Geo. Fox's Queries to the Doctors and Scholars of Europe by which thou maist see how learnedly George Fox Catechizes them I shall now only add a few of them as they lie scattered up and down the said Primer c. and so leave him in his Thicket of Brambles or confused Nonsense What is a Major What is a Minor What is Extraction What is Geometry What is a Point What is an Angle What is a Plain Angle What is an Obtuse Angle What is an Acute Angle What is Wolf-Madness What is Dog Madness What is Badger-Madness c. Having given this additional Hint of these mad distracted or distracting Queries I shall only add a few of his Manly Expressions in his Chalenge to to the Doctors to come out of their Holes and Dens to the end That he and the rest may come forth and draw their Weapons and shew their Cunning when they see how they are chalenged as they chalenged others c. See these Pages in the said Primer pag. 4 19 21 30 36 41 55. Where are these Words viz. These Queries are to call them out into the Field Let them come out now to little Children Little Davids are risen who have the Bags and the Sings and the Srones Ye that profess your selves to be Wise and Learned Men and Scholars and are Novices and Fools answer me Draw out your Weapon if you have any and answer me these things come out of your Holes do not Hip nor Skip from them Answer every word in particular for you have Tongue enough sometimes let us see now if it can wagg These are your Words to the Scholars c. Now if when you are call'd into the Field your selves and to come out of your Dens we shall see whether you can draw your Weapon whether you have the Bags the Sling and Stones you like Goliah boast of and whether he and you can so wagg your Tongue as to clear you from this Ninth Instance of Hypocrisie with which he and you stand charged The X. Instance of their Hypocrisie THis I know for a certain Truth that when they write the most notorious Lies and scandalous Defamations against such as they account their Adversaries and like the false Prophets of old cry Peace to the wicked and justifie the ungodly who put into their Mouths yet this they have the impudence to father upon the Spirit of the holy and just GOD Witness Geo. Whitehead's Book Stil'd Judgment fix'd c. And S. Cater's Narrative c. And therefore that I may not be like you in saying and not prove what I say to be true I do hereby chalenge George Fox Geo. Whitehead William Pen and Sam. Cater to meet me any day next March giving me a Month's Notice at any Publick House in Bishop-Stortford being about the half-way from my Habitation where I offer to prove the Truth of what you deny according to the Terms proposed in the foresaid Letter to the Quakers c. Now therefore if your Cause be good you Notable Champions come forth you that have chalenged all the Doctors Scholars and Professors in Europe come out of your Holes and Dens and Lurking-Places and meet me If you have the Bags and the Slings and the Stones you boast of come forth of your Holes and Dens and Lurking-Places yea come into the Field and draw your Weapons if you have any worth the drawing you know you have Tongue enough sometimes come let us see if it can wagg and whether you be able with all your Stones and Bags and Slings and Weapons you so much boast of to clear your selves from the guilt of Hypocrisie For The Day is come O Babylon that thou must be tried and thy Mask must be taken off thou Painted-Harlot Thou ●hast long deceived the Nations by thy fine out-side Deckings and Pharisaical Attire but thy Fruit makes thee manifest and by that we know thee to be the Harlot and not the Spouse of Christ nor true Bride Men do not gather Figs of Thorns nor Grapes of Thistles Mildenhall Novemb. 5th 1690. Francis Bugg Here follow Twenty four Queries propounded to your Protestant Hearers who have begun to throw off the Yoak which Geo. Fox G. W. c. have for many Years laden you with And first a few Words to you by way of Exhortation FRIENDS IT was Christ's frequent Counsel to his Disciples to beware of the Leaven of the Pharisees which said he is Hypocrisie I know no one thing that He took more care to preserve his Disciples from than that of Hypocrisie with which the Pharisees were very apt to leaven their Proselytes No doubt but much of their Doctrine was sound or else Christ would not have said They sate in Moses 's Seat Therefore whatsoever said he they bid you do that observe and do But mark do not after their Works for they say and do not That is to say they spake some sound Truths they carried it fair to their Proselytes they were very precise in washing the Cup and Platter in an Outside Righteousness to be seen of Men but inwardly they were rotten inwardly they were proud and disdained others who in GOD's Esteem stood justified rather than they And how far your Teachers are guilty of deep Hypocrisie I have in part discovered and doubt not but to make it yet more evident if they will meet me which if they refuse being four such Champions as they doubtless account themselves then I will appeal to you whether it be not a Token of their Guilt I mean such of you as still retain the Protestant Principles and are not of G. Fox his Party Query 1. Whether it was not great Hypocrisie in Geo. Fox to stir up counsel and encourage Oliver Cromwell his Officers and Army to fight with carnal Weapons when at the same time he did believe it utterly unlawful for a Christian Man so to do Answer Query 2. Whether it was not great Hypocrisie in Geo. Fox and others to vilifie bespatter and expose the Presbyterians Independents c. as being of fighting Principles and dangerous to the Government in K. C. II's time thereby rendring them obnoxious to Sufferings whenas they themselves by their Advice Counsel and Encouragement to Oliver Cromwel c. and that from the Word of the LORD were equally concerned in the same Cause and Quarrel Query 3. Do you believe that Arch-bishop Cranmer compelled Edward VI. to sign a Warrant to Burn poor Joan of Kent for Were Religion-sake and that by this their Practice they Taught the Roman Catholicks the way of Persecution Answer Query 4. If not Then Whether or no such of your Leaders as have so writ have not given away the Cause of Protestantism what in them lie and abetted vindicated and asserted the Popish Cause charging the Protestants with the original guilt of Persecution Answer Query 5. Whether Geo. Whitehead's calling the Doctrine of Doctor Robert Barns who suffered Martyrdom for the Cause of Christ Corrupt Doctrine tending to

practical Ranterism it self yea sordid Ranterism * See p 259. of G W's Judgment fix'd c against the 222 223 Pages of my Book De Chr. Lib. c. Which are the Words of Dr. Barns See the 298 Page in his Book entiluled Mens Constitutions not grounded on Scripture bind not the Conscience c. verbatim c. be not a sign that he is Popishly affected c. And whether G. W. do not herein appear like his Brother Deceased viz Bloody Bonner Who frequently charged the Martyrs with such Doctrine as I could shew were it pertinent I say in this do they not resemble each other as if they were Twins Query 6. Whether it be not as commendable to Address King William and Queen Mary who are by all Men acknowledged true Protestants as it was to Address the late King who acknowledged himself a Roman Catholick Query 7. Whether it be not as lawful for Book-sellers to sell Protestant-Books even such as discover the Hypocrisie of the Teachers and Leaders of Geo. Fox and his Party as for Benj. Clark their Book-seller to sell Play-Books Ballads Papist-Books Gypsy-Books yea and Ba Books Answer Query 8. Whether it be not great Hypocrisie to pretend to Preach Teach Suffer Write and Record Marriages and other things freely and under colour thereof condemn all other Churches and Societies as Hirelings Lovers of filthy Lucre Followers of Balaam for Reward c. and yet at the same time take Money Gifts and Rewards themselves for doing the same things c Answer Query 9. Whether it was not great Hypocrisie in Geo. Fox c. to write Queries to all Doctors and Scholars in Europe and yet when Queries are propounded to them they will not answer If they tell you they are as ready to Answer Queries as to ask then let them Answer my 15 Queries proposed in De Christ Lib. p. 72 to p. 78. p. 154 to p. 163. and in Paint Harlot p. 40 41. if they can Query 10. Whether it be not great Deceit for Men to write a Book and pretend a Concern of Conscience that they do it for GOD's Glory and as moved thereunto by the Eternal Spirit and yet to write such abominable Lies Slanders and scandalous Defamations as that they dare not or are ashamed to own their said Books Query 11. Whether it was not great Presumption in Geo. Fox and a Badge of intolerable Pride to put forth a Book with 2434 Queries in it when he himself cannot answer the odd 34 of them Query 12. Whether it was not great Impudene in Geo. Fox in his Battledoor to set his Hand and affix his Name to six or more Foreign Languages as Latine Greek Hebrew Italian Chaldee Syriack c. and yet understand not one of them Query 13. Whether it was not great Hypocrisie for Geo. Whitehead Stephen Crisp William Penn c. to make a Law or Edict at their General Meeting at London May 75. That their Hearers should constantly meet and not Decline Forsake nor Remove their Meetings like Worldly Fearful and Politick Professors and yet themselves refused to stand in a like suffering capacity relating to Sufferings with them Answer Query 14. Whether it be not great Hypocrisie in Geo. Fox and his Party to say That GOD respects neither Time Place nor Persons and thereupon pretend That for Conscience-sake they cannot give respect to their Superiours by putting off their Hats when at the same time they themselves compel their Apprentices to stand bare-headed before them * This Piece of Hypocrisie I testified against more than Fifteen Years since by a Letter to the then Yearly Meeting which was before S. Cater and I had any Controversie See my Book Entituled Innocency Vindicated and Envy rebuked c. p. 8. nay in their very Shops as if it were the Presence-Chamber Query 15. Did not Christ when he Taught his Disciples to pray Mat. 6.9 say After this manner therefore Pray ye Our Father c. And forgive us our Sins as we also forgive them that trespass against us Now such as do not pray after this manner are they not manifest Transgressors of this Precept of our LORD Jesus Christ and found in the steps of the proud Pharisee who thinks himself so righteous as that he need neither make confession of his Sins nor ask forgiveness for Christ Jesus sake in whose Name alone is Remission of Sins Query 16. If you grant that a neglect or Refusal of performing this part of Christian Duty be a sign of a Pharisaical Pride * See my Book Entituled The Quakers detected c. p. 12 13 14. Where I have enlarged upon this their grand Errour To what I have writ in that Book let the Reader observe W. Tindal who says in his Works entituled The Exposition of the 6th Chapter of Matthew pag. 222 223. Because he knoweth that our Nature is so weak and inclinable to Sin therefore he teacheth us daily to repent and daily to ask GOD Forgiveness Seeing He commandeth us to ask we may be bold so to do and to believe He will FORGIVE us No Man therefore needeth to despair I hope they will not rail on this blessed Martyr W. Tindal who suffered in the Flames as Geo. Whitehead did of the Doctrine of Dr. Rob. Barns who called it corrupt Doctrine tending to Ranterism yea sordid Ranterism then I do farther Query What is the Reason that Geo. Fox Geo. Whitehead and the rest of their Preachers in their publick Prayers in your Assembly do not pray after the manner that Christ hath prescribed though not in the very Form of Words yet after His Precept so as to confess their Sins to GOD and ask Forgiveness for Christ's sake which they do not Query 17. Seeing Edward Burroughs in his Epistle writ at Dublin To the Camp of the LORD in England p. 2. This is to go amongst Friends printed 1656. says You who are called Quakers above all the Families of the Earth The Tabernacle of GOD is with you and his Dwelling Place is among you And only among you is God known c. Now if so that GOD be known Only by you then the Query is Whether all that be called Quakers know the LORD And whether none but the Quakers know the Lord Answer to this c. The Answer to this Question will resolve Whether Geo. Fox who said in his Book The Great Mystery c. and Solomon Eccles his Affirmation in The Quaker's Challenge pag. 6. that you and you Only are GOD's People I say whether you all be as John Field one of your Preachers says you are of One Mind and Judgment in this and all other Matters Query 18. Whether there did not a strong Delusion enter many about the Year 1659. As that Geo. Fox was inspired with the Gift of Tongues and whether the recited Battledoor and Primer was not the Reason of that Opinion and if it come to be made appear as that it will if he will meet at
