for then down goes your Infallibility and great will be the fall thereof Justifie them you cannot for if you tell them these sayings came from Heaven they 'll tell you they came from Hell so that here is a Gulf between you and them You may fret and fume rage and rail invert pervert gloss and paint but all to no purpose I have hem'd you up and cast a Trench about you and taken you as in a Net and resolve to hold you fast for I will not leave the decision of our Controversie to Quakers Ranters Muggletonians nor to your Grandsire the Pope Come G. W. I have not done with you yet you say The Quak. Vind. p. 2. As for Baptism and the Lord's Supper Scripturally considered we confess and own c. But may some say how is this possible who have not baptized any with Water nor received the Sacrament under the Elements of Bread and Wine these 40 years Answ Let me Interpret their meaning which I take to be thus They own them Scripturally that is as they own the Scriptures they own the Sacraments also upon the same Hypothesis they may say they own the Scriptures Sacramentally viz. as they own the Sacraments of Baptism and the Lord's Supper when alas they own neither no otherwise than Arius owned the Faith of one Substance who when at the demand of the Emperour he signed the Nicene Creed who before-hand wrote his own Opinion in a piece of Paper and put it in his Bosom under his Coat and coming to the Book he takes his Oath that he verily believed as he had written meaning as he had written in the Paper under his Coat In like manner the Quakers confess and own the Sacrament of the Lord's Supper Scripturally that is as they have written in their own Books And I pray may some say how is that For Answer you may see the same Juggle read News coming up c. p. 14. So dust is the Serpent's meat their Original is but dust which is but the Letter which is Death and their Gospel is dust Matthew Mark Luke and John which is the Letter Thus then they own the Scriptures Sacramentally viz. to be Dust Death and Serpents meat And I will shew you how they own and confess the Sacrament of the Lord's Supper Scripturally viz. as they own the Scriptures for Proof thereof see a Book of their own writing only they are not so cunning as Arius for he never Printed his Paper I say see News coming up c. p. 34. A Voice to all you deceivers who deceive the People and Blasphemers who utter forth your Blasphemies and Hypocrisies that tell People of a Sacrament and tell them it is the Ordinance 〈◊〉 God Blush Blush and Tremble you who live in the Witchery and bewitch the People 〈◊〉 Thus Reader I have shewed how they own the Lord's Supper Scripturally and the Scripture Sacramentally which though they have Printed the same yet they are as loath to shew their Books of this kind to Authority as Arius was his Paper yet Arius could never pretend fairer to the Emperour than G. Whitehead in the Quak. Vind. c. did to the Parliament The like might be said about their owning the Fast commanded by Authority p. 3. of their Vind. For the Intent Substance and End of a true Fast this we are frequently mindful of c. Oh deceit when 't is generally known through the Nation that on the days set apart by Authority for a Fast they follow their outward Callings open their Shops and not so much as appoint a Meeting for that end as others have done I have not room to shew the depth of Hypocrisie in this Whitehead 't is like his Pretence of late Years of owning the Scriptures and preferring them before all the Books in the World but he means Sacramentally If he deny my Interpretation of their Reserves then let him shew me that any one Quaker in England of the Foxonian Tribe in Print hath recommended the Reading of the Scripture in their Religious Meetings if such I may call them As they frequently do their own Epistles for instance see Geo. Whitehead's Epistle for the Remnant of Friends c. where he concludes thus Let this Epistle be Read distinctly * Here must not be a Syllable mistaken for it came from Heaven in the Quakers And yet I question it for in pag. 12. he compares the Sufferings of the Quakers to the Sufferings of Christ like his Brother Burroughs E. B's Works in the Life and Authority of God from whence it came amongst Friends in and about London and elsewhere as Friends are moved in the same Life c. To this Instance let me add Whitehead's Doctrine in his Book A Serious Apology c. p. 49. That what is spoken by the Spirit of Truth in any meaning the Quakers is of as great Authority as the Scriptures and Chapters are and greater And for further Proof that they value their own Pamphlets above the Scripture see New Rome Arraigned c. Introd 10 Instances c. p. 40. to 47. And Quakerism withering c. p. 32. to 44. By which I have proved both from Matter of Fact and Practice what I charge them with beyond all their glossing And now I am leaving G. W. I apply my self to the Hearers amongst the Quakers and do Solemnly profess that I never wrote one Book out of Malice as he suggests and as may appear in every Book by the Proposals and Offers I therein make But if you do not call out G. W. and cause him to stand to his Proposal or else condemn and censure his Errors and the Errors in your Friends Books by him vindicated under 12 or more of your hands I do purpose if the Lord permit to proceed to a Brief History of the Rise Growth and Progress of Quakerism from the Year 1650. to 1695. And the Projects of G. Fox the Founder of Quakerism And wherein their Principles are Antichristian Antimagistratical Irrational Unreasonable Tending to subvert the Christian Faith to introduce Mahumetism Atheism c. And to shew that their Faith and Doctrine is contrary to that of the Primitive Christians Saints and Martyrs in all Ages First in denying Jesus of Nazareth contemning the Scriptures reviling the Magistrates reproaching the Ministers of the Gospel undervaluing the Death and Sufferings of Christ and exalting their own of which many are meer Cheats particularly Sam. Cater's * See New Rome unâ—â—â—â—… 57. who is recorded to have suffered 20 l. where he never lost a groat but had 10 l. sent him from London so that instead of losing 20 l. for Preaching he got 10 l. clear and many other things which may occur which may be prevented by a sincere Retractation And let not G. W's Cunning and smooth and demure Carriage prevent you from Condemning what is Erroneous for though he study no Events nor fear no Effects as he says yet I would have you be wiser For
whatever you think as some of his Friends have told him in Barkshire to his Face 't is he that hath been the chief disturber 't is he that hath poysoned the minds of many well-meaning People 't is his false glossing and base perverting that hath drawn the edge of my Pen against you and if you will stand by him and not like the Wise Woman of Abel bring him forth nor condemn his Errors c. my Hand will be still heavier upon you if God permit me length of days and the assistance of his Holy Spirit For I do tell you his Impudence hath exceeded all that ever I read of none exceed him in perverting and false glossing And if this Answer had not come out I was minded by a quarter of a Sheet to give you a second Summons whether you hear or forbear For I find G. W. will not come forth himself he feareth the Fate of Hungate the Jesuit against Hall See New Rome unmask'd c. p. 33. to 49. Oh Friends for so I can call many of you I am grieved to see you willingly ignorant and as I have already so I could still take great pains to inform you of the subtil working of some of your Juggling Teachers whose Books are of two sorts and carry two faces as I have often said saying one while that the Scriptures are Death Dust Serpents Meat Beastly Ware c. yea so uncertain that whether Moses or Hermes be the first Penman is doubtful But your Bellarmine G.W. to serve a turn told the Parliament in your Vind. c. that the Quakers believed it to be given by Divine Inspiration Now Friends one of these Books which teach thus contrary to each other must be wrong then let it be condemned Again G. W. says you prefer the Scriptures before all Books extant and yet he himself teach by his Serious Apology p. 49. That what is spoken from the Spirit of Truth in any is of as great Authority as the Scriptures and Chapters are and greater c. And now you shall see how by Practice he prefers his own Writings before the Scripture for he never recommended a Chapter of the Bible to be read in their Meetings of Worship But you shall see how he imposeth the Reading his own and you poor hearts are obliged to hear it read viz. An Epistle for the Remnant of Friends by G. Whitehead which concludes thus Let this Epistle be read distinctly in the Life and Authority of God from whence it came amongst Friends in and about London c. Now I appeal to your Consciences which does G. W. prefer think-ye Again G. Fox in Answer to C. W. Great Myst p. 246. said The Scriptures are not the Word of God as thou Blasphemously affirmed when upon his own Epistle he set this Encomium This is the Word of the Lord God to you all Again Several Papers given forth by G. Fox he there tells his Friends This is the Word of the Lord I charge you in the Presence of the Living God to send this Epistle amongst all Friends and Brethren every where to be read in all Metetings To them all this is the Word of God c. Oh Friends when did ever G. Fox say so of the Scriptures No he is so far from that that he says 'T is Blasphemy to call the Scriptures the Word of God Pray mark the irreconcileable Difference and yet your Bellarmine G. W. had the Face to tell the Parliament they prefer the Scriptures before all Books in the World Oh horrible Impudence Again see your Book Truth 's Defence c. p. 2. 104. where they Teach you may as well burn the Scriptures as their Writings and their Convocation or London Yearly Meetâ—ng 1675. confirm them by Decree saying It is our Judgment in the Fear of God and Authority of his Power that no such slight Names â—dicts or Cannons be put upon Friends Papers which we Testifie have been given forth by the Spirit of God c. Now when did they ever send out a Decree that no such slight Names and Expressions as Dust Death Serpents Meat Beastly Ware Carnal Letter Husk c. should be cast upon the Scriptures No no they were so far from that that the very Men that gave the Scriptures these contemptuous Names sent out this Preservative for their own Books Papers and Queries Oh Friends what do you think of G. W. Is he not made up of Impudence The Difference is so great between the value they put upon their own Books and that upon the Scriptures that it can never be reconciled nor Satisfaction made to them that tender the Glory of God and the good of Souls with grateful Hearts for his Goodness in continuing the Bible to us through all Ages but by Condemning the one sort of the Quakers Books to the Fire as Oxford lately did a Book of the same Nature Why then will you not bring forth Sheba the Son of Bichri that Man of Belial G.W. Is there not a Wise Man amongst you He tells you that I wrong the Quakers in Charge Citation and Observation Bring him forth according to his Proposal and you will see it proved that I have not I have given you a few Instances I might produce a hundred more but time would fail G. W. hath wrote to divers Clergy-Men to prevail with me to desist they give me his Letters and wish me good Success Two of your Teachers have been with me within these two Months past and used many Arguments with me I tell them all is in vain unless they bring forth Sheba And so I say still or else come forth your selves and condemn what is Erroneous and defend what is Sound and Orthodox And so I conclude and subscribe my self your Friend in what I am able to do Milden-Hall Aug. 20. 1695.

blamed by Worthy Erasmus And if such a Man as Luther was thus blamed why should I think it strange As to the Pillory the occasion of it was their falsifying their Word in the case of Evidence between G. W. and me For they long before that by their Books stiled The Case of the People called Quakers in relation to Oaths c. p. 26. And in another Book stiled A Treatise of Oaths c. p. 3. They pretended A willingness to suffer as in the Case of Perjury in case they brake and falsified their Word c. As at large recited in New Rome Arraigned c. Epist to the Bereans c. And though I erected a Mock-Pillory to shew them what in reality they did deserve yet it had this Service that it manifested their Persecuting Spirit and what they would be at had they Power put into their hands O! how did they fly to the Powers of the Earth which they formerly blamed others for crying out to Secretary Trenchard for help against Fr. Bugg Yea they Indicted * If they do deny it I have a Copy out of the Court with G. W's Name and the rest And their Indictment is in the most aggravatious terms that ever I saw me at the Old Bailey London when I was absent Sixty Miles and knew nothing of it O! how did they sollicite the Secretary of State against me And did not W. Crouch give Five Pounds and Promise a larger Sum if he could have had their Revengeful Prosecution of me taken effect and my Book New Rome c. which they had got seized to be burnt With many other signs of their Persecuting Spirit which had they Power they would manifest more and more as they did in Pensilvania to G. Keith and his Friends where they both Fined and Imprisoned them and took away R. B's Goods for Conscience-sake Yea so Inhumane were they that when they Committed W. Bradford and John M'comb one of their Wives was newly brought to Bed and lay very weak in a High Fever and several thought she would not live and though he requested them to let him go home yet they would not grant him leave to see her Oh merciless Magistrates I my self when a Quaker was Prisoner at once more than three Years yet during that time I had leave divers times to go home to visit my Family which I find I must not expect if ever I be Prisoner under the Quakers who being Magistrates in Pensilvania can both Fine Imprison and take away Goods and fight with Carnal Weapons both which viz. Persecutioh for Conscience and Fighting with Carnal Weapons they have pretended to be against But now I see 't is but till they get Power and become Magistrates themselves And truly if as T. C. hath modestly computed there be but 100000 Quakers in England and 1000 of them Preachers and 1000 Meetings and W. Pen Influence as he observes but 80000 of them to Fighting and Persecution I know not what a little time may bring forth For as T. C. well observes They are but sowing their Seed now but the full Crop may not appear in this Age which puts me in mind of their former Declaration Printed 1659. Signed by W. Crouch and fourteen more saying p. 12. We have chosen the Son of God to be our King and he hath chosen us to be his People And he might Command Thousands and Ten Thousands of his Servants at this day to fight in his Cause and give them Victory over all their Enemies and turn his hand upon their Persecutors But yet his Kingdom is not of this World Neither can we yet believe that he will make use of us in that way But for the present we are given up to bear and suffer all things for his Names-sake From whence it 's plain that in 1659. they said Neither can we yet believe But by their Practice in Pensilvania in Anno 1692. they believe they may now Fight and Persecute too That in 1659. the Quakers said But for the present we are given up to bear and suffer all things for his Names-sake But by their Practice in Pensilvania 1692. they say they will not be affronted by any body They will Fight with Guns and Swords and Persecute such as tell them they go from their Principles with Fines and Imprisonment Come G. W. what is become of your Interpretation of the word as yet What is it tamen I hope you see it to be Adhuc as yet in exception to the time to come I know you are good at Inuendo's and at directing the Intention Jesuit like See his Book stiled The Light and Life of Christ within c. p. 58. Solomon Eccles one of their False Prophets which prophesied that John Story should dye within a Year who lived three or four Years after who said The Blood which was forced out of Christ's Body when he was dead was no more than the Blood of another Saint Which Blasphemy G. W. excuses saying No more than the Blood of another Saint his intent was as to the Papists c. Which Blasphemy G. K. in his Book stiled A true Copy of a Paper c. p. 17. to 31. hath effectually discovered And G. W. is so good at Directing the Intention that he knows what all his Friends mean for in his Counterf Conv. c. p. 72. he says I may see cause otherwise to word the matter and yet our Intentions be the same The English of which is though Is P. deny Jesus of Nazareth to be Christ and make him but a Vail a Garment c. And G.W. confess him to be the Christ yet they mean all one thing only a Garment And the Light that was therein crucified is the Christ And what was his Person to them more than another Person Oh but says his Young Pupil Pennington The Discoverer Discovered c. p. 13. The Author of this Doctrine being nameless I suppose he has forgot who it was And truly I cannot blame him for forgetting what I believe saith he had never any other Foundation but meer Imagination c. Surely if his Infallible Spirit with which they pretend to be endued so as thereby to be furnished with Discerning and Judgment on all occasions Judas and the Jews c. p. 58. could not tell him yet G. W. might for 't is in The Christian Doctrine and Society by G. W. p. 5. and W. Baily's Works p. 300. 307. Come G. W. since the Quakers are attained to that Perfection as that they hold Courts of Judicature in the Name of the Honourable William Penn And that you have Judges Lawyers Bailiffs Constables Goalors and Souldiers Guns and Swords in Pensilvania tell me the Intention of your great Apostle G. Fox in his News coming up c. p. 20. Sing all ye Saints and rejoyce clap your hands and be glad for the Lord Jehovah will Reign * Viz. When we get Governours over Pensilvania and England c. and the Government
Abstract thereof is as followeth viz. Dear and Precious One in whom my Life is bound up my Strength in thee stand by thy Breathings I am nourished by thee my Strength is renewed Life and Strength came from thee Holy ONE Daily do I find thy Presence with me which doth exceedingly preserve me for I cannot Reign but in thy Presence and Power Pray for me that I may stand in thy dread for evermore I am thine begotten and nourished by thee and in thy Power am I preserved Glory unto thee Holy One for ever See this Blasphemous Letter more at large in The Discovery of the Accursed Thing by T. C. I remember when I charged the Quakers in my Sheet to the Parliament Dec. 1693. p. 4. with their Contempt of the Publick Ministry out of their Book A Brief Discovery c. calling them as false Ministers Witches Devils c. First Geo. Whitehead in The Quak. Vind. p. 2. Col. 2. denies that he knew the Book and yet I find in his Just Enquiry c. p. 13. Printed ten Months before that he could Answer it tell the Title Date and number of Subscribers namely five saying But stay soft a little were these Characters given in general or to all other Ministers that are not of us No sure In their Vindication c. delivered to the Parliament pag. 2. Col. 2. though he denyed to know the Book yet he then could say Yet his charging us with Contempt of the Publick Ministry is too general and harsh we Charitably distinguish between the more moderate sort and the rigged Persecutors c. Well let us see whether G. Whitehead be sincere He cries soft a little in one Book and pretends Charitably to distinguish in the other Book So that a stranger would think him very fair at least tolerable But to prove him deceitful and that they give those Contemptuous Language to all Ministers nor Quakers I shall make appear for the Title over the Names is Of the False Ministers And therefore the way to find out G. W. is to Examine First who they account False Ministers and Secondly what Names they are pleased to bestow upon them First Who the Quakers Account False Ministers 1. G. Fox his Primmer p. 84. Scholar Who have been the Ministers and Instructors of the People that they are erred so from Scripture-Example Let me have some Marks and Signs by which I may know the Deceivers and False Prophets c. Geo. Fox gives his Scholar Ten Instances against the Clergy one is this namely They are such as sprinkle Infants and tell People it is an Ordinance of Christ 2. Smith's Primmer c. p. 8. Schol. How may I know when Christ is truly Preached Answ They that are False Ministers Preach Christ without and bid People believe in him as he is in Heaven above but they that are Christ's Ministers Preach Christ within 3. Saul's Errand to Damascus c. p. 7. All that do study to raise a living thing out of a dead to raise the Spirit out of the Letter are Conjurers And the Lord is against all such and who are of God are against all such 4. The Quakers Challenge c. p. 2. Come Protestants Presbyterians Independants and Baptists c. the Quakers deny you all p. 3. The Quakers are in the Truth and none but they 5. The Guide Mistaken c. by W. Penn p. 18. And whilest the Idle Gormandizing Priests of England run away with above 1500000 l. a Year under pretence of being God's Ministers and that no sort of People have been so Universally through Ages the bane of Soul and Body of the Universe as that abominable Tribe for whom the Theatre of God's most Dreadful Vengeance is reserved to Act their Eternal Tragedy upon c. 6. An Antidote by Thomas Ellwood p. 78. Truth allows of no Payment of Tithes at all under the New Covenant They who Pay Tithes uphold a Legal Ceremony abrogated by Christ and thereby deny Christ to be come in the Flesh which is a mark of Antichrist I think I need not enlarge on this Point for all that sprinkle Children with Water all that Preach Christ without as he is in Heaven above at the Right Hand of God all that Preach out of the Scripture all that are Ministers and not Quakers all that Pay Tithes or receive Tithes are of that abominable Tribe for whom God's Dreadful Vengeance is reserved c. In fine all not Quakers are False Ministers by the Doctrine of the Quakers And now it remains to shew what the Quakers call them in their Book A Brief Discovery of a Threefold Estate of Antichrist c. under the Tithes as in p. 7 8 9 10. Viz. Of the False Ministry The Priests of the World are I. Conjurers raising dead Doctrine dead Uses dead Motives dead Reasons out of the Letter which is Death raising Death out of Death notable Conjurers II. Thieves and Robbers III.

Lyars the Commission and Call of Baal's Priests Come from Oxford and Cambridge which they call the Well-head of Divinity corrupt Streams issue from thence I can witness fetching the same Commodities drinking a Cup of the same Poysonous Fountain the Fountain is bitter the Streams are no better Even the Sir Symons of the Age run to Oxford and Cambridge These are not Ministers of Christ but Stewards of the Devil's Magazine Dissemblers and Lyars VII A Viperous and Serpentine Generation going about to Murder and Strangle the Child Jesus holding a Worm-eaten Beastly Form VIII Blasphemers yea of the Devil fearful Blasphemers IX Scarlet-coloured Beasts A Harlot full of Abominations and Filthiness X Babylon's Merchants Selling Beastly Wares for a large Price the Letter which is Dust and Death The day is coming when these Idol Merchants these costly Sermon-makers shall cry c.

Come G. W. you say Soft a little we Charitably distinguish c. But now your Spirit your Principles and Practice by your Books are found out and the Reason why you refuse to meet me according to your Proposal is now found out for you know you must either Justifie these your Antichristian and abominable Books or Condemn them Condemn them you will not for that they are given forth by your great Apostle G. F. and his Disciples and as you say by the Eternal Infallible Spirit of God
shall be taken from you pretended Rulers Judges and Justices Lawyers and Constables all this Tree must be Cut down c. But I cannot enlarge at present on this Subject but the more you strive to cover and cloak your Errors the more do you give occasion to have them manifested which puts me in mind of a Fable recited by Luther Malum irritatione auctum A Sore groweth worse by chasing And truly since our Scuffle first began about Womens Meetings the Sect of the Foxonian Quakers like the Man in the Fable appears not only Lame but Scabby c. And the more they give occasion the more I rub and chafe this Corrupt Sore until it will stink all the Nation over If they again complain that I put frightful Garments upon them let them withal remember 't is a Web of their own Weaving Now I shall shew what Geo. Fox the Founder of Quakerism says of himself next what his Brethren by way of Confirmation say of him and next what the Quakers they say of the National Ministry of the Scriptures Sacraments and of their own Writings briefly and in Order First of G. Fox's Assuming Divine Attributes to himself News coming up c. p. 1. Written from the Mouth of the Lord from one who is naked and stands naked before the Lord cloathed with Righteousness whose Name is not known in the World Risen up out of the North which was prophesied of * Quere by which Prophet but now it is fulfilled c. Several Petitions Answered c. p. 60. My Name is covered from the World and the World knows not me nor my Name A Battledoor c. Introd All Languages are to me no more than dust who was before Languages were c. Alike to James Parnel in his Book The Watcher c. p. 37. But to the end of all Disputes and Arguments I am come for before they was I am I have Power to bind and to loose whom I please from him whom the World calls George Fox who is the Son of God G. F. W. O. C. The Examination and Tryal c. p. 21. The Thundering Voice answered me Geo. Fox I have glorified thee and will glorifie thee again And I was so filled full of Glory that my Head and Ears was filled full of it A Journal c. p. 31. 60. 67. I was in the Paradice of God and that it was Christ the Eternal Power of God that spake in me at that time unto them And that was the Word of the Lord and of Christ through me to him So that it was a dreadful thing unto them when it was told them the Man in Leathern Breeches is come See also p. 45. And for his pretended Miracles wrought in his own Name only p. 371. 374. Saul's Errand c. p. 8. And he that hath the same Spirit that raised up Jesus Christ is equal with God which Spirit G. Fox pretended to have The Great Myst c. p. 894. The Quakers have a Spirit given to them beyond all the fore-fathers which we said G. F. do Witness since the days of the Apostles in the Apostacy And they can discern who are Saints who are Devils and who are Apostates without speaking ever a word The Great Mystery c. pag. Thus Reader I have given you a few Instances of Blasphemy which hang and depend one upon another as a Chain linked together And the next shall be what his Preachers said of him by way of Corroboration But first hear what G. W. says in order to convince the World that Geo. Fox owned Jesus of Nazareth which indeed and in truth is no more nor less than he G. F. said of himself A notable Proof well may he be afraid or ashamed or both to meet me before moderate Men of sense Well hear G. W. for once A Just Enquiry c. p. 23. And G. F. is more fully cleared from these Adversaries Reproach in this matter by his own Innocent Testimony Great Myst p. 254. That by Christ the Light all things were made and created and that he was glorified with the Father before the World began c. Well done George But now let us see if he do not say thus much of himself and if so what Paint hast thou in store next The Teachers of the World unvailed c. p. 27. I am the Light of the World him by whom the World was made And doth enlighten every Man that cometh into the World * Meaning the Light in him Again The Examination and Tryal at Lancaster Assizes c. p. 21. And before I came at the Bar I was moved to Pray and the Thundering Voice answered I have glorified thee and will glorifie thee again I marvel that Whitehead should have the Face to appear in Print with no better Proof that Fox owned Jesus of Nazareth Surely he may well be ashamed to appear before any Men of sense to Justifie these his Abominations And so much briefly for what Fox says of himself and what Whitehead brings to excuse him The Quakers Adoring Geo. Fox c. Fifth Part of the Christian Quaker disting c. p. 77. That G. Fox is blessed with Honour above many Brethren and that Thousands will stand by him in a Heavenly Record That his Life Reigns and is spotless Innocent and still retains his Integrity whose Eternal Honour and Blessed Renown shall remain yea his Presence and the dropping of his tender words in the Lord's love was my Soul's Nourishment The Quakers Challenge c. p. 6. Stand up Muggleton who callest thy Book A Looking-Glass for Geo.

F. and Sol. Eccles agree G. F. said The world neither knew him nor his Name mark what Idolatry Blasphemy is here So it may be said of this true Prophet whom John said he was not But thou shalt feel this Prophet i. e. G.
