A DISCOVERY OF THE Mystery of Iniquity Hypocrisie Acting and Ruling in Hugh Derborough HAving seen a Paper of Hugh Derboróugh's which was read by Sam Jenings at their last Quarterly Meeting at Philadelphiá and approved by the Meeting and he received owned as one of their Church Members I found it convenient to say something in Answer to it he most falsly and maliciously accusing me in some things and also discovering manifestly his and his Brethren's Ignorance Unbelief and Hypocrisie with whom he hath joyned himself 1st He saith He was deceived in me and ensnared by me hearing such Chárges c. as if there were such as did divide Christ not preach Faith in the Man Christ Jesus nor own the Man Christ Jesus as Mediator in Heaven but the Grace of God within only and such like Charges as that they did not own the Resurrection of the Body and the Coming again and glorious Appearance of that heavenly Man Christ Jesus to judge the quick and the dead at the great Day of Judgment Answ That such Charges were true I have many Witnesses that may be produced in due time to discover this Hugh Derborough to be a Lyar and false Accuser who hath writ Lyes against his own Conscience and Knowledge for does not H. D. know that we have sufficient proof that Tho. Fizwater said He owned no Man Christ Jesus as Mediator in Heaven without him but the Grace of God within him and of which T. Budd complaine● to the Meeting of Ministring Friends at Burlington where Tho. Fitzwater himself was present and did not deny it nor they call him to an Accounot for it And was not Hugh Derborough at the Monthly Meeting where W. Stockdale openly renewed and confirmed his former Charge viz. That G. K. preached Two Christs because he preached Faith in Christ within Christ without beside the pretended Judgment given forth concerning W. S. says the same And the Judgment given forth by their Monthly Meeting which is also in print clearing T. Fitzwater for accusing me That the Light within was not sufficient without somewhat else that something else being the Man Christ Jesus in whom all Fullness of Light Grace and Truth is lodged and out of whom all true Believers receive a daily supply increase of Grace and he may remember what work we had at a Mo. Meeting a little before where it was affirmed That they knew but one Principle owned by Friends and that was the Light within which I refuted both from Scripture and Friends Books then T. Lloyd said There was but one Fundamental Principle which was the Light within which also I denyed From this it is evident that they exclude the Man Christ Jesus from having any part in our Salvation placing it wholly only upon the Light within and this H. D. has heard John Delavall publickly accuse me of Heresie for saying The Light within is not sufficient without something else yea and H D. himself hath renewed this in his Paper against me which he calleth The Mystery of Iniquity discovered by the Spirit of Truth but his Paper is the fruit of the Mystery of Iniquity that ruleth in his heart who is acted by a Lying Spirit Now that some approved among them deny the Resurrestion of the Body after Death and Christ's Coming to Judgment without us at the great Day c. we can sufficiently prove and it s in vain for H. D. to tell us these are false Charges while their Preachers are found preaching against these things and the hearers generally arguing and contending with us against them A. Jenings a Preacher among them has been heard not only by me but divers others to deny That any thing of this Body riseth after Death And Henry Willis one of the 28 now 27 false Judges told me That the only cause why he set his hand to that Paper was because I had affirmed Christ would come again without us at the great Day of Judgment to judge the quick and the dead And W. Southyby's Letter and J. Humphery's Letter and Paul Saunders Letter to me giving an Account of William Southyby M. Hodgskins their Unbelief in these principal things of the Christian Faith are sufficient proof and which Letters with other Instances and Proofs may in due time be made publick mean time take one Sentence of J. Humphery's Letter which is this I am grieved to hear some say They expect to be Iustifyed by that Blood that was Shed at Ierusalem To which Blasphemous sentence I shall not make any Reply at present but let all impartial Readers judge of it I have complained of it in private to John Humphry himself to several of his Brethren to their Quarterly Meeting to which he belongs and to their publick Meeting several moneths since and yet no calling him to account but of late he hath writ his second Letter confirming and justifying his former And therefore Hugh Derborough falsly accuseth me in saying I have deceived him for its the Lying Spirit in himself them he now owns to be his Brethren which have deceived him 2dly To his accusing me of Extream Heat and Passion when little occasion was given me if any but the clearing themselves of these Aspersions cast upon them calling of them Hypocrites abominable Hypocrites bidding them Cut him in pieces Chop him Fry him with many more unsavoury words which he saith appeared to him indeed to be but Bryars and Thornes Answ This is another Evidence of his great Hypocrisie and Lying Spirit as well as of his gross Prejudice and Partiality Enmity and Malice I called none Hypocrites or abominable Hypocrites but such whom I can well prove to be such And did not Christ call them Hypocrites Serpents Generation of Vipers c. who had discovered themselves to be such and the Apostles called such Hypocrites and deceitful Workers c. How then is this Bryars and Thorns in me when those I so called were such Have not also our Friends called their Opposers Hypocrites who were such yea and much harder Names than ever I did to any of them as Dead Beast dark Sot Incarnate Devils Wolves Dogs c. But what says Hugh Derborough to his Brother Sam. Jenings who at their last Quarterly Meeting being the 6 of the 1st Month called one of his Fellow Members Ignorant Idiot and Non-sensical Puppey Which Fruits are most like to Bryars and Thorns to call a deceitful man a Hypocrite or for Sam. Jenings to call a man of as good or better sence and understanding than himself Nonsensical Puppey Let H. D. answer to this and wipe off this and many other foul Expressions justly charged on his Brother Ienings if he can and yet this is he who did read H. D 's Paper and pronounce my Fruits to be Bryars and Thorns but accounts his own Fruits no doubt to be Figs and Grapes tho' at the same Meeting he call'd one of his Church Members Non-sensical Puppey i. e.
