A44799	The mouth of the pit stopped and the smoke that hath arisen out of it scattered by the breath of truth in answer to a lying story called Hell broken loose, or, The history of the Quakers, published by Thomas Underhill, a seller of the whores merchandize otherwise called a book-seller : his lyes returned upon him, his accusations answered and his envie decleared and truth cleared from all his reproaches / by one that waits to see death and hell cast into the lake of fire, with the beast and false-prophet, Francis Howgil.	Howgill, Francis, 1618-1669.	1659 (1659)	Wing H3172; ESTC R6601	19,385	26

make good that which thou hast charged some with Hast thou not knowingly wronged us when thou hast brought all those which thou counts Hereticks all Europe over and some parts else and whatsoever they did or said must be imputed unto us I know thy envy in times past with the rest of the Priests was as much against them who were separate from your Assemblies as now against us and all these things that thou hast racked up in this book out of Histories of Germany of new England which I am not credulous to receive from thy mouth no more then I shall thy History as thou calls it of the Quakers for thou which wilt lye of them which are so near thee may report many untruths at a distance and these things the hireling Priests were wont to charge upon the Baptists and Independants but now we are become the object of all your reproach and your butt to shoot at but we are in that which the Devil cannot prevail against neither the gates of Hell In thy third Chap. thou saith Thou wilt Treat of the Predecessors of the Quakers and thou reckons up Simon Magus Menander Saturnus how he taught that Marriage and Generation was of Sathan and Arians who denied the Divinity of Christ and Pelagius a Monk who held that a man without the Grace of God was able to fulfil all the Commandements of God and of Balsidies that he taught that it was not Jesus but Simon of Cyrene that was crucified in his shape These are none of our Predecessours take them to thy self and whether hast thou not knowingly wronged us in these things and how wilt thou make every thing good which thou hast charged us withal These things forementioned and many more which I shall pass over as not to trouble the Reader with in which thou hast charged us falsly wherein thou art required to make good the charge or else cease thy clamerous tongue these that thou hast reckoned up you use to call them Arians Saturnians and Palagians but now thou hast made them all Quakers In thy 13th page thou manifests what spirit thou art of thou tells of the old Church-Government being taken away to wit the Common-prayer Book taken out of the Mass-book then began Sects to arise So that it seems thy chief Reformation and Religion is but the old Lithurgy which is little better then the Mass and the Ministers the old corrupt Bishops that the earth groaned with the burthen thereof whose Ordination Call is from the Pope their Original and from the Church of Rome your Mother from whence these State-hirelings which burthens the whole Creation sprang forth thou would have all confined unto this dark mist and compelled to worship according unto those popish Traditions held forth for publick worship in that time Further thou brings a heap of lyes out of Baxter a man at enmity against all goodness who hath written many lying Books against the living Truth for which the Lord God will call him and thee to account Thou sets down some of that which thou calls our Principles in the 16th page How that we deny all Officers in a Common-wealth and how we deny all Relation as Brother and Sister Magistrate Master Father Mother Son and Daughter Husband and Wife and that Husband and Wife should part asunder and that all things should be common All these things shall turn upon thy own head and now to the light in thy Conscience I speak which thou despisest whether thou hast not wilfully wronged us and I require of thee according to thy promise to make these things good but I believe thy proof is out of our Adversaries Books Baxters and the Priests of New-Castle which things have been answered and their lyes turned upon their own heads In the 17th page thou hast gathered some words and Sentences out of our Books many of them are so evident and manifest truth to all that are come to a good understanding that they need no vindication for they will vindicate themselves and have an evident witness in every ones Conscience that believes so far as thou hast truely transcribed them and many of those doctrines and practices which thou hast set down as errours the Scripture will bear witness too and the example of the Saints Evidence and the judicious will receive with gladness of heart and by it thy envious Spirit will be made manifest to all where thy lying story shall come In thy 30th page thy lips being accustomed to utter forth lyes and deceit thou proceeds and sayes That the Quakers say that a man is Justified by the merit of good works and inherent Righteousness and how that we hold the real Corporal presence of Christ in many places at once and overthrows the Articles of Christs humanity and further thou saist That Christ is Corporally in Heaven But for proof I expect none from thee for thou speaks as though thy tongue were thy own and I charge thee to instance where in all our writings we have said that a man is Justified by inherent Righteousness or where thou finds real Corporal presence or where it is written in the Scripture that Christ is Corporally in Heaven Yet the man Christ is at the right hand of God from whence he shall appear to thy Judgement and Condemnation except thou repent and Christ Gods Righteousness must be revealed within by which the Saints are Justified In the 31 page thou tells of the Actions and Manners of the Quakers and thou sayes They will not put off their hats before the highest Authority and how they stood covered and thoued and theed the Chair-man and Members of Parliament to the great dishonour of the Authority of England as ever was admitted This showes that the Authority of England hath in times past been out of the Authority of God and in the same Authority which we find mentioned in the Scripture before whom the Prophets Christ and the Apostles were brought before though many of the Magistrates then were out of the power of God yet they did not reprehend them for want of hats or caps or bowings or saying thee or thou and it seems the Committee and Members of Parliament did 〈◊〉 it no dishonour though thou doth who art a busie body but fools loves to be medling Then thou proceeds on and sayes They will not Petition men 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 the greatest Power witness all their Addresses to the Protectors and also tells How a Quaker in Hartfordshire swore against them that pulled down the house where the Quakers met It is not consistent with them that are in the truth and in the power of God to come with fained Petitions full of flattery and deceit which answereth not Gods witness but rather the wrong part which would be courted flattered which holds under the Just neither can they who are in the truth make such fained complemental Addresses as the hireling Teachers from all quarters of the Nation did to the late Protectors who
