A43234	The spirit of the Quakers tried, according to that discovery it hath made of it self in their great prophet and patriarch, George Fox, in his book titled, The great mystery of the great whore, &c. in an epistle to the said Quakers, but especially to the honest hearted amongst them ... : also, the judgment and sentence is pronounced by George Fox himself against himself and party in the persons of his adversaries / by a lover of truth and men.	Hedworth, Henry.	1672 (1672)	Wing H1352; ESTC R6264	33,758	47

is sometimes used when there is no swearning it seems to have been necessary for the Translators to put in I protest or some other word equivalent or else they had not fully expressed the full Import of the Apostles words But whether they have translated well or ill it 's certain that ne is in the Text which they have so translated and therefore it 's false that there 's nothing in the Text for I protest This puts me in mind of what he saith p. 117. it is no where said that the Apostle swore as if every one that swears must say I swear by God or the like or else he doth not swear that would be a notable way to excuse many thoustands of Oaths that are sworn by prophane men every day Now I would not have you think that I can produce no more Instances of this mans failure in quoting Scripture for I can more and yet I suppose I have not read above half that Book whence I have collected these For in truth it 's a burthen to me to read so many Tautologies and Repetitions so much non-sence and bad English so many Contradictions and Absurdities c. If you produce any man that has wrote a Book this 500 years wherein you can find so many or half so many false quotations of Scripture as I have shewed you in G. F.'s Book you will somewhat lessen then wonder and make it appear that he is not an unparallel'd perverter of Scripture but still one of the greatest that the world ever saw Surely those that are ingenuous among you will blush when you read what I have written for you are not concerned in him only as one of your party but as one and the chief one of your Ministers leaders and not only so but as in one that was of the first if not the very first that came forth in your spirit way one of greatest authority among you so great that some of you are offended to behold it one that writes in your behalf and professes to give answer in this one Book to above one hundred Books and papers of your Adversaries So that his faults are in some degree imputable to you especially if being warned you do not declare against them disown both him them Neither are these things that I object against him matters whose proof and evidence depend upon any curious arguments or even logical Demonstrations but upon the Demonstration of sense for the Question is How readest thou Doth the Scripture God Christ the Apostles and divinely inspired writers say those words that G.F. charges them with If not as I have shewed to your eyes they do not then I have proved what I undertook viz. that G. Fox is not only not infallible but a false prophet a liar or Impostor and that in matters which concern the most holy God and his Son and the holy Apostles and writers If I have prov'd also to your eyes that he passes severe censures upon others for far less crimes than himself is guilty of in the same kind then ought ye to condemn him out of his own mouth Moreover if according to your principle which forbids all swearing those of you that affirm falsly are to be reputed as perjured persons then G. F. is highly liable to be so reputed And if ye being now called as his Peers and as it were a numerous Jury to try and judge the cause of G. F. whether he be guilty or not guilty of those crimes which I have set before your eyes if ye I say shall not find and declare him guilty why shall not you also be accounted for perjured persons The evidence is not only as clear as that Twice two are four for G. F. has deny'd as plain a proposition as that namely that twice one are not two but all one but as clear as that one Egg is not two Eggs a Horse not a Cow or that THE is not AND c. And now that I have brought such undeniable evidence against him in obvious matters of fact I will take the boldness to tell you that it 's manifest also to any common understanding that F. G. neither knows the meaning of the words he writes nor considers them to such a high conceit of himself is he arrived Who that either knew or car'd what he said would have given out for Scripture such a plain absurdity as that in the 9 th Instance by whom the world was made before it was made Suppose he had reference to that in Joh. 1.3 and without him was not any thing made that was made Would any man but he have rendered it as he hath done What Sottishness what pride and folly would not you impute to another that should so do If he had known the meaning of the word infallible would he have said How can they but delude people that are not infallible As if there were no difference between To fail and To be not infallible Who but he would have said it was contrary to Christ's words to say That the Son of Mary God man is absent from his Church Who that knew what he said would have urged that Bunyan is deceived who said he Christ is Distinct from the Saints p. 16 and p. 293. that the Son is not distinct from the Father Who that knew the meaning of words would contend against him that said The soul is not infinite in it self but a creature and have asserted that it is infinite it self inmortal and infinite p. 29. and p. 68. Is not that the Soul of his being and p. 90. Is not the soul without beginning coming from God c. and p. 273. it is not horrid blasphemy to say the soul is a part of God for it came out of him c. Who that knew what he said or whereof he affirmed would have reasoned thus p. 325. If the seed of Israel be men then by thy account the seed of Israel is the seed of the serpent for they are men His Adversary chargeth him that he professed equality with God and he answers as if he did grant that some do witness equality with God only he did not say it of G. Fox See p. 127. If he had known the sence of the word carnal would he have said of the Bells p. 30. If they be not carnal then they are spiritual Who but G. F. would have said It was contrary to the Apostle's Doctrine to assert The Enjoyment of immortality is not till they have put off the body p. 40. And p. 55. he saith They that are not worshipping him Christ in them are worshipping men Devils or Angels But he never play 's the Critick with greater glory than when he meets with the word humane spoken of Christs nature for then he answers where doth the Scripture speak of humane the word humane where is it written tell us that we may search for it Now we do not deny that Christ according to the flesh was of
