faith but that faith alone justifies which gives to receive Christ and him to live in us and to dwell in us by that faith They utterly renounce the Doctrine of justification by the imputation of the righteousnesse of Christ or by the obedience he performed or sufferings he sustained or underwent in his own person without us Answer This is partly true and partly a lie we do indeed renounce the profession of justification by the imputation of Christ or his Righteousnesse performed without men by men while they are in the degenerated estate and unconverted and unreconciled and unborn again for by such profession of justification many deceive their souls but yet we say that Righteousnesse is imputed to us and reckoned unto us who believe in Christ and have received him even the obedience and sufferings that he performed without us is ours who have received him within us and witnesseth Christ in us and therefore we are not reprobates yet we do acknowledge he wrought perfect righteousnesse by obedience and suffering without us and that righteousnesse is ours by faith which faith hath received Christ to dwell in us and he and his righteousnesse his obedience and sufferings we enjoy in us in spirit if any can receive it let them for that he wrought Righteousnesse this is acknowledged but who hath a part in this righteousnesse that is disputable They wholly renounce the Doctrine of Election and Reprobation and it is one of the great reasons for which they decry the Ministers because they assert it they say Jacob and Esau are in a man and the good seed is Jacob which God electeth and the bad seed is Esau which he reprobates Answ. The Doctrine of Election and Reprobation we do own according to the Scriptures and therefore hast thou belied us and slandered us and art found reproveable and would incense mens minds against us for advantage to thy self but to some in that house we are better known then thou canst report of us and yet thou sayest we say that Iacob and Esau are in a man and the good seed God electeth and the bad he Reprobates and thou mayest here see thy confusion and thy ignorance uttered in the self same lines for thou sayest we renounce the Doctrine of Election and Reprobation and yet sayest we say the good seed God electeth and the bad seed he reprobateth and this shewes what spirit thou art of and how that the spirit of unrighteousnesse doth possess thee and leads thee to speak without understanding and we further say man being degenerated became reprobated and cast out and all by nature are the children of wrath and the children of wrath are all in the reprobate state and none are elected but who are elected in Christ the seed of David and so in the first Adam all are reprobated and all that are in the second Adam are elected and the Election and Reprobation stands not in the persons but in the seeds and yet the persons are blessed or cursed in the love or in the displeasure of God according as the seed of God or the seed of the Serpent lives and dwels and bears rule in the persons and we do indeed decry and deny you the professed Ministers upon many accounts more then one and we have already and may in time to come shew sufficient reasons against you both in Doctrine and practise and otherwayes that you are not the Ministers of Christ but the Ministers of Satan generally That Iesus Christ as he is the seed of the woman and the seed of Abraham is in every one and that a measure or part of the substance that was conceived in the womb of the Virgin Mary is in every one Answ. Jesus Christ he is the seed of the woman and the seed of Abraham according to the flesh and after the spirit the Son of the living God and this Christ that was and is and is to come who was dead but is alive and lives for evermore the alone Saviour of the world he hath given a measure of Light and Life unto every man and there is a Light from him that shines in the hearts of all men shining in darknesse the Light shines but the darknesse comprehends it not and this was Iohns Testimony and is our Testimony that Christ enlighteneth every man or all mankind that cometh into the World for in him was life and the Life was the Light of men as the scripture saith and the Apostle Preached the Light that shined in peoples hearts and it was that Light that gave them the Light of the knowledge of the Glory of God but thou hast discovered thy self to be a stumbler at the stumbling-stone and hath taken offence at the light like the Pharisees who professed the scriptures as the Priests of England do but were ignorant of the Life the end of the words and knew not Christ the substance but the stone at which you stumble will break you to pieces and grind you to powder even Christ the Light of the World that lighteth every man that cometh into the World That the soul is a part or measure of God as they speak and not a part of man but uncreated And so is that light which is in every one Ans. The soul is immortal and God is immortal for God breathed into man the breath of life and he became a living soul as saith the Scripture and the soul is related to God for what a man works against God it is against his own soul for all sin is against God and against a mans own soul And God who hath all souls in his hand who is the Creator and gave life into the soul that is immortal and can never die Though death hath passed over it And hath reigned over all from Adam till Moses And Christ is the light of the world that gives life unto the soul And he raiseth up the soul out of death and misery and brings the soul to rejoyce in God its Saviour And Christ is the souls Bishop its Pastor and Feeder and who knowes Christ knowes him that was before the world was made and sees to the beginning and to the ending and his soul rests in God that is over all That the light in the heathens who never heard that Iesus Christ died at Ierusalem is the same for the quality of it with that which is in the most godly person onely there is a difference in the quantitie And men are reconciled to God by following of it This light they say is the sure word of prophesie and that it is sufficient to lead out of all sin unto God An. The Testimony of Iohn is that Christ is the light that lighteth every man that cometh into the world And if every man then the heathen who hath not the relation of Christs life and his death at Jerusalem yea and it is the same light that is in the heathen the same in nature and kind as it

others and to charge others with that wch she is guilty of her self but now it will not cover them to slander others that themselves may seem clear for the Lord is opening peoples hearts and giving them a spirit to discern all things And whereas the Author speaks against the Quakers for crying against Cuffs Caps and for using thee and thou and for crying against Pulpits and hour glasses and such things and for owning Revelation and for holding the free grace of God to be given unto all and because of trembling and quaking and saying our writtings are given out by the same infallible spirit that the Scriptures were given out by and for crying down the Ministers maintenance and for calling some of them vipers and Serpents To all this I answer it is your generation that makes a great noise about thee and thou and Cuffs and Caps for we in plainness and simplicity do speak the proper Language thee and thou to a single person and it is the proud and exalted minds of men that are offended hereat which pride and arogancie hath eaten out the sincerity and the very propriety of speech also and you are offended at us because of it and for crying against your Cuffs and Boot-hose-tops Ribbands and points we cry against all these things as not becoming the Ministers of Christ but as being of the world in the pride and vanity and superfluity abusing the Creation which the Lord will Judge among you And as for having an hour-glasse and Preaching thereby and as for your carnal Bells which you call people by we do disown these things and say they are old Popish inventions for the Ministers of Christ never limited their spirits to an hour-glasse neither had they a carnal Bell to call people to their worship and as for Revelation we do own that the Spirit of God doth reveal truth to us and God hath revealed Christ in us and none ever shall know God but by Revelation for none knowes the Father but the Son and he to whom the Son will reveal him And as for free grace we say the grace of God hath appeared to all men and it teacheth the Saints to deny ungodliness but the wicked turns it into wantonness and doth dispite unto the spirit of grace and we also say that who now speakes or are moved to write forth by the Spirit of God they speak and write by the same spirit that is infalliable that the Scriptures was given forth by And as for your maintenance it is altogether abominable and oppression to the Nation and the Lord is against it your taking peoples goods and casting them into prison that will not pay you wages and give you Tythes against their consciences And be not offended at being called vipers and Serpents for these are the works of venemous vipers and stinging Serpents which pesecute the servants of God and cryes to the Magistrates for help against a poor people that useth no weapons against you saving that of the Spirit of God and though we do thus to you to the false Ministers to cry against them and give our witness against them in the name of the Lord yet we do not deny the true Ministers of Christ nor speak any thing against them which are the true Ministers that hath received the ministry of righteousness by the gift of the holy spirit which all that are true Ministers doth receive their ministry thereby And whereas thou sayest we are bitter enemies to the Doctrine of Iustification and agrees with the Cavelierish party and would silence godly Ministers and are Iesuitical and such like things thou falsly chargeth upon us and that we have a notable faculty to delude ignorant unstable souls c. Ans. These are but the Authors reproaches and his slanders he hath filled his mouth with against the innocent And he hath set his tongue on the fire of hell to slander the Just and the innocent and all these things we bear in patience counting reproaches for Christ our chiefest riches and thus to the substance of this Paper I have given answer whereby all that love the Lord and desire to be informed in the truth may receive satisfaction for it is seen that that generation of Priests are joyned with the Prelatical Cavelierish party and this is known at large in the Nation in the North especially and so as I said they would fain slander others that themselves might seem clear but the Lord will rebuke him and his lying tongue and the innocent shall be delivered from his devouring lips and as for any other thing in his Paper it is not worth answering to nor worth minding but his wickednes will turn upon his own head and he shall bear the burthen of his own words only he queries whether this be not the pestilence that walks in darkness And the flouds that the Dragon hath cast out of his mouth to drown the woman is not this the mark of the beast who opened his mouth in blasphemy And are not these the unclean spirits that came out of the mouth of the Dragon and out of the mouth of the false prophet Ans. Now the pestilence that walkes in darkness is the plague that is out of the light sin and death and misery which smites the ungodly and he sees it not And the flood which the Dragon cast out is the flouds of persecution and cruelty viz the imprisoning until death and spoiling peoples goods for tythes and mony as the Priests have done And the Dragon gave power to the beast that compelled all to worship and that carried the Whore the false Church and the true Church hath been fled into the wilderness for many generations and the false Church the Whore hath sate as a Queen and given her cup to drink the false Church of Rome and the false Church of the Protestants all which are of the Whore these have all been carried by the beast which the Dragon gave his power to And they have all persecuted the woman the true Church and the mark of the beast he compelled people to receive and compelled them to worship and they opened their mouths in blasphemy that denies Christ and denies the light and that sayes they are Iewes and are not this is error and blasphemy which the Beast opens his mouth in against the Saints and against them that dwell in heaven and the unclean spirits are the spirits of Devils that are out of the truth and these the Dragon cast out in slanders and reproaches and lies such as this Author hath done and of that generation is he Christ said false prophets should come and Iohn saw in his dayes they were come and he saw the world gone after them and of that generation are you and now the Lord is gathering people from you again and Babylon must fall and all her merchants howl and weep And these things have been which the Scripture speaks of and the woman is now coming out of the wilderness
