A96383	Antichrist in flesh unmask'd, the Quakers Christianity vindicated, from the malicious and injurious attempts of [brace] Edward Paye, William Alcott, & Henry Loader, in their late defaming confused book falsly styled, Antichrist in spirit unmask'd, or Quakerism a great delusion, wherein their causeless outrage, folly and falshood are deservedly exposed.	Whitehead, George, 1636?-1723.	1692 (1692)	Wing W1888; ESTC R186514	11,564	37

Brother Thomas Hicks his abominable Forgeries and Lies in his fictions Dialogues and others long since refuted to his own and his Compurgators and Abetters utter Shame and Disgrace And you who are such credulous Approvers and Espousers of this Edward Paye's malicious Work against us do charge us with this horrid Lye viz. That the Holy Scriptures this Generation of Men contemn and vilifie God knows the contrary and he will judge righteously between us You have herein Grossly Belyed and Defamed us our real Intention and our Solemn Profession for the Holy Scriptures and sincere Esteem of them as therein we have been Credited by the Government and many others we doubt not but we shall still have Credit against your shameful Lyes and Defamations to the contrary whereby you have most Diabolically and Foully Foamed out your own Shame and Envy as will farther appear That the Foaming Unclean Spirit and Lying Devil is not cast out of you Oh! how well it would be for you if you would humbly wait for and own Christ's Appearance in Spirit and Power to cast out that Unclean Lying Spirit that Possesses you and has moved you to approve and divulge so many gross Lyes as are in your said Book Out of your Brother Thomas Hick's Dialogue you represent the Quaker to answer thus viz. When we make use of the Scripture it is only to quiet and stop their Clamours that plead for it as their Rule p. 14. This is one of your Brother Hick's gross Forgeries in the Quaker's Name which you have taken on Trust out of his fictitious Dialogue Oh! blush and be ashamed of adopting and promoting such False Deceitful Stuff and also of your subjoyning in the Person of the Quakers this Forgery viz. We own not the Scripture we seemingly allow it but our End in this is only to stop their Clamours that plead for it as their Rule These Words subjoyned to Hick's Forgeries I charge upon you Edward Paye William Alcott and Henry Loader as abominably False and Slanderous Will this Deceitful Method bring any Honour to you or honest Proselytes to your Church think ye Would you be Popular and Famous by such gross Forgery Is this the Fruit of your Religion you Dip and Proselyte People into You are hard put to it It is a Sign your Dispensation is decreasing and your Glory eclips'd when you can espouse and invent such gross Forgeries and make Lyes your Refuge Wo unto you Lying Hypocrites When and where did ever we the People called Quakers say as you say in our Name viz. That we own not the Scripture we seemingly allow it but our End in this is only to stop their Clamours c. These your horrid abusive Forgeries will be a sore Blot and heavy Burthen upon you And now pray observe what strange Test or Proof your Agent Edward Paye puts upon us to evince Immediate Inspiration viz. Now let the Quakers resolve me by their Immediate Inspirations What those Things were that Jesus did that are not written John 21.25 And what were the Contents of that Writing on the Ground John 8.6 8. or else let their proud Boastings of Immediate Inspiration be condemned to perpetual Silence and Shame cover their Faces And waiting for their Resolve herein c. p. 15 16. And why so If we do not resolve by Immediate Inspiration what those things were that Jesus did that are not written John 21.25 And what were the Contents of that Writing on the Ground John 8.6 8. Hereupon you have past Unjust Judgment and falsly charged us with proud Boasting and argued absurdly against Immediate Inspiration as if none have the Spirit of Christ unless they know and can declare all things it knows or could write as many Books of those Things Christ did as was supposed the World it self could not contain John 21.25 And then by this you Baptists will greatly fall short of being Christ's Ministers or Embassadors and have shut your selves out from any Share in the Spirit of Christ or Divine Inspiration And how then will you prove your Call to Baptize People in Water Though herein you have most egregiously contradicted your selves in pretending to Christ in you from 2 Cor. 13.5 and to be the Temples of God 1 Cor. 6.19 To be in Christ new Creatures 2 Cor. 5. p. 22. And to have the Spirit of Christ or else none of his p 23. And that Christ gives his Spirit to them that obey him Acts 5.32 p. 69. But does he give the Knowledg of all those other things that he did which are not written to all them that obey him think ye Or otherwise is it just to condemn them all to perpetual Silence and Shame for owning that Christ has given them his Spirit when they cannot tell all those other things Must we needs be as omniscient as the Spirit of God is or else be condemned as wholly destitute thereof Do you think you have well argued or given just Judgment in this Matter Oh! Blind Guides self-contradicting and self-condemned Hypocrites How hath Antichrist appeared in your Proud and Envious Flesh against Christ in Spirit On Matthew 24.26 you say It is more than probable That Christ pointed at this Generation of Impostors the Quakers who say Behold he is in the Secret Chambers which is a gross Lye by the way ay within thee not at a distance from thee c. To deem them Impostors that say Christ is within thee or them is to render the Holy Apostles Impostors who preached Christ within the Word nigh in thy Heart Rom. 10.6 7 8. which therefore was not separate from them and only at a Distance yea and to render your selves also Impostors who have confessed the same Truth of Christ within p. 22 23 69. from 2 Cor. 13.5 1 Cor. 6.19 2 Cor. 5.17 Eph. 2.22 John 16.7 Acts 5.32 Thus you Anabaptist Preachers have contradicted your selves as well as shewn your Antichristian Spirit against Christ within and that you are blind Guides and self-contradictory Opposers of the Mystery of Christ as well as Defamers of us for his sake You most shamefully belie the People called Quakers in your Comparison p. 18. where you say The Names they i. e. the Quakers give the Holy Scriptures viz. no better than an Old Almanack Precepts and Traditions of Men c. Pray where do they that is the People called Quakers give the Holy Scriptures those Names you charge upon them They are such gross notorious old Lyes that it is high Time for you to be horribly ashamed thereof as they are quite out of date with all sober minded People that know us so we doubt not but you who are now the Promoters thereof will be as much out of Credit as the first Fomenters have long been You abuse and wrong us about the Titles of our Books as if higher than we give to the Holy Scriptures perverting them by leaving out the Explanatory part of the Titles as for instance A true and Everlasting
