your own Lamps And now having cased my Spirit of what lay upon me to write I shall at this time conclude with the Apostle Paul to the Ephesians Cap. 4. vers 1 2 3 I therefore beseech you that ye walk worthy of the Vocation wherewith you are called with all Lowliness and Meekness with Long-suffering forbearing one another in Love endeavouring to keep the Unity of the Spirit in the bond of Peace John Bringhurst An Epistle of Caution to Friends to take heed of that Treacherous Spirit that is entred into W.R. and his Abettors as appears in his Malicious Book falsly called The Christian-Quaker c. HAving seen a Book written by W.R. I have considered the end of his Writing and Printing it which is to abuse and misrepresent the faithful People of the Lord who in scorn are called Quakers especially such as have been faithful to God in their Day and Generation eminently known to have been such in this our Day by being Instrumental to turn Hundreds and Thousands to Righteousness especially that dear and eminent Servant of God G.F. who for his Works sake in the Gospel of the Lord Jesus many do esteem and honour and honourable he is to this day though such as W.R. and his Adherents who because of Prejudice and Malice endeavour what in them lies to asperse him and abuse him and contradict his blessed Life in which he is still made Instrumental in the hand of the Lord to bring forth blessed things for the Service of God and his Truth from the Oracles of the divine Breath to the Praise of his Name forever The Title of his Book he has Printed is The CHRISTIAN QUAKER Distinguished from the APOSTATE and INNOVATOR Sad it is to consider the Work of the Enemy and the Spoil he endeavours to make in the blessed Church of God and First-born in this our Day blessed be the Lord and honoured be his Name forever who has kept a Remnant faithful from Back-sliding into Error Heresie and Schism who retain their First Love and the Sense they first received in his Eternal Power and Spirit and by this and through this Sense they are able to judge of things that differ And if the Devil say or any whom he has deluded and led into Blasphemy They are Apostatized or are become Innovators and so would cast an Odium upon them and falsly accuse them We know this is the same Spirit though it may be under another Profession that alwayes hated the Truth and despised the heavenly Counsel and order of it and there were such in the Apostles dayes who were unfaithful to God who abused such as kept the Faith and yet retained the Profession of Faith and Christianity in those Primitive Times yea Paul that eminent Servant of God and such as were his faithful Companions in the work of the Gospel were not spared by them who loved to reign as Kings without them and set up themselves as Apostles and Ministers to lord over Gods Heritage and to seduce the Simple-hearted from the Obedience of the Faith and so became Instruments in the hands of Satan to bring in the Apostacy which entered by departing from the Power of God and setting up themselves over the People by usurping Authority over their Consciences yet under the Profession of Faith and a good Conscience which notwithstanding they had made Shipwrack of This cursed Spirit of Satan is now entred into the Heart and Soul of W.R. and such of his Abettors as own the Printing and Publishing of his Wicked Book aforesaid wherein he has accused the faithful Brethren at large and with a full Mouth of that which he himself is grosly guilty of that is Apostacy and Innovation And for his calling his Book The Christian Quaker c. it is notoriously Blasphemous and far unlike the True Christian Quaker and let him prove when at any time any true Christian Quaker was Instrumental to bring forth such a Work as he has done in his Book and to gratifie such a People as he has done by Printing of it to the view of the World as it were to call and invite the Wickedest of men and most Malicious against Truth to see and behold the Quakers Differences and as much as in him lies to represent the Best of the Quakers as I may so say naked to the view of the Rabble and the worst of the Instruments of Satan by them to be Derided Mocked and Persecuted as their Lord and Master Jesus Christ was to render them Bad and Ungodly to put Weapons into the hands of the Wicked to War against them with and as much as in them lies to destroy their Lives and Testimonies in the Truth of Jesus Oh! what shame is this that W.R. and such as own him in his Writing and Publishing of his Book should call it The Christian Quaker c. when it is manifest to the wise in Heart that it was written from a worse Spirit than that of Ham who uncovered his Father's Nakedness to his Brethren and therefore was accursed Now Ham what he did may be said to be a hasty rash Action done on a suddain without Premeditation but W.R. his Work is far worse for he hath long premeditated and laboured to bring forth his Wicked Book in Print and by so doing hath endeavoured to uncover the Nakedness of such as once he counted his Brethren and Elders or Fathers whom God hath clothed but he hath as it were endeavoured to present them naked to the view of the whole World by the Publishing of his Book which already has been read and perused by People Priests and Professors who are great Enemies to the Truth and so at once has gratified them all by Printing and Publishing his Wicked Book against Gods faithful Servants but that alwayes was the Work of the Enemy in all Ages to do Wickedly For Cain Apostatizing from the Faith and Fear of God became Wroth because God accepted his Brother Abel's Offering and rejected his and therefore he turned against him and slew him Of this Line of Cain is W.R. and his Abettors and not of the Line of Abel for he envyed not nor hated his Brother nor sought to do him the least Injury so that his Wicked Brother Cain sell upon him without a Just cause as now W.R. does in Print against Gods faithful Servants whose Offerings are pure before the Lord and Ti●e will clear their Innocency that in what they do they seek God's Glory and the Prosperity of his blessed Truth Well this Blood will cry for Vengeance to God against W.R. and his Adherents as ever the Blood of Righteous Abel cryed against Cain for Murdering him Cain murdered his Brother's Body but W.R. does what in him lies to shed and let out the Life of his Brethrens Souls by rendring them Dead and Apostatized from the Truth that lives forever Those Apostates and Innovators Korah Dathan and Abiram and their Company with the Hundred and Fifty Princes of the Assembly
