AN ANSWER TO Doctor Good So called His DIALOGVE against those call'd QUAKERS Wherein he hath Forged the QUAKER AND Confuted HIMSELF Which Dialogue of Tho. Good 's is in his Book Intituled Firmianus and Dubitantius or certain Dialogues concerning Atheism Infidelity Popery and other Heresies and Schisms which trouble the Peace of the Church c. By Edward Bourn The Bows of the Mighty Men are broken and they that stumbled are girt with Strength 1 Sam. 2. 4. Printed in the Year 1675. AN ANSWER TO Doctor Good So called c. Tho. Good FRiend Thou hast dialogued against the Quakers to render them odious to the VVorld but our Innocency who are called Quakers will clear us of the Reproach thou castest upon us who wouldst insinuate that to become a Quaker is the ready VVay to become a Papist For first sayst thou in the Beginning of thy Dialogue against the Quakers with Firmianus say'st thou You have informed me in our last Discourse that being sometime a Quaker you had a ready Way open to become a Papist Answ What Ground or Reason gives Firmianus to say so We find no Reason Firmianus gives for so saying a poor and silly Business may we say it is to say To be a Quaker is a ready Way to become a Papist and to shew no better Reason for thy so saying then thou hast done in thy Dialogue surely the Papists and thee are very wide in your Opinions herein surely we believe if it should come to the Tryal between thee and us it will be found that thou art more one with the Papists in thy Practice then the Quakers and therefore it will appear that the Way thou art in is a more ready Way to become a Papist then to be in the Way those called Quakers are in Further in thy Dubitantius where thou answerest thy Firmianus thou hast many scornful and disdainful Expressions not becoming a grave Man or a Man of Gravity which some have taken thee to be and so shewest thy self to be sitting in the Seat of the Scorner But blessed is the Man that walketh not in the Counsel of the Vngodly nor standeth in the Way of Sinners nor sitteth in the Seat of the Scornful c. See Psal 1. 1. c. And if thou wouldst be blessed thou must come forth out of the Seat of the Scorner and fear the Lord God and not be as such who open their Mouthes in Blasphemy against Heaven and them that dwell therein I judge I need not mention thy scornful Expressions nor say more in Answer to them in this Place because I know that People who fear God and are acquainted with our Principles and know our Conversations will judge that thou hast Dialogued thus against us without a just Cause for which I say the Lord rebuke thee Further sayes Firmianus How could you be deceived by such painted Sepulchres What could you see more in them then what was conspicuous in the Scribes and Pharisees of old Take it for and Infallible Rule that whosoever hold or practise any Thing which is contrary to the Law of Nature good Manners express Scriptures the Vsages of all sober and civil People in the World are so far from being True Christians that they are not worthy the Name of Men. Answ Here is a high Charge against us which if Firmianus or Tho. Good could prove according to what he hath charged upon us then should we be much to blame But what if his Charge in every Particular be false herein surely then it will follow that Tho. Good doth much deserve to be blamed for using his Pen thus against the Innocent and indeed I must tell Tho. Good that he hath falsly accused us herein for comparing us with such whom Christ compared unto painted Sepulchres he cannot make good his Charge against us therein but ought to take it home to himself he being more like these and more one with them then we whom Christ Jesus the Light of the World cryed Wo against for whereas he chargeth us for holding and practising Things contrary to the Law of Nature good Manners express Scripture the Usages of all sober and civil People in the World I say these are false Accusations and he himself by the Scriptures may be prov'd guilty of all those Accusations he falsly chargeth upon us and therefore let T. G. in Time to come have a Care and be wiser then to go about such a bad Work as this is wherein he hath grosly slandered and falsly accused the Innocent and be humbled before the Lord and repent of the Evil he hath committed herein and for the Satisfaction of such as are sober-minded let them read Mat. 23. and see who it is that is contrary to Christ Jesus and Breakers of the Law of God our Accuser or us and who is contrary to the Scriptures and read John 5. 41 42 43 44. c. And let the Witness of God in People unto which we do commend our selves judge between our Accuser and us for that will judge righteously and not according to that which is right in Appearance but is indeed contrary to what it doth appear to be And whereas thou speakest of perusing Priest Danson's Book Danson's Book is answered and all his Lyes thrown back upon his Head as thou may'st see in the Answer and thy Dialogue is rather a Forgery which thou and it are stuft with Lyes which come from the Father of them and not from God Thou say'st That they affirm that there are not three Persons in the Trinity Answ We desire thee to shew us Chapter and Verse for these Words and let us see whether thou walkest according to Scripture in these Words and in these Terms and see whether thou hast not presumed above what was written There are three that bear Record in Heaven the Father and the Word and the Holy Ghost these three are one and this we own in Scripture-Language according to John ' s Doctrine c. Thou say'st that we say That Christ did not make Satisfaction for the Sins of Men. Answ This is another lying Forgery for by one Offering he hath perfected forever them that are sanctified and we are not redeemed with corruptible Things but with the Blood of Jesus Christ as of a Lamb without Spot and we have an Advocate with the Father Jesus Christ the Righteous and he is the Reconciliation for our Sins and not for our Sins only but for the Sins of the whole World And thou say'st that we say That Justification is not by Imputed Righteousness and good Works are the Cause of our Justification Answ Here are more Lyes again and thou abusest Peoples Minds and the Press with them for Christ Jesus is our Righteousness and Sanctification and Redemption God hath made him so and we are justified freely by his Grace through the Redemption that is in Christ Jesus and therefore By the Works of the Law there is no Flesh justified Rom. 3. 23.
