Prelaticals Here is the Womb of your Conception opened c. Now Brother Ben. all these things considered what reason had our dear Brother in Iniquity G. Whitehead to presume had not he been Impudent as well as Presumptuous That the Government should so far tolerate us and not Assist G. Keith who hold all the Essential Points of the Christian Faith that the Men of the World hold viz. First That Faith in our Lord Jesus Christ as he Suffered and rose again from the Dead is necessary to our Salvation Secondly That Justification and Sanctification is by Faith in the Blood of Christ outwardly shed being applyed by Faith and the Operation of his Holy Spirit in us Thirdly That after Death there will be a Resurrection of the Body that dyeth Fourthly And that Christ will come without us in his Glorified Body at the Day of Judgment to Judge both the Quick and the Dead and whose Principles lead him to submit to Authority witness his keeping the Fast appointed by King William April 28. 1697. When our Brethrens Shops were open in Submission to the Commandment of our great Apostle G. Fox I say all these things considered I cannot but marvel at our Brother Whitehead's Presumption not to say Impudence really Brother Ben. I am perswaded we loose Ground and I fear we are going downwards and that our fall will be speedy unless we sincerely Retract our Scandalous Books and Erroneous Writings and though our Brother Whitehead neither consult Events nor fear Effects I think it will stand us in hand to look about us So that we have little reason to boast of being Recognized Protestants by such as we account Christians and whom we would not tolerate no more then we would Tolera Papists or such as Worship false Gods as this Book of ours Teach Clark Fifthly Well come 't is not very late and since we are entred into Discourse let us talk freely I will warrant thee that John Pennyman George Keith Francis Bugg and Thomas Crisp before they left us have had many an Hours Discourse of this Kind pray then what think you of G. Whitehead is he not very bold to send out the Quakers Protestation against the meeting appointed by G. Keith And therein to be so Presumptuous as to suggest that G. Keith had not License of the Civil Authority as if he knew the Lord Mayors Place and Power better than himself Teach I Answer G. Whitehead was not only Bold but Impudent But what shall I say I have of late seen his Books and considered them and 't is like him every way I remember I saw a Friend that was lately in the North and saw his House where he was born not worth Fifty Shillings I Discoursed another that said he came among us a poor Boy on foot and lived upon Alms yet lately Riding out of Town he had Ben. Antrobus to ride before him and Tho. Kent one of our Ministers worth many Hundreds of Pounds rod behind him carrying his Portmantel and he in State in the mdidle like some Peer which answers the Old Proverb set a Beggar on Horseback and he knows not how to Ride Again for us that account the Church of England the Whore of Babylon and Antichristians Summon the Bishops Dialogue the Clergy Arraign Try and Condemn the Protestants and declare in our Books that t is as Laudable to tolerate Popery as Episcopacy And after all this to presume that the Government thus Condemned will so stand by us Assist us and Defend us as not to have our Errors exposed this is such Presumption and manifest Impudence that I presume hath not a Parallel Clark Well but I have heard that in Scotland as well as in France that the Government do not permit the Presbyterians to hold a Synod unless they have a Commissioner Recide therein but I confess we are above that First we scorn to ask the World's People leave for we once a Year in Whitson-Week hold a Synod keep our Doors Lock'd or else a good Guard to keep out the World's People and when we are met we consider what Laws the Worldly Magistrates have made which sute not with our Light within And if we find any for paying Tythes or Repairing Churches or the like them we give warning to all our Associates through the Kingdom of England Dominion of Wales and Town of Berwick upon Tweed not to pay to them but Testifie against them as a Grand viz. a great Oppression and not only so but which is ten times worse an Antichristian Yoke and thereby Absolve our Disciples from their Obedience to the Laws of the Land And if the King himself give forth a Proclamation to keep a Fast we matter it no more than we do their Law for Tyth's they being both against the Commandment of George Fox our great Apostle see part the first p. 12. Now the Question is whether this be not great Impudence Teach Answer yea and if I do answer I must say yea but 't is like all our Proceedings For First our Books teach that George Fox was Glorified at Lancaster Assize 1664. That none knew him nor his Name that he was before Languages were part the first p. 38. That he see the Heavens opened that he was in the Paradise of God so fill'd with Power having on his Leather Bretches that the World's People did fly before him that in Beverly Church he was like an Angel and spoke the Wonderful things of God The Voice of God came to a Trooper and bid him go to G. Fox for Direction F. Howgill said of him that he spake with Authority and not like the Scribes Jos Cole said his Kingdom was Established in Righteousness and of the Increase thereof there shall be no end Sol. Eccles said of him the World was made by him John Audland said Dear and Precious one in whom my Life is bound up and my Strength in thee stands Then he went through the City of Litchfield baresoot crying wo wo to the Bloody City of Litchfiield I saw in the Street a Pole of Blood c. and a hundred Lyes Stories and Fables and pretended Miracles in his Journal c. And for us to think that the Government will be against the Discovery of these and the like Errors no let us not be mistaken I am truly Brother Ben. afraid that G. Keith Francis Bugg Thomas Crisp and others follow us up so to the Heels as at last we shall be forced either to Retract our Errors or do worse and then we shall go down faster then we got up And so fare thee well till I see the next Volume of G. Fox I must go hence 't is late The Conclusion Christian Reader I think the Friends have spoke more truth in a corner in two or three hours time than all their Leaders have Preached this 20 years But say some if these things be so in very deed how came they to obtain so many and frequent Favours of the Government I Answer

Gentlemen Justices of the Peace Ministers of the Gospel and People within the County Sheweth That George Fox and James Nayler are Persons disaffected to Religion and the wholsome Laws of this Nation and that since their coming into this County have broached Opinions tending to the destruction of the Relation of Subjects to Magistrates Wives to their Husbands Children to their Parents Servants to their Masters Congregations to their Ministers and of People to their God † † Indeed Mr. Croese in the foregoing recital tacitly says the same and have drawn much People after them many whereof Men Women and Children at their Meetings are strangely wrought upon in their Bodies and brought to fall foam at the Mouth roar and swell in their Bellies and that some of them affirm themselves to be equal with God contrary to the late Act as hath been attested at a late Quarter Sessions holden at Lancaster in October last and since that time acknowledged before many Witnesses besides many other dangerous Opinions and damnable Heresies as appear by a Schedule hereunto Annexed c. May it therefore please Your Honours upon consideration of the Premises to provide a Remedy as to your Wisdoms shall seem meet that some speedy course may be taken for the speedy suppressing these Evils And your Petitioners shall ever pray as in duty bound 1. Charge That George Fox professed and avowed that he was equal with God Defence It was not so spoken as Geo. Fox was equal with God but the Father and the Son is one I and my Father are one and where the same is revealed this is witnessed Let the same mind be in you that was also in Christ Jesus who being in the Form of God thought it no Robery to be equal with God and this I witness to be fulfilled for the same Spirit where it is is equal with God and he that hath the same Spirit that raised Jesus Christ is equal with God Observa Mark Reader here is the Charge that 's Blasphemy you do not hear him deny it only he brings in an Equivocation like G. W.'s It is not spoken of George Fox who then is that He I say who is this He if not George that Hath for He and Hath are but the Relative and the Verb. It cannot be meant here that the Spirit of God is equal no it is and He the Man that hath the Spirit which raised Jesus Christ is equal with God 'T is prov'd Blasphemy beyond all the Quakers Glossing 2. Charge That George Fox professed himself to be the Eternal Judge of the World Defence He that was a Minister of God said that the Saints should Judge the World yea Angels Herein they do shew themselves to be no Ministers of God Observe The Charge is confess'd and the Ministers who handed the Petition condemned as no Ministers of Christ for that they will not allow George Fox to be the Eternal Judge of the World 3. Charge He said he was Christ the Way the Truth and the Life Defence The old Man cannot endure to hear the new Man speak which is Christ and Christ is the Way and if Christ be in you must he not say I am the Way the Truth and the Life Observ 1. The Charge is Blasphemy 2. 'T is not denyed but fairly owned and the Petitioners justified to be wise and good Men and not wicked Men nor Fools 4. Charge That George Fox said whosoever took a place of Scripture and made a Sermon of it and from it was a Conjurer and his preaching was from Conjuration Defence And all that do study to raise a living thing out of a dead to raise the Spirit out of the Letter are Conjurers and draw Points and Reasons and so do speak a Divination of their own Brain they are Conjurers and Deceivers and their Teaching is from Conjuration which is not spoken from the Mouth of the Lord c. Observ What contempt is here thrown upon the Scripture and upon all the Servants of God who from the beginning of the planting of Christianity have frequently read the Scripture in the Churches and sometimes have expounded a Chapter and Catechized c. And frequently have taken a portion of Scripture and open'd it and held it forth to the People What signifies the Quakers vindicating the Martyrs printing a Book in Folio Entituled The Spirit of the Martyrs revived c. 'T is not reviv'd in the Quakers surely when they thus condemn them and their practice and condemn all Ministers of the Christian Faith as Conjurers Diviners c. This I would ask G. W. whether these following Martyrs and Ministers were Conjurers and Deceivers Viz. Cranmer Archbishop of Canterbury Ridly Bishop of London Latimer Bishop of Worcester Hooper Bishop of Glecester Bradford Prebendary of St. Pauls Dr. Taylor Parson of Hadly I say were these and their Brethren which took places of Scripture and Preached from them with the Assistance of God's Spirit accompaning the Ordinance all Conjurers and Diviners 5. Charge That Fox said the Scriptures were Carnal Defence The Letter of the Scripture is Carnal Obser This contempt is confessed c. 6. Charge R. Hubberthorn said that Christs coming in the Flesh was but a Figure Defence As he is held forth in the Scripture Letter without them as in the Flesh without them he is their Example or Figure which is both one Obser Then Christ in the days of his Flesh was but a Figure his Death and Sufferings a Figure his Resurrection and Ascension a Figure of the Quakers Light within them his Death within them his Crucifixion and Resurrection within them This is perfect Blasphemy and infallible Quakerism 7. Charge Ja. Milner professeth himself to be God and Christ and gives out Prophesies that the day of Judgment shall be the 5th of Novem. next that there shall never sit Judge more at Lancaster that he must e'er long shake the Foundation of the great Synagogue i. e. the Parliament c. Defence George Fox said as for Ja. Milner tho' his Mind did run out from his Condition and from minding that Light of God which was in him whereby the World takes occasion to speak against the Truth and many Friends stumble at it yet there is a pure Seed in him Obser I am the longer on this Head because it contains all the Pillars upon which Quakerism stands Gen. Hist p. 103. say these Words were denyed there is not a word of reproof like that of the Apostle who has bewitched you Not a word of condemning his Blasphemy but all is hush'd he had a pure Seed in him I write the more for Mr. Croese his sake that he may see and in seeing may correct the Quakers for their false Information 8. Charge Leo Fell said that Christ had no other Body but his Church Defence There is one Body and one Spirit even as ye are called c. Obser John Whitehead Joshua Coal and as many of them as have spake honestly what they
