come the second time without sin to Salvation even to all that look for him that he came to do the Fathers will and in the prepared body did it in which ho abolisht death offering up himself through the eternal Spirit without fault to God to purge the Conscience from dead works to serve the living God Heb. 9. 14. That Man must believe in this Lord Jesus Christ for remission of sins and acceptance with the Father and that by Faith Christ is applyed to the Soul for Wisdome Righteousness Sanctification and Redemption and that by the imputed and imparted Righteousness of Christ man comes to be justified and accepted with God acceptance being only in him the beloved We believe the Resurrection of the dead Christ the first fruits and afterward they that are his at his coming We believe the Life everlasting Amen And for Christs sake are willing to be killed all the day long in hope of a better Resurrection seeking a Country whose Builder and Maker is God VVe own the Holy Scriptures to be of inestimable value and excellent use to all men but we say it self gives the preheminence to the Holy Spirit as that alone which leads into all truth John 16. 8. Now in opposition to the four Moniters that incinuate that we do not own and preach Christ the Eternal Son of God and after the flesh of the Virgin And the 21 that incinuate we hold antifundamental Doctrines I give forth this Testimony wherein I affirm that of the 4 to be a most detestable Lye that we preach a meer Created Light of the natural Conscience and Reason affirming that the same Jesus that the Apostles Preacht to be Preacht amongst us faith in him is preacht as the only name given by whom poor Souls can be saved and in opposition to the 21 do say if to believe in the only true God and Jesus Christ whom he hath sent be essential to Salvation if to fear God and love our Neighbours and do to all men as we would be done by even to believe in Christ as the Author of eternal Salvation to all that obey him and as is more largly afore-mentioned be with you Fundamental then your incinuation of our holding Anti-fundamentals is slanderous It is very true Baby-baptism prated prayers Sinners to sing Saints Psalms Man made-Ministers entitling every unclean harlot to Church-membership that the Merciful God decreed some men from all eternity to damnation that God offers mercy and Salvation to those he never intends it these Lies and Blasphemies wherewith you have poisoned this age all this we deny but all wholsome found Doctrine we own and are ready to make it appear to the Faces of the Stoutest of you and prove you are Slanderers of us These Lies once believing that the Quakers denyed Christ and the Scriptures and knowing the danger people are in through the subtil wiles of these men to be seduced into a Spirit of envy against the Innocent even to their everlasting Damnation I am the larger in this matter the great objection in this matter is that we preach the Light and exhort people to turn to the Light of Christ in them this is true but that this is to preach a created Light of Reason and natural Conscience oh that ever men that would be accounted the only Learned men should be thus blind and base and thus to incinuate when the Scripture so amply gives us an account of Christs preaching himself in the same Dialect that he was come a Light into the world and exhorted people to believe in the Light that they might be Children of the Light John 8. 12. and here I shall refer these Rabbies and all people to the Testimony of Paul Acts 26. giving account of his Doctrine I continue witnessing to small and great the same things spoken by Moses and the Prophets how that Christ should suffer and be the first that should rise from the dead and should shew light to the people and the gentiles Well ye Rabbies is it to preach a created Light of the Reason and natural Conscience to testifie that Christ doth shew light to all men and exhort them to turn to it you might as well have said the same of Paul had you lived in his days Oh the midnight darkness that you are in thus basely to perswade people to believe Lyes concerning us of your own forging VVhatever have been and may be your false accusations I am assured all these people called Quakers can unanimously and chearfully concerning Jesus Christ of Nazareth subscribe to that savory saying of Doctor Crisp as I remember If Christ thou knowest it will suffice Though else thou knowest not If Christ be hid thou art not wise Though all else thou art taught 21. MONITERS And yet some of them being grown Rich can and do live in in as much flesh-pleasing fulness splendor and indulging to a sensual life as others whom they have condemned I VVill readily allow these men to be competent judges of such a life according to their own Tenent that Experience is the best Teacher yet in this also their tongue is set on fire in hell according to their wonted trade to call good evil and evil good Jer. 48. 27. Was not Israel a dirision to you even so is it with these men they deride the Israel of God and endeavour thus to draw in others to deride us and I doubt not but the cursed fire that burns in their unclean hearts against us they design to blow up in the whole Nation against us but it is like them who doctrinally apply peace where God speaks war and war where God speaks peace but they are lame in this also by their own Tenent who in their Pulpits will tell you Generals prove nothing This is a general Accusation but except they can of their own knowledge produce some particular instance it proves nothing and though I never was of their University Pupils yet do believe that by their University Rules they merit a lash for suppository Calumniation It 's true Ill-will never speaks well so to expect better from these men were to seek grapes on thorns but we know all are not dead drunk with the wine of Malice so as to believe all these men say though termed Reverend Divines Old stile though nothing more repugnant to propriety of Speech But as to that matter let all men know that if any pretending to be of us be such as indulge the flesh they are none of us but are returned to you for it is not possible they should be of our fellowship but may be fit members for your Church who doctrinally declare that Dominion over sin is not to be expected here as a great one of you in a Book called Helps to Piety thus faith The body of sin and death were born and must die together Oh rare Divines is this Doctrine a help to Piety Now to conclude this Oh ye Moniters would ye recover your long lost Reputation
white and black sheets to render us Jesuitical and Romish so cannot be much wondered at in that proved enemy to all saints who rather than will want enemies to shoot his arrows of malice and envy at can make Sectaries and then thunder out his Bulls against calling upon the Powers to persecute them as they know that are acquainted with the wards of his Catholick Key dedicated to R. C. where I cannot but note he scribles against a sort of Sectaries I could never meet with in any other Author and yet am no stranger to the History of the Times nor a heedless Spectator of publick Actions that is the vainest Sect but no doubt but this man would have all he envies such a Sect as he pleaesth to tearm them and then away with them all at one stroak that the Presbyter may have all and that scarse enough to satisfie their greedy desires But adored be the hand of God wherein is the heart of Princes who hath secretly disappointed all such Hamans and here I cannot but remember people of this mans being in 1659. publickly cryed up and down in London for a Lyar and a Slanderer so R. B thou art no changling wherein thou hast no doubt been lately strengthned by a Son of the same Mother though differing a little in Feather Tho. Hicks the Baptist who might well have Subscribed as of your Fraternity being so dexterous in forgery whose Dialogues and thy Catholick Key differ in date but not in Nature Now to conclude This I hereby declare to all of you and to all men that this Incinuation is most false and the Lye and Lyars are for the lake of Gods Vengeance for ever and that we have either Papist or juggling Socinian amongst us is a soul lye and make your Charge good if you can And I hereby warn all as they tender their Souls welface and would escape the Pit of Perdition these Malicious men are leading them into to have a care they let not into their minds this mo●t detestable Incinuation A lye I once believed and was prejudiced against the Saints of God by it on the contrary I declare that in Conscience I belive there never was a Jesuite or Papist amongst the Quakers as owning them or their Principles and for Socinianism I refer you to a Book written by those Servants of Christ his Church and their Generation George Whitehead and William Penn intitled The Divinity of Christ wherein is enough said to satisfie any but such as are drunk with the Wine of the Whores Cup i. e. the Priests i. e. the Presb. and Independants Cup of Malice against the Innocent thus the Lord having opened my eyes and deliverd me out of these snares of the Enemy i. e. to believe the false incinuations of men against the holy People of God I give my Testimony against this their incinuation as tending to debauch People being assured that as the standers by said when the Temple was rent and darkness covered the earth when Christ suffered Of a truth this was the Son of God so that by the Doctrine and Conversation of the people whom these men thus traduce even most people have been reached so as to believe they are not nor never were Jesuitical or Popish Now at this time a day thus to incinuate I say is to endeavour to debauch the minds of the People to perswade them to believe a people to be that which they have born and do bear such a Testimony against in root and branch as never was born by any People since Popery had a name in the world And oh that the present Magistrates of England could bow their ear and receive a word of Counsel in this matter even to be aware of these men and of being influenc'd by them into an evil opinion of the innocent people of God their old practice was by Petitions and Addresses to endeavour to stir up their own Creatures to acts of Cruelty against us under the same pretence of Jesuitism and Popery but of late years what they incinuated into peoples minds to affright and amuze them on that acoount is sufficiently known and now again because malice hath no place for rest they are buzzing again into peoples minds incinuations against us as the introdncers of Popery Well God Almighty will render their Iniquity into their own bosome and as to you this I declare the Quakers merit no evil from you being a people of as sound Principles as to Government as ever were upon the Earth whoever they were and have been that have hurt people with whimsical Opinions concerning Government under specious pretences I shall here be silent as to such but as for the Holy Israel of God called Quakers Righteousness is in their hearts towards all men to the King and all that are in Authority desiring their Eternal and Temporal Tranquility And therefore I do even beseech all such whom God in his wise Providence hath set as Rulers over the People of this Nation to have a care they be not seduced by these men into false apprehensions of this holy People and must to that end here mind you and all m●n That it was Preaching Praying Fasting Presbyterians and Independants that murthered the Saints in New-England Oh have a care of them for they drive at no less here but God that hath will yet more and more unveil them to all men MONITERS From whom they hide the poison of their Anti-Fundamental Doctrines COme Rabbies though never at your Universities nor can well tell what trash by Tradition you profess for Fundamentals forged in and somented by General Councels and Synods of carnal men like your selves that in several Ages have drawn Pictures of Religion which you fall down to and worship out of whose Treasuries you have stockt your selves and strip you of which alas how much wiser are you than those whom you mock at as ignorant this I affirm on behalf of the Quakers that whatsoever according to the holy Scriptures can be called Fundamental Principles of the Christian Religion they fully affert own and contend for even for the Faith once delivered to the Saints which you carnal men are out of Now you Rabbies and all men know that we believe in one Almighty Omnipotent God and that he is to be loved worshipped feared and obeyed that he created and upholdeth all things by the word of his power that he is holy merciful just and true that man by sin became deprived of the knowledge and enjoyment of God his Creator that the restoration of this lost man to happiness again in the enjoyment of the favour of his Creator is only through the Lord Jesus Christ who 1600 years agoe was of the Line of David born of the Virgin at Bethlem in Judea who preached a Heavenly Doctrine was Crucified by the Jews and laid in a Sepulchre and was raised by the power of God and was seen of Mary and other Brethren who ascended far above all Heavens and shall
