A47166	Quakerism no popery, or, A particular answere to that part of Iohn Menzeis, professor of divinity in Aberdeen, (as he is called) his book, intituled Roma mendax Wherein the people called Quakers are concerned, whom he doth accuse as holding many popish doctrins, and as if Quakerism, (so he nick-names our religion,) were but popery-disguised. In which treatise his alleadged grounds for this his assertion, are impartialy and fairly examined and confuted: and also his accusation of popery against us, justly retorted upon himself, and his bretheren.

can_v be_v the_o antichrist_n yea_o the_o great_a antichrist_n be_v to_o reconcile_v the_o great_a contradiction_n as_o who_o will_v say_v whiteness_n be_v blackness_n life_n be_v death_n not_o do_v it_o suffice_v to_o say_v as_o a_o thing_n can_v be_v partly_o white_a and_o partly_o black_a so_o the_o pope_n may_v be_v partly_o christian_n and_o partly_o antichristian_a for_o to_o be_v the_o great_a antichrist_n as_o i._n m._n suppose_v he_o to_o be_v in_o the_o case_n and_o i_o be_o sure_a former_o use_v real_o to_o judge_v he_o so_o be_v to_o be_v whole_o antichristian_a and_o not_o partly_o now_o a_o thing_n can_v be_v partly_o such_o and_o whole_o the_o contrary_a and_o beside_o i._o m_n know_v out_o of_o his_o own_o school_n rule_v that_o the_o essence_n of_o thing_n be_v indivisible_a and_o so_o can_v be_v part_v as_o for_o example_n the_o essence_n of_o a_o horse_n be_v so_o indivisible_a that_o we_o can_v say_v a_o horse_n can_v be_v partly_o a_o horse_n and_o partly_o a_o ass_n for_o a_o live_a creature_n that_o be_v generate_v of_o a_o horse_n and_o a_o ass_n be_v neither_o a_o horse_n nor_o a_o ass_n but_o a_o three_o kind_n three_o moreover_o see_v i._n m._n affirm_v that_o the_o roman_a church_n have_v neither_o doctrinal_a nor_o personal_a succession_n some_o of_o the_o pope_n have_v take_v the_o chair_n by_o force_n some_o by_o fraud_n some_o by_o simony_n some_o by_o magical_a arts._n it_o be_v manifest_a then_o that_o she_o have_v no_o real_a and_o lawful_a succession_n at_o all_o but_o mere_o usurp_v even_o as_o if_o a_o ordinary_a thief_n or_o robber_n shall_v by_o theft_n or_o violence_n steal_v or_o rob_v the_o right_n of_o any_o civil_a authority_n and_o fraudulent_o insert_v his_o name_n to_o be_v king_n how_o can_v this_o usurper_n who_o have_v no_o lawful_a authority_n convey_v it_o down_o to_o other_o and_o here_o let_v we_o see_v if_o i._n m._n his_o distinction_n can_v do_v any_o good_a he_o convey_v it_o down_o not_o as_o a_o thief_n or_o a_o robber_n but_o as_o have_v the_o king_n be_v good_n ay_o but_o i_o ask_v how_o he_o have_v the_o king_n good_n it_o be_v by_o steal_v of_o they_o and_o consequent_o as_o a_o thief_n and_o yet_o according_a to_o the_o distinction_n not_o as_o a_o thief_n so_o both_o as_o a_o thief_n and_o as_o no_o thief_n which_o be_v a_o contradiction_n and_o indeed_o it_o be_v so_o impossible_a to_o conceive_v that_o a_o man_n can_v be_v a_o thief_n and_o no_o thief_n that_o it_o be_v hard_o to_o conceive_v how_o he_o can_v be_v a_o thief_n and_o a_o honest_a man_n together_o and_o see_v some_o have_v take_v the_o popedom_n by_o simony_n as_o o●e_v well_o observe_v the_o pope_n be_v the_o successor_n rather_o of_o simon_n magus_n then_o of_o simon_n peter_n and_o consequent_o 1_n m._n who_o be_v the_o pope_n successor_n by_o his_o own_o confession_n must_v be_v the_o successor_n of_o simon_n magus_n also_o i_o desire_v he_o not_o to_o be_v offend_v for_o i_o call_v not_o he_o so_o only_o i_o tell_v he_o what_o i_o judge_v to_o follow_v from_o his_o own_o assertion_n and_o indeed_o i_o be_o a_o shame_v that_o he_o shall_v derive_v either_o his_o own_o or_o any_o other_o of_o the_o protestant_n call_v or_o ordination_n through_o so_o unclean_a a_o conduit_n as_o the_o great_a antichrist_n and_o through_o confess_v symoniack_n magician_n and_o negromancers_a yea_o through_o papesse_fw-la joan_n a_o vile_a harlot_n sure_o i_o be_o the_o most_o famous_a of_o the_o primitive_a protestant_n abhor_v such_o a_o thing_n and_o if_o at_o any_o time_n any_o of_o they_o allege_v that_o outward_a ordination_n it_o be_v but_o one_fw-mi argument_n ad_fw-la hominem_fw-la as_o we_o use_v to_o say_v by_o way_n of_o retortion_n to_o stop_v the_o papist_n mouth_n otherwise_o acknowledge_v their_o call_n to_o be_v extraordinary_a and_o immediate_a as_o calvin_n beza_n sadeel_v fulk_n and_o many_o other_o and_o i_o believe_v that_o distinction_n of_o quoad_fw-la substantiam_fw-la and_o quoad_fw-la modum_fw-la never_o come_v into_o their_o head_n for_o they_o hade_fw-mi no_o need_n of_o it_o and_o many_o of_o the_o first_o reformer_n without_o all_o question_n hade_fw-mi no_o owtward_a ordination_n nor_o call_v at_o all_o see_v they_o be_v not_o all_o in_o order_n who_o be_v the_o first_o reformer_n not_o so_o much_o as_o priest_n but_o layman_n and_o be_v among_o the_o first_o they_o can_v not_o be_v ordain_v by_o protestant_a minister_n see_v none_n be_v to_o ordain_v they_o but_o last_o see_v i_o m._n do_v hold_v that_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n do_v err_v fundamentaly_n and_o do_v so_o before_o the_o reformation_n as_o in_o be_v guilty_a of_o gross_a idolatry_n in_o worship_v a_o piece_n of_o bread_n for_o the_o true_a god_n beside_o other_o fundamental_a error_n he_o can_v in_o reason_n hold_v she_o for_o a_o true_a church_n see_v a_o fundamental_a error_n destroy_v the_o nature_n of_o a_o true_a church_n otherwise_o he_o may_v say_v the_o turk_n be_v a_o true_a church_n now_o if_o she_o be_v not_o a_o true_a church_n she_o can_v not_o convey_v ordination_n because_o it_o be_v a_o thing_n only_o proper_a to_o a_o true_a church_n for_o if_o a_o false_a church_n can_v ordain_v than_o the_o mahumetant_n may_v ordain_v or_o indeed_o the_o most_o abominable_a people_n in_o the_o world_n see_v they_o be_v a_o false_a church_n as_o well_o as_o she._n but_o it_o seem_v for_o all_o this_o i._o m._n hold_v she_o to_o be_v a_o true_a church_n or_o at_o least_o a_o church_n true_o if_o not_o vera_n yet_o vere_n strange_a and_o ridicolous_a distinction_n as_o to_o say_v not_o a_o true_a horse_n but_o true_o a_o horse_n not_o true_a gold_n but_o true_o gold_n not_o true_a fire_n but_o true_o fire_n whoever_o first_o invent_v this_o distinction_n seem_v plain_o not_o to_o have_v be_v in_o his_o right_a wit_n for_o indeed_o every_o thing_n be_v both_o true_a and_o true_o what_o it_o

antichrist_n sit_v in_o the_o temple_n of_o god_n therefore_o rome_n where_o the_o pope_n antichrist_n sit_v be_v the_o temple_n of_o god._n to_o this_o it_o be_v easy_a to_o answer_v that_o it_o be_v one_o thing_n to_o be_v the_o temple_n of_o god_n de_fw-fr jure_fw-la another_o thing_n de_fw-fr facto_fw-la i_o confess_v rome_n be_v the_o church_n of_o god_n de_fw-fr jure_fw-la of_o right_a and_o that_o in_o a_o special_a way_n as_o have_v be_v former_o a_o true_a and_o faithful_a church_n of_o god_n and_o though_o antichrist_n have_v step_v in_o and_o take_v usurpation_n yet_o the_o lord_n lose_v not_o his_o right_n she_o be_v still_o his_o de_fw-la jure_fw-la or_o of_o right_n and_o so_o be_v the_o other_o place_n where_o the_o gospel_n once_o flourish_v as_o jerusalem_n and_o alexandria_n now_o overrun_v with_o paganism_n or_o mahumetanism_n all_o these_o place_n be_v as_o much_o the_o temple_n of_o god_n as_o rome_n de_fw-fr jure_fw-la and_o yet_o i_o suppose_v i._n m._n will_v not_o say_v that_o de_fw-fr facto_fw-la they_o be_v the_o temple_n of_o god_n so_o that_o by_o a_o easy_a metonymy_n rome_n may_v be_v call_v the_o temple_n of_o god_n both_o as_o to_o what_o she_o shall_v be_v and_o as_o to_o what_o she_o once_o be_v even_o a●_n britain_n be_v call_v the_o king_n dominion_n and_o he_o king_n of_o britain_n in_o the_o time_n of_o his_o exile_n because_o

more_o prove_v that_o rome_n be_v the_o church_n of_o god_n than_o those_o pagan_n be_v the_o church_n of_o god_n because_o they_o live_v in_o a_o place_n where_o once_o the_o church_n of_o god_n be_v and_o indeed_o if_o we_o take_v antichrist_n more_o strict_o as_o he_o be_v a_o spirit_n proper_o the_o temple_n where_o he_o sit_v be_v man_n heart_n there_o oppose_v the_o spirit_n of_o christ_n
