A30031	New Rome arraigned And out of her own mouth condemned. Containing a farther discovery of the dangerous errors, and pernicious principles of the leaders and teachers of the Foxonian Quakers: which tend to overthrow the Christian faith, to obstruct the Jews conversion, to encourage Mahumetism, and to pervert the right way of the Lord; which whether so or no, deserves the examination and consideration of the Christian ministry of all Protestant Churches, as they tender God's glory, and the good of souls. To which is added, Ten articles of the Christian faith, wrote by Geo. Keith, who was persecuted by the Quakers in Pensilvania for his Christian testimony. The second edition, with some alteration and additions, by Francis Bugg. Licensed, June 18th. 1694.	Bugg, Francis, 1640-1724?; Keith, George, 1639?-1716. aut	1693 (1693)	Wing B5377; ESTC R202485	69,734	77

Lake that burneth and the Pit thou art for to be turned into eternally but thou livest in Philosophy and Logick which are of the Devil G. Fox R. Hubberthorn REMARK Reader Here are some of the Consequences of their erronious Principles in denying the LORD that bought them for after they had erred concerning the Faith and made shipwrack of a good Conscience and denied Christ how soon did they contemn the Scriptures profane his Ordinances revile his Ministers with design no doubt as by the sequel we may perceive to exalt their own Horn. I could not well omit some few of their dreadful Names given to the Publick Ministry in general as elsewhere I have observed But before I sum them up let me add a few more of their Consequences and a little observe what good Names and Divine Attributes they gave to each other for as none ever came near them for railing and reviling stigmatizing and abusing their Opposers as if Hell was broke loose so never did any People exceed them in magnifying each other exalting one another to the Sky nay had they studied many years they could have scarce found out worse words for their Opposers and better and finer and dilicater words high praises and magnifying expressions for themselves and even so they have done by the Scriptures calling them Dust Death Carnal Husk Serpents meat and the like contemptuous Names whilst they have invented most excellent Names for their own Nonsensical Pamphlets and venomous Books fit to corrupt a Nation and destroy a Country as THE WORD OF THE LORD A MESSAGE FROM THE MIGHTY GOD THE WORD OF GOD A LIVING TESTIMONY and a hundred other such like Titles they give to their confused Nonsence to take the eyes and ears of the weak and unstable DANGEROUS CONSEQUENCES OF THEIR ERROURS 8.

REMARK Reader here is Matter enough to write a Volume upon but having treated largely upon some of them in my last I shall only touch briefly upon some of the Heads and so leave them to the Consideration of the wide World First

as the Quakers do account it sufficient But with that worthy Martyr Dr. Robert Barns say Acts and Mon. p. 610. I believe in the holy and blessed Trinity that created and made all the World I believe that without Man's Will or Power Christ Jesus was conceived by the Holy Ghost and took Flesh of the blessed Virgin Mary that HE suffered thirst hunger and cold which as he was God he could not do mark that old Friends and other Passions of our Bodies sin excepted according to the saying of St. Peter And I believe that this his Death and Passion was the sufficient Ransom for my sins and the sins of the whole World and I believe that through his death he overcame sin death and hell and that there is no other Satisfaction unto the Father but his Death and Passion only and that no Works of Man did deserve any thing of GOD but only Christ's Passion touching our Justification For I know said this humble Martyr that the best Works that ever I did is impure and imperfect And according to the Faith of this worthy Martyr the Publick Ministers teach and I believe not but that Dr. Barns was a good Man walked circumspectly had great regard to the Dictates of his Conscience and the Guidance of the Light abstained from that which was evil and followed that which was good and every way as became a good Man as compleatly as the most perfect Quaker in England notwithstanding their high boasting yet you see he did not lean upon his own Deservings but upon the Death and Passion of Jesus Christ even the Merits of HIS Death who suffered thirst hunger and cold who was born of the Virgin and made like unto us sin excepted c. nor did he pretend to a sinless Perfection as the Quakers vainly boast of but humbly acknowledged that the best Works that ever he did was impure and unperfect and this made him rely and lean wholly upon the Merits of another even the Sacrifice of that Immaculate Lamb Christ Jesus his Death and bitter Passion which the Quakers never preach up as necessary to believe Search all their Epistles read in their Meetings hear all their Sermons if ever you hear such a Passage as came from this humble Martyr I will be your Bond slave And thus have I given an additional Proof that the Quakers are of a different Faith from the Martyrs and all true Christian Churches and when I came to understand these their Fundamental Errours which was after I had wrote three or four Books against them in reproof of their Hypocrisie about outward Ceremonies Church Government their pretending to preach write suffer and do all things freely when alas it was all but a cheat they took Money Gifts and Reward for all nay sometimes as in the Instance of Sam. Cater 10 l. where they suffered not 10 d. See New Rome p. 54. to 68. I say after I had thus been brushing at the outside or skirts of Religion for some years it pleased GOD in mercy to open my understanding and to shew me by the Rule of Holy Writ and through the Assistance of His Holy Spirit the Quakers great and Fundamental Errours and then I could not be silent but that too for the sake of many amongst them who have a Zeal I bear them record though not according to knowledge but was constrained to unmask their blind Guides who have caused them to err And if in my Zeal against their pernicious ways I seem to exceed they of all People may bear with me And now to the Trial now to the Examination Who are the true Ministers and the false who are the Worlds Teachers Alluding to the Quakers distinction whose Maxim is to call all but themselves of the World or the Worlds People or the Worlds Teachers c. and who are the Ministers of Christ And though I dare not pretend to know Gods People so as to give an infallible Character of another Mans state as the Quakers do yet I hope to make a truer Description than they have done But for this I must have a Rule and that Rule must be the Holy Scriptures and by the evident Testimony of that let my Work stand or fall A DISCOVERY OF THE WORLDS TEACHERS 1. The Quakers who teach that the Names JESUS and CHRIST do not properly belong to the Body that suffered upon the Cross at Jerusalem nor preach'd it up as a necessary Article of Faith to believe that Salvation is obtained through the Merits of his Death and Passion They are of the World they are the Deceivers and Antichrists 2. The Quakers who teach that the Name Jesus and Christ belong to the whole Body and to every Member in the Body as well and as amply as to Christ the HEAD are of the World and Deceivers 3. The Quakers who teach that the Body of Christ was of an earthly perishing Nature like ours are of the World and Deceivers 4. The Quakers who adore Mortal Men and give those Divine Attributes to Geo-Fox due only to CHRIST are of the World and Deceivers 5. The Quakers who teach that he that hath the same Spirit which raised up Jesus Christ is equal with GOD and which Spirit they pretend to have and by it give forth their Epistles c. and therefore of the World great Deceivers and horrible Blasphemers 6. The Quakers who teach that Josiah Coal being dead is ASCENDED and that IN Edw. Burroughs whilst living was THE ALMIGHTY POWER OF GOD and that the FULNESS dwelt in him of Grace and Vertue are of the World and gross Idolaters 7. The Quakers who teach that Geo. Fox's coming out of the North naked not known prophesied of writ from the Mouth of the LORD c. are Deceivers Impostors and of the World 8. The Quakers who teach that the Gospel is dust Matthew Mark Luke and John which is the Letter say they and that such are Ministers of the Letter are Ministers of Death which is Serpents-meat that say the Sacraments are dust c. are of the World and great Deceivers 9. The Quakers who teach that it is as justifiable to burn the Bible as the Books wrote by Geo. Fox Geo. Whitehead and others of their way are Decivers and impudent Impostors 10. The Quakers that teach that the Scriptures are uncertain and that what the true Prophets say is false and what the false Prophets said is true what good men spake therein is ill applied and what wise men spake therein is ill expressed and that whether Moses or Hermes was the first Penman of the Scripture is uncertain they are false Apostles deceitful Workers and their Doctrine tends to overthrow the Christian Faith 11. The Quakers who teach in one Book that the four Books Matthew Mark Luke and John are not the New Testament not the Rule for Christians to walk by and teach in another Book lately that the Scriptures are the New Testament Holy Scriptures c. are
