A77227	The Quakers quaking principles examined and refuted in a briefe answer to some erroneous tenets held forth by James Naylor in his answers unto Mr Baxter, and some others that have publikely opposed that blacke spirit in the deluded Quakers. Wherein is also included a serious admonition, how wee ought to behave our selves towards the ministers of the gospell, in respect of communicating unto them; and for giving to the poore, so as the Gospell requires: and to beware of covetousnesse, and the effects thereof, least wee be left of God, and delivered up unto strong delusions, and a blasphemous spirit instead of the spirit of God. The heads of the whole discourse are also premised. / Written by Ellis Bradshavve.	Bradshaw, Ellis.	1656 (1656)	Wing B4147; Thomason E869_1; ESTC R207737	57,239	71

not_o be_v well_o accept_v if_o we_o justify_v ourselves_o in_o such_o poor_a degree_n and_o measure_n of_o love_n both_o to_o god_n and_o man_n 3._o for_o he_o require_v fruit_n suitable_a to_o his_o

call_v to_o it_o even_o to_o lay_v down_o our_o life_n for_o the_o brethren_n which_o be_v the_o most_o of_o all_o yet_o it_o be_v nothing_o too_o much_o under_o gospell-dispensation_n for_o it_o be_v

and_o this_o in_o all_o likelihood_n will_v be_v so_o again_o when_o the_o heart_n of_o the_o father_n be_v turn_v to_o the_o child_n and_o the_o heart_n of_o the_o child_n unto_o their_o father_n which_o be_v as_o much_o to_o say_v as_o when_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n in_o the_o ministry_n of_o his_o word_n take_v a_o kindly_a impression_n in_o the_o heart_n of_o his_o people_n so_o as_o to_o

expect_v for_o all_o his_o prayer_n be_v effectual_a and_o therefore_o we_o ought_v to_o endeavour_v after_o this_o unity_n in_o the_o spirit_n which_o be_v the_o bond_n of_o all_o true_a peace_n and_o amity_n and_o so_o often_o as_o we_o pray_v that_o the_o kingdom_n of_o god_n may_v come_v with_o power_n that_o be_v to_o say_v that_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n may_v rule_v in_o our_o heart_n so_o often_o we_o pray_v that_o the_o kingdom_n of_o god_n may_v come_v so_o with_o power_n to_o all_o his_o people_n and_o that_o we_o may_v be_v one_o as_o god_n be_v one_o and_o that_o we_o may_v

rather_o shall_v it_o easy_o induce_v we_o to_o part_v with_o our_o good_n and_o that_o not_o only_o a_o ten_o but_o all_o that_o we_o have_v for_o as_o the_o apostle_n john_n affirm_v hereby_o

love_n of_o god_n in_o that_o man_n but_o much_o more_o when_o they_o shut_v their_o bowel_n from_o supply_v the_o want_n of_o their_o faithful_a minister_n who_o teach_v they_o in_o the_o word_n who_o come_v unto_o they_o in_o the_o name_n of_o the_o lord_n and_o bring_v they_o glad_a tiding_n good_a news_n a_o rich_a treasure_n precious_a promise_n blessing_n from_o on_o high_a christ_n

the_o most_o high_a god_n possessor_n of_o heaven_n and_o earth_n sure_o i_o say_v it_o and_o that_o without_o all_o peradventure_o that_o neither_o the_o love_n of_o god_n nor_o the_o love_n of_o christ_n nor_o the_o love_n of_o the_o brethren_n nor_o of_o his_o faithful_a ambassador_n dwell_v in_o that_o man_n rea_n for_o if_o a_o man_n love_v not_o his_o brother_n who_o he_o have_v see_v how_o can_v he_o love_v god_n who_o he_o have_v not_o see_v yea_o the_o invisible_a god_n who_o never_o man_n see_v neither_o can_v see_v but_o only_o in_o spirit_n through_o a_o eye_n of_o faith_n save_v only_o in_o man_n who_o be_v his_o image_n when_o once_o perfect_o renew_v and_o who_o we_o ought_v to_o love_n and_o respect_n and_o honour_v according_o as_o we_o see_v his_o image_n repair_v in_o he_o yea_o though_o never_o so_o poor_a and_o despisable_a in_o the_o world_n and_o in_o the_o world_n account_n and_o therefore_o to_o make_v it_o clear_a that_o these_o duty_n of_o communication_n and_o distribution_n be_v moral_a duty_n require_v in_o the_o moral_a law_n of_o god_n and_o that_o they_o be_v not_o ceremonial_a abrogable_a law_n but_o must_v abide_v till_o all_o be_v fullfil_v take_v these_o further_a ground_n 1._o they_o be_v not_o only_o command_v in_o horeb_n but_o by_o christ_n himself_o and_o by_o his_o holy_a apostle_n see_v 1_o john_n 3.23_o this_o be_v his_o commandment_n that_o we_o shall_v believe_v on_o the_o name_n of_o his_o son_n jesus_n christ_n and_o love_v one_o another_o as_o he_o give_v we_o commandment_n now_o the_o measure_n of_o that_o love_n which_o christ_n have_v command_v be_v not_o a_o little_a and_o so_o away_o but_o the_o measure_n be_v even_o as_o christ_n have_v love_v we_o but_o without_o all_o controversy_n if_o the_o measure_n must_v be_v so_o as_o christ_n have_v love_v we_o than_o it_o will_v engage_v we_o if_o occasion_n require_v even_o to_o lay_v down_o our_o life_n for_o the_o brethren_n but_o if_o it_o will_v engage_v we_o to_o lay_v down_o our_o life_n then_o much_o more_o our_o estate_n as_o have_v be_v say_v not_o only_o some_o but_o all_o if_o need_v so_o require_v for_o the_o glory_n of_o god_n and_o the_o good_a of_o the_o brethren_n and_o for_o the_o furtherance_n of_o the_o gospel_n resolve_v and_o therefore_o there_o need_v no_o stint_n as_o in_o the_o time_n of_o the_o law_n to_o a_o ten_o part_n for_o where_o they_o be_v teach_v of_o god_n to_o love_v one_o another_o with_o that_o measure_n as_o they_o ought_v it_o will_v natural_o engage_v they_o so_o as_o they_o can_v be_v satisfy_v with_o give_v a_o ten_o nor_o any_o part_n at_o all_o if_o need_v so_o require_v but_o they_o will_v part_v with_o all_o and_o their_o life_n to_o boot_n for_o the_o name_n of_o christ_n and_o rather_o than_o any_o shall_v lack_v that_o belong_v to_o he_o and_o though_o a_o ten_o be_v sufficient_a in_o the_o time_n of_o the_o law_n yet_o i_o can_v find_v in_o all_o the_o new_a
