A40227	The papists strength, principles, and doctrines (which they are sworn to preach, from the Councel of Trent, by the Popes authority, and after confirmed by the last General Assembly at Rouen, 1571, all which they have sworn to perform) answered and confuted furthermore their principles and doctrines answered and confuted, as they were laid down in two or three severall papers, by R.W. papist, lately sent from Holland : also a challenge to the pope and all his adherents to choose out of all his dominions some cardinals, fryers, or Jesuits to try their bread and wine, after consecration (by watching on their side and on our side) to prove that if afterward they have consecrated it, whether the bread and wine doth not loose its taste and savour, and so not the body and blood of Christ : also a paper to all them that fast and afflict themselves who are in the will-worship and voluntary humility : also some quæries to all the papists upon earth to be answered in writing and sent to them, which all sects upon the earth call Quakers / by George Fox.

have a licence to marry for money as it hath been by them who be of you 75 Where did the Apostles bear about candles for the purification of Mary as you do where was this practice in the Church or how do you as the Church did or believe as the Church believes when you fordid to marry Did not the Church say it was the doctrine of Devils and how do you as the Church did when you forbid the eating of meats when the Church said it was the doctrine of Devils 76 Where did the Apostles consecrate swords and send them to one another to fight with their enemies how do you here believe as the Church believes who said we wrestle not against flesh and blood and their weapons were not carnall but spiritual 77 Where did the Apostles sell Pardons and Indulgences for money who said they were not redeemed with corruptible things and how do you believe as the Church believes when you are redeeming one another with corruptible things 78 How do you forgive one another freely as Christ hath forgiven when by your Pardons Indulgencies and Buls you get great sums of money of poor ignorant people are not you in this the covetous that makes merchandize of the people that Peter saw coming in who has the wages of unrighteousnesse whose reward must be according to your works for every man must receive a reward according to his deeds And the Apostles said they were not redeemed with corruptible things as silver and gold And how are you apostatized from the Apostles doctrine that are selling pardons for silver and gold corruptible how do you here undervalue the blood of Christ which does cleanse from all sin and believe as the Church believes who said By no other name under heaven shall we be saved but by him And how is it that yee have set up another name to pardon the Pope and sell pardons Do not you in this shew and discover you to be in the apostacy from the Apostles and true Church and not to do as they did 79 Where did the Apostles set up Stews amongst them the Christians before their decease give your example but bade them flee fornication and said no unrighteousnesse must enter into the kingdome of God and he that defiled the Temple of God God would destroy And do not you in this set up that which is naught and tollerate that which is wicked 80 Where did ever the Apostles or the Saints say prayers by beads to the Saints or to Saint Mary as you do or compell any so to do or set forth such an order that should be after them Where was any such things practised among the Apostles before their decease that they must say so many prayers numbred by so many beads before they had a pardon 81 Where did the Apostles or Saints run up and down for Reliques or Bones of dead men as you do and why do you gather up the chips of Wood and Stone and dust that flyes from the door that you break open after you have chosen a Pope and keep them as precious Reliques where did ever any of the Saints do such things and has not all these things come up since the dayes of the Apostles amongst you who from them are apostatized The Protestant and Papist are fighting and striving about Works Now because the Apostle said They were justified by faith without the works of the Law And James saith that faith without works is dead And these are the Scriptures they fight about being both Protestant and Papist found out of the faith the Apostle spoke of and are found out of the works of the Law both so neither in the works of the faith nor in the works of the Law nor in seeing the intent of the Apostles Paul and James when they was speaking of justifying by faith without the works of the Law and Faith without the works was dead Now the Apostle when he speaks to the Romans of being justified by the faith without the works of the Law for the Faith in the heart takes away the nature that hath the shadowes and tipes and figures which causeth the obedience of the Law and which the fruits goes from that the Law takes hold upon and through this Faith and by it that 's removed whereby man hath access to God now the Law the works of the Law and the obedience to that made such a provision for a command being according to the Law for the tenth to be offered up for the widdows fatherlesse and Levite that there might not be a begger among them Now who comes into the faith of Christ Jesus in which the Law ends the nature is removed that pertaines to the shadows and figures which the fruits goes from which the occasion of the law comes upon them which the faith purifies and gives power and victory over the world which hath access to God which is justified in the sight of God and pleaseth him Now who are of this Faith are of Abraham over all the Idolatrous Nations Adulterers and Fornicators and all such Now this faith nourisheth and cherisheth and saves which works doth not but follows this and they are wrought in God and such cease from their own as God did from his so if a brother or a sister be naked and destitute of dayly food he feeds him and cloaths him so this Faith is in the Wisedome of God preserver of the Creation which is the Son of Gods Faith and the faith of the Elect but then the Devils faith that believes there is a God and trembles but are out of truth that cloathes not the naked brethren and doth not give them victory and sees them destitute of dayly food and doth not feed them but lets them cry up and down for bread cloa●hes about the streets this is like the Papist and Protestant and Sectaries faith and they are not the Preservers of the Creation but out of the living faith and in the dead and when they have done all this cloathed and fed and not a beggar among them it is not by their works that they are saved but by their faith which these works followes which works by love which is a preserver of the creation for it was a great work of the Apostle to bring them to the faith and to be justified by that alone without the deeds of the Law that the seed of God might come up in them the wisdome of the creation with it to be ordered and spread over it for who are of faith are of Abraham Christ according to the flesh was of Abraham so who are of Abraham are of the flesh of Christ Now when many had gotten the faith in a form being justified by it without the deeds of the Law so they which had gotten the form of the law without the life saw not Christ the substance and there rested but when these had gotten the form of being justified without the works and their brothers and their sisters were destitute of dayly food and was naked These were like unto your Christians and Papists that hath the name and talkes of a faith but it is dead therefore so many of their brethren and Sisters goes beging up and down the streets destitute of dayly food for mark they all say they are Christians and that they are baptized into the Church and into the faith and so then they are all Brethren and yet here is their Brethren up and down the streets destitute and naked and yet they will say depart in peace and be you warmed and filled and yet give them not these things which is good for them but may be make houses of correction to whip them and beat them is this like unto Christians that was amongst the Apostles or like unto the Law who had the Tythes for the service that there need not be a begger among them is not this the faith which James rebukes which is dead and all these are the Christians that hath a name but are dead from the life and doth not this dead faith carry you to beleeve that there is a God and a Christ and so the Devil doth that is the murderer and you will murder one another about Religion and faith Church and Profession and Idols and Ministery like the Heathen who will destroy one another about their Images often envied the Jews because they broke down their Images and that Faith which leads to murther the creatures about Religion Ministry and Church the same Faith will no● preserve the creation as to cloath the naked feed the hungry Now though the Apostle brought them out of the works of the Law being justified by them into the faith of Christ Jesus who brought them into the wisdome of the creation and the love of the creation the love of God which faith works by which faith God is the Author of it and this faith leads people to be preservers of the Creation feed the hungry and cloath the naked and these be the least things ye can do for these are but things that pertain to this life who are of faith as I said before are of Abraham Christ according to the flesh heirs of salvation of the world that hath no end He that believes hath entered into his rest and ceased from his owne works as God did from his and shall not come into condemnation but is passed from death to life and so loves the brethren And he it is that abides in the house of God for ever the Son of God the Son of God abides in the house for ever Cains faith and Cains sacrifice is now made manifest out of the faith of Abraham and Abel and Gods elect and the Son of
