THE QUAKERS NO Deceivers Or the Management of an unjust Charge against them Confuted BEING A BRIEF RETURN to a Pamphlet Intituled The Quakers Proved Deceivers and such as the People ought not to listen to or follow but to account Accursed in the Management of a Charge given out against them to that effect By John Horne who calls Himself Preacher of the Gospel at South-Lin in Norfolke who is a chief Teacher among the People called Mooreans or Universalists Who hath given forth a pretended and imperfect Relation of a Discourse which was between him and George Whitehead in the Chancel of South-Lin wherin he hath falsely made his boast how that he made good his said Charge against G.W. before some Hundreds of people but many unprejudiced persons who heard the Discourse between them can witnesse against the said I.H. as a vain Boaster in his Pride of a Victory where he had it not And herein i● the said J. Ho●ne proved to be such a one as he hath falsely charged the Quak●rs proved to be and ●is false Doctrines touching several things of much Concernment Discovere● and his slanders and perverting the Truth reproved and the Truth of God cleared For the Information of the People called Universalists and other Professors and People See PSAL. 7.14 15. By one who is counted a Deceiver yet true George Whitehead LONDON Printed for Giles Calvert at the Black-Spread-Eagle near the West-end of Pauls 1660. ●Lessed are they that are not offended at the truth 〈…〉 ●bide in the love of it as it is made manifest 〈…〉 who live in the life and power of God 〈…〉 ●●i●h fathomes over and comprehends the sub 〈…〉 S●rpent which greatly appears these our d●y●● 〈…〉 the seed of God and the wisdoms and power of G●● b●ing manifest in a large measure in his Servants which gives them dominion in the life and innocency to reign over the haters of the truth and wisdom to discover all their subtilty and crafts this is their torment and vexation and the more they strive against the truth which we are in the more they are drowned in their confusion and overwhelmed in their darkness Therefore let us whom the Lord hath called into his work go on in the name and power of our God with boldness and confidence in him in this day of the Lambs battel for the Lord is with us and it is in his strength that we are made able to tread over our enemies and to trample over all their malignity and deceits which they appear in against the truth of our God which is dear unto us and after many contests and much opposition which we have passed thorow and met with from the deceivers of many sorts in this age who are of the Dragons Armie who like their Leader are wroth with the seed of the Woman which keeps the Commands of God I have of late time met with one Iohn Horn one of the same Army who hath shewed his rage and madness as much against the truth both in his Books and Papers as any that ever I met with and his torment being begun his rage and malice is the greater notwithstanding by many he is had in reputation and set up beyond the Priests of the Nation but hath foamed out his shame more then many of them The occasion of my last disputing with him on the 13 day of the 11th moneth 59 was his posting up many Papers publikely in Lin wherein he charged the Quakers to be Deceivers and such as the people ought not to hear or follow but to account accursed and said that he should be ready to make it good as and when thereto lawfully called Upon which I several times for the Truth sake sent to him to come forth in publike before I could get him so out for he would have had us met at his house or at a friends house of his which was not convenient for such a meeting as was to be but at length he proffered to meet me in the Chancel in the Steeple house end where we met and after I had heard him speak a pretty time against us and had some liberty to answer to some of the chief things he objected against us we had some discourse about several weighty things as freedom from sin ●nd the new-born state the redemption of the body and the coming of Christ and the cheif thing I. H. drove at was to make people beleeve That there is no man living upon earth that sinneth not or that could be perfectly freed from sin in this life and that the Proph●●s and Apostles had sin in them so long as they l●ved and so he made War for his Fathers Kingdome which is upheld by sin as much as he could as the rest of the deceivers chiefly do and in the power of the Lord I speake in Vindication of the truth to clear it from his false aspersions and slanders as much as I might have liberty to for I. H. and some of his Company were very uncivil towards me in many of them clam●uring at once against me but the Lord appeared with me and his truth which then reached his witness in the Consciences of many and many heard me with soberness which as appears was a grief to my adversary and as is probable was some cause of his publishing an imperfect Relation of the dispute in Print to render me and the truth odious and in his pride to make people beleeve he had gotten the victory or maistery touching which his vain boasting and deceit is hereafter discovered and the Truth cleared And now from sufficient grounds and tryal I affirm and can through the strength of God make good these things against the said J. Horn and charge them against him as followeth c. 1. That he is out of the life and steps of the true Ministers and in the steps and practises of Deceivers and so is a Hypocrite and no Minister of Christ who being a Parish-priest is guilty of the Priests iniquity in many things whom he hath declared against 2. That he upholds a dead and formal Worship like the World whereunto people are not called by the Spirit of truth for it is not the true Worship so that he keeps people from the life of God his Ministry being both dead formal and corrupt 3. That his Ministry vvherein he contends for sin pleading that none can be perfectly free from it in this life is Antichristian and both against the commands promises and works of God and tends to the making both the preaching and praying of Christ and the Saints ineffectual 4. And that he the said I. H. like a cholerick envious man against the truth of God and his people is a forger of lies a false acc●●●● a slanderer and so is one of the Dragons Army who was wroth with the woman that brought forth the man childe and the remnant of her seed that kept the commands of God These 〈◊〉 last charges against him are hereafter
