A56001	False fictions and romances rebuked in answer to pretended matter charged against the Quaker, in a book, intituled, The progress of sin, &c. written by B. K. His lies and slanders therein returned back upon him, and the speakers of yea and nay in truth vindicated. By James Park.	Parke, James, 1636-1696.	1684 (1684)	Wing P367; ESTC R216931	10,814	17

Iniquity and guilty of Imposture Heresie and Errour But he must make another Statute Book then the New or Old Testament for this Court of his Erecting to Proceed upon before he can make good his Charge against the Quaker for the Old and New Testament sufficiently witnesseth for the Quaker against this unjust Accuser and his Whimsies B. K. I Charge thee in the Truth of God which is over all thy deceit to bring forth thy High-Constable mentioned by thee to prove the Quaker such a Criminal as thou hast rendered him page 245. that his Name is Imposture alias Erroneous and what Heresie thou took the Quaker Prisoner in Or that he endeavoured to hide under the Cloak of Light Life and Power Though that is a better Covering to hide under then Darkness Death and its Power Will not Woe from God come upon thee and all People that cover themselves with a nother Covering then that of God's Holy Spirit which is one with the Light Life and Power of God forever Divide or seperate them if thou canst what is thy Cloak thou hast over thee that is contrary to the Light Life and Power of God surely it is but Darkness and Death or Figg-leaves that hide not thy Nakedness from them that are in this Light Life and Power of the Lord such see sufficiently the shame of thy Nakedness although People not come thereunto may look upon thee as well gifted and thy Confused Work of Eminent Worth Thou Forger of Lies and Enemy of the Truth and Righteousness what Quaker was it that yet ever denyed the Scripture Authority Or said to it Art thou the Iudge of Sin and Errour away with thee shew where this was said and the time when or else thou gives the Quaker ground to proclaim thee a very great and grand Son to the Father of Lies and to cry Away with this Son of Pordition and the Quaker may well believe thou art not the Just Man that sinneth not who hast proved so unjust to him and that if ever thou had any goodness like the early dew it is passing away and that thou art so drunk with and needlesly cumbers thy Mind about many things to no purpose in thy late troublesome Work is very apparent to him that hath an eye to see with thou one day wilt be made to know besure that that thou hast written against the Quaker is black false and offensive enough making him in thy sensual Mind to call Sacred Scripture A Dumb Idol whereas the living God knoweth that the Quaker never had such a thought much less spoke it at any time And thou hast not at all proved thy Charge against the Quakers in the margin of thy aforementioned page that they deny The Sacred Scripture to be the judge of Sin and Controversie about Religion and Worship but I doubt that thou dost busie thy self so in Controversy about Religion and Worship of God that thou wilt scarce in all thy Travels come to that Pure Religion that is undefiled before God or his Worship in Spirit and Truth So till thou have fairly and fully proved the Crimes against the Quaker which thou hast published as his Sin enough will lye at thy door where I leave it till thou find a place for Repentance and then thou wilt find thy Travails to be those of Ungodliness at least so far as they relate to the Quaker even a travelling with Iniquity and the bringing forth Falshood with the poyson of Asps under thy Tongue for the great Mystery of Godliness in thy Imaginary Travails canst thou never find out nor give a right Description of but art a great Stranger thereunto and as if the Profession of Godliness were a sufficient Cloak for thee If thou hast any thing of the Form of Godliness yet the power thereof thou seems very ignorant of so that the Quaker hath still reason sufficient to turn away from thee and all such Formalists and deceitful Works of Iniquity Written in the Fear and Dread of the Lord God for the honour of his Name and to clear his Truth and People that walk in it from the reproach and scandal this Opposer hath endeavoured to cast upon the same with his Fictions and Romances by a true lover of Godliness in Life and Power highly esteeming the Divine Authority of the Holy Scriptures Something further partly by way of Query WHat Quaker was that which in page 248. is said to say I am sure I should have known as much of Christ as now I do if I had never heard of the Scriptures And what Quaker was it that 't is said in that page was quite silent upon thy doating unnecessary Question pretended to be put to him to wit What things Jesus did that were not written and answer it thy self if thou canst And what marvel is it that many of thy Evil-devised Court were ready to smile and cryed out How are these People Deluded Who and how many in thy Court were they that were ready to smile and cryed out How are these People Deluded before the things charged against them were at all proved Art thou not ashamed to pretend that thou hast confuted the Quaker whilest 't is nothing but that which thou in thy Evil Heart hast Imagined and forged against him that thou smitest at That there is wholsom and sound Judgment against Sin and Evil throughout the Scriptures was always plainly owned by the Quaker yet we know not where it calls it self Sr. Sacred Scripture or that thou hast plainly proved it to be the only Judge of Sin and Rule of Faith and Practice Might'st thou not as well have placed this Authority properly more immediately upon Christ Jesus as he is the Word of God who was in the Beginning with God and before the World was and the Scriptures were written But ought the Light of Christ Jesus and Revelation of God so to be slighted and rejected by thee as to be no rule of Faith and Practice or that it may not be concerned in Judging Sin And may it not be affirmed a certain and undeniable means to discover Deceivers and Impostors where ever they are or whatsoever they may pretend to and no other Light or Revelation doth the Quaker exhort People to come to or believe in but the Light of Christ and Revelation from God of his Son Christ Jesus by which none are left to an uncertainty as thou blindly imaginest What Quaker was it that asked for Mediums and that to make out what we say and affirm produce him if thou can or that said to thee Thou looked for a sign though probably he had not been mistaken if he had told thee so Hast thou convinced the Pagan thou speakest of that what thou sayest is true the Quaker cannot believe Fictions bring thy Pagan forth that the Quaker may discourse him upon this subject Is the agreement betwixt the Papist and Quaker that thou storms at any thing but what thou hast made the Quaker to be that he never was and to say what he never said to say What is Sr. Sacred Scripture but a Lifeless Fellow a pittiful Paper-Judge a Dead Letter which words the Quaker denys utterly putting thee upon the prooff thereof Also when any Jesuit said to any Quaker thereupon Well said Brother or A Nose of Wax certainly That which was before time I do believe will in due time make fully manifest whether the Papist and Quaker or Papist and the Anabaptists do most agree and whether this Anabaptist-Teacher may not prove too much like a Nose of Wax when his Faith and Practice comes to be further tryed How dares thou say in the Margin of thy Book page 247. That there came in pretending to thy Court an Out-Landish Man of a tauney Complexion that called the Scriptures of Truth thy pretended Judge Lord and said He was a Pagan Born an Indian dwelling in the furthest parts of America that manifested any Contradiction to the Quaker about the Light of Christ within or its sufficiency as the Quakers do really affirm and bear Testimony of it But how then can any of you Baptist-Teachers any more render us as Pagans to the World seeing the Pagan and you so well agree But how came the uncertain sound of thy Trumpet to be heard as far as America How many Indians or Pagans hast thou by thy pretended Judge convinced of the Evil of their ways and doings without the Light of Christ Jesus which thou so hates and endeavours to exclude from being any Judge of Sin Being as thou darkly sayest wholly Ignorant or know nothing of one great Statute-Book wherein many positive good Laws are written which the Prisoner at the Barr hath abominably violated page 247. I think of so little as thou hast writ against the Quaker never more Mallice Deceit and Falshood appeared Can there be any Statute-Book or Good Lawes in it and the light of Christ within people be wholly Ignorant or know nothing of one great Statute Book c I would thou saw thy own Confusion and Ignorance of the Light of Christ and the way thereof How can the Light of the glorious Gospel that shines in Peoples Hearts be ignorant or know nothing of the glorious Gospel of Jesus Christ or any Precept or Ordinance thereof which the Prisoner as thou calls him at thy pretended Bar hath Abominably violated without any prooff against thy supposed Prisoner at thy Imagined Bar And prove what are those good Laws as thou calls them he hath so violated as for the Good Lawes of the Old and New Testament the Quaker hath not violated but is a doer thereof which is more justifiable in the eye of the great Law giver then to profess and talk of the Lawes of God and be a daily breaker and not doer of the same J.
