A85149	The Scriptures vindication against the Scotish contradictors. By one John Stalham, and as he saith, preacher of the Gospel at Edenborough in Scotland. And the other tiled [sic], A serious review of some principles of the Quakers; wherein error is discovered, and truth defended; by P.E. and written with a pen at Edenborough, printed in the year 1655, and a written name, as if it were the printer called Peter English, but no printed name; and thus they shuffle, but laid open to their shame, and truth in this short answer is defended and cleared, and their errour is discovered, and they ensnared. Who both have manifested their contradictions both to the Scriptures, and their own writings, and so have not the people which they call Quakers. / Published by a servant of the Lord Jesus, in Yorkeshire in England, known to the world by the name of Richard Farneworth.

wretched man that I am who shall deliver me from this body of death here though Paul did cry out of the body of death he did not always groan and sigh as dissemblers and Scots doe neither did he doe it in the name of all the regenerate as thou sayes but spoke his owne condition there therefore thou hast lyed grosly therein and so art an impudent lyar And Paul did not alwayes groan under that body of sin and Law in his members but witnessed a redemption from it for which he thanked God that made him more then a conqueror and others as well as he and such did not commit sin 1 John 3.9 and then not alwayes groaning under that were delivered from it 1 John 3.1 5 6 And to manifest thy confusion thou sayes the children of God from their new birth puts of the body of sin as to guilt and reigning power and yet sin easily besets them and presseth down by the remnants of filth thou sayes and that is thy condition where it so easily besets and presseth down it reigns but it easily besets and presseth thee and you Scotchmen down that are in the filth of it and therefore you let it reigne in your mortall bodies contrary to Rom. 6. and the new birth you are ignorant of and the hope that purifieth even as he is pure as such witnessed that witnessed and witnesse that birth and are Sons 1 John 3.1 2 3 Concerning Justification and the end of the Righteous and wicked or unrighteous They deny that God Justifieth a beleiving sinner thou sayes I answer That such as are born of God doe truly beleive and faith in God purifieth their hearts and giveth them victory over the World and so frees them from sin 1 John 5. And such beleivers are Justified from sin and ungodlinesse and not in sin and ungodliness for by Christ such as are so born and beleive are Justified from all sins and such like things from which they could not be Justified by the Law of Moses and so Christ is their Justification who are Sanctified and from sin by him redeemed which sin thou art pleading for and so art an unbeleiver and not redeemed that sayes It cannot be routed out till body and soule part and faith then is sin pluckt up by the roots as the root of a wilde Figtree rooted in the joynts of a stone wall is rooted our when the wall is taken down but hath no proof for thy saying but thy pollicy and that is contrary to Scripture for it is said Mark the perfect man and behold the upright for the end of that man is peace Psal 37.37 But the wicked shall be cut off and the transgressors shall be destroyed together at their end Psal 37.38 And you that plead for sin till your latter end continueth in wickednesse and so are unregenerated and the end of the wicked shall be cut off you that continue in sin to your end are wicked transgressors and such shall be cut off destroyed together as their works are so will their end be But such as are sinners and transgressors to their end their deeds are evill so will their end be and the wicked and such like shall be turned into hell Psal 9.17 and the unclean and unrighteous shall hot inherit the Kingdome of Heaven ye unrighteous Scots look to it and read 1 Cor. 6 9.10 Rev. 21.27 And for that saying of the Priests of New-Castle that said Peter when he denyed Christ was in a state of Justification and that a man denying Christ is in a state of Justification both thy blindnesse and theirs is there seen and that Scripture which thou brings to prove Peters being in a state of Justification when he denied Christ is Luke 22.33 which speaks no such thing but of the Descipies enquirery among themselves who it should be that should betray Christ see how blinde thou art was Judas in a state of Justification when he denied Christ and betrayed him no more then Peter was when Christ called him Satan but after Peter had repented of his deniall of Christ and wept bitterly upon his return and after he were united to the Faith then Christ prayed for him And where James Nayler in the discovery of the man of sin page 29 where he askes the Priests of New-Castle if pleading for sin be a discovering of the man of sinne to strengthen the Devils Kingdome and plead for an upholding of sinne and seeking to make a cover for thy sins and theirs Thou wiests James words in thy 12 page and art ignorant also of that which discovers the man of sinne that art making covers for him and by thy pollicy thou goest about to make Christ a sinner but in that thy folly is seene and contradiction to the Scripture that saith He was make unto us sin excepted and such as are in him are redeemed out of sin and abiding in him they sinne not whosoever sinneth hath not seene him neither knowne him 1 Joh. 3.4.5.6 and sin cannot be reconciled to God nor any such imperfect thing and that doth not contradict the Scripture Revel 21.27 And as for our meaning thou speakes of thou art without our minde and so knowest not our meaning by thy Imagining therein thou shewes a spirit of errour And where thou sayest they say he that beleiveth is borne of God without Scripture and yet witnessed in Scripture is contrary to James 1.17 where it saith Of his owne will begot he us by the word of Truth and to Peter where it sayes Being borne againe by the word of God which liveth and abideth for ever 1 Pet. 1.22 23. But if thou was not blinde thou would see that thou Contradicts the Scripture and not them that attributes the worke of regeneration and the new birth to the Letter which thou cals the word and so therein denyes God who begets by his owne will by that word which liveth and abideth for ever which was in the beginning with God and was God And where thou sayes they say sin dwelleth not in act where Christ reigneth that is true for where Christ raignes the body is dead to the acts of unrighteousnesse because of sin being destroyed and the Spirit is Life because of righteousnesse Living and ruling and here thou art contradicting the Scriptures and opposing the worke of Christ which is to take away sin and such as abides in him sinnes not then sin acts not he that acts sin commits sin and there Christ raignes not but Antichrist under whose Dominion thou art that pleads for him and his worke but hee that is begotten of God keepeth himselfe and that wicked one toucheth him not and hee that acteth and doth righteousnesse is of God but hee that acteth and doth unrighteousnesse is not of God as saith the Scripture And where thou sayes they say perfection of holinesse is not reserved till after death nothing is added after death and sets downe James Naylers booke called The Discovery of the man

of sinne Pag 28. Let all that reads that booke see if there be such words so expressed by James in that Page and if not as they are not so set downe by him then let them take notice of thy deceitfull spirit And as thou hast lyed of James who witnesseth purity as the Saints did so also hast thou lyed of the Apostle and those spoken of in Hebr 12. and contradicted his words where thou sets downe Hebr 12.23 saying from that in contradiction to James that he contradicts that Scripture when hee witnesseth with it but thou contradicts it that sayes that the Spirits that is soules seperated as thou sayes from the bodyes of Just men made perfect in holinesse which is at death or at an Instant when the Spirit is seperated from the Body sin is as the wild figtree thou sayes rooted in the Joints of a Stonewall and when the wall is taken downe the stones cast asunder body and soule seperated then is sin thou sayes pluckt up by the rootes as the roots of a figtree and not before Thou subtile Serpent and Scotch Polititian how hast thou wrested the Scripture The Apostle saith that the word of the Lord is quicke and powerfull so is not the Letter of the Scripture to devide asunder soule and spirit Joints and Marrow and is A descerner of the thoughts and Intents of the heart Heb 4.12 Here soule and spirit is devided by the Living word and the Ground of sin shaken at the roots and rooted out of such before their soules and bodyes part asunder for those that thou speakes of in Heb 12.22 did not say it should be at an Instant of death when their bodyes and soule parted that they should be perfected but they witnessed that then they was come to Mount Sion and to the Citie of the Living God to the Innumerable company of Angells and to the spirits of Just men made perfect and in the present Tense they there spoke and not in the future and doth it say they was then parting body and soule asunder or that sin was rooted in them as the wild figtree is rooted in the Joints of a stone-wall and did they say when the wall is taken downe the stones cast asunder body and soule parted then should sin be rooted out and not before or then they was in that state of perfection they spoke of but by this thou hast manifested thy Scottish pollicy and Antichristian deceitfull Spirit and to be one that would uphold the Kingdome of the Devill in people and so art an enemie to Christ and his worke which is to take away sin here and to sanctifie by his Spirit 1 Cor 6.11 1 Joh 3 4 5. and so art against purity and holinesse here and therefore against the Scripture which saith As hee that hath called you is holy so be yee holy in all manner of conversation But thou denyes the holy call also as well as the holy conversation that pleads for sin to act and presse downe and make you all your Lift time to sigh it our and under it groane but that is one of your Scottish tricks of deceipt take notice of that And where thou hast shewed forth another piece of thy pollicy and serpentine subtilty from the words as thou sayes in the short Answer Pag 1. They are not so set downe there and therefore thy pollicy hath manifested subtilty and thy particular lyes But all thy pleading is against purity yet Christ hath said Blessed are the pure in heart for they shall see God Math 5.8 then there was and are pure in heart as Christ said and they are blessed but thou sees it not that art of a corrupt heart and pleading against Christ and his doctrine and so accursed and thy witchcraft and deceipt that Loves not purity in heart nor the Lord Jesus Christ and what hee hath therein said And where thou sayes thou art sure that the least degree of purity makes a soule sensible of continuall Impurities mixed therewith That is thy owne condition confirmed by thy assurance and so thou Judges others by thy Continuall Impurities and therefore thy Judgement must needs be false and not true and that is thy Contradiction to the Scriptures for such as witnessed the word of God which endureth for ever and were begotten by it they had purified their soules through their obedience to the Truth through the Spirit which thou denyes and so denyes their doctrine who said Seeing yee have purified your soules have purifyed in the present Tense in obeying the Truth through the Spirit See that yee Love one another with a pure heart fervently but thou art against a pure heart also and so against the Scripture 1 Pet 1.22 And where thou sayes one in Answer to M Eaton P. 14. saith Did ever Paul deny perfection Thou in Reply saith what thinkes hee or others of that Phil 3.12 I Answer hee is so far from denying it that he pressed hard after it and said to such as had attained to it presse others on after it and they did Heb 6.1 and such obtained as so pressed after it Heb 12.22 23. And Paul obtained it and preached wisdome amongst them that were perfect 1 Cor 2.6 7. and said Finally my Brethren Farewell and be perfect but thou denyes it and so contradicts the Scripture and crosseth the Apostles doctrine therefore thou and such are to be holden accursed Gal 1.8 Thou sayes The question asked of one G Fox was Have yee no sin and his Answer was no I Answer If it were it was not contrary to such as were in the eternall Life and did abide in Christ but hee is in the Life of Truth and abides in Christ and therefore his Answer did not contradict the Scripture in the 1 Joh 3.6 but agree therewith and for that of the 1 Joh 4.16.17 it witnesseth the same though thou would wrest it yet thy twistings is not sufficient grounds to overthrow the truth for it will stand a witnesse against all Gainesayers like thee when thou art wearied with making opposition against it to manifest thy folly as thou hast done And thou sayes in Answer to Samuel Eaton Pag 19. They deny Saints to be alwayes in the warfare if they doe they deny not the Scripture but agrees with it for such as have overcome are more then Conquerers and thou brings that of Paul in the warfare to contradict it saying Rom. 7.23 I see a Law in my members warring c. but thou brings not his after Experience where hee sayes the Law of the Spirit of Life in Christ hath made mee free Rom 8. And where hee with the rest in that union with him saith they are more than Conquerers through him that Loved them ver 37 and such as are carnally minded as thou art are in death but such as are spiritually minded are in life and peace and greater is hee that is in them then hee that is in the world 1 Joh 4.4 and such as have overcome

thou hast contradicted the Scripture which calls Christ the alone Saviour or perfect Saviour being able to save all that come unto God by him not by the Scripture but by Christ the alone and perfect Saviour of such Acts 4.11 12. Heb. 7.25 which the Scripture declareth of and he that hath the Son hath life 1 John 5.12 if he have not the letter but he that hath not the Son hath not life though he may have all the Letter And where thou sayes that Edward Burrough calls the common light the corner stone c. Thou lyes of Edward Burrough and his Book to Vnderbarrow p. 7. for there is not such a word as a common Light there stop thy mouth lyar for thou art taken with the lye in thy mouth and lyars are for the Lake Rev. 21.8 But the Scripture saith Christ is the Light and Christ is the chief corner stone Act 4.11 1 Pet. 2.6 7. and so saith Edward Burrough therefore he agrees with the Scripture and his saying as thou sayes is not contrary to Eph. 2 20. but agree therewith there againe thou art taken with another lye in thy mouth lyar be ashamed and blush And where thou wouldst slander Richard Farneworth for saying the Light is pure standing out of corruption thy slander hath no weight nor doth not harm for God is Light 1 John 1.5 and he is pure and discovers corruptions and hath no union with them therefore his Light is pure and stands out of them and what communion hath Light with darknesse as saith the Scripture 2 Cor. 6.14 And thou brings that Scripture and sayes if you beleivers say you have no sin you deceive your selves and the truth is not in you 1 John 1.8 But I say and so doth the Scripture that he that abideth in Christ sinneth not 1 John 3.6 But you Scotchmen abide not in Christ that thou calls beleivers who plead for the Devil and therefore are sinners and such as commit sin are of the Devil take notice of that 1 John 3.6 7 8 9 10. but thou commits sin and so art a servant of the Devil for thou goes on with thy lies and sayes James Nayler saith that the common Light of every man which thou calls naturall Light being followed and obeyed will lead out of the fall I charge thee here in the presence of the Lord to be a lyar of James Nayler and his Book for the words in it are not as thou sayes thou lyar and false accuser be ashamed of thy lyes but James Nayler witnesseth with Christ who is the true Light and such as obey the Light and follow Christ they are led thereby out of the fall and are saved by him and that is not contrary to Scripture but witnessed with it which thou contradicts and so sins against Scripture and against Christ that calls him a naturall Light and to manifest thy blindnesse and ignorance of the Scriptures thou sayes Where is there any Promise in Scripture of spirituall saving Light to lead man out of the fall and out of his naturall estate but a threatning thou sayes there is c. I answer If there were no Promise of spirituall saving Light to lead out of the fall man might continue in it and under the curse but there is Promises of saving Light and saving grace anexed to it and such as follow and obey the same are saved by it and led out of the fall for by grace are we saved through faith and not of our selves it is the gift of God as saith the Scripture Eph. 2. Not of works least any man should boast Eph. 2.8 9. That there is promises of saving Light in Scripture as God hath said I will give thee for a Covenant of the people for a Light to the Gentiles and this Light hath grace anexed that is a covenanting Light and salvation to the ends of the earth the Light of the Gentiles and the glory of the people Israel Isa 42.6 7. Isa 49.6 Isa 60.19 20. Luke 2.22 23. Eph. 2. Concerning the Law To that touching the Law and first Covenant of works that the Mosaicall and Leviticall Law was under that Covenant of works and all thy twisting and wresting cannot disprove it and for thy saying Adam was under a Covenant of works and the same thou canst not prove it nor Peter English to help thee but manifests your confusion therein for Peter English in his serious reveiw saith that God made Adam upright p. 7. and in a state of perfection for he saith Adam was made in a state of perfection without sin and yet to contradict himselfe and shew his confusion in p. 10 he saith that through coveteousnesse the root of all evill a breach of the 10 commandedement he fell or brake and transgressing dyed see here how Peter English hath befooled himselfe first saith he man was perfect and without sin then saith he he was coveteous and in the root of all evill what contradictions is here to himselfe and to the Scripture that saith before he so fell he knew no evill and the said Peter English a Scotchman saith further to confute himselfe and the rest with him that it cannot be said that Adam in a state of innocency was under a covenant of works p. 9. for where there is no Law there is no transgression Rom. 4.15 and the Law is not for the righteous but for the rebellions 1 Tim. 1.9 and so he saith in a sence Nayler spoke true but Peter English going about to accuse Nayler and after when he hath cleared him he confutes himselfe saying Adam was not under a covenant of works as under a Law and yet saith through a breach of the 10 commandement he broke the covenant and transgressing of which he died here he hath comed poorly off and lyed of himself and of the Scriptures and of Adam also for he said where no Law was there was no trasgression but Adam had not the Law in which the 10 commandments were given therefore he did not transgress the 10th and dye for that for it were written the Law with the 10 commandements several hundred years after Adam and not given to him in the Paradice therefore he was not under that Law and Covenant of works Lyars stop your mouths Concerning Sinne. That all the children of Light are called to judg them Priests and such as you that say the children of God are found groaning under the burden of sinne all their life time those are the words though thou wrest them that is warranted and not arroganted for groaning under sinne whilest it is working out that may be but to say that the children of God they groane under it all their life time it contradicts the Scriptures and the arrogant assertion is thy own contrary to Rom. 8. c. 1 John 3. Rev. 14. for thou sayes Paul all along in Rom. 7. from v. 14. speaks in the name of the regenerate to the end of the chapter and groans and sighs it out Oh
