A75872	An answer to a book, titled, Quakers principles quaking: subscribed by the name of one Ralph Hale, with an epistle (so called) to the reader, subscribed with the name of one Zachariah Crofton. A principle of darkness, deceit, and confusion in Ralph Hale, and his fellow labourer in Sathans work Zachariah Crofton, is discovered by the Quakers principle, and the Quakers principle doth stand against the power of darkness, and all the false principles in the world, them to discover and lay open. The book was said to be modestly propounded by Ralph Hale, but in it I found so many lies, slanders, and false accusations, with confused, vain, and frivolous words, as many of them is not worth mentioning; yet, lest the author should boast in his mischief, I shall lay down somthing in answer to some few of them, in respect of the number of them. / A servant to the least in the houshold of faith, and the lest amonst his brethren, whose name in the flesh is William Adamson.	Addamson, William, 17th cent.	1656 (1656)	Wing A501; Thomason E897_3; ESTC R206690	24,865	37

so swinishly minded that Christ spake those words to they coveted no mans gold nor silver and if they had food and rayment they would be therewith content but the dogs will never be content and here take heed thou have not called evil good and good evil remember thou hast denounced a wo in the Title page of thy book to them that do so and all who have an eye may here see that wo meet with thee and everlastingly it is thy portion except with speed thou repent Hale And in the 8 page thou sayest thou would gladly know whether we will acknowledge the whole Scripture to be the Word of God or no I mean the whole Bible sayest thou Answ I say if thou mean that the whole B●ble is the Word of God I say Nay for I do acknowledge no God but one nor no word of God but one and Christ is that Word the Bible is no more then a true declaration of what it declares the Bible ●s a declaration of those words that God spake but not the whole Bible some p●rt of it is a declaration of those words he divel spake Luke 4.3 6. the divel said unto him If thou be the Son of God c. and the divil said ●nto him All this power will I give thee Is this the words of God or the words of the divel And further if I should say that the Bible were the Word of God thou would give no credit to it except thou be a lyar for there is no Scripture saith so and in the 25 page of thy book thou sayest if it be not Law and Testimony proof thou wilt give no credit to it for shame do not m●ke thy self a lyar lest whilst thou goes about to make the Quakers Principles quake thou break thy own in pieces Hile. And in the 7 page thou said the ministers work is for the perfecting of the Saints for the edifying of the Body of Christ which is the Church sayest thou Answ I say if the Ministers work be for the perfecting of the Saints and for the edifying of the Body of Christ then see that thou do not deny perfection in this life lest thou leave the Ministers neither time nor place to do their work in for the work that the Ministers doth they must do it in this life The dead that die in the Lord rest from their labours and their works follow them Rev. 14.13 there is no perfecting of the Saints in the grave and for the Body of Christ which thou sayest is the Church it is risen from the grave for the Church is in God therefore see that thou do not leave the Ministers their work to do after this life Hale And in the tenth page line the 14. thou sayest But you say this Law so much insisted upon together with the Priesthood of it is changed and the Commandment disanulled and this you bottom upon Hebr. 7.12 and 18. sayest thou Answ I say here let all take notice that the very same words that we bear witness to that is the changing of the Law and Priesthood and the disanulling of the Commandments and that on which we have bottomed it as thou thy self art forced to confess they are plain Scripture words without adding or diminishing as they are written in Heb. 7.12 and 18. and here again let all take notice what Spirit thou speaks from that by thy inchantment would make it seem as though the Law and Priesthood were not changed and the Commandments not disanulled except in such sancies and imaginations as thy vain mind can admit of and so would prove the Apostle a Lyar. Hale And whereas thou sayest thou dost affirm that Moses and the Prophets and the Gospel are all one in substance and in effect the very same Answ Ralph Hale thou dost affirm that whereof thou knows nothing but by hear-say thou never yet came to Christ who is the Gospel and there is no other Gospel nor to the Prophets nor to Moses estate but thou art between Adam and Moses and there death reigns over thee and if thou might not have talked of Moses the Prophets nor the Gospel till thou had known Moses to give a Law against sin and the transgressor in thee and the Prophets to denounce Gods judgements against sin in thee and the Gospel of peace that makes free from sin we had not found so many Scriptures wrested in thy Book by adding thy cursed meanings and the plagues of God must be added to him that adds Hale And in page 11. line 15. thou sayest in respect of order of the Priesthood it is not changed with the next words thou confutes that again for saith thou Christ is a Priest for ever after the order of Meschisedec and in page 15 two of the last lines thou sayest Christ is a Priest not after the order of Aaron but after the unchangeable order of Melchisedec Answ Ralph Hale Is this the modesty that thou talks of in the Title page of thy book in which thou propounds this stuff Thou here confesses that Christ is a Priest not after the order of Aaron but after the order of Melchisedec Now let all consider whether the Levitical Priesthood of Aarons order under which the Law was given to the people was not changed when another Priesthood was risen called by the name of another order the one being called by the order of Aaron and the other by the order of Melchisedec as in Heb. 7.11 which thou thy self art forced to confess that Christ is a Priest not after Aarons order but after the order of Melchisedec though before in page 11. line 19. thou said in respect of the order of the Priesthood it is not changed And here all may take notice of thy spirit of consusion and what saying and unsaying of a thing thou makes But when the Leopard is without spots then will that nature that thou lives in be without confusion Hale And thou sayest Tythes of Divine Right do belong to the servants of Melchised●chs order Answ I say if Tythes belongs to the servants then the Masters have nothing to do with them therefore see that you give not them to them that are called masters for by thy own rule they do not belong to masters but servants and the servants of Melchisedechs order who are Ministers of the Gospel they n●ither do nor never did demand them but will be content with Gospel wages If we have food and rayment let us be therewith content 1 Tim. 6.8 Hale And thou sayest I might instance the Sacraments of old under the Law Answ Ralph Hale Where is now thy modesty that thou talks of in the Title page of thy Book in which thou propounds thy stuff It is far from modesty to make lies and here thou d●st both make and instance lies for there is no such thing as a Sac ament ever men ioned in all the time under the Law therefore that is not Law and testimony proof then wilt sure
