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
