False Fictions AND ROMANCES REBUKED In Answer to Pretended Matter Charged against the QUAKER in a Book Intituled The Progress of Sin c. Written by B. K. His Lies and Slanders therein returned back upon him and the Speakers of YEA and NAY in Truth Vindicated By JAMES PARK Psal 7. 14. Behold he Travelleth with Iniquity he hath conceived Mischief and brought forth Falshood Ibid. v. 16. His Mischief shall return upon his own Head c. LONDON Printed in the Year 1684. False FICTIONS and ROMANCES Rebuked c. I Have lately met with a Book intituled The Progress of Sin c. it appears to be written by the Author of War with the Devil in the Title Page for his Name is only set B. K. towards the latter end of his Progress of Sin he seems concerned in his Majestical Attempts to Try Condemn and Execute Tyrant Sin as he calls it but could not plainly tell how to demonstrate its Nature in any sort of People especially the Quaker whom he Exposeth and Derideth for his speaking Yea and Nay beginning with him by a Misrepresentation of his Zeal and Sanctity then making him speak what I dare say he never said nor can he prove it But however Tryed and Condemned to reproach must the Quaker be by this Baptist Teacher really for what it remaines for him to make appear in his next Progress of Sin if he knew how for in his last he hath come so far short thereof that I think every sollid Christian Reader may apprehend him so baffled in his War with the Devil and Progress of Sin as now set at variance and fighting with his own shaddow and his War with the Quaker is as if he had no skill to make one fair blow at him although his Wicked Fists are lifted up high enough to knock him on the Head at once were not the Angel of Gods Presence with him to keep him in safety from the power of his Fists of Wickedness Sober Men may judge that he might have forborn his barking and biting also at the Quaker at his ravenous rate at such a day of suffering as this is upon all Dissenters from the publick Worship of the Nation what in his Progress of Sin I found by way of Charge against the Quaker I return him this following Answer being as much as I judged Expedient it might deserve Truth or Reallity not appearing in his Proceedings against the Quaker by his Imaginary Court or what he hath printed in his Progress of Sin against him he imagined 't is like it might be some pleasing Food to such of his Brethren that are most in Enmity Prejudice against the Quaker if none else would bite at it or taste it however certain I am it can do good to none plainly proceeding from an Evil Fountain the Father of Falshood Deceit and Lies B. K. in page 241. of thy Progress of Sin c. Thou hast taken upon thee in thy dark Imaginary Mind and Spirit to search for and find out Mr. Erroneous's House as thou call'st it of the Town of Heresie where thou say'st Sin was found hid under the plain Cloak of Yea and Nay with pretended Zeal and seeming Sanctity What! Could'st thou not find out thy Mr. Erroneous's House of the Town of Heresie no where but under the plain Cloak of Yea and Nay as in 〈◊〉 Unrighteous Smite it appears the Quaker thou aim'st thy blow at with thy Fist of Wickedness Errour and Heresie if thou had'st searched for it with the Light of Christ and the Spirit of the Lord thou needest not to have gone so far as the plain Cloak of Yea and Nay to have found it for thou might'st have found it near thee under thy fashionable painted false Cover with thy Multitude of Words that want not Sin nor shall profit the People at all however thou may flatter thy self in thy vain Imagination the true Zeal and Sanctity of the People that have been directed by the Lord and the Rule of Scriptures to Yea and Nay in all our Communication thou can'st not make void and if thou Swear or thy Communication be not Yea and Nay then it cometh of Evil Mat. 5. 37. Thou art so hasty and furious for the Tryal of thy pretended Sin of Errour and Heresie which thou unwarrantably say'st was found under the plain Cloak of Yea and Nay that with thy Fictions and Lies like thy Brother Hicks thou resolvest to dispatch his Tryal to Try and Sentence him that speaks Yea and Nay contrary to his Knowledge of thy intent he having no summons before thy Narrative of the pretended Tryal of him was Printed and thou wast afraid Thou should'st not have Room the Press calling upon thee to Abreviate c. But if thou hadst had true Christian Charity towards the Despised Speakers of Yea and Nay thou wouldst have been more Cautious and Deliberate in thy Proceedings then to Judge and Sentence him and not really to tell him thy Unchristian Design against him Room to Range in I see not how thou couldst want and if thou hadst kept this thy Evil Work from the Press till any Press in London called for it I question its coming at any of them God be thanked the truly Zealous and Sanctified Quaker is not in thy hold as thou imaginest if he were really so no good or comfort hast thou given him cause to expect from thee but what Chief Constables Hand is he in away with thy Fictions and Imaginations be plain if false Forgery and Deceit have not so blinded thee and hardened thy heart that thou knowest not how and what Officers were they thou darkly mentions Doest thou not know that thy Trumpet hath given an un●ertain sound and there is none that are come to that which is certain will hasten to or matter thy unjust and unrighteous Trumpet and Tryal with thy foolish Imagining a Bench. Page 242. thou pretends Sacred Scripture to be Judge of thy Bench attended with so many of thy Imagined Sirs framed up in thy Sensual Mind that seldome if ever hath been known the like to try Tyrant Sin but if all thy Sirs except Anti-Christian Opposition might really have heard the Quakers Just Plea for himself without thy taking upon thee to make up a Judge and Jury of thy own devising most of thy Sirs might have seen just cause to adhere thereunto and not according to thy Evil desire have brought the Quaker in Guilty with Tyrant Sin I know not what or whom thou meanest let them concerned look to that for some other People besides the Quaker thou must also aim at which thou was not so willing plainly to name The Sacred Scripture the Quaker owns the Authority of to discover and condemn Sin and Errour contrary to what thou like thy Brother Hicks in his Dialogues hast forged that upon the Quaker as said by him which he nor thou cannot prove against the Quaker or that it was ever said by him whom thus grosly thou hast
