ONE OF ANTICHRISTS VOLUNTIERS DEFEATED AND THE TRUE LIGHT VINDICATED AMongstall the opposers of the truth that yet hath appeared among the black army of the old Dragon who like the Philistims hath alwayes defied Israels God and also their camp through their ostentation and boasting and with their clamorous loud cryes in the ears of the people like Rabshekah to dishearten and dismay Israel none hath appeared more out-ragious and virulent then one who subscribes himselfe R. I. who in vindication of his brethren in iniquity Edward Dod drunkard and Samuel Smith an unprofitable talker otherwise called a Minister at Cresige who hath preached that which he calls the Gospel there divers years and yet sees no fruit at all and yet this impudent R. I. whom I beleeve to be another dreamer like him for his language do manifest him to belong to mistery Babilon the great City the mother of Harlots he saith One may minister and preach the Gospel and the people not be profited at all as Samuel Smith hath done at Cresige And he saith farther that they are barren professors yet saith R. I. that S. S. need not be abashed at it And for instance he saith Was Pauls preaching of less credit because there were many Runnagates in the end shewed themselves hypocrites yet this comparison will not excuse S. S. neither E. D. nor R. I. who would cover them with an old patched Cloak some peices he hath scraped up out of Aesop's Fables a book full of lies and altogether compacted and patched up of fictions and some out of Ovid Seneca Heathens in their own account the like frivolous stories and Plato and Diogenes they must serve for a covering if it will to the two former opposers of truth but stay R. I. Did Paul stay seven years in any place and saw no fruit And though there were many unbeleevers among the Jews notwithstanding the publication of the word and the miracles of Christ yet some beleeved and though the Apostles and Ministers of Christ laboured in the work of the Lord yet some beleeved and clave unto them but there is no fruit at Cresige at all but they are barren professors as R. I. saith but if this will not serve take another of R. I. his arguments That God sends his word sometimes for the hardning of people and upon this account S. S. teaching and Ministry must be kept in credit A sad thing for the people of Cresige that they should hire a man for seven years together and pay him wages for hardning of their hearts and for counting them barren professors yet I judge S. S. E. D. R. I. counted them fruitful and abounding in zeale and fervency to God when they came into the meeting of the Quakers some ringing Pans some Candlesticks and Frying pans and throwing water like people void of understanding and saith this R. I. these yeelded a better sound then the Quakers So that thou may see what will not this R. I. vindicate and what wickednesse as can be acted and spoken here they may look for a shelter rather then they shall want a Guardian as Pictures images crosses cuffs ribons lace and such other like things invented by the Devil to draw people from serving and worshipping the living God R. I. will patronize them all being brought forth and when they are not brought forth he will reach forth his hand to help to elevate iniquity and to under-prop the Devils kingdom which is exalted in the children of disobedience as all along may be seen in his Fabulous Scrole called Ignis Fatuus when like his two brethren before him he goes about to vindicate Idolatry Images Hirelings Mass-houses Cuffs and Ribons Tithes Flattering Titles and vain Customs and Popish practices Pride Persecution and lying all those things he pleads for and hath used many vain arguments and false interpretations of Scripture so that the two former it may truly be said they have done wickedly but this R. I. exceeds them all who is so stout hearted against the truth and power of God that whatsoever he can invent in his corrupt heart against it and gathers up the rest of the Priests lies that they have vomited up before and cast in the face of truth and tenders them as good proof and some Scriptures perverted with Aesop's Fables and Ovid and Diogenes stories and upon such materials he hath framed his book called Ignus Fatuus which he hath writ in vindication of E. D. his book called A pair of Spectacles for a dark-sighted Quaker and S. S. Malice striped and whipt three Pamphlets whole Title will discover what the substance of their matter is and whose work they drive on so that I need not say much some of them vindicating persecution and incouraging the rude behaviour of the people another mocking at innocency and scorneth them who trembles at the word of the Lord and last of all R. I. who hath made a Fortresse for both the other and hath cast up a heap of confused darknesse to guard his brethren he mocks at the light within and calls it Ignis Fatuus and the law which is light which God hath promised to write in his peoples hearts this he calls an imperfect thing and therefore to be ruled and not fit to be a rule of the Saints as may be seen in the 55 page of his book and so ha●h spoken contrary to the Spirit and Scripture of truth Prov 6. and the law of the Lord which is the law that endureth for ever this saith R. I. is imperfect and the letter or law without written is perfect and is a standard as R. I. saith for all controversies then if it be so perfect and so fit to decide all controversies why doth R. I. borrow his proofs and raise his arguments from Aesop's Fables Ovids stories Plato and Diogenes discourses and to omit Seneca because R. I. saith Ambrose hath
