Clearly laid open in an answer to Thomas Moor, who calls his book an Antidote against the spreading infections, &c. Wherein is discovered the crooked ways the winding Serpent takes to save his head, and reproach the truth with lies, that by any means he might make people believe that a lying spirit is among the Quakers, but is found within him. With 48. lies, taken out from three times as many, and sent back to be proved by the founder of them, T.M.

own ignorance but thou canst not Judge our knowledge he is above thy wrath though Babell thou be building but you that deny Gods being manifest or working in you now whose is those works you are performing and that righteousnesse you are calling for from others Is it not plaine that you are with the Jews stablishing your own works which God works not in you tho you be hurried headlong so as this you wil not consider for that which is not Gods work is your owne and God will be served with his own but this the world knows not who serves their belly And thou tellest the Father hath put all things under his feete I say he that spoke those words could witnesse it but if thou mind thou maist see the liar false accuser and envious blasphemer yet raigning as thy booke may make manifest and thy confusion who saith page 24 that it cannot be perfectly said that God in an absolute sence was or is manifested in the flesh of any Son of Adam and in thy next page thou faist the body is the Temple of the Lord in which God primely and chiefly dwelleth and manifesteth himselfe the thing which thou hast so often before denied and thou goest about to deny the manifestation of the Sons of God untill the end of the world I say the world will not have an end with thy generation while there is ought to be got by favour or force but the Sons of God was manifest with the Saints while they lived in this world 1 John 3. 1 2. and therein was their boldnesse that as he is so was they in this world 1 Iohn 4. 17. and thou heapest up a great deale of confusion to deny the life of Christ to be made manifest in any till after death shewing thy selfe to be one of those spoken on Eph. 4. 18. 19. who is alienated from the life of God because of the blindnesse of the heart who hath not learned Christ and so given over for he that hath not the Spirit of Christ is none of his and he that hath the Spirit hath the life which destroyes death and reveales darknesse which thou calls an imagination and how unwilling is the Devill that the life of Christ should be received it is death to him and his Ministers so they all oppose it what paines hast thou taken in thy booke for thy Master and thy greatest businesse is to darken the appearance of Christ in Spirit that none may looke for it nor beleive it for the Devill knows that faith breaks his covenant and the incomming of Christ is his outcasting so thy worke is to keepe Christ out untill people be dead so the Devill may keepe his seate while they live yet though they be found in this Work withstanding the knowledge of Christ in the Creature and his appearance yet thou canst not bear it to be called a Minister of Antichrist Also thou pleadest hard for Sin and Self while all men lives accusing Richard Farnsworth for witnessing Moitification and death of Sin and would bring Paul against him who once was in the Warfare and then wretched but afterward more then a Conquerour and could do all things through the life of Christ in him which thou deniest but that thou mindest not to Gal. 2. 20. Rom. 8. 37 38. preach the life of Christ for that is to preach the death of sinne which is not thy work who art preaching it up for term of life not onely in thy self but in all other as far as it lies in thy power calling Perfection a devillish Doctrine pleading against it and for sinne with all thy power such a work as never a Minister of Christ was ever found in as all that search the Scriptures may witness against thee All that ever preached Christ preached perfection and pressed after it and believed it to which thy Faith is reprobare with which thou doest accuse us and the Faith of all that believe you you have overthrown so that none that believe you can believe freedome and yet to blind people withall faist Let all them that name the Name of the Lord depart from iniquity when thou hast preached up no putting off the body of sinne till after death and thou goest on as thy main business still preaching Christ out of his People saying not one in the Heavens and another dwelling in us clearly shewing thou knowest not him that filleth Heaven and Earth and knowest not him that is over all and in all and so judges him like thy self who can but be in one place And thou saist that Paul was the last Act. 9. 10 11. Act. 13. 2 that was immediatly called which is no truer then the rest for immediatly was Ananias Barnabas and others called since But it is as hard for thy Spirit to speak truth as for the Leopard to change his spots yet full of slanders and would judge my Faith concerning Christ by thy Doubtings thereby to cast a Mist and make the truth odious What would'st thou do had'st thou any ground for thy wickedness who chargest such Blasphemies against me upon no other grounds but thy doubting it to be so Hast thou done herein as thou would'st be done by May not all that reade thee see thy venome cast upon me which shall return on thy self and for it thou shalt answer And when thou hast raised these abominable Lies as I deny the Person of Christ or his being in Heaven from thy own doubts then thou would'st make a do to prove him in Heaven and that he hath a Body when all is but to disprove thy own Lye and not my judgment yet it is thy intent to cast it upon me but the righteous Judge shall return the wickedness of the Wicked upon his own Pate and in thy busie mind thou art telling of the place where the Majesty of God dwells a place thou never saw and thou sayst no meer man as from Adam can approach or see the Lords Throne in Heaven I say thou bablest thou knowest not what Who must appear before his Throne if none as from Adam must He that over comes saith Christ will I give Re v. 3. to sit with me upon my Throne even as I have overcome and am sit down with my Father in his Throne Did not John see the Throne and him that sate thereon and Stephen also and was not they from Adam Do'st not thou here deny the Resurrection of the body Thy Generation knowes too much of the glory of the World to know what the Throne of God is And thou make'st an Objection Can flesh and bloud enter into the Kingdome of Heaven and thou answerest no Yet saist thou the same flesh and bones shall the bloud being poured out and gone as it was in the person of Christ I say what confused stuff is this that proceeds from thy Imaginations Is Christ ascended without bloud or is it onely the bloud of People that keepes them from ascending which they

his sufferings which he suffered in his own person who is the everlasting sacrifice for of our selves without him in us we can do nothing but as he is the doer and sufferer in us But this the wantons knowes not nor the Beasts of the field who live in jollity but despise the chastisements of the Sonne who is perfected through sufferings in which he leads all his and suffers with them and beares up the world who know him not which shall account for his sufferings and piercings woundings and reproaches though now you regard not nor are sensible of your wickedness in your souls or bodies as thou sayst you are not And you are they that cannot confess Christ come in your flesh now to give you a sense of your sins and suffer with you in all your passage out of the world and so are the Antichrists John speaks of but this you would shuffle off by saying you consess him come at Jerusalem and there suffered in his own person I say so did those John speaks of and so doth the Pope now and all his Rabble from the highest to the lowest of you and if that confession in word he acknowledge of that spirit of God John speaks on then where is the spirit of Antichrist the Pope will quit himself by as large confession of words as you but neither he nor you brings forth his life into the word and so confess him in you in buffettings whippings mockings imprisonments and all other sufferings for his righteous name in you and his righteous nature acting you contrary to selfe this would destroy your Partonages pride and stateliness from the least of you who calles your selves his Ministers to the Pope who weares his treble Crown and yet calls himself a Servant of Servants and so you are of them who in words confess him but in works deny him but it is the appearance of Christ in his Saints in all Generations which hath judged Antichrist which ever put his appearance into another age afar off but now hath put his appearance into another world so far from owning him manifested in any measure in their mortall bodies that they hold it blasphemy for any to witness him where he is appeared and this is the spirit of Antichrist gone out into the world and now is in the world would exclude Christ out of the world that he with his polluted spirit under fair pretences might rule the world being got into the hearts of worldly men and women now preacheth up his Kingdom here for terme of life and to cheat the more promiseth freedom after death and this faith hath he begotten in the world and his Ministers preach it and uphold it with all their power both in practice and Doctrine and the people where the lust is entered love to have it so but blessed be the Lord who hath appeared and is appearing in the hearts of mortal men and women and there is manifest revealing the man of sin and ruling the Creation and he is known to be Antichrist whose heart is without Christ and cannot confesse him manifest come in Spirit into the heart of flesh but such who there see him judgeth Antichrist and his Doctrine and so thou art judged and thy worke in thy booke which is to preach Christ out of the heart and not to be manifested in the flesh and thou art he who would make God a liar who saith he hath given his Son into the world for a Leader and Ruler to the people of all generations that will beleive in his light and own him who is the same yesterday and to day and for ever and this is the Testimony of Jesus by thee rejected but by us received in Spirit and spirituall Ministation not in the letter but within in Spirit And thou goes on to tell how the teachings of the Father is held forth and thou saist first in all the 2 Cor. 3. 6. books of his Creation Chastisements and Changes c. Secondly more clearely and abundantly in the holy Scriprures To which I say there is another thing before both these the Fountaine of both these and that is the Spirit of God and light of Christ without a measure whereof neither of these can teach though the wisest men in the world have both these as is plaine by the Jews who far exceed all you in the knowledge of the letter and strictnesse of life thereto yet know not the voices of the Prophets nor Moses that gave it forth as is plaine Acts 13. 27. and these had the Scriptures and the Creation also but not having the Word in them by which the Creation was made was led by the Devill Iohn 5. 38 39. 40. Iohn 19. 7. to spend it upon their lusts and though they searched the Scriptures and thought to have eternall life in them yet they crucified him that was the eternall life and brought the Scriptures to do it by thy worke in thy booke nay the Disciples themselves though they had the Scriptures and the book of the Creation and had beene with Christ many yeares yet could not understand the Scriptures till by his Spirit he lightned their understandings as is plaine Luke 24. 45. and this was after his resurrection also and if all these came short till inspired with the Spirit and enlightned and 2 Pet. 3. 16 if all that are unlearned and unstablished with that Spirit wrest all Scriptures to their own destruction then it is plaine that neither Scripture nor Creation can be rightly used without the light of Christ and hough the Scriptures be profitable for the man of God furnishing him for good works yet when the man of Sin reads it he therewith pleads for Sin and furnisheth himselfe against all good works and this is seene largely in thy booke so I say the Spirit is before the letter and is given to lead into all truth without which the Devill turnes the letter into a lie and would tempt with it and 2 Timr 3. 16. 17. so thy literall teaching without the Spirit is little worth and though thy whole drift be all along to deny the Spirit and set up the letter in his stead and to that end hast reckoned up the Names of many of the Saints of God which makes little for thy purpose who were all men that were taught in Spirit need not to run nnto a John 16. 13. booke so seeke their knowledge but had the word of the Lord from Gods own mouth and there was the Oracle whereat they enquired which thou would it make the letter to be who never knew what it was to enquire at his mouth whose Ministry is literall Andthou tellest of many things and the deliverance of God from the envy that was against his people and this thou would set up for a teacher but canst not see the envy against them now and their deliverance as great as ever from all you Woolves that seeke to devour with open mouth thy blind
