A84808	Saul's errand to Damascus: with his packet of letters from the high-priests, against the disciples of the Lord. Or, A faithful transcript of a petition contrived by some persons in Lancanshire, who call themselves ministers of the gospel, breathing out threatnings and slaughters against a peaceable & godly people there, by them nick-named Quakers. Together with the defence of the persons thereby traduced, against the slanderous and false suggestions of that petition, and other untruths charged upon them.

Fox, George, 1624-1691.; Lawson, John, of Lancaster.	1653 (1653)	Wing F1894; Thomason E689_17; ESTC R206937	30,408	48

It would be a strange thing to see one now fall downe Dan. 10.9 as Paul fell downe and trembled and as Daniel fell down and trembled and to see one as Habakkuk his belly to tremble and his lips to quiver Hab. 3.16 and as David to lye roaring all the day long who cryed till his sight was grown dim and his flesh failed of fatness and till he could number his bones and to see one as Isaiah to rent his garment and his mantle and pluck his hair off his head and off his beard and sit down astonished Isa 66.5 and would it not be strange to see such an Assembly as came to Isaiah which had all trembling hearts Hear the word of the Lord all ye that tremble at his word Work out your salvation with fear and trembling Before their faces the people shall be much pained Joel 2.6 all faces shall gather blackness The Prophets and Ministers of God have all one Spirit according to measure and did encourage those that did tremble wherein it shews that you have not the same Spirit but seek to persecute and fix scandals and accuse them falsly The Ministery of truth ever drew from all the Ministry of the world and from under all the laws of the world up to God and from all the Gods of the earth and then they witnessed that the Lord was their Law-giver the Lord was their King the Lord was their Judge Object George Fox professed and avowed that he was equal with God Answ It was not so spoken as George Fox was equal with God but the Father and the Son is one John 14.9 10.
