aforesaid Charge and he ought to repent of the same and it s well hoped he will not justifie himself in it nor any for him but condemn his weakness in so doing Objection 2. It s alledged G. W. indeavoured to cover and cloak gross Errors in divers Persons that are dead and gone as also in some that are yet living c. Answer G. W. is supposed to be guilty in part of the aforesaid Charge and it s hoped he may see his Weakness in so doing for the Christian Quaker in general testifieth against all Error not only in themselves but in all others in whomsoever it appears believing there is no more Affinity between Truth and Error than there is between Light and Darkness which are manifest to be too opposite Beings Objection 3. Whereas F. Bugg accuses G. W. of endeavouring to cover several Errors in Thomas Fitzwater Robert Young and Thomas Lloyd in Pensilvania whose unsound Expressions are as inserted in his New Rome Arraigned c. pag. 37. quoted by F. B. God that died in us and laid down thy Life in us and took it up again c. And that when Christ ascended he was separated from his Body That Faith in Christ without us as he died for our Sins and rose again was not necessary to our Salvation Answer The said T. Fitzwater R. Young and T. Lloyd are guilty of high Blasphemy for their so saying and are greatly to be blamed for their said unsound Expressions and all true Christian Quakers do condemn them for the same and do further declare That if G. W. or any others do wink or connive at the aforesaid blasphemous Expressions he or they are judged to be equally guilty with them But it s hoped or at least-wise desired that G. W. and others will give out a Christian Testimony against them for it and others for their speaking Irreverently of the Person of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ as also against their Persecution of G. Keith T. Budd and others It s here testified against by and on the behalf of all the true Christian Believers who are in scorn called Quakers notwithstanding the Ignorance of any pretended Member whose Folly ought not to be laid on the Body of the People whether he be a pretended Preacher or Hearer F. Bugg's three Charges against the Quakers cited and answered Charge the First says F. B. the Quakers denies him who was born of the Virgin Mary who suffered Death upon the Cross at Jerusalem who rose again the third Day and ascended into Heaven in the sight of the Galileans to be Christ the Saviour of the World Answer The aforesaid Charge is false as to his laying it on the general perhaps it may be undeniably true upon some that are either dead or alive for ought I know but I am sure he is much to be blamed for laying his Charge so general but the said Citation is owned professed and believed by all sincere Christian Quakers therefore his Charge must needs be false Notwithstanding if any pretended Member that may be dead or yet is in being did ever deny Jesus of Nazareth to be the Saviour of the World he is disowned for the same and deemed no less than guilty of Blasphemy in the superlative degree For the true Christian Quaker expects Salvation by no other but by and through Faith in the heavenly Man Christ Jesus therefore F. B.'s aforesaid Charge is false and groundless F. B.'s second Charge They deny says F. B. meaning the Quakers the Scriptures by speaking contemptuously of them c. Answer The whole Charge is false The true Christian Quaker owns the Scriptures and prefers them above all Books Papers or Epistles extant in the whole World and if any ignorant Man or Men hath at any time spoken contemptuously of them he is greatly to be blamed and the Christian Quaker denies Fellowship with all them that have in any measure so done F. B.'s third Charge That their Teachers are Deceivers of the People Favorers of Blasphemy and of a different Faith from the Apostles Primitive Christians and blessed Martyrs and Excusers of Idolatry and that their Doctrin tends to overthrow the Christian Faith Answer The Matter of the aforesaid Charge is a Lie upon them viz. all true Christian Quakers whom God has given the Gift of the Ministry their Work hath been and now is to undeceive the People and condem Idolatry and the Worshippers thereof to exhort them to the true Faith that 's agreeable to the Faith of the Apostles Primitive Christians and blessed Martyrs according as is testified in Scripture If any pretended Member that hath run before his Guide or run and the Lord never sent them hath at any time asserted a contrary Doctrine he is disowned for the same therefore the Error of any unsound or unqualified Person ought not to be charged in that manner as it seems to be viz. on the People in general The fourth Charge Whereas F. B. accuse● Josiah Coal and John Audland of giving Divine Attributes and Blasphemous Titles to G. Fox uncondemned and still justified or excused which said Titles F. B. hath largly cited divers times in divers of his printed Books for which reason the Citations are not here inserted being too well known to the World already Answer The said Josiah Coal and John Audland were guilty of Blasphemy in so doing and it was a wonderful great Error in them and a greater in G. Fox for not reproving them if he did not Its further granted That if any should Justifie the said J. Coal and J. Audland in their giving of it or G. F. in the not reproving it they are all deemed equally guilty of Blasphemy in a high degree both the Givers the Receiver and the Justifier for attributing that to a Mortal Corrupt Man which was due to none but to our supreme Lord and Master Christ Jesus the Saviour of the World F. Bugg 's fifth Charge wherein he accuseth E. Burrowgh George Fox Rob. Sandiland George Whitehead and others of giving base and scurrilous Language calling others ill Names c. Answer It s thought most requisite to return an Answer to the aforesaid Charge in these following Words viz. to call Names for or about Religion are no Christians of Christ's making See more at large W. Pen's Address to Protestants c. p. 242. therefore it s condemned by the true Christian Quaker in them that so do F. B's sixth Charge against G. Fox cited out of a Book entituled A Battledore for Teachers and Professors All Languages are to me says G. F. no more than Dust who was before Languages were Introduct Again p. 214. And next follows a few Words to the whole Matter by G. Fox who was before Confusion or the many Languages were Answer If G. Fox did hold the Doctrine of the pre-existence of human Souls when he writ the aforesaid Citation he is not so much to be blamed as he is if he spoke in reference to his
