THE Independent-Agent Or William Haworth's Malice Out-rage and Slander against the People called Quakers in his late Book falsly stiled Jesus of Nazareth not the Quakers Messiah Rebuked Jer. 48. 30. I know his VVrath but his Eyes shall not so effect it Rom. 1. 29. Being filled with maliciousness full of envy murder debate deceit FOrasmuch as on the occasion of our Answers and Replyes to William Haworth's Books and Pamphlets against the People called Quakers he gives us occasion to charge his Miscarriages and Abuses upon you of the Independent Party not only in these words viz. The Notes of my Antidote were viewed by one learned in Christ's School and I had his Approbation he did judge it sound and encouraged me to print it but also he saith You may well say that you have all this while waged War not only with single W. H. but with all the Independent Party in England I need not fear but I shall have their Prayers and Encouragment to stand by one in Christ's Cause c. p. 38 39. Now Independents behold your Agent who after divers manifest Abuses Perversions false and unfair Citations Variations and Corruptions on many serious Passages in our Books to make our words look with as deformed and ugly a Face as he can he thus charges the Quakers with preaching That the Ordinances of the Gospel are vain and cease for this he cites William Penn lately which W. P. flatly denies as none of his Words or Doctrine That it was the Devil that suffered without the Gates c. That Mary was a Whore and Christ a Bastard for this he cites James Naylor at York with this additional and more general C●arge annexed viz. THESE ARE THE QVAKERS DOCTRINES Here are enough to turn any Christians Stomach saith he And to aggravate the matter against the People called Quakers If he had preached such Doctrine he had deserved to have been dealt with in case that Law should now take place as a Blasphemer that is be stoned to death see his last Book Jes of Naz. p. 45. To all which in the sight and presence of the holy God we answer We are confident his Charge is horribly false in and upon the particulars and certain that 't is an abominable Slander in that general Charge upon the Quakers and he hath most infamously abused us in this matter in saying These are the Quakers Doctrines which we testifie against as so gross and abominable that nothing like them ●ath entred into our Hearts even to imagine much less to preach for Doctrine viz. That it was the Devil that suffered without the Gates c. and that Mary was a Whore and Christ a Bastard and yet he tells the World These are Quakers Doctrines What abominable wickedness is this thus to make infamous a People who abhor such Blasphemy But what Independents is his and your Envy so great that you would have u● stoned to death would you exceed your Brethren in New-England who brought the innocent Blood of some of our Friends upon them 'T is a wonder you do not sor shame stop this your Agent who appears full of Passion Envy and Revenge makes no Conscience to write Lyes and Slanders a proud insolent Boaster no Credit nor Grace to you Independents or your Cause who are chargeable with his abuses till you have cleared your selves of them Why have you slandered and abused a People thus will nothing less satisfie you then to have us stoned to death for Blasphemers and why do you treat u● with such Language as meer Juglers Deceivers of the People the Quakers down-right Socinians Hereticks nothing but deceit in these men they never had any credit among godly men Enemies to the Cross of Christ down-right Knavery Not eat nor drink nor keep company with them but abhor their Society as of a Jew Turk or Heathen John C●ook ' s impertinent foribling jugling equivocating like a man yet no man the ugliest of all their great Goddess Diana the Light within seared Conscience rotten Opinion A company of Cheats The rankest Jesuit at Rom● could ●ot have more wicked insinuations then the Quakers These with many more Slanders and Revilings are disperst throughout W. H's last Book who notwithstanding he has given such absolute Judgment against the Quakers as denying the man Christ setting up a false and fained one calling them Juglers D●ceivers C●●ats c. yet now he reckons there is ground of a shrewd SUSPITION that they do not believe Jesus Christ to be a real man in the Heavens p. 1. and begins to be JEALOVS of us whether we do but think that any thing at all was taken of the Virgin p. 5. and that one would THINK and he BELIEVES that the Quakers are of the same mind with Apollinaries holding that Jesus Christ had not a Living Soul p. 14. and would fain be SATISFIED that we are real when we say the same Jesus p. 12. That according to us till we fu●ther EXPLAIN our selves Jesus Christ neither is now nor ever was a true real man p. 14. And he APPREHENDS that we nullisie both that is Christs Flesh and Blood p. 18. And he FEARS that monstrous Opinion of the Ranters is amongst the Quakers of being Deified and Christheaded p. 23. And he is JEALOUS that our Opinion is that when God breathed into Adam the Breath of Life and man became a living soul that this is the forming of Christ in every man and entreats us to explain our selves p. 36 c. Observe now that he has censured and judged us in these matters from his own Suspition Jealousie Thinking Apprehension and Fears and in the presence of God we deny these his false Jealousies and Surmisings as well in these particulars cited as in many other things not here cited and we cannot expect he will have any good thoughts of us while his Envy is so great as to judge us Juglers Cheats Deceivers c. Donyers of the man Christ Jesus c. But now how uncertain and doubtful is this man his high Charges Clamours and Out-cries against us are turned into Suspition Jealousies Thoughts and Fear c. for want of further explanation and would sain be satisfied that we are real c. But his saying that he fears that mons●rous Opinion of the Ranters is amongst the Quakers c. is a very gross Lye to be sure for he is so far from fearing it that he seeks to make us as monstrous and ugly as he can in our Opinions telling the World that these are the Quakers Doctrines before-cited viz. That it was the Devil that suffered without the Gates That Mary was a Whore and Christ a Bastard intimating that we deserve to be stoned to death Oh most malicious Lyer and Slanderer We dread at the recital of these Blasphemies Well God will smite thee and mark thee out for these most horrible and abominable Slanders And as for thy deeming it high time that our Nest at Hertford were broken up
