A77227 The Quakers quaking principles examined and refuted in a briefe answer to some erroneous tenets held forth by James Naylor in his answers unto Mr Baxter, and some others that have publikely opposed that blacke spirit in the deluded Quakers. Wherein is also included a serious admonition, how wee ought to behave our selves towards the ministers of the gospell, in respect of communicating unto them; and for giving to the poore, so as the Gospell requires: and to beware of covetousnesse, and the effects thereof, least wee be left of God, and delivered up unto strong delusions, and a blasphemous spirit instead of the spirit of God. The heads of the whole discourse are also premised. / Written by Ellis Bradshavve. Bradshaw, Ellis. 1656 (1656) Wing B4147; Thomason E869_1; ESTC R207737 57,239 71

be_v herein_o name_v 8._o that_o the_o quaker_n be_v clear_o under_o a_o degree_n of_o blasphemy_n and_o in_o what_o particulars_n evidenly_a demonstrate_v 9_o that_o they_o be_v act_v and_o move_v by_o a_o evil_a and_o malicious_a spirit_n which_o be_v not_o of_o god_n prove_v from_o scripture_n 10._o that_o they_o shall_v bring_v upon_o themselves_o swift_a destruction_n unless_o they_o humble_v themselves_o great_o in_o the_o sight_n of_o god_n and_o repent_v and_o turn_v 11._o that_o naylor_n for_o all_o his_o profession_n of_o perfection_n and_o infallibility_n and_o know_v of_o all_o thing_n yet_o he_o teach_v we_o nothing_o except_o lie_n but_o what_o we_o know_v before_o the_o which_o be_v clear_o illustrate_v 12._o that_o james_n naylor_n and_o his_o complice_n be_v send_v with_o strong_a delusion_n and_o for_o what_o end_n and_o cause_n clear_v from_o scripture_n 13._o that_o satan_n have_v commission_n to_o be_v a_o lie_a spirit_n in_o their_o mouth_n 14._o that_o they_o shuffle_v up_o their_o lie_n close_o among_o many_o know_a truth_n to_o make_v they_o feasible_a 15._o that_o if_o the_o ranter_n doctrine_n have_v be_v feasible_a the_o devil_n will_v never_o have_v transform_v his_o minister_n so_o like_a to_o the_o minister_n of_o righteousness_n though_o his_o design_n be_v the_o same_o in_o the_o quaker_n as_o in_o the_o ranter_n in_o some_o chief_a respect_n 16._o some_o query_n propose_v to_o naylor_n require_v scripture-ground_n for_o what_o he_o assert_v which_o he_o never_o yet_o give_v nor_o can_v i_o suppose_v 17._o that_o christ_n who_o be_v the_o true_a light_n and_o inlightn_v every_o one_o that_o come_v into_o the_o world_n yet_o do_v not_o inlighten_v they_o all_o sufficient_o by_o immediate_a lumination_n no_o not_o all_o the_o elect_a themselves_o so_o as_o to_o bring_v they_o to_o salvation_n but_o do_v it_o mediate_o by_o the_o scripture_n and_o teach_n of_o man_n to_o bring_v they_o to_o the_o knowledge_n of_o god_n and_o of_o christ_n for_o the_o save_n of_o their_o soul_n 18._o that_o it_o be_v the_o same_o design_n of_o satan_n in_o the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o quaker_n which_o he_o have_v in_o the_o popish_a hierarchy_n when_o they_o inhibit_v the_o scripture_n to_o be_v read_v or_o know_v in_o their_o own_o mother-tongue_n to_o the_o laiety_n to_o wit_n to_o keep_v they_o in_o ignorance_n one_o of_o the_o chief_a policy_n that_o satan_n have_v to_o perpetuate_v his_o kingdom_n in_o the_o dark_a world_n 19_o that_o james_n naylors_n directory_n be_v quite_o contradictory_n to_o the_o directory_n of_o scripture_n and_o be_v as_o much_o to_o some_o man_n as_o if_o he_o shall_v express_o bid_v they_o to_o eye_n and_o observe_v and_o obey_v satan_n instead_o of_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n 20._o that_o yet_o they_o have_v not_o commission_n to_o deceive_v the_o elect_a total_o and_o final_o but_o such_o as_o receive_v not_o the_o truth_n in_o love_n 21._o that_o in_o the_o judgement_n of_o charity_n we_o may_v well_o believe_v at_o least_o that_o all_o those_o people_n be_v not_o obstinate_o thus_o lead_v but_o satan_n deceive_v they_o and_o make_v they_o believe_v that_o it_o be_v no_o other_o but_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n that_o act_v and_o teach_v they_o when_o notwithstanding_o it_o be_v but_o himself_o and_o how_o he_o deceive_v they_o be_v show_v at_o large_a 22._o a_o objection_n be_v answer_v to_o wit_n how_o they_o come_v to_o be_v so_o spirit_v and_o act_v and_o change_v from_o what_o they_o be_v before_o if_o it_o be_v not_o indeed_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n in_o answer_v whereunto_o be_v show_v by_o what_o step_n and_o degree_n they_o attain_v these_o thing_n 23._o a_o serious_a admonition_n to_o beware_v of_o the_o least_o of_o those_o step_n whereby_o they_o come_v to_o be_v delive_v up_o of_o god_n to_o such_o strong_a delusion_n and_o to_o be_v spirit_v and_o act_v by_o that_o lie_a spirit_n instead_o of_o the_o spirit_n of_o truth_n which_o step_n be_v chief_o these_o 1._o satan_n by_o his_o minister_n work_v they_o up_o to_o a_o dislike_n of_o the_o minister_n of_o god_n and_o of_o the_o christian_a professor_n 2._o of_o all_o the_o ordinance_n of_o god_n 3._o of_o the_o scripture_n themselves_o as_o all_o but_o carnal_a and_o a_o dead_a letter_n and_o vain_a unto_o they_o 4._o to_o reproach_n and_o despise_v they_o which_o be_v express_a blasphemy_n and_o then_o he_o have_v power_n to_o spirit_n they_o and_o act_v they_o at_o pleasure_n 24._o here_o be_v also_o add_v a_o parallel_n listen_v of_o some_o of_o the_o manifest_a contradiction_n betwixt_o the_o teach_n of_o that_o spirit_n in_o the_o quaker_n and_o the_o express_a teach_n of_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n a_o brief_a answer_n to_o some_o erroneous_a tenant_n hold_v forth_o by_o james_n naylor_n in_o his_o answer_n unto_o baxter_n and_o some_o other_o that_o have_v public_o oppose_v that_o black_a spirit_n in_o the_o delude_a quaker_n to_o wit_n he_o allege_v that_o scripture_n rom_n 10.8_o the_o word_n be_v nigh_o thou_o in_o thy_o heart_n and_o in_o thy_o mouth_n and_o further_o he_o say_v that_o this_o word_n of_o faith_n the_o apostle_n preach_v which_o be_v in_o people_n heart_n all_o which_o in_o some_o sense_n be_v true_a and_o he_o say_v further_a that_o such_o be_v not_o minister_n of_o the_o letter_n but_o of_o the_o spirit_n the_o which_o in_o some_o sense_n must_v needs_o also_o be_v true_a for_o it_o be_v in_o the_o scripture_n but_o he_o say_v further_a nor_o do_v ever_o say_v the_o letter_n be_v the_o word_n the_o which_o i_o utter_o deny_v if_o he_o mean_v by_o the_o letter_n any_o part_n of_o scripture_n the_o which_o i_o shall_v make_v appear_v by_o the_o help_n of_o god_n from_o many_o scripture_n ground_n which_o he_o ow_v in_o his_o answer_n unto_o baxter_n as_o truth_n of_o god_n i_o mean_v the_o scripture_n but_o first_o i_o must_v clear_v the_o meaning_n of_o those_o word_n of_o the_o apostle_n to_o wit_n not_o of_o the_o letter_n but_o of_o the_o spirit_n for_o the_o letter_n kill_v but_o the_o spirit_n give_v life_n 2_o cor_fw-la 3.6_o now_o it_o be_v plain_a what_o rhe_n spirit_n of_o god_n intend_v by_o it_o if_o we_o read_v the_o verse_n follow_v to_o wit_n 7_o 8_o 9_o where_o the_o apostle_n make_v a_o comparison_n betwixt_o the_o glory_n of_o the_o law_n and_o that_o of_o the_o gospel_n the_o ministration_n of_o moses_n and_o that_o of_o christ_n and_o therein_o make_v the_o law_n as_o a_o ministration_n of_o condemnation_n and_o of_o death_n but_o the_o ministration_n of_o the_o gospel_n the_o ministration_n of_o the_o spirit_n and_o of_o righteousness_n which_o be_v through_o jesus_n christ_n and_o so_o of_o life_n so_o that_o his_o meaning_n be_v clear_a to_o any_o that_o will_v understand_v that_o he_o do_v not_o mean_a as_o though_o the_o apostle_n do_v not_o preach_v and_o ground_v their_o doctrine_n from_o sacred_a scripture_n but_o that_o by_o preach_v of_o faith_n from_o scripture_n ground_n they_o minister_v life_n to_o those_o that_o be_v spiritual_o slay_v by_o the_o letter_n of_o the_o law_n for_o in_o regard_n that_o no_o flesh_n can_v be_v justify_v in_o the_o sight_n of_o god_n by_o keep_v of_o the_o law_n in_o regard_n they_o can_v fulfil_v it_o in_o every_o point_n and_o therefore_o lie_v under_o death_n and_o condemnation_n spiritual_o i_o mean_v be_v condemn_v by_o it_o in_o their_o soul_n and_o conscience_n and_o as_o it_o be_v bind_v over_o unto_o death_n and_o hell_n without_o hope_n of_o recovery_n and_o that_o unto_o all_o eternity_n in_o their_o own_o apprehension_n in_o the_o fight_n of_o god_n have_v transgress_v the_o law_n they_o so_o remain_v as_o it_o be_v without_o hope_n and_o without_o god_n in_o the_o world_n till_o it_o please_v god_n to_o revive_v and_o quicken_v they_o to_o a_o lively_a hope_n and_o confidence_n in_o god_n by_o the_o ministration_n of_o the_o spirit_n of_o life_n which_o be_v not_o minister_v by_o preach_v the_o work_n of_o the_o law_n but_o by_o the_o hear_n of_o faith_n preach_v see_v gal_n 3.2_o so_o that_o it_o be_v clear_v what_o the_o apostle_n mean_v and_o intend_v to_o teach_v we_o when_o he_o declare_v that_o they_o be_v able_a minister_n not_o of_o the_o letter_n but_o of_o the_o spirit_n and_o that_o spirit_n within_o if_o it_o be_v of_o god_n do_v so_o apprehend_v it_o and_o will_v own_v it_o as_o a_o truth_n of_o god_n and_o therefore_o james_n naylor_n be_v either_o much_o mistake_v and_o so_o be_v but_o fallible_o guide_v or_o else_o obstinate_o wicked_a in_o draw_v such_o inference_n from_o this_o scripture_n as_o to_o account_v they_o no_o minister_n of_o god_n that_o be_v minister_n of_o the_o letter_n and_o ground_n their_o doctrine_n thereon_o for_o the_o spirit_n be_v
