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

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

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

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

it_o be_v not_o forbid_v in_o scripture_n and_o where_o there_o be_v no_o law_n there_o be_v no_o transgression_n but_o the_o reason_n be_v because_o it_o be_v the_o customary_a language_n in_o

it_o be_v not_o you_o that_o speak_v but_o the_o spirit_n of_o your_o father_n speak_v in_o you_o and_o the_o truth_n be_v if_o any_o man_n have_v not_o the_o spirit_n of_o christ_n the_o same_o be_v

yet_o such_o be_v not_o alone_o nor_o proper_o single_a but_o the_o word_n you_o may_v be_v proper_o use_v to_o such_o also_o and_o therefore_o if_o they_o stick_v but_o upon_o propriety_n of_o
