They that eat it have it in them p. 222. But where was it before they eat it Or how came they by it to eat By all these it is evident They G. F. c. reject the Person of our Lord Jesus of Nazareth as the only Christ and Saviour his Flesh Blood and Body which was laid hands on and slain and laid in the Sepulchre whom the Apostle bore witness to Acts 13. As the Word of Salvation and the Saviour and not only the Godhead in him but him that Person our Lord Jesus Nay such was their Reverence towards his Holy Person and Body that the Apostle treats of him as the Meritorious Cause of Justification But he is by these Quakers contemned and the Light within every Man dignified with his Titles and Offices and to be his Flesh and his Blood contrary to the Scriptures for in the 13 Heb. it 's said That he might sanctifie the People with his own Blood he suffered without the Gate 10 Heb. By the which will we are sanctified by the offering of the Body of Jesus once for all Now judge ye which is safest to take that Person our Lord Jesus of Nazareth his Body and Blood for the Object of our Faith and Hope of Salvation through the Satisfaction he made to the Father in his own Person and being thereby justified in the sight of God according to the Scriptures or the Light in every Man which these Quakers make to be Christ his Flesh and Blood Justification Sanctification c. nay the very Root of God but I think this their Doctrine is the Root of Blasphemous Rantism I could give many more Instances of the perverseness and erroneousness of their Spirit but these and a few more that follow are enough and too many to testifie against them and manifest that this Spirit they blasphemously term Christ his Infallible Spirit and Power is that mentioned 2 Thess 2. The man of sin that exalteth himself above all that is called God But according as is prophesied he is in measure revealed Therefore all who love the Lord Jesus beware Again one says The Seed to whom the Promise of Salvation is made is or hath been sinners G. F. Answers The Promise is to the Seed which Seed is the hope Christ that purifieth even as God is pure and here is the Creature come to know his Liberty among the Sons of God and the Seed Christ never sinneth p. 324. From G. F's Answer I observed that he did imply as if Christ whom he terms the Seed had need of Salvation and I leave it to the Reader to Judge considering the Affirmation and his Answer thereto and notwithstanding they Quarrel with me yet they seem to allow as much For in their Discoverer Discovered p. 21 22. say they For G. F's asserting that the Seed to whom the Promises were made was Christ read Gal. 3. 16. Pray observe their deceit here for the difference between T. T. and G. F. was not whether or no there were not Promises to Christ as the Seed But saith T. T. The Seed to whom the Promises of Salvation are made And although Christ be in Scripture termed the Seed and the Seed said to be Christ yet in a Scripture-sense Men also are termed the Seed as all the Posterity of a Man are his Seed And in the 3 Gal. 29. If ye be Christ's then are ye Abraham 's Seed These were Persons and had been sinners as T. T. affirms and G. F. opposes him therein Also in pag. 325. T. T. says The Seed of Israel are Men and not only something in Man Now by his words not only it is evident he doth allow that something in Man may in a sense be also called the Seed but G. F. by opposing him herein doth imply as if the Promise of Salvation was to Christ as if he had need of Salvation And besides the unsoundness of G. F's Juggling long two-faced Answers he hath shewed himself void of Charity and therefore his Spirit cannot be the Spirit of Christ And by the Fruits they bring forth it 's easie to Judge into what Root G. F. c. are grafted and grown out of And they are as Scandalous and Offensive in some Expressions above Civil Government They say Are not all those Elders Christians that will dote so much on an Earthly King Traytors against Christ Neither do you read that there were any Earthly Kings since the days of the Apostles but among the Apostate Christians Herod the King was mad at the Child Jesus and sought to slay all the Children in Bethlehem There is the Fruit of Earthly Kings and such a King would our false Christians have c. G. F. To the Presbyterians c. Also observe how they treated the Peers of the Realm Say they What a Sincerity was there once in the Nation What a dirty nasty thing would it have been to have heard talk of a House of Lords among them In a Book To the Council and Officers of the Army p. 7. Again say they Let all those Fines that belong to Lords of Mannors be given to the Poor People for the Lords have enough G. F's Counsel to the Parliament c. p. 8. Also concerning Episcopacy they say in their Book entituled An Alarm c. by T. E. p. 6. Did not you make a Solemn Covenant with God that you would utterly extirpate Episcopacy that dead loathsome Form Did not you spew it up and will you turn again and lick up your own Vomit Oh do not so do not run wilfully into Destruction Also G. F. in his Great Mystery c. pag. 90. saith M. B. saith If an Hypocrite Reign his Power is of God and Saints are to yield to the Power and it must have Honour and Obedience from the Saints This is sound Christian Doctrine but G. F. he opposes it and says to this M. B. in Answer Such as are turned into Corruption and are Hypocrites they are gone from the Higher Power and so for the Lord's sake the Saints cannot be subject to that Power Again says G. F. The Saints cannot now bow to that which the Pope Kings and Queens set up although they call it a Supream Power that commands the things For the Beast's Power hath set up your Tithes Temples and Colledges This is against M. B. who does not plead for Obedience to things contrary to the Will of God And this of G. F's is unchristian because it represents all those who be of one mind or the same mind and Judgment with him not profitable Subjects to the Government Notwithstanding they thus contemptuously Print of others whose Degree and Station is far more considerable than theirs in respect of their Interest in the Government Yet in a Book called Certain Certificates c. by J. P. I find they are greatly offended and resent it very highly and of ill consequence that one of their Preachers being a Justice in Pensilvania was by one termed Prick-louse Taylor although he
