A78608	The deceived, and deceiving Quakers discovered. Their damnable heresies, horrid blasphemies, mockings, railings, unparallel'd deceit, and dishonestly laid open. In the discovery of which, is made known the pure use of the holy scriptures (which by them is denyed) the true Christ, and how he justifies, his second coming proved not to be already (as the Quaker affirms) also the resurrection from the dead, and the eternal judgement, and several other particulars that saints are required to be stedfast in. / Set forth especially for the good of those that are called out of the world, into the primitive order of the Gospel, but may be usefull for all people. By Matthew Caffyn a servant of the Lord, related to the Church of Christ near Horsham in Sussex, being an eye, and ear-witnesse.

of nature and in many the spirit of errour their light being become darknesse being delivered up to strong delusion to beleeve lyes thinking they have Christ in them when it is a spirit of errour and so pervert the sense of the Scriptures declaring the anointing and the anointed to be all one teaching up the Spirit of Christ apart from the body of Christ to be the Christ or rather the spirit of errour in them to be the Christ come in their flesh and so in a very deceivable secret way deny Christ come in the flesh in saying he is the Christ that is within them which is an evill spirit so applying the Scriptures that speak of the Spirit of Christ dwelling in men to be that evill spirit in them so declaring that Spirit of errour in them apart from the body or flesh of Christ to bee the Christ and so deny Christ come in the flesh but note well what the Scripture of truth saith they declare that Jesus the Christ was slain Act. 2.22 23. chap. 3. 5. chap. 4.10 in chap. 5 30. Peter who was ful● of the Holy Ghost saith the God of our Fathers hath raised up Jesus whom ye SLEW and HANGED on a tree and Paul saith to the Corinth 1 Cor. 15.3 4. first of all I delivered unto you that which I received how that CHRIST DYED FOR OVR SINS according to the Scriptures and that he was BVRIED and that he AROSE the third day according to the Scriptures so it is plain that the Spirit apart from the body or flesh of Christ is not the Christ And therefore again note what Paul saith 1 Tim. 2.5 There is one God and one Mediatour BETWEEN God and man which is the MAN Christ Jesus and Heb. 10.10 sheweth that the Hebrews were sanctified by the offering of the BODY of Jesus Christ verse 19 20. seeing therefore Brethren that by the BLOOD of Jesus we may be bold to enter into the holy places by the new and living way which he hath consecrated for us through the veil that is his FLESH So that Jesus that was baptized of John in the River Jordan was anointed with the oyl of gladnesse above his fellows Mat. 3.13 16. Psal 45.7 so Jesus the Saviour is the anointed of God for he gave him not the Spirit by measure Joh. 3.34 and so the Spirit of the Lord resteth and abideth upon the MAN Christ Jesus Isa 11.2 Jo. 1.32 so then the Spirit of God or of Christ apart from the BODY of Christ is not the Christ Therefore most abominable is that which men say that that which is in them is Christ when it is a spirit of errour and so men may see how through this mystery of iniquity men come to say they are Christ for consider if the spirit in some man be the Christ what hindreth him to say hee is Christ and therefore some one presumes to say hee is Christ let no man mistake mee for I say that the Spirit of God doth dwell in the Saints and that Christ doth dwell in their hearts by faith but note that faith is the substance of things hoped for and the evidence of things not seen Heb. 11.1 so the just live by faith and look for the Son of God from Heaven whom he raised from the dead even Jesus that delivereth us from the wrath to come but to return so as to shew yet further who hath the spirit of Antichrist and they are such as race out the Ordinances of Christ which came in being when Christ came in the flesh and so declare Christ come in the flesh dead and risen again as baptism of water and breaking of bread which doth declare the Lords death till he comes 1 Cor. 11.26 Rom 6.3 4. Col. 2.12 now there are a sort of men which say to know or acknowledge Christ in the practice of those Ordinances is formall and fleshly and low and carnal and so reject the Counsel of God and will not be baptized and so not walking up in the Ordinances that did come in being when Christ came in the flesh and do so excellently declare him come in the flesh and are to continue unti●l Christ come from Heaven and change our vile bodies and make them like his most glorious body Phil. 3.20 21. I say those that do slight and reject those ordinances and say they are formall and will not practice them have the spirit of Antichrist and do deny Christ come in the flesh because they will not practice those ordinances that declare Christ come in the flesh yea more fully than the Whore for shee hath a shew and so a remembrance of those Ordinances though she have changed the subject and the manner as aforesaid but THESE root out the very being of them and so deny Christ come in the flesh and so are discovered to have the spirit of Antichrist also those that have been inlightened and have beleeved the Resurrection of the body and also the eternal Judgement and then come to question it and deny it and say the Judgement day is come have the spirit of Antichrist for Christ being put to death in the flesh and rising again from the dead so bringeth in the Resurrection of the bodyes of all men and then cometh in the eternal Judgement according to that in Act. 17.30 31. hee hath appointed a day in the which he will judge the World in Righteousnesse by that MAN whom he hath appointed whereof he hath given assurance to all men in that he hath raised him from the dead so as by man came death by man came also the resurrection of the dead for as in Adam all dye so in Christ shall all bee made alive but every man in his own order the first fruits is Christ afterwards they that are of Christ at his comming 1 Cor. 15.21 22 23. so Christ being come in the flesh the MAN Christ Saviour dyed and rose again and so comes in the Resurrection and no otherwise therefore they that deny the Resurrection of the body deny Christ come in the flesh and so have the spirit of Antichrist and therefore John writing to the Saints warning them that they take heed of the Antichristian spirit that they be not deceived exhorteth them thus let that therefore abide in you which you have heard from the beginning if that which you have heard from the beginning shall remain in you ye also shall continue in the Son and in the Father 1 Joh. 2.24 read also for this purpose the whole chapter Now that which they heard from the beginning was the beginning Word of Christ according to that of Paul 1 Cor. 15.3 4. which he delivered first of all to the Corinthians that Christ dyed for our sins according to the Scripture c. and the first principles of the word of God which is the principles of the Doctrin of Christ to wit repentance from dead works and of faith toward God the Doctrin of Baptismes and laying on of hands

the words of men but AS IT IS IN TRUTH the word of God 1 Thes 2.13 wherefore the Quaker supposing that God himself in men is their Teacher only erres not knowing the Scriptures for Israel was willing to be taught yet said they let not God speak with us but speak thou with us Moses and we will hear Exod. 20.19 and in this they well said saith God Deut. 5.28 Most true it is that no man can come to the Father but by the Son who offered up himself to death that we might have life by whose stripes we are healed without his blood there is no remission Heb. 9.22 by him also we have access unto the Father who at his right hand makes intercession for us and so he becomes our righteousnesse our sanctification and this Gospel was witnessed first by Christ himself but since saith the Apostles we pray you in Christs stead be ye reconciled to God those that were thus wrought upon through their ministry are said to be the called of Jesus Christ Rom. 1.6 Act. 28.23 and so is made good the words of Jude 3. contend earnestly for that Faith which was ONCE delivered to the Saints Object By this saith Lawson we set the Scriptures in the room of the Father and Son and so saith he deny both Father and Son Answ Many are the shifts of men to race out of the World that esteem of the Scriptures which indeed is but due being accounted by the Apostles HOLY Scriptures in respect of their use Rom. 1.2 whereby is made known the will of Christ in which we walk indeavouring through his grace the honour of the Father and Son which cannot be a denying of the Father and Son but he that hath his eyes closed will say so it is said the Scripture is profitable for teaching correction and instruction in Righteousness and that there ought to be attendance given to the reading of it yet most surely neither Paul that spoke it nor Timothy to whom it was spoken denyed either Father or Son nor pulled off the Crown from Christs head putting it upon the Scriptures as saith Lawson we do yet say no more than they did he most surely is worthy of the Crown that dyed to bring forth a word of salvation for men and that strengthens us by his Spirit to walk up accordingly from whom the Apostles removed it not yet said to men WE pray you in Christs STEAD 2 Cor. 5.20 yea and that from the Scriptures perswading men from morning till evening Act. 28.23 Aaron was to hearken unto Moses who was to put words into his mouth and therein to be unto him in STEAD of God Exod. 4.16 yet neither he nor the Apostles robbed God of his honour he being the original of him and through him and to him are all things to whom be glory for ever Rom. 11.36 Oh how great are the self-exaltations of these men how doth their arrogancy appear while they so mightily indeavour to destroy mens faith of the Scriptures as being adiscovery of the Lords will and yet in the mean while furnish the Nations almost in every corner with THEIR SCRIPTURES which is writings calling them a DISCOVERY of several particulars which they publish to men as the will of the Lord as witnesseth Deusburys book which he calls a discovery of mans return to his first estate with a discovery of Mystery Babylon Martha Simmons also speaks something in discovery of the nakednesse of all professions c. Farnworth also hath writ that the Truth might be cleared and the ignorance both of Priest and people might be discovered What! O friends may men know from their writings and yet not from the holy writings which were written for that very end that the CERTAINTY of the Lords will might be known Luk. 1.3 4. and that men MIGHT beleeve Joh. 20.31 God forbid Object Also I deny the Spirit saith Lawson in his book in saying that by the Scriptures is made known or revealed the will of Christ because the Spirit searches all things yea the deep things of God Answ There is indeed such words spoken by Paul 1 Cor. 2.10 but Lawson waiting so much upon the darkness within him hath wrested the Scripture and so himself is found unlearned 2 Pet. 2.16 though he hath talked so much of the tongue of the learned for the Apostle in the words before saith that eye hath not seen nor ear heard c. the things which God hath prepared for them that love him but God saith Paul hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit that is them things which God hath prepared for those that love him wherefore he saith vers 12. that we might know the things which are freely given to us of God wherefore most plainly will it appear to him that searches that the Apostle THERE speaks not of the Spirits revealing the duty of man but rather of the great glory and reward that is the portion of them that walk up in their duty though it is not to be denyed but rather witnessed by experienced souls that the Spirit doth teach them manisesting and laying open particularly the corruption of the heart which is but in general heads signified in Scripture and not only so but also mortifies the same Rom. 8.13 and also beareth witness with our spirit that we are the children of God verse 16. 〈◊〉 so are we sealed with the holy Spirit of promise Ephes 1.13 moreover by the Spirit is revealed and clearly made known those particulars which are obscurely signified in the Scripture Ephes 3.5 6. which things together with the revelations of the future glory the naturall man receives not for they are foolishness unto him wherefore he is required in the first place to repent and be baptized for the remission of sins and then is he under the promise of the holy Spirit Act 2.38 through which he may discern these things for they are spiritually discerned Object The manifestation of the Spirit is given to every man to profit withall but by reason of darkness it is not comprehended Answ Christ the true Light speaks otherwise saying that the World CANNOT RECEIVE the Spirit wherefore though the Spirit be a Teacher as aforesaid yet it is to be considered that the promise thereof so as to dwell in men is to such as yeeld obedience to that self-denying Doctrin of repentance and are not ashamed of those ordinances that belong to penitent men wherefore saith the Apostles God hath given the Spirit to them that OBEY him Act. 5.32 and those that say God hath given him also to disobedient men as a dweller in them doth make the Apostles words of no effect if the Spirit dwel in every unbeleeving man what meaneth Paul when he asked the Disciples whether they had received the Spirit SINCE they beleeved moreover when they signified their ignorance saying we have not so much as heard whether there be any holy Spirit Paul did not as we find tell them that they were mistaken

shall SO COME as yee have seen him go into Heaven the Quaker saith not SO but let us with John say even SO COME LORD JESUS But that which is written must first be accomplished even the revelation of the Man of sin the Son of perdition 2 Thess 2.3 4. the vile person which Daniel Prophesied of succeeding the raiser of Taxes Dan. 11.20 21. who shall do according to HIS WILL the light within he saies and shall exalt himself and magnifie himself above every God and shall speak marvellous things against the GOD OF GODS neither shall he REGARD THE GOD OF HIS FATHERS who witnessed their God to bee in Heaven but tells us of a God within their flesh so as to expect his coming NO OTHERWISE wherefore saith Daniel he shall acknowledge a STRANGE GOD vers 36 37 39. by whose direction he shall make Warre with the Saints and shall prevail against them UNTILL the ancient of days come and the time when the Saints shall possess the Kingdom Dan. 7.20 21 22. hee shall indeed THINK to change Times and Laws but the Judgement shall sit though he say it bee past to him and the Kingdom and Dominion and the greatness of the Kingdom under the whole Heaven shall be given to the Saints wherefore comfort one another with these words vers 25 26 27. for though for a season we may be slighted by reason of him whose looks Daniel saith is more STOVT THAN HIS FELLOWS Dan. 7.20 and though GREAT WORDS may bee spoken against the most High vers 25. who is our God whom we witness to be in Heaven as the holy men of old did yet he shall descend from Heaven to our joy and in that day this shall bee said LO THIS IS OVR GOD we have waited for him and he will save us THIS IS THE LORD we have waited for him we will bee glad and rejoyce in HIS SALVATION Isa 25.9 but of this Salvation the foolish Virgins comes short of as well as the Antichrist wherefore in the fear of the Lord our God BE ZEALOVS WATCH AND PRAY WITH FASTING Mark I pray you the foundation that is already laid for the mystery of this iniquity to work upon I mean their saying that Christ is come and their looking for him no otherwise to come for the Scripture saith when Christ comes he will command his Angels to gather out of his Kingdom all things that offend Mat. 13.40 41. then also the Nations is to be ruled with a Rod of Iron and shall be broken like a Potters vessel Rev. 2.25 26 27. Christ revealing himself from heaven in flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God 2 Thess 1.7 8. we saith the Quaker are the only Ministers of God and they are said to be made a flame of fire Heb. 1.7 and say they Christ is now revealed in us as aforesaid what then should hinder them who are so apt to pervert the Scriptures in time to bee perswaded in flaming fire to take vengeance on them that know not God in their sense and that offend in their sense and pretend it to be Christ in them the flaming fire taking vengeance according to the Scriptures but perhaps the Quaker will say at present as Hazael did What am I a Dogge that I should do this great thing 2 King 8.13 yet it may be the issue like that of Hazael however O Friends let not things present nor things to come separate us from the love of God which hath abounded to us in Christ Jesus The Quaker saith that the Offering of Christs Body to be broken and his Bloud to be shed avails not so as through faith therein to set free from sin but bloud in a Mystery and a body in a Mystery which we know not what it is saith Lawson in his Book p. 18. which was typified by the fleshly body of Christ and his Bloud and so in them is fulfilled the Prophesie of Peter who foretold the bringing in of damnable Heresies even DENYING THE LORD THAT BOVGHT THEM which they must needs do that affirm Christ is already come the second time and LOOKS for him to come NO OTHERWISE whom they say NEVER DIED All that is written must be fulfilled therefore this may not seem strange nor indeed those many DOVBLE-MEANING expressions that we meet withall as coverts to hide the nakedness thereof for saith Peter they shall PRIVILY bring in this damnable Heresie 2 Pet. 2.1 therefore though John speak of a people that denieth both Father and Son yet that they should not pretend both is altogether incredible considering that Sathan transforms himself to be as it were an Angel of LIGHT wherefore it is said to be a MYSTERY of iniquity Oh then how should we labour to be enriched with heavenly wisdom for the hour is a coming and now is wherein we must wrastle against Principalities and the Powers of the darkness of this World and who is sufficient for these things surely they and they only that are not ashamed of the Lord Jesus and his words without whom we can do nothing whom the Quaker knows not owns not for God hath sent him the strong delusion that he should beleeve a lye Wherefore hee saith boldly but blasphemously that the Lord Jesus whom we profess is accursed professing a sp●rit within him to be the only Christ which he supposes was in the fleshly Body of Christ and there suffered reproaches revilings and the like and is saith Parnel * In his Shield of Truth p 34. NOW manifested in the likeness of sinful flesh to condemn sin in the flesh yea and that saith Nayler * In Satans design discovered p. 25. by his own sufferings with them in them but Paul being of another spirit speaks of the fleshly Body of Christ in that place Rom. 8.3 which was indeed the likeness of but not sinful flesh Heb. 4.15 and not in the least of the sinful flesh of men so as to bear away sin by his suffering in their bodies for saith the Apostle himself bare our sins in his OWN BODY on the Tree 1 Pet. 2.24 and by this ONE OFFERING he hath perfected for ever them that are sanctified Heb. 10.14 having made thereby a way for such to enter boldly into the holiest even by his BLOVD through the vail that is to say HIS FLESH vers 19. 20 according to which the Apostle saith he hath made peace through the bloud of his Cross Col. 1.20 and you hath hee reconciled in the BODY OF HIS FLESH THROVGH DEATH vers 22. not flesh and bloud as Types for my Flesh is meat INDEED saith Christ and my Bloud drink INDEED which he gave for the life of the World himself being the substance of those many types of the Law wherefore the bodies of those Beasts whose bloud was brought into the Sanctuary for sin being burnt without the Camp Jesus also that he might sanctifie the people with his own bloud suffered without the Gate Heb. 13.11 12. according

wherefore O friends as ye have received hold fast and grow as to the use of it The Quaker also denies the practice of the Lords supper which saith Lawson Christ put to an end at his death It is no marvel that they deny this since they are not afraid to say that the body and blood of Christ is unprofitable as to the setting free from sin which is to be in this remembred but unto us to whom the one is esteemable let the other also for indeed it is absurd to affirm that Christ should give forth a commandement to his Apostles bidding them to do it in remembrance of him and within four or five dayes put it to an end by his death yea before they were or could be in any considerable posture to observe it and yet afterwards to command them to teach all Nations to observe all together incredible most evident it is that afterwards the Apostle delivered this ordinance unto the Saints and afterwards regulated their disorder therein according to Christs institution 1 Cor. 11. and the bread which they in this ordinance used Paul saith they BREAK 1 Cor. 10.16 by which their mystery is excluded wherefore though Parnell be pleased to say that this is a feeding upon husks yet let us therein hold forth the Lords death TILL HEE COME The Horrid Blasphemy of the Quaker revealed MAny a time when I have spoken both words of truth and soberness the Quaker hath pronounced the curses and plagues of God to be my portion which seemed not a little strange unto mee that men pretending perfection should thus rage but since I have found him not afraid to speak evil of the Lord himself for more than once Thomas Laucock Quaker-teacher hath said that the Lord Jesus Christ is ACCURSED him whom we professe even him that was born of the Virgin anointed of God with the holy Spirit whom the Jews crucified and slew whom God raised from the dead who ascended into Heaven and there mediates between God and men this is the Christ whom we own against whom the Quaker blaspheming is found not to have the Spirit of God though he talk so much of the Spirit for plainly saith the Apostle 1 Cor. 12.3 NO man speaking by the Spirit of God calleth Jesus ACCURSED and so being sensuall having not the Spirit said at other times that hee knew mee BEFORE THE WORLD WAS in whom is made good that saying viz. they speak great SWELLING WORDS OF VANITY 2 Pet. 2.18 and as Isaiah prophesieth shall say in his heart I will be LIKE THE MOST HIGH Isa 14.14 for foreknowledge is that by which God advanceth his supreamacy above all wherefore it is said Isa 41.26 who hath declared from the beginning that wee may know and before time that wee may say hee is righteous yea there is none that declareth there is none that sheweth yet saith Laucock HE knew mee before the World was and James Parnell saith * In Naylers book called Satans design discovered p. 51. before corrupt reason was I AM Oh that they had such a heart that could learn not to blaspheme but this is that the Scripture might be fulfilled which testifieth of this strong delusion which being seized upon these men they conceive the foreknowing God is so appeared in them as that hee shall appear no otherwise and so speaks these words in them what is there O friends that ever was spoken by the Lord himself to the sons of men that these may not upon this account attribute unto themselves and speak likewise and what is there of all that is to be done by the mighty power of God that these may not as well challenge unto themselves thus conceiving of God in them as to say that THEY knew men before the World was what is there to hinder them from saying VENGEANCE BELONGS UNTO US and so become the revealed SON OF PERDITION who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God or that is worshipped shewing himself that HE IS GOD 2 Thes 2.3 4. yea so strong already are they in their conceits of the present finishing of things as that Nayler * Satans design discovered p. 26. blasphemously affirms that to promise freedome after death is a CHEAT OF ANTICHRIST and moreover saith * pa. 19. that by preaching of a Christ in Heaven the Devil gets his work done on earth O how doth arrogancy and spirituall pride put forth it self how great is the darknesse of this pretended Light the imperfection of this pretended perfection such also is their pride and self-conceitednesse as that they will not by no means say MOST NOBLE FESTUS Act. 26.25 but rather are such as despise DOMINION and speak evill of dignities Jude 8. but this also is that the Scriptures might be fulfilled Dan. 7.20 whose look was MORE STOUT THAN HIS FELLOWS fear yee the Lord fear yee the Lord. The Scoffings of the Quaker manifested AS we have heard that Scoffers should come in the last dayes even now already are they come whereby we may know that it is the last of the last dayes for at a certain time when I with other brethren was reasoning with Thomas Laucock concerning the comming of Christ he scoffingly said WHERE IS THE PROMISE OF HIS COMMING IS HE ASLEEP these very words I speak the truth in Christ I lye not did he utter before many witnesses by which he is found to be of them that Peter prophesied of saying in the last dayes there should come scoffers saying where is the promise of his comming 2 Pet. 3.3.4 he that by this sees not let him remain blind moreover such and so great is the darknesse of the Quaker concerning Christ and his comming as that at another time in a conference about Christ in Heaven he scoffingly replyed saying WHAT IS HEE THREE OR FOUR STORY HIGH ABOVE SKIE but saith the Saints seeing then that we have a high Priest that is passed into the Heavens even Jesus the Son of God let us hold fast our profession but saith the scoffing Quaker How can we have comfort or peace by Christ and he so farre off from us above skie hee is saith the Saints gone into Heaven whom having not seen yee love in whom though now yee see him not yet beleeving yee rejoyce with joy UNSPEAKABLE and FULL OF GLORY 1 Pet 1.8.3.22 whatever they say he that SHALL come WILL come and will not tarry fear yee the Lord fear yee the Lord. The Fierceness or Raylings of the Quaker discovered IVde the Servant of the Lord speaks of a people that are as RAGING waves of the Sea foming out their own shame vers 13. how nigh of kin the Quaker is to them judge yee by this following description of their behaviour towards me when I have been amongst them who at several times thus have said to me in great rage and fury of spirit Thou Beast bruit beast thou Witch thou Devil thou Reprobate thou Enemy of God for the Lake thou
