delivered of a man-child which word man-child as it appears fumeth up into the Quakers distempered brains and causes them to conceit That Christ a Man-child is appeared in them for they do affirm That Christ God and Man Flesh and Spirit is in them I could relate divers of these whimsical forgeries which James hath recorded in his Satan's Design discovered but these are sufficient to give a true rellish of his wickedness for besides his equivocating hypocrisie here are his own three witnesses produced to his face one proving that he is a notorious lyer the second shewing that he is a foul-mouthed envious slanderer and another proving that he is a forger of new and false Scripture all which are his presumptuous sins of his personal fact though his false Doctrine be not at all medled with for a threefold cord is not easily broken And now behold the condemning sentence that James Nayler himself hath passed upon such sinners as he hath proved himself to be which is thus where James Nayler is speaking of Christ Jesus in his book he calls Love to the Lost he saith But who says they know Christ and are redeemed and commits sin not keeping his commands is a lyer and so abides not in the Truth and anoynting and so is of the Devil and not of Christ for he that abides in Christ sins not These be thy words James Nayler but now James take notice how the Devil hath over-ruled thee to publish thine own shame and condemnation in print whereby thou hast rendered up the Quakers and also Quakery it self odious to present and future posterity and first for thy self Iames thou dost pretend in thy tenents That thou dost know Christ and art redeemed and yet thou hast made it appear even against all contradiction whatsoever that thou dost commit notorious sins and so thou dost not keep his commands nor dost abide in Christ for thou sayest that he that abides in Christ sins not but thou James hast made thy sins of thy personal act and fact manifest therefore by thy own mouth thou dost stand condemned to be a lyer and so art of the Devil and not of Christ and considering that you Quakers do refuse the imputation of Christ's righteousness wrought without you to be applied to you as being sinners for your justification Thy judgement is true James that thou art of the Devil and not of Christ and this thy self-condemning law being by thee recorded in print it must stand firm as the Law of the Medes and Persians to remain as an established monument to posterity testifying against wicked James Nayler himself and also against all such Quakers which are found to be sinners And now under my Lord Christ his protection I will try how many such wicked Quakers I can finde out by name not exceeding an ordinary volume for it appears that not onely James Nayler's Law will condemn them all to be of the Devil and not of Christ but also God's Law Exod. 20.16 doth condemn not onely James Nayler but also all such lying slandering Quakers as he hath made himself appear to be for God's Law saith Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbour but James Nayler doth even upon his own record bear false witness not onely against man but also against God by his forging new and false Scripture Thus James Nayler hath set himself by a condemned man both by God's and his own Law And now beloved we are to take special notice hereto that James Nayler hath established the grounded Principles of Quakery largely in twenty four several Distinctions in the very self-same book which he calls Love to the Lost in which self-same book he hath firmly proved himself the Teacher of Quakery to be a lyer and of the Devil and not of Christ even at that time when he declared in print the Grounds and Principles of Quakery And this being well considered of what hope or expectation can there be in the least measure that any Doctrine can proceed from him that hath so firmly proved himself to be a lyer and of the Devil and not of Christ even at the same time and in the very same book wherein he teacheth the grounded Principles of Quakery but devilish Doctrine I say again what Doctrine can any manner of ways be expected to proceed from such a self-proved devilishfied man then devilish Doctrine And note also herewith That the same Principles of Quakery which James Nayler taught even when he proved himself to be a lyer and no abider in the truth and so is of the devil and not of Christ are received and taught by all right Quakers as if they were divine Oracles of God All which also proveth clearly against all contradiction That if the Quakers possibly could and would forsake their Practice in personal sins yet if they do not also therewith totally forsake their Doctrine of Quakery which is before proved to flow forth of a devilish

Fountain they will remain under the condemnation of God's Law because though they be sinners yet do desperately refuse the grace of Gospel-imputation and also the condemnation of James Nayler's Law fastneth on them that they abide not in the truth but are of the Devil and not of Christ And I shall prove That the Quakers do desperately refuse all Imputation when I come to discourse with the ten Quakers together But James Nayler a word or two more with thee and that is to shew thee how thy deluding Master to make sure work hath led thee to affirm That thy Quakers Christ is no Christ for thou being asked as in the 25 pag. of Saul's Errand Whether Christ as Man is in thee or no thou thereto didst answer saying Christ is not divided for if he be he is no more Christ but saidst thou I witness that Christ in me who is God and Man in measure These be thy words James and herein is much to be observed That by his affirming that Christ is not divided for if he be he is no more Christ and by his saying in full effect That Christ not onely as he is God but also as he is man is in him but in measure which is That Christ God and Man is but in part in him then the other part of Christ must needs be without him for he by his words denieth that whole Christ God and Man is in him and if he should not deny that then how would all the rest of the Quakers do to have their measure or parts of Christ God and Man also in them for if James Nayler had swallowed up whole Christ God and also Man then he would have left all the rest of his brethren and sister Quakers in a lamentable condition they having no measure or part of Christ God and also Man in them because Iames Nayler had devoured him all up But you see that Iames is more temperate then so for he doth acknowledge that there is but a measure or part of Christ God and Man in him and thereby he leaves out the other part or measure of Christ God and also Man to be without him for the other Quakers to divide amongst them Is not this a great kindeness of Iames ●hink you But thus Iames by thy affirming that Christ is not divided for sayest thou if he be he is no more Christ and by thy dividing of Christ by measure thou hereby affirmest in full effect That thy pretended Christ in thee is no Christ but a Satanical deluding Spirit in thee and truely in this sense I shall believe thee And thus your quaking imagined Christ whom you would fain have stand for a figure or example onely is by thee Iames turned into a naked cypher o signifying nothing or according to thy words no Christ or worse for wickedness is worse then nothing And now dost thou not see Iames how thy Spirit in thee doth over-rule thee to confute thy self in a few words speaking therefore remember this Iames for afterwards That he had need of a good memory that loves to tell lyes For know all ye Quakers That Christ's spiritualized and glorified Person of real flesh and bone cannot be a measure or part thereof in one man and the other parts of his real Person of flesh and bone in other men as you falsly imply though by his spiritual influences he is in all his Saints and you shall finde it so at last if you persist in your quakery THIRDLY Concerning Iames Milner I find upon record in a book written by Iohn Gilpin who was formerly for a time a Quaker during which time he declareth the extraordinary strange powerful and manifold delusions which the devil did act upon him in him but he being by Gods mercy delivered he giveth God thanks in that book for his deliverance from the Devil and the Quakers The book is intituled Quakers shaken printed in anno 1655. In which book he relateth That Iames Milner Quaker told the people that flocked to his house that he had fasted fourteen days and nights and that he must fast two dayes more for the saving of two souls to wit Dorothy Barwick and the Wise of Brian Fell of Ulverstone and he was so extreamly deluded by the Devil that he pretended himself to be a Christ and he said he must suffer as Christ did viz. to save the souls of the two women aforesaid And in a juggling inchanting manner with a knife and a bason he pretended his blood was shed and Milner said he gave up the Ghost as Christ did he said he was Abraham and Adam and his wife was Eve and that George Fox should be Iohn Baptist and he it was to wit Milner the false Christ that should come after whose shooe-latchet Fox was not worthy to unloose Milner also prophecied twelve strange Prophecies and set so short a time for the performance of them all that they were all proved to be false in a short time O monstrous what mad frantick fasting-fits were these But the Quakers fasting need not seem strange for it is evident the Devil did feed a great many of witches being the Quakers neighbors in Lancashire with inchanted dainty food not substantial in an old Barn not far from Bourule Now do not you Quakers perceive how the Devil rides you as Balaam rid his Ass when he would have done those things which God did not allow of Bear with me for I have the example of the great and holy Prophet Elijah which he used to Baal's Prophets in 1 Kings 18.27 And God in mercy hath enabled me to see that you are to be reckoned with them And Iames Milner by thy Luciferian pride to save souls as Christ did and by thy manifold great prophetical lyes thou must come under the lash of thy brother Quaker Iames Nayler's condemning Law aforesaid That thou art of the Devil and not of Christ FOURTHLY I do turn my pen to discourse a little with Christopher Atkinson Iames Lancaster George Whitehead and Thomas Simmonds four principal Quakers because I finde them in a junctual book by them called Ishmael and his Mother cast out more open-heartedly revealing their maliciousness against the Holy Trinity then some other Quakers have done But first Christopher Atkinson a word or two with thee alone Art thou straggled from Kendal in Westmoreland to Norwich in Norfolk I do verily believe that thou art the very same Christopher Atkinson which didst preach thy Quakery at Richard Collisons house at Kendal in May anno 1653. At whose preaching of Quakery the Devil himself did get such fast hold on Iohn Gilpin lately mentioned by his leaning to be instructed in thy deluding Quakery by thee then and there taught as appears in Iohn Gilpins book mentioned in my last or third Discourse But now joyning him to his other three Companions I shall proceed Their words are these directed in their 10th page to their Opposer Mr. Townsend then a Minister in Norwich And

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
