A89824 An answer to a book called The Quakers catechism, put out by Richard Baxter. Wherein the slanderer is searched, his questions answered, and his deceit discovered, whereby the simple have been deceived: and the popery proved in his own bosom, which he would cast upon the Quakers. Published for the sake of all who desire to come out of Babylon, to the foundation of the true prophets and apostles, where Christ Iesus is the light and corner stone; where God is building a habitation of righteousness and everlasting peace; where the children of light do rest. Also some quæries for the discovering the false grounds of the literal preist-hood of these days, in the last times of antichrist. If you know the truth, the truth shall make you free. / Iames Nailor. Naylor, James, 1617?-1660. 1655 (1655) Wing N258; Thomason E851_1; ESTC R207416 51,999 51

and Vagabonds and disturbs our peace and worships c. but the light is come your mysts wil not hide you the Sun is risen and you are seen in the work against the same Spirit nothing altered but the persons or places or time where had ever ministers of Christ hand in persecuting any upon any account whatsoever prove your practise herein Then thou goes on to tell what that death is that passed upon all men and thou sayes its the separation of the soul from the body thou blind for did not death pass upon Adam til soul and body was separated this is like thy opinion of the soul but how canst thou who art in death know what it is those whom Christ quickned who were dead E●h 2. 1. 5. was they such who had no souls nay thou must own the Light before thou know what death is death reigns in lyars and envious ones 18. qu. What is the Flaming Sword that keeps the Tree of Life the Cherubims and this thou answers with calling it a foolish question and adds a lye to it saying we have not seen it thou sayes it shall suffice thee to know there is such a thing which knowledg is no more in thee but hearsay but the sight thou puts far off into the world to come and the Tree of Life also for thou that never saw the Flaming Sword Cherubims never came near the Tree of Life but as I said before feeds upon death thy own cursed carnall knowledg which God hath forbidden 19. qu. Whether they that stand praying in the Synagogues or Idols Temples and love greetings in Markets and bind heavie burthens on the people are called of men masters be not out of Christs Doctrine and this falling upon the head of the Serpent being thy own practise thou art forced to take thy old crooked winding wayes to get out and thou begins to question instead of answer saying if your Temples be Christ Temples do not we make Christ an Idoll by calling them Idolls Temples I say they are not Christ Temples unless thou mean the Pope be he whose Temples they are who builded and consecrated them into the names of dead men and women and set up in them a dead worship all which Christ never commanded but the Temple of Christ is made without hands and there he dwells and not in Temples made with hands hast thou a face to father those upo● Christ wherein you generation of blood-suckers have worshipped in them ever since they was builded do not they stand witnesses against you that you are the children of them who slew the Martyrs and now are found beating in the same SYNAGOGUES and shedding Blood as far as you can get the same power by which they did it CHRIST had never such TEMPLES stop thy MOUTH for SHAME And thou goes on and where thou cannot deny but thou art in the steps of the PHARISEES yet sayes thou I do not love it they loved it to be called Master c. but I do not wel tho● sayes in words thou loves it not but come to thy practise and it wil appear thou who art but one hast made more ly●s and crooked wayes to uphold it in this thy book then all the generations of thy fathers the Pharis●es ●i● that ever was before thee and dost thou think to cover all this by saying thou loves it not but you have used so long to lead the bl●nd that you would put out the eys of them that see thou saies it was pharises pride that was condemned I say so it is your pride that is your condemantion nor can thou clear thy self of the very same things they was found in but least thou should lose all yet sayes thou Christ bids them hear the hypocriticall pharisees and observe to do as they bid you I confess to plead for hypocriticall teachers is the likest way to get in to have people commanded to hear you had not you run so gross til you have lost all also even the outward form of godliness which they had and upon that account he bad hear them because they sate in Moses seat and read the Letter truly without adding but you are neither set in Moses seat nor Christs but run in your own imaginations till neither Law nor Gospel-letter wil warrant any one thing of your worship matter nor manner means nor maintenance as I shall be ready to prove that not one particular of your worship you act in your Idolls Temples nor wages for so doing can you prove by plain Scripture to be so much as in the form commanded o● practised by Christ and his Saints and yet calls your selves upr●ght and faithful ministers for shame be silent as to boasting til you acquit your selves of this charge by plain Scriptures without wresting it and would you have us bound to hear such under pretence of hypocrites who have lost both power and shew of Godliness and sayes thou it is not being called master that Christ intended thou lying spirit would thou make him a lyar like thee did not he intend as he spoke or thou takes him to be an hypocrite like the Pharisees whom thou would thrust in amongst with thy consequence and thou sayes he forbids the name of fathers I say he forbids not children and fathers but such as you then thou goes on in thy old way lying say●ng we forbid the owning of any relations and all affections and respects to them I say thy father hath fitted thee with boldness to bring forth his work who dare declare thy own shame to all that know our practise what dis-affection canst thou charge uppon any of our relat●ons unless thou accuse us because we cannot affect the Devils pride and bow to it in such as thee And to plead for this mastership further thou sayes thou wil tel us something we know not and that is that the disciples of the sect-masters of the Pharisees so gloryed in their masters that they were ready to go by the ears and kil one another and this thou would send us to see amongst them as a strange business which we see daily amongst you and your disciples how many Sects and Sect-masters is amongst you Priests and your Disciples and have been all by the ears as thou calls it even unto blood til you have vented all your envie against the Lambs of Christ as they did then though thou would put it far off yet we see it here present and sayest thou these called they Rabbies as the Papists do the Pope but why wilt thou not read on one wo●d further as your hearers do you no doubt but this is as true though not so much for thy purpose who art hiding thy selfe by accusing others and so now that I have set thee in thou may read on all the rest of thy charge against the Pope and find thy selfe guilty and stop thy mouth and see the Pharisees the Pope and thee and thy brethren all on a Line
