A88837	The lip of truth opened, against a dawber with untempered morter. A few words against a book, written by Magnus Bine priest, in the county of Sussex, which he calls, The scornful quakers answered, &c. But he himself is found the scorner, and the lyer, charging me with things I never spoke, nor never entered into my heart to speak. / Tho. Lawson.

conscious of errors and sins I confess there was a time when Paul said I know that in my flesh dwels no good thing Rom. 7 18. but then he was a wretched man this was in his warfare but there was a time when flesh was crucified with the affections and lusts Gal 5 24. and he was crucified with Christ and Christ lived in him Gal 2 20. he was no wretched man then when the law rose up in him sin and flesh appeared and was strong and led him captive and he was a wretched man condemned by the righteous law written in the heart which shewed him sin and made him cry out who shall deliver Rom 7. now there was a time when he said he hath delivered Col 1.13 then no more who shall who shall but he hath he hath if thou had been of God thou would have seen thorough his several conditions he passed thorough he became dead to the Law Gal 2 19 so to sin for while man sins the Law is added and though there was a time when he cried out of sin and death Rom 7. yet there was a time when sin and death he was freed from Rom 8.2 and he was more than a conquer or and death was abolished 2 Tim 1 10 even that death which before he complained of then who shall lay any thing to the charge of Gods elect death being abolished it is God that justifieth who is he that condemneth Rom. 8.33 34. now thou art charging such with errors and sins and Job was a just and a perfect man and he abhorred self and covetous practises which thou lives in Job 1 1. Job 42.5 6. and David overcome with a temptation he cried for a new heart a clean heart Psal 51.10 he found no peace till a clean heart was restored to him and did not plead for the old heart nor the works thereof as thou dost Again thou sayes Pauls trembling brought such a peircing sight with it that ever afterwards he saw a body of corruption a fleshly part in him sighting and carrying him forth many times to the law of sin Page 69. I answer That of God in all consciences shall witness against thee as it rises that all thy pleading is for deceit sometime for mastership which Christ forbad for tyth which he put an end unto sometime for unnecessary clothing and much for sin and Sow-like thou would have filth and mire to wallow in and thy speech of Pauls is a lie who saith ever after his trembling he saw a body of corruption c. his words is a witness against thee so would make people believe he sowed to the flesh for such reap corruption but he sowed to the spirit and reaped life Gal. 2.10 Christ the life lived in him and Paul witnessed a freeing from death and corruption and death was abolished Ro. 8.2 2 Tim. 1 10. and flesh was crucified and in that thou saies still fighting that 's a lie he came to be more than a Conquerour Rom. 8 in Christ who abolished death thus with evil thoughts thou art judging the Apostle and looking upon him to be as one of thy Saints as thou calls them who live in rage violence and imaginations which are heathen Thou saies Away with fleshly bodily litteral Trembling and quivering terming it to be Belshazzars trembling or a fit of Mahomet when the falling evil fell upon him c. page 70. Or like a man possessed with the Devil I answer Oh that ever people should be so bewitched as to follow thee and such like who gets thy living with trading with the words of the holy men of God which were spoken forth freely and blasphemes and reviles that which they witnessed what if thou had seen David roaring his flesh trembling Psal 119.120 or Ieremiah all his bones shaking he like a drunken man Ier. 23.9 and Iob trembling all his bones shaking Iob 4 14. Habbakkuk trembling and his lips quivering Hab. 3.17 What if thou had seen these would thou have told them or the Nations to make them odious in the eyes thereof that their trembling was like a fit of Mahomet when the falling evil fell upon him or that they were like men possessed with Devils I know thou art seared and past feeling you that are his hearers take heed how you hold up such a one who as a bruit beast speaks evil of the thing he knows not and when thou hast filled up the measure of thine iniquity the Lord will cut the off who speaks evill of his power and them that are witnesses of it Thou bids me prove that the Priests were to maintain the Fatherless Widdows and Strangers page 73. I answer Thou may read that out of the Tyth such were to be maintained Deut. 14.28 29. and that by Commandment from the Lord they had as much property to their share in Tyth as the Levite and your selfishness herein appears in crying up your own property in and to Tyth but as for the fatherless widdow and strangers their property to Tyth I never heard Priest plead for and their property was as absolute to Tyth as the Levites as the Scripture declares so that if from the Commandment under the Law you could prove Tyth your property then were it also the property of the fatherless widdow and strangers then may it be truly said of you there is not a Tything Priest in England that pleads the cause of the fatherless widdow and strangers The first Priesthood took Tyth by a Law Heb. 7. and by a Commandment but the Law is changed and the Commandement dissanulled by Christ Jesus and that he confirmed it by a Law to his Ministry he sent forth this remains for you to prove but thou bids me prove that the Priests was to maintain the fatherless c. thou sot was not Israel a Kingdom of Priests as Gods Covenant they kept Exod. 19.6 and Shelemiah the Priest and others distributed to the brethren Nehe. 13.13 the Scripture mentions a teaching Priest and the several Tythings according to the Scriptures in their places I own Thou saies I that deny Tyth to be the Ministers due am a Robber of God Prov. 3.9 Mall 3.8 I answer thou runs far to plead for the wages of unrighteousness in the time of the Law Tyth was an Ordinance so who denied to pay it robbed God but Christ is come and hath put an end to the Law Priesthood Commandment and the hand-writing of Ordinances he blotted out Heb. 7.12 18. Col. 2.14 and the Ordinance for the Priesthood and for the Tyth was in the hand-writing written with the hand he blotted out and that he ordained Tyth again to the twelve seventy or Apostles this prove else it s not your due but thou tells me I am guilty of Ananias his sin in speaking against your Tyth I answer Ananias his not giving Tyth to the hireling Priest was not his sin nor his not giving Tyth to the Apostles but his lying Acts 5.1 2 3 4 5. for said

and imaginations but thy thoughts and thy fancy as thou calls it and thy imaginations and thy lies and thy slanders thy covetous practises all come out of one seat even the earth which is rejected of God and of all that know God and keep in this crosse but thy practises by Scripture prove where did ever Christ give Davids experiences to the world to sing in Meeter where did the Apostles give Davids conditions to the world to sing in Meeter who were to teach people to observe all that Christ commanded them where did any of the gathered Churches use Meeter singing but thy flock would have it and thou arts a man-pleaser for thy two parish Tyth sake and Sternhold and Hopkins their invention of Meeter singing is become a dainty dish for Dives and with the same mind that you will lye cozen covet jeer and scorn with the same mind you will offer up Sternhold and Hopkins invention to the living God and this is part of your will worship and worse and worse thou grows for against this invention thou hast witnessed but for thy Idols sake thou wilt give Dives all his dainties thy blind hearers their customs and that 's the way to make thy covenant strong with them but it is but with death and hell and wo is the end of it but the singing with the Spirit we own the singing of the Ransomed we own but in the Pit and Grave you are and thou makes them erre Thou saies There 's the Appetite and that 's the seat of desires lustings and longings after things whether good or evil page 108. I answer Thou art again in the Ranters line and would perswade people that all desires lustings and longings after things whether good or evil comes out of one seat Oh that ever England who hath been so crowned with the Mercies of the Lord should be led with such enchanters as thee Surely surely as they come out of the pit which you and they are faln into they cannot but cry out We have trusted in lying Prophets and we have given our mony for that which is not bread thou art in the flesh where thy lustings and longings after evil is and that is thy seat but Christ is the light of the world who lighteth every one that cometh into the world Joh. 1.9 and this light who owns desires are begot after the good and to escape the evil without me you can do nothing saith Christ and this I leave with thee to prove that all desires lustings and longings after things whether good or evil come out of one seat and that is Appetite Again thou makes a long Rabble and tells of the reason will the seat of doing good or evil fancy the seat of thoughts and imaginations and of the appetite the seat of lusting and longing after things whether good or evil c and when the Lord comes thou saies all these are healed and made well and they are all brought into the life of God page 108. I answer O friends consider these his sayings and blasphemous speeches who is telling of healing the will the fancy the thoughts and imagination the appetite the lusting and longing after good or evil and of bringing them into the life of God when as no unclean thing can dwell with him surely he imagins God to have a heart like his own else he would never publish it of bringing the very spring of evil thoughts and imaginations lustings after evil all into the life of God Surely you that are his Hearers except you be seared and past feeling as he is you cannot read these wicked blasphemous speeches but tremble and be ashamed and know this that if you receive these things for truth you are given up to believe lyes and that is a woful judgement Thou bids me take thy thoughts of heaven and hell and use them at my pleasure page 109. I answer thy thoughts are altogether vain and thy words blasphemous so therewith heaven thou must not enter and the lake the deceiver must go into and the deceived who set up thy thoughts but them I deny and thee also Thou saies Among the Saints there is a great variety of opinions and judgments concerning the binding and loosing of Satan page 111. I answer This is a lie the Saints in light grow up in the life where Sects Schisms Heresies and divers Opinions be not here the one heart mind and soul is known here the Angel the great Chain is known and the binding of Satan is rightly known but thou and them thou cals Saints live in rage imaginations and violence so are Heathen so one cries up one thing and another the contrary and the many Opinions among you is found and such vain talkers as thou and thy raging imagining Saints as thou cals them are wrangling about the binding of Satan without you how it shall be and when it shall be in the mean time he is loose within you some rage violence imaginations blasphemous speeches covetous practises variety of opinions but we know the Kingdom which is not divided where rage violence diversity of opinions and covetous persons come not so we witness against you and your Kingdom which is divided where the many Sects Opinions Heresies and Blasphemies are hatched and brought forth Thou sayes The Saints live upon God in the Scriptures Page 117. I answer This is another lie and all that know where the Tabernacle of God is they will bring in their testimony against thee who sayes God is in the Scriptures this is all thou knows of him or where he is the Scriptures say God is in his Son in his Saints in his Throne in his Temple in his holy Hill in Immortality but it saith not that he is in the Scriptures neither that the Scriptures is his Son Saints Throne Temple holy Hill nor Immortality so prove what thou hast said and what the Saints seed on no covetous selfish earthly mind doth know such feed on swines flesh Cockatrice eggs this is thy feeding so read the Scriptures and tell me what Scripture hath God in it so by thy words he that hath the Scriptures hath God he that can buy a Bible as it is called may buy God also for God is in the Scriptures thou sayes Again thou sayes Plain light is written in the Scriptures Page 118. I answer This is another lie the light is but one Christ Emanuel God with us who said all mine are thine and thine a●e mine and I am glorified in them John 17.10 in them saith Christ the light but that light is in the Scriptures this thou art to prove but the many lies thou vomits up out of the bottomless pit makes it manifest the Devil is raised in thee according to thy own words who told Humphrey Killingbank that I had abused thee in writing to thee so I had raised the Devil in thee it appears he is high risen in thee who is a lyar from the beginning so art publishing
