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.

be which he signifies in these words the hour is COMMING not come and now is as he said before when he spake of rising from deadness in sin which had been true provided his meaning had been as the Quaker would have it for men were as really risen from sin then as now thirdly because some that rise out of the graves there spoken of are signified to rise fit for damnation but those that rise from sin are fit for salvation fourthly because othersome that rise or come forth out of the graves here spoken of are such as HAVE done good and so are subjects of life in reference to what they HAVE done before they rise from the grave which could not be so if it be meant the graves of sin for the wages of sin is death to this agrees the answer of Christ to the Sadduces question to wit whose wife of the seven she should be in the resurrection when they shall rise for saith Christ when they SHALL RISE from the dead c. signifying that should certainly rise again yea from that death which cannot possibly be understood a death in sin the nature of the question being considered also in the resurrection whereof Christ speaks they shall neither marry nor are given in marriage but are as the Angels of God Mar. 12.23 25. wherefore most plainly it appears that by these words Christ preached up the resurrection of the body for from the beginning persons risen from sin did marry and were given in marriage and after Christ spake these words it was accounted honourable by the Children of God and is now so to be to this agrees also the voice of the Prophet Isa 26.19 thy dead men shall live together with my dead body shall they arise and the earth shall cast out the dead and saith Daniel many that sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake yea from such a death as some awakes from it to shame and everlasting contempt Dan. 12.2 and in this truth was Job well satisfied insomuch that he wished his words were printed in a book and graven with an Iron Pen in the rock for ever saying in my flesh shall I see God whom I shall see for my self and mine eyes shall behold and not another though my reins be consumed within mee and after my skin worms destroy this body Job 19.23 24 25 26 27. Object Job saw God in his flesh saith Lawson with a spiritual eye before his returning to the dust Job 42.5 6. Answ Jobs testimony concerning his seeing God then is not to be slighted neither that of Abraham Isaac and Jacob who also and after the like manner talked with God and saw God yet they dyed in Faith NOT receiving the promises Heb. 11.13 the Prophet also bearing testimony saying though Abraham be IGNORANT of us and Israel acknowledge us not yet there is a time that shall come and will come spoken of by Christ Luk. 13.28 29. when Abraham Isaack and Jacob and al the Prophets with many that shall come from the East and from the West from the North and from the South and shall sit down in the Kingdome of God and to this agrees the words of Job speaking of his seeing God but the time when he intimates to be after his body was destroyed by worms and the consuming of his reins within him which had not been when he spake these words Job 42. read 1 Cor. 13.12 Moreover if it were true that these men were in the resurrection and so in the Kingdome as they say they are then should those that are thrust out in their account SEE Abraham and all the Prophets in the Kingdome with them in glory and themselves weeping and gnashing their teeth for so said Christ to the rebellious Jews Luk. 13.28 but this with many more things which shall appear in the resurrection now appears not yet will they say that they NOW are in the resurrection oh STRONG DELUSION The truth of this is yet further evident for saith Paul since by man came death by man came also the resurrection from the dead for as in Adam all dye even so in Christ shall all be made alive 1 Cor. 15.21.22 that is from that death occasioned by Adams sin which God tells us was a returning to the dust of that which was taken out of the dust or ground Gen. 3.19 which we know was the fleshly body of man which by reason of sin must dye but through Christ all shall be made alive again now wee know that all are not made alive from a spirituall death therefore the Apostle speaks not here of that but indeed of the fleshly bodies of men that are buried or sown into the earth even as the sown Corn which cannot hold comparison with any thing else of man which he testifies shall rise again saying that THIS corruptible must put on incorruption THIS mortall must put on immortality verse 53. marke not an immortal body of other matter but THIS which is now mortall now corruptible shall be made immortall incorruptible and so is made good the words of the Apostle Phil. 3.21 who shall change our VILE body that IT may be fashioned like unto his glorious body but the Quaker having another Spirit saies that it shall never come out of the grave but a lasse how greatly do they erre while they leave the Scriptures as not to be their rule wherein is clearly testified the conquest of the grave for saith the Lord Hos 13.14 O grave I will be thy destruction wherefore the Sea shall deliver up all that are in it Hell or grave shall deliver up all that are in it and death which feeds on many that were never buried in the earth or in the Sea shall also bee delivered up and so all shall come to judgement Rev. 20.13 this is certain for repentance is hid from mine eyes saith the Lord Hos 13.14 but according to the Quakers opinion the grave is the conquerer having got the bodyes of men in it and so holds them fast for ever saith Lawson that is originally the Devil but Christ in the Apostles account oh let him be also in our account even him who through death hath destroyed him that hath the power of death that is the Devil who will in his time ransome all from the power of the grave O remember Hymeneus and Philetus who are men branded with error for saying the resurrection was past already 2 Tim. 2.18 Object The Quaker saith this cannot be so because Paul saith flesh and blood connot inherit the Kingdom of God and thou sowest not that body that shall be but God giveth it a body as it hath pleased him Answ True it is that flesh and blood as now it is corruptible cannot inherit wherefore the Apostle afterwards saith that it must put on incorruption then shall it inherit the incorruptible inheritance and so is made good the comparison thou sowest not that body that shall be for we sow that is commit
Scriptures which before the strong delusion seised upon them would have shewen them that the Lord cometh with not in but WITH ten thousand of his Saints to excute judgement Jud. 14.15 this Paul and Timotheus looked for yet men of high degrees of Christianity saying We must all appear before the Judgement Seat of Christ but saith the Quaker we HAVE appeared another Doctrin O Friends wherefore another spirit but unto us that look for the Lord Jesus from Heaven who shall judge the quick and dead at his appearing and his Kingdom 2 Tim. 4.1 unto us I say a little may suffice for the manifestation of this errour The Quaker also beleeves that sin is NOT the cause of mans body returning to the dust as Tho. Lawson Tho. Laucock affirmed Strange yea very strange is this saying considered nakedly by it self but considering that it comes from a spirit that denies the Resurrection of the Body it is not so strange yet nevertheless the errour thereof is not thereby lessened Errour I say for when Adam by eating had sinned God said unto him BECAUSE thou hast eaten of the tree of which I commanded thee saying thou shalt not eat of it cursed is the ground for thy sake in the sweat of thy face shalt thou eate bread till thou return unto the ground for dust thou art and unto dust shalt thou return and to this agrees the words of the Apostle Rom. 5.12 As by one man sin entred into the Word and death BY SIN and so Death passed upon all not such a Spiritual death as the Quaker would have because in Christ all shall be made alive from it 1 Cor. 15.21 22. hee having through his appearance in the likeness of sinful flesh condemned sin in the flesh which is the sting of that death which brings into the Grave the bodies of men vers 55 56. thus by sin comes the death of the body and not only so for those many Curses as eating our bread in sorrow in the sweat of our faces women bringing forth Children in sorrow even these attends the bodies of men and women by reason of sin even BECAUSE thou hast eaten saith God shewing that God at first in his threat upon the transgression of his Law intended punishment upon the body that which did eat and in eating sinned dyed and so DEATH BY SIN saith the Apostle The Quaker also slights and denies Baptism in Water calling it a low Carnal thing This is signified by Naylor in his Book called A Salutation to the Seed of God Pag. 33 34. pleading that it may be now taken away by them they seeing it to be abused without any Scripture warrant they having as they say that Spirit within them which gave it forth This also they will say proceeds from the Light but not so indeed for Christ the true Light was not ashamed thereof but was obedient even to Baptism in water Matth. 3.16 also said that whosoever is ashamed of him and his words of him hee also will be ashamed when he cometh in the glory of his Father wherefore look to yourselves that yee be not beguiled of your faith in this so plain a Commandement and for your stedfastness therein I do here represent unto you Three considerations as reminding you of the ground for Baptism in Water First remember that John testifies that he was sent from the Lord to Baptise with Water Joh. 1.33 and in preaching Repentance and Baptism for the remission of sins he is said to be a preparer of the way of the LORD Mar. 1.2.3.4 in which Ministration he was very famous so that all the people went out unto him to be baptized but when Christ went forth preaching the Gospel of the Kingdome then the fame of John decreased and all went out unto him as most famous John 3.26 at the hearing of which John in all humility said hee must increase but I must decrease verse 30. Secondly Remember also that the Lord Jesus in plain words gave it forth by commandement saying to his Disciples Matth. 28.19 go ye therefore and teach all Nations baptizing them in the name of the Father c. that is baptizing them in water as undenyable appears in that the DISCIPLES were to administer it marke that they could not they did not baptize with the Spirit but saith John speaking of Christ he that commeth after mee whose shoes I am not worthy to bear HE shall baptize you with the holy Spirit Mat. 3.11 which saith Peter GOD hath given to them that obey him Act. 5.32 the glory of this ministration the Lord hath reserved unto himself and hath no where given it to man Thirdly Remember also that as baptisme in water in Johns time was with other things a preparation of the way of the Lord and afterwards established by the speciall command of the Lord himself so also after his ascension was it confirmed by an Angel from the Lord who well knowing his message bid Cornelius send for Peter and he saith the Angel shall tell thee what thou oughtest he saith not what he might do as an indifferent thing but what thou OUGHTEST to do Act. 10.5 6. who then he was come and had seen the goodnesse of God said who can forbid WATER that these should not be baptized which have received the holy Ghost as well as we making their receiving the holy Spirit a great argument why they should be baptized with water yet will men use the same argument why they need not be baptized with water alass alass what will the poor soules answer when God riseth up Job 31.14 these even the Spirit-baptized people Peter commands to be baptized verse 47 48. wherefore whatever men say this being submitted unto from an inward principle of love to him that first loved us is not a carnal thing but to be held fast remember that Jesus is the same yesterday to day and for ever Object Paul said that Christ sent him not to baptize but to preach the Gospel Answ Christ also said labour NOT for the meat that perissieth but for that meat which endureth unto everlasting life Joh. 6.27 what did he hereby make void moderate working surely nay for Paul having his Spirit said if any would not work neither should he eat but rather that men should not make it their SPECIALL labour as the Jews did verse 26. after the things for the present bodily subsistance so Pauls ESPECIALL work was not to baptize that is personally to administer baptisme but to preach the Gospel to which belongs baptisme unlesse we should beleeve that he preached one Doctrin and Peter another but that is incredible but credible it is that they did not alwaies personally administer it and so it was that Paul had baptized but few of the Corinthians for which he gave God thanks not from a low esteem thereto but because they thereby had no show to say that he baptized in his own name as they were apt to say 1 Cor. 1.12 14 15.
