Bugg Senior We acknowledge and believe the Canonical Books of the Old and New Testament to be the most certain Rule of our Faith and that not so much for the common consent of the Church but because of the Testimony and perswasion of the Holy Ghost And we believe that the doctrine contained in the holy Scriptures proceeds from God from whom only and not from men it derives its authority And forasmuch as it is the Rule of all Truth containing all matters necessarily required for the worship of God and our Salvation it is in no wise lawful for Men nor Angels to add unto or take from this doctrine or to change it And hereupon it followeth that it is not lawful to oppose either Antiquity or Custom or Multitude or humane Wisdom Judgments Edicts or Decrees or Councils or Visions or Miracles unto this holy Scripture but rather that all things ought to be examined and tried by the Rules and Square thereof wherefore we do for this cause allow of those three Creeds namely the Apostles the Nicene and Athanasius his Creed because they be agreeable to the Word of God We believe that all the Off-spring of Adam are infected with Original Sin which is a vice hereditary to us by propagation and not only by imitations as the Pelagians assert whose errors are detested by us we believe that this stain of Original Sin is Sin indeed howbeit they that are the Children of God shall never be condemned for it because God of his rich grace and mercy doth not impute it to them but out of his bounty doth deliver them through our Lord Jesus Christ And we believe that Jesus Christ being the Wisdom and Eternal Son of God took upon him our Nature so that he is one person God and man man that he might be able to suffer in soul and body made like unto us in all things sin only excepted so that as to hum●ne nature he was indeed the Seed of Abraham and of David conceived in due time in the Womb of the Virgin Mary by the sec●et and incomprehensible power of the Holy Ghost and that in one and the same person to wit the L●rd Jesus Christ his two natures are inseparably conjoined and united yet nevertheless in such a manner that each nature doth retain its distinct properties so that even as in this divine conjunction the divine Nature retaining its properties doth still abide uncreated infinite and filling all places so also the humane nature remaineth finite having form measure and property And also the Lord Jesus Christ when he rose from the dead gave Immortality to his body yet he never deprived it of the verity of its nature therefore we do so consider Christ in his Deity as that we do not rob him of his Humanity We believe that by that one Sacrifice which Jesus Christ offered upon the Cross we are reconciled unto God that so we may be accounted righteous in his sight And we believe that Jesus Christ is conferred upon us to be our alone Advocate and that he commandeth us in our prayers to present our selves to the Father in his name We do also reject those means which derogate from the satisfaction of the death and passion of our Lord Iesus Christ And we believe where the word of God is not received and where there is no use of Sacrame●ts we cannot judge that there is any Church for we believe that the Sacraments are absolued unto the word that they may be pledges and tokens of the Grace of God We believe that God will have the world ruled by Laws and Civil Government that there may be som● sort of bridles by which the unruly lusts of the world may be restrained and that therefore he appointeth Kings and Commonwealths and other kinds of Principalities whether hereditary or otherwise and not that alone but also what pertaineth to the Ministration of Justice whereof he avoucheth himself to be the Author therefore hath he de●ivered the Sword into the Magistrates hands that so sins committed against both Tables of Gods Law not only against the second but first also may be suppressed and therefore because God is the Author of this order we must not only suffer Magistrates whom he hath set over us but we must also give them much Honour and Reverence as unto his Officers and Lieutenants which have received their Commission from him to exercise so lawful and sacred a Function therefore we affirm that Obedience must be yielded unto their Laws that Tribute and Taxes must be paid and the Yoak of Subjection born although the Magistrates be Infidels so that the Soveraign Government of God be preserved wherefore we do detest all those who do reject the higher powers BOoks written by Fr.

in the unity of Essence Refuted The Sword of the Lord drawn c. p. 5. Your imagined God beyond the Stars and your carnal Christ is utterly denied and testified against by the light to say that Christ is God and Man in one person is a Lye A Question to Professors c. p. 20 27 33. To whom do the Names Jesus and Christ chiefly and in the first place belong do they belong to the body which was took by him or to him who took the body Is not the Su●stance the Life the Anointing called Christ where●ver it is found doth not the Name Christ belong to the whole body and every member in the body as well as to the dead Now the Scriptures do expresly distinguish between Christ and the Garment which he wore between him that came and the body in which he came between the substance which was vailed and the vail that vailed it Lo I come a body hast thou prepared me there is plainly he and the body in which he came there is the outward vess●l and the inward life this we certainly know and can be ●er call the bodi●y ●arment Christ but that which appeared and dwelt in the body c. Thus do they deny Christ which the Apostles preached saying Acts 5.30 35. The God of our fathers raised up Jesus whom ye slew and hanged on a tree him hath God exalted with his right hand to be a Prince and a Saviour for to give repentance to Israel and forgiveness of sins Acts 2.36 Therefore let all the house of Israel know assuredly that God hath made the same Jesus whom ye crucified both Lord and Christ c. The Christians Faith WE believe and confess there is but one God only whose being only is simple spiritual eternal invisible immutable infinite and incomprehensible And that the Holy Scripture teacheth us that in that one simple divine being there be three persons subsisting the Father the Son and the Holy Ghost the Father to wit the first cause in order and the beginning of all things the Son his everlasting word the Holy Ghost his vertue power and efficacy the Son begotten of the Father from everlasting the Holy Ghost from everlasting proceeding from the Father and the Son these 3 persons are not confounded but distinct and yet not divided but of one and the same essence eternity power and equality and to conclude we allow of that which those four ancient Councils have determined and we detest all other Sects and Heresies condemned by those holy Doctors St. Athanasius St. Hillary St. Cyril and St. Ambrose Now if the Light only be Christ and as they say they can never call the Body Christ then are the Apostles found false Witnesses and the Quakers acquit Judas and the Jews for they never did hang the Light or Spirit upon a Tree they never Crucified the Light see Quakerism withering and Christianity reviving c. p. 15 to 30 for more of this Will. Bayley's Works p. 300 307. He being asked What Body Christ hath and where is it seeing its said to be at the Right hand of God he replies saying A Body hast thou prepared me mark the distinction thou me and a body This me that spake in the body was the Christ Again p. 307. For they his Disciples loved his person for the sake of the frame and quality of the Spir t that dwelt in him or else what was his person to them m●re than another person but for the sake of that which dwelt in him they loved him The Christ Qua. and his Dev. Test p. 98. The Se-pent is a Spirit now nothing can bruise the head of the Serpent but something that is Spiritual as the Serpent is but if that body of Christ were the seed then could he not bruise the Serpents head in all because the body of Christ is not so much as in any one And consequently the seed of the promise is an holy principle of Light and Life that being received into the heart bruiseth the Serpents head And because the Seed which cannot be that body is the C●●ist as saith the Scripture the Séed is one and that Séed is Christ Touching the Scriptures Geo. Whitehead's Serious Apology p. 46. That which is spoken from the spirit of Truth in any is of as great Authority as the Scriptures and Chapters are and greater G. W. s Ishmael p. 10. That which is written is the Letter which is death and killeth Saul's Errand to Dam. 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 the Letter of the Scripture is death and killeth Several Petitions answered p. 30. If ever you own the Prophets Christ and the Apostles you will own our Writings which are given forth by the same power and spirit Truths Defence p. 2 102. You might have as well condemned the Scriptures to the fire as our Writings for our giving forth Papers and Printed Books it is from the immediate eternal Spirit of God The Quakers Refuge fixed c. p. 17. Whether the first Penman of the Scriptures was Moses or Hermes or whether both these are not one or whether there are not many words contained in the Scriptures which were not spoken by Inspiration of the Holy Spirit whether some words were not spoken by the Grand Impostor some by wicked men some by wise men ill applied some by good men ill expressed some by false Prophets and yet true some by true Prophets and yet false c. Davids Enemies discovered c. per G. Whitehead and Christopher Atkinson p. 7. And these the Apostles do not call the Letter the Rule and the four Books Matthew Mark Luke and John the New Testament and Gospel as thou and thy generation the Priests do and thy Ministry is in the Letter which killeth News coming up c. per G. Fox p. 14. Your Original is carnal Hebrew Greek and Latin and your word is carnal the letter and the light is carnal the letter and your Baptism is carnal and your Sacrament is carnal and their Communion is carnal A little Bread and Wine so dust is the Serpents meat their original is but dust which is but the letter which is death their Church is dust so the Serpent feed upon dust and their Gospel is dust Matthew Mark Luke and John which is but the letter Touching Ordinances P. 34. A voice and a word to all you Deceivers who deceive the people and Blasphemers who utter forth your Blasphemy and Hypocrisy that tell people of a Sacrament and tell them it is the Ordinance of God blush blush and tremble before the Lord God Almighty you who live in the Witchery and bewitch the people c. Burroughs Works about Water Baptism p. 518. We do utterly deny and do say it is no Ordinance of God but it is an Institution of the Whore of Rome and England received it by a popish Institution
