A51569	Tyranny and hypocrisy detected or, a further discovery of the tyrannical government, popish-principles, and vile practices of the now-leading Quakers. Being a defence of the letter, intituled, The spirit of the hat, against the deceitful, defective and railing Answer, called The spirit of Alexander, &c. With a challenge, to refer the judgment of matters of fact to the verdict of twelve impartial judges, equally chosen. Also, many of their letters, papers, and transactions among themselves are made publick; wherein they contradict one another, and attribute titles to George Fox, that are proper only to Christ.	Mucklow, William, 1631-1713.; Fox, George, 1624-1691.; Mucklow, William, 1631-1713. Bemoaning letter.	1673 (1673)	Wing M3036; ESTC R201177	45,022	73

seems it was true and how can it be otherwise that so great a King and Prophet as G. Fox should not have such a Power However this Gosnel confesses to have spoken unadvisedly when he reflected upon the zeal of that man of God though he had said as I have heard when he was desired to go to G. F. to be reconciled c. I abhor to prostrate my Reputation at the Feet of any Mortal yet before his last g●●ng beyond sea did comply with him and is now become a Preacher among them But let us see what it was that provoked King George's zeal to such a height which occasion'd W.G. to think he would have struck S. Newton I understand there was of late a Meeting set up by G. F. upon the Account of the Quakers sufferings whence as occasion served they had recourse to the Lawyers for their advise to elude the proceedings of their Procecutors At one of these Meetings S. N. produced G. Fox's Book to the Judges and Lawyers against their proceedings by which he told them they made void the blood of all those that have suffered for conscience sake in those matters and also disliked their making use of a Quaker as their Solicitor who was under an ill fame see Spirit of Hat p. 42. but favour'd by G. Fox these things so transported their chief Prophet that W. G. thought by his postures and carriage he would have struck S. N. who moreover produced a Letter from Rob. Duncomb and John Jennocks relating the Death of one Rich. White who for following their Solicitors advise in these matters considering the Doctrine and Practice of G. Fox himself and the Quakers had upon his death-bed been much wounded in Spirit and desired R. D. to warn Friends how they went down to Egypt for help or went from the Light in themselves to follow the advice of men Had not G. F. the man of God think ye reason enough to be in a fury at such a bold man as this S. Newton who durst thus shew him his palpable contradiction to himself and the sad consequence thereof Well But Gosnel what ever becomes of himself will needs have our Author among many other great wickednesses to have brought forth a Monstrous work to be irreligious and void both of Conscience and Spirit Why so I pray Why because in one place he pleads Conscience and Gospel-Liberty that is He will not count himself oblig'd to keep off his Hat by vertue of George's Law finding no inward obligation of conscience so to do but in another place he sayth He keeps it neither off nor on upon a Religious Account tho' the Foxonians keep it off upon such an account This is the monstrous contradiction found out by this accurate Distinguisher who if he cannot find a knot in the Bulrush will be sure to make one Why doth he not also charge the Apostle Paul with the like contradiction for bidding the Christians stand fast in the Liberty of Christ and yet saying that he that regards not the day to the Lord he doth not regard it see Rom. 14. Gal. 4.1 1 Cor. 8.9 and some made Conscience of eating c. and others eat asking no question for Conscience sake Can a man stand fast in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made him free and not upon a Religious account or cat or keep a day in assertion of that Liberty and yet not upon a conscientious account of Christ's Liberty And yet make no conscience of eating or not eating but use his liberty therein as others did not who abstained for Conscience-sake I knew a Religious man who always put off his Gloves when he went to Prayer and no doubt but he did it out of Conscience but who of a thousand did so besides himself And who would have submitted to it had he imposed that observance but enough to this impertinent man XIX We come in the last place to consider their vindication of their Ministry from being Vicious and Wanton and that Strumpets are amongst them This W. P. doth in the Name of the holy God deny p. 15. and defies any man on Earth to prove any part of this ungodly charge to so much as belongs to any one person by us saith he accounted of it And John Boulton and Samuel Newton declare in the uprightness of their hearts that they know of no such nor can acknowledge any such to be either of their Ministry or their Body A Man would think now that these Men would not dare thus to appeal to God which is the highest Testimony that Men can give but that they know their Testimony to be very true even infallible and that our Author is a very wicked man in writing such a charge against them But have patience Reader and hear what I say on the Authors behalf Forasmuch as W. P. exclaims upon us for proof and promiseth that an hearing shall not be refused we chalenge them to make choice of six disinterested judicious and honest persons such as we may have no just and reasonable exception against and we on our part will make choice of the same number and so qualified against whom they shall have no just and reasonable exception to which twelve persons so agreed upon we will referr the Judgment of this matter of Fact and all other matters of Fact wherein you have in your late Pamphlets so horribly cryed out of being belyed and slandered and of the complaint afore-mentioned and if in the Judgment of these twelve men we shall be found to have said that in detraction from you of which we cannot give a sufficient reason we will then give you such satisfaction as these men shall agree upon Provided that you also ingage your selves to be subject to the like sentence if the falure be found in you And lest it should fall our that we may not agree in the choice of such a number of Persons we are willing in case of difference about them to refer the Umpirage to the Lord Mayor of London or any Alderman on the Bench or any one of Twenty Common-Council-men If you accept these terms signifie your mind in writing and leave it with Francis Smith the Bookseller and you shall find Persons ready to comply with you If you do not accept them I hope no considerate man will henceforth ever believe either your word or oath for so I call your appeals to God your imprecations and cursings But that the Reader may not too much wonder at this strange Confidence on both sides let him consider that their loud denial doth but seem to contradict our Author's charge for he speaks of the time past and they of the time present when they wrote whereby they exclude from being accounted of their Ministry 1. Those that have been found guilty and are disowned such as J. C. D. B. W. W. T. T. T. M. and others 2. Those that have been guilty but are deceased 3. Those that are disowned by these Persons that
