for then down goes your Infallibility and great will be the fall thereof Justifie them you cannot for if you tell them these sayings came from Heaven they 'll tell you they came from Hell so that here is a Gulf between you and them You may fret and fume rage and rail invert pervert gloss and paint but all to no purpose I have hem'd you up and cast a Trench about you and taken you as in a Net and resolve to hold you fast for I will not leave the decision of our Controversie to Quakers Ranters Muggletonians nor to your Grandsire the Pope Come G. W. I have not done with you yet you say The Quak. Vind. p. 2. As for Baptism and the Lord's Supper Scripturally considered we confess and own c. But may some say how is this possible who have not baptized any with Water nor received the Sacrament under the Elements of Bread and Wine these 40 years Answ Let me Interpret their meaning which I take to be thus They own them Scripturally that is as they own the Scriptures they own the Sacraments also upon the same Hypothesis they may say they own the Scriptures Sacramentally viz. as they own the Sacraments of Baptism and the Lord's Supper when alas they own neither no otherwise than Arius owned the Faith of one Substance who when at the demand of the Emperour he signed the Nicene Creed who before-hand wrote his own Opinion in a piece of Paper and put it in his Bosom under his Coat and coming to the Book he takes his Oath that he verily believed as he had written meaning as he had written in the Paper under his Coat In like manner the Quakers confess and own the Sacrament of the Lord's Supper Scripturally that is as they have written in their own Books And I pray may some say how is that For Answer you may see the same Juggle read News coming up c. p. 14. So dust is the Serpent's meat their Original is but dust which is but the Letter which is Death and their Gospel is dust Matthew Mark Luke and John which is the Letter Thus then they own the Scriptures Sacramentally viz. to be Dust Death and Serpents meat And I will shew you how they own and confess the Sacrament of the Lord's Supper Scripturally viz. as they own the Scriptures for Proof thereof see a Book of their own writing only they are not so cunning as Arius for he never Printed his Paper I say see News coming up c. p. 34. A Voice to all you deceivers who deceive the People and Blasphemers who utter forth your Blasphemies and Hypocrisies that tell People of a Sacrament and tell them it is the Ordinance 〈◊〉 God Blush Blush and Tremble you who live in the Witchery and bewitch the People 〈◊〉 Thus Reader I have shewed how they own the Lord's Supper Scripturally and the Scripture Sacramentally which though they have Printed the same yet they are as loath to shew their Books of this kind to Authority as Arius was his Paper yet Arius could never pretend fairer to the Emperour than G. Whitehead in the Quak. Vind. c. did to the Parliament The like might be said about their owning the Fast commanded by Authority p. 3. of their Vind. For the Intent Substance and End of a true Fast this we are frequently mindful of c. Oh deceit when 't is generally known through the Nation that on the days set apart by Authority for a Fast they follow their outward Callings open their Shops and not so much as appoint a Meeting for that end as others have done I have not room to shew the depth of Hypocrisie in this Whitehead 't is like his Pretence of late Years of owning the Scriptures and preferring them before all the Books in the World but he means Sacramentally If he deny my Interpretation of their Reserves then let him shew me that any one Quaker in England of the Foxonian Tribe in Print hath recommended the Reading of the Scripture in their Religious Meetings if such I may call them As they frequently do their own Epistles for instance see Geo. Whitehead's Epistle for the Remnant of Friends c. where he concludes thus Let this Epistle be Read distinctly * Here must not be a Syllable mistaken for it came from Heaven in the Quakers And yet I question it for in pag. 12. he compares the Sufferings of the Quakers to the Sufferings of Christ like his Brother Burroughs E. B's Works in the Life and Authority of God from whence it came amongst Friends in and about London and elsewhere as Friends are moved in the same Life c. To this Instance let me add Whitehead's Doctrine in his Book A Serious Apology c. p. 49. That what is spoken by the Spirit of Truth in any meaning the Quakers is of as great Authority as the Scriptures and Chapters are and greater And for further Proof that they value their own Pamphlets above the Scripture see New Rome Arraigned c. Introd 10 Instances c. p. 40. to 47. And Quakerism withering c. p. 32. to 44. By which I have proved both from Matter of Fact and Practice what I charge them with beyond all their glossing And now I am leaving G. W. I apply my self to the Hearers amongst the Quakers and do Solemnly profess that I never wrote one Book out of Malice as he suggests and as may appear in every Book by the Proposals and Offers I therein make But if you do not call out G. W. and cause him to stand to his Proposal or else condemn and censure his Errors and the Errors in your Friends Books by him vindicated under 12 or more of your hands I do purpose if the Lord permit to proceed to a Brief History of the Rise Growth and Progress of Quakerism from the Year 1650. to 1695. And the Projects of G. Fox the Founder of Quakerism And wherein their Principles are Antichristian Antimagistratical Irrational Unreasonable Tending to subvert the Christian Faith to introduce Mahumetism Atheism c. And to shew that their Faith and Doctrine is contrary to that of the Primitive Christians Saints and Martyrs in all Ages First in denying Jesus of Nazareth contemning the Scriptures reviling the Magistrates reproaching the Ministers of the Gospel undervaluing the Death and Sufferings of Christ and exalting their own of which many are meer Cheats particularly Sam. Cater's * See New Rome un●●●●… 57. who is recorded to have suffered 20 l. where he never lost a groat but had 10 l. sent him from London so that instead of losing 20 l. for Preaching he got 10 l. clear and many other things which may occur which may be prevented by a sincere Retractation And let not G. W's Cunning and smooth and demure Carriage prevent you from Condemning what is Erroneous for though he study no Events nor fear no Effects as he says yet I would have you be wiser For
