Whitehead's inside turn'd outward, by reprinting his ancient book Ishmael, &c. intirely, shewing thereby the Quakers ancient testimony of contempt of the Holy Scriptures and blasphemy against the blessed Trinity ... / by Francis Bugg.

Dead and Buried that he Rose again the third Day and Ascended into Heaven and there sits at the Right Hand of God making Intercession for us Sinners who lay hold on him by Faith and live in Obedience to him his Laws Institutions and Precepts in the Gospel left upon Record by the Four Evangelists Matthew Mark Luke and John and others of his Apostles in their Epistles And that we ought to Worship and Adore him together with God the Father and the Holy Ghost Three Persons and One God in the Unity of his Essence This is the Trinity in Unity of the Father Son and Holy Ghost which is One God blessed for evermore And this is that Common Christianity which I mean that the Quakers Principles are so destructive to Now the next thing I am to tell at the Prayer and Request of John Feild is Wherein and whereby their Principles are Destructive c. I. The Quakers deny Jesus of Nazareth who was Born of the Virgin and Suffered at Jerusalem to be the Son of God II. That they account him only a Vail a Garment an outward Vessel and can as their Books teach never call him Christ and that his Blood was no better than the Blood of another Saint III. They teach that their Sufferings are greater and more unjust than the Sufferings of Christ his Apostles and Martyrs in all Ages since For that as they teach the Sufferings of Christ and his Army of Martyrs were inflicted by a Law and in great part by the due Execution of a Law IV. That such are False Ministers who bid People believe in Jesus Christ as he is in Heaven above at God's Right Hand and that by Preaching Christ in Heaven the Devil gets his Work done on Earth V. They teach That G. Fox was their great Apostle which said thus of himself I am the Light of the World him by whom the World was made and doth inlighten every Man that cometh into the World VI. They teach That the Name Jesus and Christ belongs to every Believer as well as to the Head Christ that Suffered Died Rose again c. VII And thereupon they teach That he that hath the same Spirit that raised Jesus from the Dead is equal with God VIII And in coherence with this Doctrine their Prophet Sol. Eccles taught That Geo. Fox was a Prophet indeed And that as it was said of Christ He was in the World and the World was made by him and the World knew him not So it might be said of G. Fox as in the 5th Instance XI They teach That G. Fox was the Father of many Nations that his Being and Habitation was in the Power of the highest that he Ruled and Governed in Righteousness that his Kingdom is established in Peace and that of the Increase thereof there was never to be an End X. They teach That the Holy Scriptures are not the written Word of God but contrarywise that they are Dust Death Serpents Meat Beastly Ware but that their own Writings are the Word of God given forth by Divine Iuspiration and that they as such are of greater Authority than the Bible and thereupon read them in their Meetings for Divine Worship whilst they never read in any such Meeting this Fifty Year one Chapter of the Bible either in the Old or New Testament For they teach They are not the means to work Faith in the Heart but are a Rotten Foundation XI They teach That Circumcision is as much in force as Water-Baptism and the Paschal Lamb as Bread and Wine and their disuse of these two Ordinances for this Fifty Years shew that they reject them and allows not of them XII And touching the Doctrine of the Blessed Trinity they are so far from owning it as that they Damn them to the Pit of Hell as in G. Whitehead's Book Ishmael c. herein Reprinted may he seen Now John I having Replied to your Book A Defence of an Apology c. i. e. to the principal parts of it and shewed your Falacies and shallow Subterfuges as well as in some places answered your Request I rest desiring that your self and your People may Consider of it Repent of your Errors Retract and Condemn the same and Pray to God and the Nation to forgive you in which I shall join with you And in this you will have no cause to cry out of Persecution who am your Friend Fran. Bugg An Humble Address to His Majesty King WILLIAM III. over England c. by one of the Meanest yet most Dutiful Subject FRANCIS BUGG May it please your Most Excellent Majesty I Cannot but with great Joy and Comfort Remember your Majesties Repeated Assurances given to your Loving Subjects of your Majesties Care and Christian Zeal for the Protestant Religion as by Law established in this Kingdom by your many and repeated Speeches to your Parliaments and particularly by your late Gracious Proclamation consisting of two Parts In which your Majesties Pious Zeal has been abundantly manifest First Against Vice and Prophaneness and Secondly Against such Books as contain in them Impious Doctrine against the Holy Trinity and other Fundamental Articles of the Christian Faith and therein have given Encouragement to all your Loving Subjects to discover the Authors of such Books Wherefore in Obedience to your Majesties Royal Command as well as my Duty therein to God I have herein Reprinted one of the Quakers Books of which Geo. Whitehead is one of the Authors to the intent that your Sacred Majesty and the whole Kingdom may be presented with a Specimen of the Quakers Doctrine And do most Humbly Pray in the Name of the Church of England and other your Majesties Dissenting Protestants that such Care may be taken to suppress the same with others of their Books of the same Narure as to your Royal Wisdom shall seem meet And as it pleased God Almighty to give King Solomon Wisdom to Execute Justice so will he endue the King with an Understanding Heart to Judge who is in the wrong and to Punish accordingly And in this case let not the King Respect Persons in Judgment but if I be not able to maintain my Charge then let me bear his Majesties Displeasure and suffer what Punishment shall be due for the same But if I do make good my Charge then do as seems good in your Eye Thus with all Dutiful Submission do I Sign this my Humble Address this 13th Day of December 1699.

Altar that Ten of the Quakers Teachers have received more Gifts than Fifty of our Episcopal Divines Rectors of Parishes in the Counties of Suffolk and Norfolk only by strewing a few Ashes on the Floor or something Equivolent But as the Priests of Bell were too powerful for Daniel without Assistance from the Government even so are the Quakers for me I can only discover the Riddle and propose a Method to try them by but cannot bring the Matter about to bring proof thereof without Assistance from the Government But as Daniel by his threefold Medicine Pitch Fat Hair boil'd together by God's Blessing burst in sunder the Babylonians Dragon their other Idol-God even so have I been Instrument l with the help of Pen and Ink Paper well prest together and applied Warm with God's Blessing Burst in sunder the Quakers great Idol their Darkness within which they call Light So that their Infallibility is flown one way and their Sinless Perfection another their Spiritual Discerning they pretend to so as to know who are Saints and who are Devils and who are Apostates without speaking a Word this way and their Miracles that way And if to bring this to pass I have sometimes taken the freedom of the Prophet Elijah 1 King 18. who speaking to the Prophets of Baal in a Holy Derision of them and their Idol Gods said Ver. 27. And it came to pass at Noon that Elijah mocked them and said Cry aloud for he is a God either he is Talking or he is Pursuing or he is in a Journey or peradventure he Sleepeth and must be Awaked c. if then I have taken such freedom with the false Quaker Prophets and their Dumb Idols which can neither See Hear nor Understand much less discern who are Saints who are Devils or who are Apostates without speak-ever a Word or if I have with the Woman of Tekoah 2 Sam. 14. by way of Metaphor brought about a Form of Speech with design to get the Quakers examined whether what have been Objected against them be true or not I hope it is Pardonable since in all Ages in the World the same Cause leads to the same thing For I do Believe and not without Ground That as there never was a People since Simon the Sorcerer pretended to such High Prophetical Attainments so likewise there never was a Sect of Falser Prophets since the time of Elijah nor that ever held such Blasphemous Principles as their Books set forth And they say they are the same still their Principles the same and not changed Be not deceived I beseech you by the Quakers who appear like the Pharisees Fair and Beautiful even like Painted Sepulchers Remember the Subtilty of the Gibionites Josh 9. how they by their Dissimulation deceived good Joshua and all the Princes of the Congregation of Israel The Quakers tell you they own the Scriptures to be given by Divine Inspiration but mean not one word of it like other Christians for so they own their own Books They tell you they own a Scripture Trinity but mean not a word of it This is a Matter Right Honourable of great weight and your Honours will find it as difficult a thing to gain the true meaning of the Quakers touching the Divine Authority of the Holy Scriptures and their Belief of a Scripture Trinity as Constantius the Emperour found it in the Examination of Arius the Heretick to get his true meaning touching the Faith of one Substance For the Quakers as did Arius mean as they have written but how Namely in their own Books I mean of that sort they read in their Meetings and keep close among themselves one of which I have herein Reprinted In these sorts of Books they deny the Scriptures to be the Written Word of God For it is say they a Rotten Foundation Dust Death and Serpents Meat In like manner they dissemble the Doctrine of the Trinity when they pretend to own it whilst in their Books they Damn it to the Pit and Lake All this and much more I offer to make appear who am with all Submission Right Honourable Your Honours most Humble and most Obedient Servant Fran. Bugg A PREFACE By Way of PARABLE THere was an Island very Populous and well Scituated the Air good and the People generally of a sound Constitution and governed by wholesom Laws and professed the most Reformed Religion of any Nation round about them But so it fell out that in the North Part of this Island Anno 1650. there arose a great Sea-Monster † Viz. Geo. ●●x alias 〈◊〉 Magus of a Luciferian Pride who pretended that he and all that received embraced and had the same Spirit that moved him were equal to God That he was the Eternal Judge of the World and knew who were Saints who were Devils and who were Apostates without speaking ever a Word and he having betrothed himself to a young Harlot * i. e. The ●●nters she conceived and brought forth her Young to whom she drew out her Breasts and gave them Suck and they multiplied exceedingly and many of them became fiery flying Serpents † Such of 〈◊〉 Pro●●●ts as ●●●re him ●●●h Di●●●e Attri●●●es and spread themselves like Locusts all over the Island some entering the Churches where they stung both Men Women and Children others entered into the Market-places Barns Orchards and private Chambers like the Frogs in Egypt poysoning the Air and infecting much People Upon this the Physicians both Conformists and Nonconformists were extreamly allarmed not well knowing what to do or what Course to take to stop the Gangrene of this Pestilential Disease and to heal the People who were bitten by these Serpents but as wise Physicians they took their Christian Dispensatory * i. e. The Holy Scriptures and turn'd over to this Chapter and that Verse and made excellent Receipts which were sold at reasonable Rates at every Booksellers Shop and prepared many Antidotes against the Venom of this dangerous Infection But these wounded People being intoxicated by the Venom of these Scorpions they refused all these Christian Offers but the Physicians as in Duty bound resolved to apply their Medicines to the grieved part of this wounded and bewitched People who like the Samaritans of old said That this Monster was the Power of God † G. Fox's Journal 3d Index under the Letter M. that he wrought Miracles that he had Power to bind and loose whom he pleased and cried out who is able to make War with the Beast But notwithstanding the Power and Prevalency of this Dragon they applied as aforesaid their Medicines very warm and withal giving them some Physick to purge away the Dregs of their Distemper which as soon as they had done and before they could finish their Prayers for a Blessing upon their Endeavours these diseased People grew into a raging Fit and raved at the Physicians like mad Men saying We are perfect and free from Sin sound and have no need of any

but to it art found adding in thy reason and thy invention and therefore the plagues that are in it written is thy portion and the lake which is the portion of all lyars as thou art Rev. 21.8 Rev. 22.18 19. Priest Again thou sayest that the Scriptures ought to convince us as Christians reason as rational men Answ They that are Christians do see and comprehend thee and thy reason thy faith thy obedience thy rule thy foundation to be without the foundation and the word which was before thy inventions was and before Tuball Cain the inventer thy father was P. 8. 4 to in whose condition thou art and the word and foundation and the way was before the Beast and false Prophet was which thou art Isa 9.15 16. and this rule and foundation and worde did Moses David and the rest of the holy men of God witness who spoke forth Scripture which thou calls the word rule and foundation 1 Cor. 3.11 Psal 18.2.31.3 Here thou would make Moses David and the rest of the holy men of God who spoke forth Scripture blind like thy selfe both without the word rule and foundation Priest Now to prove the Scripture the word of God thou brings Exod. 20.1 Levit. 10.13 and many other Scriptures thou brings to the same effect how God spoke these words Answ Thou blind sot we challenge thee in the presence of the living God to prove in any of these * They deny the Scriptures to be the written Word of God This is their Ancient Testimony from which they are not changed they tell you so Scriptures that the Scriptures are the written word of God or else stop thy mouth thou evil beast and slow belly dost thou make no difference between the word and these words and here again wee charge thee to be a lyar and an adder to Scripture Priest And thou brings these Scriptures Isa 24.3 and Psal 125. and other Scriptures to the same purpose how the Lord saith and thus saith the Lord and Jer. 1.1 2.4.9 the words of Jeremiah to whom the word of the Lord came Answ And the word of the Lord that came to Joel Amos and others thou dreamer doth ever Isaiah Jeremiah or David or Joel or Amos or any of the holy men of God say that the Scripture is the written word whenas God who is the word John 1. spoke these words unto them whose voice thou never heard who spoke unto them before the Letter was written which is a declaration of what the word spoke unto them or was that paper and Ink or could it be contained in paper and Inke which came to the Prophets whenas Jeremiah saith the word is fire in his heart and a burning shut up in his bones and a hammer that breaks the rocks Jer. 20.9 Jer. 23.29 30. and behold I am against the Prophets saith the Lord that steal my word every one from his neighbors and behold I am against the Prophets saith the Lord that use their tongues and say he saith and behold I am against them saith the Lord that profess false dreams and tell them as thou dost and cause my People to erre by their lyes P. 9. 4 to and by their lightness yet I sent them not nor commanded them therefore they shall not profit the people at all saith the Lord and there thou art among the false Prophets and dreamers which Jeremiah who witnessed the word cryed wo against such Pastors as thou art Jer. 23.1 Priest Thou sayest thou shalt not need to mention the sayings and doing of our Saviour Christ which are frequently recorded in the New Testament and hence it is called the word of Christ and thou brings the Scripture Coloss 3.16 let the word of Christ dwel in you Answ Here again we challenge thee to be a lyar and an adder to the Scripture dost thou make no difference between death and life for Christ saith my words gives life and it was by his word that the dead was raised John 11. now that which Matthew Mark Luke and John wrote of Christ could not give life for that is called a Declaration of those things which was freely delivered among them Luke 1.1 and that thou calls the word which is death and killeth as thou may read 2 Cor. 3. and Paul was a Minister of the New-Testament and not of the Letter which thou calls the New-Testament ver 6. and this word which dwelt in the Saints they did neither call the Bible nor the Letter as thou dost here thou hast manifested thy self to be a blinde guide both ignorant of the Word and the Letter Priest Thou sayest that it is all one to say the Scripture saith and God saith Answ Thou blasphemous beast dost thou make no difference between the Scripture and God or is the Scripture God * God who is the Word so they do not distinguish the Father from the Son i. e. the Second Person of the Trinity when the Scripture saith God who is the word was in the beginning and by him was all things made and this was before the Scriptures was written John 1.1 which thou would make thy God of and here let all that reads this see thy blasphemie Priest Again thou sayest the word Scripture is put for God speaking in the Scripture and thou brings Joshua 1.5 Answ Let all that reads that Scripture Judge and condemn thee to be a Lyar for it speaks not such a word as God speaking in the Scripture Priest Again the same page thou sayest that all the rest that is written in the volume is but a comment or exposition of those ten precepts Answ Thou diviner where dost thou prove such a Scripture as comment was that which the Prophets Christ and his Apostles spoke out a comment or exposition here again we charge thee Priest Townsend to be an inventer and a deviser of lyes P. 9. 4 to which thou hast no Scripture for Priest Again thou sayest that thus it appears that the Scriptures are the word of God because God writ them and caused them to be written Answ That which is written is the Letter which is death and killeth 2 Cor. 3.16 but the word is living Heb. 4.12 there again with the Scipture thou art disaproved to be a lyar Priest Again in another page thou sayest that the Scriptures are called the counsel of God the will of the Lord the mystery of Gods will and thou bring these Scriptures Rom. 3.2 1 Pet. 4.11 Acts 20.27 Psal 33.11 and Pro. 19.21 Ephes 5.17 and to conclude this thou sayest that God himself calls the Scriptures his word and to maintain that thou brings Zach. 1.6 Answ Let all that reads these * Here Mr. Townsend is together with the Holy Scripture judged and condemned behold their Ancient Testimony Scriptures see thee to be a perverter of Scripture and adds thy inventions to them for they that spoke forth these Scriptures knew the Counsell of God and the mystery and the Gospell
