Thomas Crisp's ENVY DETECTED AND FOLLY MANIFESTED Herein and the Addition following by R.R. BEING AN ANSWER To his BOOK Entituled The FOURTH PART of Babel's c Prov. 27.22 Though thou should bray a Fool in a Mortar among Wheat with a Pestil yet will not his foolishness depart from him Verse 4. Wrath is cruel and Anger is out-ragious but who is able to stand against Envy Psalm 11.2 Lo the wicked bend their Bow they make ready their Arrow upon their string that they may privily shoot at the upright in heart But Behold the Eye of the Lord is upon them that fear him upon them that hope in his mercy to deliver their Soul from Death and to keep them alive in Famine By one that according to his measure prays for the peace of Jerusalem and prosperity of Sion which God is making the beauty of Holiness and praise of the whole Earth notwithstanding the Rage of all her Enemies and fury of her Adversaries By J. F. Junior London Printed for Benjamin-Clark in George-Yard in Lombard-street Bookseller 1682. Thomas Crisp's Envy Detected and Folly Manifested herein and the Addition following by R. R. being an Answer to his Book Entituled The Fourth Part of Babel 's c. UPon the 20th of the First Month 1681 2. I received from Thomas Crisp's hand a Book entituled The Fourth Part of Babel's Builders c. which he told me I was concerned in which upon perusal I find my name or the Letters for it is mentioned near thirty times And I therein termed and charged by him several times to be a false Witness and with grand falshood and called Inquisition Officer and such like All which Reproaches I might and willingly could bear and forbear thus to mention and Rejoyce that the Lord hath counted me worthy to be of that little number or Remnant which are Reproached for the name of Christ knowing that the Spirit of Glory and of God resteth upon such And they and I have indeed cause to rejoyce c. as Christ Exhorted it being falsly spoken though this was of old the Lot or portion of several of God's Servants and also of his People for remember David said Psal 102.8 Mine Enemies Reproach me all the day and they that are mad against me are Sworn against me And did not Rabshakeh reproach Israel in daies past and yet said The Lord said to me go up against this Land and destroy it And for my part I shall leave it to the manifestation of God's Spirit in every ones heart thereby to judge whether or no the same Spirit that led Rabshakeh so to Reproach Israel and the living God hath not entred Thomas Crisp and his Adherents and Abettors though they may as Rabshakeh say or pretend its the Lord and it 's his Cause they stand for and it s his Rule and Government in the Conscience they would Exalt but blessed be God in and by the blessed and divine Light of Christ Jesus which a Remnant was first turned to in which they have believed and have fellowship with God and oue another they clearly see that it 's not his Government viz. Christ's c. that they would Exalt notwithstanding their pretences but the Rule and Government of him who Rules in the Hearts of the Children of Disobedience whose unfruitful Works of Darkness they are bringing forth though they Nick-name them and would put off their corrupt dross for pure Gold guilding it over with a few fair words and fine Specches by which they would delude and deceive the hearts of the simple but blessed be God who hath so preserved a Remnant in his fear that from him they have receiv'd Wisdom and thereby are taught not to buy or receive though offered any of these mens corrupt Wares and false Doctrines and I believe the time hastens in which they like their Brethren of old shall because no man buyeth her Merchandize any more weep and mourn over their Mother Mystery Babilon the Mother of Harlots and abominations of the Earth that had as fair pretences and as guilded a Cup and as highly conceited of her Seat as T. C. and his Company are of theirs and if they Repent not I question not but they shall as surely be Judged plagued and tormented as she was For strong is the Lord that Judgeth her Now the Paper out of which he Collects what he takes occasion to charge me with falshood and being a false Witness and draws his Conclusion from that I am not a Minister of Christ is a Paper which I had set down his Doctrine in and to that had as in that which was Printed in S. Crisp's Book set my name as a Witness in which Paper was these words he so charges upon me and mentions so often in his Book I therefore thought meet here to set down a Copy of it which he calls in his 18 page J. F 's Bull of Excommunication against me but why he calls it J. F's he hath not told It is as followeth Viz. Several years since as it doth and may appear by our Monthly-Meeting Book Thomas Crisp and his Wife in the tender Love of God were visited by Friends in order to bring them unto a Sence of the Evil they had done in being Marryed by a Priest for which there is no president nor Example in the holy Scriptures of Truth for about * * It 's thought it was 11 Mo ths in the other but if so it 's a mistake 7 Months and his Wife did give in a paper into Friends wherein she Condemns that practice or thing and the Spirit that led her thereunto c. But her Husband did not come so far as to Condemn it notwithstanding Friends visits from time to time when they were all Clear left visiting of him and be remained and hath and doth unto this day a man out of the Vnity of Friends whose Vnity and fellowship stands in that Eternal Spirit which leads all them that are faithfull thereunto to be all of one mind and to speak the same thing and by the same Spirit a remnant are joyned together in the same mind and in the same Judgment among whom there is no division and these with the one mind and mouth glorify God and Serve him even the father of our Lord Jesus Christ with one mind and one accord c. And have no Vnity with Thomas Crisp nor his Doctrine which is as followeth The 8th of the 9 month 1681. Thomas Crisp said that he had lately payed Tythes and that the Spirit of God did or might allow him to pay Tythes or Marry by a Preist And that by the same Spirit of God another might be required not to pay them or not do the same things This Thomas Crisp spoke the day and year aboue said And Consented to have it Writt and printed and took a Coppy of the aforesaid words Witness John Feild Junior And now I shall take some notice what T. C. saith in his 4th part of

and Power of God and yet be out of and Enimies to the same but we know and therefore say that they that walk in the Light Spirit Grace and power of God the same gives them a good understanding and accordingly leads them in their Doctrine life and Conversation into a sound Christian form and order for as the Apostle said God is the God of order and not of Confusion in all the Churches of the Saints Page 20 T.C. saith And for J.F. to say their Vnity stands in the Eternal Spirit it is false for it is manifest to be in forms and needless Ceremonies for such as Conform and preach them up have been and are guilty of shameful Miscarriages and yet they are Suffered to continue as Preachers and no Judgment or Excommunication against them as out of Vnity and they have received what they have given and Spent on them of others Estates and not from the Vniver sal Spirit of God Note This I Charge upon T. C. as a grand and fivefold untruth or Lye until he proves it which I am well Satisfied he never can though he would by this and such like ungodly unchristian and abominable falshood begett jealousies in the mind of some against them that God hath raised up to publish his Truth and that sreely give up to spend and be spent in the Service of it and seek not any earthly thing but the glory of God and Exaitation of his Truth according to their several measures and gifts and have a Testimony from God in their hearts against that lying Spirit that hath entred him and his Abettors which if he and they Repent not of the plagues and Judgments of the Lords will certainly be their portion to all Eternity for no Lyar can enter the Kingdom of God For the Lake that burns with Fire and Brimstone which is the second Death is their portion Oh! that God may if it be his Will give T.C. and them a Heart to Repent before it 's too late In T. C's Postscript he saith Also that grand falshood of J. Feild's asserted in his Bull of disowning me c. Note Disowning thee for my part I have known thee some years but never knew thou wast owned by Friends or the People called Quakers or was one of them for I never so looked upon thee I am sure T. C. also in his Postseript speaks concerning the use of the word Company And saith Although the same used by G.F.J. Feild S. Ecdes c. are Guilty of Note J. Feild denysthat there is any such word viz. as Company in that he writ And charges it upon thee among the many untruths that thou hast writ concerning him and Friends some and but some of which he hath here set down I shall now say little more to this Babel Builder but set down the words of the paper which he calls mine and hath help't to fill his book with which he omitted and shew how he hath perverted them to make them speak to his mind and Answer his corrupt end and vain Conceit the words he left out are these viz. Which leads all them that are faithful thereunto to be Now Read what he hath so often mentioned with these words to them as they were in that paper And it s thus Friends unity and fellowship stands in that Etemal Spirit which leads all them that are faithful thereunto to be all of one mind and to speake the same thing and by the same Spirit a remnant are Joyned together in the same mind and in the same Judgment among whom there is no Division and these with the one mind and mouth glorify God and serve him even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ with one mind and one accord c. Pray now where 's John Feuds false Assertion or grand falshood For J. F. never said T. C. W. R. and J. W. c. were of one mind for J. S. and J. W. says The payment of Cythes as at this day is Antichristian but T. C. saith It s his Principle to pay Tythes and Marry by a Priest and hath practiced accordingly in paying Tythes c. Now if J. F. had said these were of one mind and Judgment and spake the same thing T. C. might well have termed it false or a grand falshood Neither did J. F. say that those that are not faithful to the Spirit of God were of one mind And J. F. would not have T. C. say the Spirit of God is not at unity with it self nor that them that are led thereby not at Unity one with another least he thereby Contracts more guilt upon his Soul and affirms that which he may as for his other unfruitful words and works of darkness have full sore Cause to Repent of So God who is large in his mercy and Infinite in his kindness if it be his will give him a heart to Repent of these his evil works before he goes hence no more to be seen of man that they may not follow him and that these Sins may not in that dreadful day wherein God will Judge the Secrets of all hearts by Jesus Christ according to his Gospel and reward every man according to his deeds be such a weight upon him that will Sink him into the lake of endless misery and Horrible pit out of which there is no Redemption for God who knows how to deliver the Righteous out of Temptation knows how to Reserve the wicked to the day of Judgement Thomas Crisp. I am thy Friend who can and do as I have learnt of Christ freely forgive thee all thy hard speeches and false sayings concerning me Lodnon at the Bull and Mouth the 22 of the 1st month 1681 2. John Feild Jun. Postscript THere is one thing or two more that I before omitted and passed by as I have many other malicious words and falshoods of T. Crisp's for had I made a Catologue of them all I am perswaded they would have doubled if not trebled his pretended 12 falshoods set down in his Postscript of the 4 part of Babels c. In his 16 and 17 page T. G. saith But one Reason wherefore I paid that sooften mentioned as Tythes was as a Witness that I was not taught my fear by the Precepts of G. F. c. nor receive his traditions for Doctrines and that I had not Sacrificed all my faith Conscience and Judgment to his Orders your Idol to Worship that as too many both small and great do but as a Testimony against your Impositions c. Answera Is not this an ungodly Insinuation as if all faithful Friends that refuse to pay Tythes being so perswaded of God in their Consciences and not from any outward Law or order and therefore in the Lords will Suffer the Spoyle of their Goods and Imprisonment of their Bodies in Nasty Goals seperate from then render Wines Children and familys where many have ended their days in peace with God in their Christian Testimony against that great oppression
