A47166	Quakerism no popery, or, A particular answere to that part of Iohn Menzeis, professor of divinity in Aberdeen, (as he is called) his book, intituled Roma mendax Wherein the people called Quakers are concerned, whom he doth accuse as holding many popish doctrins, and as if Quakerism, (so he nick-names our religion,) were but popery-disguised. In which treatise his alleadged grounds for this his assertion, are impartialy and fairly examined and confuted: and also his accusation of popery against us, justly retorted upon himself, and his bretheren.

the_o lord_n now_o see_v we_o do_v express_o hold_v and_o believe_v it_o as_o a_o most_o certain_a truth_n that_o all_o freewill_n in_o man_n unto_o any_o good_a thing_n acceptable_a unto_o god_n have_v a_o most_o absolute_a and_o necessary_a dependence_n upon_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n and_o the_o efficacy_n thereof_o we_o can_v in_o any_o justice_n of_o reason_n be_v think_v to_o affirm_v that_o the_o efficacy_n of_o grace_n depend_v on_o man_n freewill_n see_v a_o mutual_a dependency_n imply_v a_o manifest_a contradiction_n i_o conceive_v that_o i._o m._n draw_v his_o consequence_n from_o this_o that_o we_o say_v the_o grace_n of_o god_n many_o time_n work_v so_o gentle_o upon_o the_o soul_n and_o heart_n of_o man_n that_o they_o may_v resist_v it_o and_o so_o put_v a_o stop_n in_o the_o way_n of_o their_o conversion_n therefore_o he_o conclude_v according_a to_o our_o principle_n the_o efficacy_n of_o grace_n depend_v on_o man_n freewill_n but_o this_o consequence_n i_o

it_o as_o to_o conversion_n namely_o to_o render_v they_o without_o excuse_n and_o be_v against_o they_o a_o just_a ground_n of_o their_o condemnation_n as_o christ_n say_v john_n 3.19_o this_o be_v the_o condemnation_n that_o light_n be_v come_v into_o the_o world_n nor_o be_v the_o intent_n of_o god_n frustrate_v thereby_o but_o sufficient_o answer_v for_o god_n intention_n be_v only_o that_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n shall_v convert_v they_o who_o do_v not_o resist_v it_o and_o be_v a_o just_a ground_n of_o condemnation_n against_o those_o who_o do_v resist_v and_o reject_v it_o moreover_o the_o same_o consequence_n may_v be_v draw_v against_o i._n m._n himself_o and_o his_o brethren_n by_o way_n of_o retorsion_n see_v the_o grace_n of_o god_n may_v be_v resist_v in_o order_n to_o

in_o a_o sinless_a state_n who_o make_v no_o resistance_n unto_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n in_o he_o but_o in_o all_o thing_n yield_v unto_o it_o and_o comply_v full_o therewith_o now_o if_o resist_v in_o the_o one_o sense_n infer●_n that_o the_o efficacy_n of_o grace_n depend_v on_o man_n freewill_n resist_v in_o the_o other_o sense_n will_v infer_v the_o same_o also_o see_v it_o be_v the_o
