Christ's Baptism with the Spirit And of the Washing of Regeneration Which was greater And was not the outward Supper Bread and Cup in Commemoration of Christ's Death a Figure also of his Inward Spiritual Supper Eating and Drinking with him in his Kingdom Who said he except ye eat my Flesh and Drink my Blood ye have no Life in you Where then is the falshood in our confessing Baptism and the Lord's Supper in the Figure and Substance F. B. quotes E. Burrough's Works p. 51. The Bread and Wine is visible and carnal a figure of a Spiritual thing And what then are they Spiritual or the Substance which is Christ That 's Popery which the Martyrs opposed who esteemed the outward Elements the Bread and the Cup figurative or a Figure of the Body and Blood of Christ spiritually receivedly Faith What great Error then can F. B. prove against us therein He farther cites E. B. in this point as follows p. 45 viz. For Christ never since he was sacrificed brake the Bread and drank the Cup with his Disciples p. 581 instead of 518. We do deny and do say it is no Ordinance of God neither was it ever commanded of him or practised by the Saints but is an Institution of the Whore of Rome c. This F. B. renders E. B. to say of the Bread and the Cup being cited in the next antecedent Words as here Oh sad what a gross Perverter art thou F. B This has been often thy fallacious manner of Citation to abuse us as 't is plain that which E. B. here says we deny as never commanded of God nor practised by the Saints but ● Romish Institution was Sprinkling or Baptizing Infants calling it the Baptism into Faith c. as in E. B' s. p. 518 before quoted and not breaking of Bread and drinking of the Cup ' as given by Christ unto his Disciples E. B knew this was some time practised by Believers ' but not the other and it had been more ingenious for F. B. to have convicted him of Error about Sprinkling than to mis-represent him Though I grant E. B. in p. 518 objects against their manner of breaking Bread and drinking Wine among the Unconverted and Unregenerate as not commanded of God nor practised by his Saints But does not call the breaking of Bread and drinking Wine a Popish Institution of Rome as he does Sprinkling Infants and their calling it the Baptism into the Faith This point is answered in the Quakers Vindication p. 2. col 1. But F. B. is more expert in mis-representing traducing and railing than in rational Argument or fair Disputation As to our Exception against Sprinkling and seeming thereby to allow of Dipping p. 46. we except against the one as unscriptural and allow of the other as once Scriptural in its proper Dispensation F. Bugg's Fifth and Sixth Charge against the Quakers That they undervalue the Death and Sufferings of Christ and exalt their own Sufferings above the Sufferings of Christ above the Sufferings of the Apostles above the Sufferings of the Martyrs or any Christians since the Days of Christ c. We deny these Charges as expresly contrary to our Principle and publick known Testimonies both highly valuing and exalting the Death and Sufferings of Christ above all other His charging the Quakers to exalt their Sufferings above the Sufferings of Christ imports as if they so lifted up extolled dignified or rendred their Sufferings more excellent than Christ's This is a most gross Calumny cast upon the People called Quakers and as expresly contrary to their Intention and Principle Though F. B. takes advantage at some Words of E. B's which he partially cites adding the Words called Quakers and as unfairly construes against the Quakers in general as where he saith Q. Mary's Days brought not forth a Suffering more cruel F. B. leaves out in many respects which many respects he explains to be about trivial Matters as for not putting off the Hat thee or thou to a Person and denying the circumstance of Swearing and Hundreds suffering on Suspicion when nothing could be charged against them and that this was contrary to Magna Charta Thus E. B. reflects upon the Arbitrary Proceedings of those in power in 1657. Though I cannot warrant all his comparative Expressions but grant that the Passage objected against E. B. in this place was not so well worded as intended according to his own Explication For by greater and more cruel Suffering I cannot think E. B. so senseless as to intend in all Respects as that the People of God in our Age have unde●gone greater and more cruel Sufferings than all the Primitive Sufferers Apostles and Martyrs in the Ten Persecutions no sure but in some respects wherein they did not suffer then upon such small Pretences as many did in Cromwel's time without any such pretext of Law as the Jews pretended against Christ. However tho' the Sufferings of the People of God among us was far short of the Sufferings in the Apostles Days and in the Ten Persecutions c. yet F. B. gives but a mean and partial Account thereof namely of a few Imprisonments and some small Distresses c. In the Twenty Five Years he was amongst the Quakers he might have remembred also the cruel Whippings and tedious Imprisonments close Confinements many of God's People have met withal here in Old England together with cruel Beatings Stockings Stonings c. As also the sad Accounts from New England of the cruel and barbarous Whippings Cutting Ears Hanging and putting to Death divers of our Iunocent Friends there I may not say this was so cruel as the Sufferings in the Days of the Apostles and Ten Persecutions c. But these being inflicted by Professors of Christianity in Old and New England it seemed more sinful and unjust in them than in the Heathens who pretended to no such Religion and Profession One remarkable Passage of Fr. Bugg's pursuant to the Fifth and Sixth Charge against the Quakers I must needs take some notice of In his Sheet to the Parliament he puts a Query viz. Whether was greatest the Sufferings of the Quakers or the Sufferings of Christ To which Bugg saith G. W. gave no direct Answer but glossed it over as his usual way is for if he had answered that the Sufferings of the Quakers had been greatest as their Doctors teach a gross Lie by the way the People would have been ready to Stone him for Blasphemy Again if he had said the Sufferings of Christ had been the greatest he had then given the Lye to E. B. So that he was in a great strait like the Pharisees of old their Predecessors Thus far Bugg p. 47 48. Now F. Bugg I pray thee see and I wish thy Ministers William Smi●hies and Isaac Archer may see what a notorious wilful Liar thou art in this very point in saying G. W. gave no direct Answer to thy Question but was in a great strait To evince thy wilful Lie herein

the efficient cause of Man's Salvation Qu. Wither p. 22. Seeing that Light of Life was the Light and Life of the same Jesus Christ. And I think it is a real owning Jesus Christ who was born of the Virgin Mary to be the efficient Cause of Man's Salvation to confess that to his own holy Divine Light of Life Salvation is chiefly ascribed but Instrumentally to his Body And hath not the Apostle Paul the like Distinction where he confesseth we were reconciled to God by the Death of his Son much more being reconciled we shall be saved by his Life Rom. 5. 10. Here 's Reconciliation by his Death and much more Salvation by his Life Wherefore F. Bugg's Consequence against us as bringing in Damnable Heresies Denying the Lord Jesus Christ to be a compleat Saviour p. 23. is a most foul and absurd Slander His instance in p. 23 that the Serpent is a Spirit and therefore that promised Seed which bruiseth his Head must be Spiritual And that Seed is Christ. To which I add consequently not only the outward Body or Flesh which he took upon him I cannot understand how this can be a Denial that Jesus Christ himself is the efficient Cause of Man's Salvation unless F. Bugg doth think that Christ was made up only of that outward Body of Flesh without any Divine Principle of Light and Life in him which I suppose he will not attempt to own or prove For though Christ took upon him the Seed of Abraham according to the Flesh and was the Seed of the Woman that bruises the Serpents Head even the promised Seed who through Death was to bruise under and destroy him that had the power of Death viz. The Devil yet he effectually doth it by his Divine Power Light and Life as the immediate and efficient Cause of Man's Salvation Wherein we still confess his Sufferings and Death in the Flesh Instrumentally to Contribute thereunto Christ Jesus as the promised Seed who came of a Woman made under the Law bruised the Serpent's Head both without us and within us without us through his Sufferings and Death by his Divine Testimony Word and Power within us by his Divine Life Light Word or Seed Spirit and Power which is all but one Christ himself not Two Christs nor to be divided Else how could we be born again of incorruptible Seed Or how doth that Seed remain in him that 's born again And is not that Seed Christ And is not the Word of Faith Christ in Spirit 'T is well that F. B. grants the head of the Serpent in Men shall be bruised Consequently this must be for their Salvation And Christ therefore as inwardly revealed by ●is Spirit and Power the efficient Cause there of Divers other absurd Consequences he draws upon us in this case not worth tracing His other Instances to prove his false Charge of the Quakers denying Jesus to be Christ and efficient Cause of Man's Salvation are most grosly applied and perverted as he saith by G. Fox's assuming Divine Attributes to himself p. 26 27. Which we must needs look upon to be a reiterated aspersion For where G. F. uses these Words I am the Light him by whom the World was made and doth enlighten every Man that comes into the World c. This he speaks in the Name of Christ and not of himself nor in his own Name as his following Words plainly shews viz. If you love the Light wherewith you are enlightened you will love Christ who saith Learn of me Now F. B. Dost thou in Conscience believe that G. F. assumes this to himself or that he himself made the World Or that he himself enlightens every Man 'T is very sad to see thee so hardened and wilfully perverse in thus perverting truth Thou knowest better and sins against knowledge in thy Calumnies against us F. Bug's Second Charge against the Quakers Their Books are Blasphemous and their practice Idolatrous c. This we utterly deny as a Calumnious Clam●u● against our Books and practice in general And therefore the more impossible for Fr. Bugg rationally to produce the Colour of proof thereof Wherefore I question him about his pretended Allegations 1. What Blasphemy or Idolatry was it for any of our Friends to write viz. Thou O North of England out of thee did the Branch spring and Star arise which gives Light to all the Regions round about in thee the Sun of Righteousness appeared c. 2. How proves F. Bugg that Fox's Disciples or Proselites as he scornfully calls them ecchoed back these Adorations to him as calling him the Branch the Star the Sun of Righteousness Alluding to Mic. 5. 2. Numb 24. 17. Mal. 4. 2. Zech. 3. 8. p. 31. I challenge Bugg to prove where the Quakers gave these Titles to the Person of George Fox or that he assumed them to himself Observe I have viewed over that Epistle of Edward Burrough's to the Camp of the Lord in England p. 64 65 66 67 where mention is made of the North of England and where the Branch did spring and the Star arise and the Sun of Righteousness appeared c. And G. F. is not so much as mentioned or named in all that Epistle and therefore Bugg has most shamefully belied and scandalized the Quakers in this point also not only in charging them that the Quakers Prophets give Witness to G. Fox instead of Christ that they call him the Branch the Star the Sun of Righteousness and put the North of England for the Town of Bethlehem N. Rom. unm Epist. to Ber. p. 2. But also because of our Testimony against this Horrid Lye and Abuse among others Bugg staged Twelve of us being Citizens Tradesmen and others of good Repute in his Mock Tryal wherein he condemns us for Perjured Persons to the Pillory with a form thereof in his N. Rom. Arraign to redicule and most grosly defame us both as to our Christian and Civil Reputations affected thereby Oh horrible Insolency and Wickedness in thee F. Bugg Thus wilfully to persist in thy Imposing gross Lies and Calumnies upon the World against us 3. What Divine Attributes did G. F. assume to himself in saying he wrote from the Mouth of the Lord or that he was cloathed with Righteousness p. 30. 5. How proves Bugg that to be a true and entire Copy of John Audland's Letter to G. F. which he cites p. 30 I deny his Citation and there 's reason to question the truth of it being also so often varied in Print and particularly from the Copy sent me by John Pennyman besides the Date of 1665 given it in the printed Libel entituled Some of the Quakers Principles c. gives more Cause to question the Truth of his Copy For that Date was Two Years after John Audland Died being in 1663 't is great Nonsense to suppose he writ it after he Died as appears by their Register of Burials in Westmorland And thou F. B. hast owned the said Libel and the
