Whitehead 's Serious Apology p. 49. G. W. Truth Def. p. 7. WHICH Spirit is the Light that every Man is born with 32 G. Fox Myst p. 20. 209. AND this Light we take to be the Grace of God which taught Christ's Apostles to deny Ungodliness T it 2. 11. Because our learned Preacher W. Penn says there is no Natural Light in Man and that it 's Natural to Man to have a Supernatural Light 33 W. Penn 's Primitive Christianity p. 15.30 AND tho our Opposers say that the Light we were born with is only some natural Reason or Understanding common to all Men both Jews and Gentiles yet we believe them not for we hold it sufficient if obeyed to Salvation without any thing else 34 G. Whitehead 's Antidote p. 28. Heresie and Hatred by G. K. p. 1. AND tho our Opposers blame us for denying the Scriptures to be our Rule yet we make use of the Scriptures to answer them not that we make them our Rule and Touchstone instead of the Spirit 35 Geo. Whitehead 's Apostate Incend p. 14. AND now our Opposers have found that our printed Books agree not with the Scriptures we tell them A. Lie viz. That we have always readily offered and submitted our Words and Writings to the Testimony of H. Scripture 36 G. Whitehead 's Switch p. 229. YET we would not meet * See G. Keith's Four Narratives G. K. in publick these Four Years because he saith he will prove us fallible Men which we cannot bear though we grant that Samuel Elijah Elisha and others had failings but what is that to us 37 Geo. Whitehead 's Switch p. 497. FOR we can now otherwise word the Matter tho our Intentions be the same as we have done in our new Confessions of Faith but our Opposers think we are not sincere while we cloak the Errors in our Books 38 Geo. Whitehead 's counterfeit Convert p. 72. AND our Opposers see that our new Creeds are quite contrary to our ancient Books and continue blaming us when we tell them viz. our Principles are now no other than what they were when we were first a People 39 Joseph Wyeth's Primitive Christianity with other Books of their Heresies that might be mentioned THUS their Preachers can keep none in Ignorance except their Hearers Objection If any say this Man has not given full Quotations out of our Books though he may have given the Sense of them Answer My designed Method says W. Penn is not the common Road of printing my Adversaries Words at large on all Occasions c. Serious Apol. p. 79. ☞ Note that whereas the Quakers finding that Christ is called the word of GOD in Scripture therefore they will not allow the Holy Scriptures to be called the Word of GOD nor the Sermons truly preached from it though the Quakers frequently called their own Writings The word of GOD and the word of the LORD † G. Fox Vials of Wrath c. p. 7.1654 p. 9. and p. 12. and in The way to the Kingdom printed 1655. p. 14. and in his several Papers c. p. 62. Then 1. I ask them how some of Old made the word of GOD of none effect Mark 7. 13. They could not so use Christ 2. How the Corinthians corrupted the word of GOD 2 Cor. 2.17 3 dly How the Devil could take the word of GOD out of Peoples Hearts Luke 8.11 Lastly I desire such Quakers as have Eyes to see whither their Teachers Books agree with the Holy Scriptures or no and let them well consider Matt. 6.23 If therefore the Light that is in thee be Darkness how great is that Darkness W. Mather of Bedford who was a Quaker above Forty Years but is now returned to Christianity The Quakers did not only write and speak contemptuously of the Scriptures formerly but also one of their Ancient Friends viz. M. Tucker did actually and publickly burn the BIBLE against Breadstreet Church She was Servant to Mr. Rayman a Barber who then lived in that Street and now lives in Queenstreet in Cheapside who has often testified the Truth of this Relation Note Reader the Printed Sheet published by some Quakers but without any Name called The great Calumny of the Quakers despising the Holy Scriptures is throughout impudently Fallacious first in charging the Quotations taken out of the Quakers Books to be unjustly perverted and confusedly curtailed and crouded which yet are most truly and fairly given and represented excepting some small Errata of the Print now corrected 2dly In their giving Quotations out of their own Books curtailed on purpose to hide their Errors 3dly In passing by the most offensive and scandalous Quotations given out of the Quakers Books without any reply either to justifie or blame them 4thly They still deny the Scriptures to be the Word of GOD and rule of Faith and assert the Quakers Infallibility LONDON Reprinted for B.
