Hand or to the Left or that Grace that brings Salvation and in order to it it teaches to deny Ungodliness and Worldly Lust and to live soberly in this present World or lastly We mean by it that Great Mystery reserved for the Gentiles which is Christ within the Hope of Glory Col. 1 26 27. yet not in opposition to his being glorified in the Heavens as he is the Man Christ or Heavenly Man or Advocate Intercessor and Mediator with God for us this is what we understand by that Principle of the Light within And whoever thinks to get Heaven or Happiness another way I wish them Repentance and Amendment of Life being assured that there is not another Name or Power whereby Men can be saved besides the Name of Jesus who is the true Light that enlightens every Man that comes into the World And though many there be that do not own him as he is believed in and confessed to by us yet nevertheless are by him in some degree enlightned in whom if they believe and live up to what they know to be their Duty to God and their Neighbour the Lord will without doubt accept of their Sincerity though they are labouring under the Prejudice of Tradition and Education And now Reader if I have not defended the Quakers from this Hammerers Charge and proved him the Impostor I must confess I have neither understood him nor my self neither as well as I have done my endeavour to remove those Prejudices many People have entertained against us which they have received one from another not knowing us as we are nor will they give themselves the opportunity of knowing us from our selves but without hearing or examining if Mr. such a one or such a one the Minister say so or so we are at once Condemned for Hereticks and then upon pain of Excommunication or something else the People must not so much as Discourse with us For is there among any sort of profest Christians save the Priests Friars c. a greater degree of Dominion and Rule over the Souls and Consciences as well as Purses of the People than is now reigning among our Presbyterians And yet who but they for exclaiming against the Hierarchy of the Bishops But to avoid Reflections as much as may be I shall conclude with true desires for his and all the rest of our Causless Enemies their Repentance to Amendment of Life that the Mercy and Favour of God to the Remission of their Sins they may all Witness through Faith in the Lord Jesus Christ And for this Adversary I shall desire him if he thinks fit to write any Reply to this that he will do it under the Umbrage of some intelligent Person or other if he can get any that we may apply our selves to for Satisfaction for his Abuses or else let him conclude that if he be not Reply'd to again it s not because his Arguments are thought unanswerable or that we decline it from any Consciousness of the Weakness of our Cause but because it s not worth while to detect him since the Rhetorick of Bedlam and his Welsh Letter with a deal more as from page 43 to 46. and from 55 to 57. and from 83 to 88. are so much alike that it would be no Honour to any one to Reply to it nor Benefit for any to Read it though such as that makes up a great part of his Book And for his Wickedness therein as I have not called him The Devil 's Bloodhound c. though he insinuated I would yet I can in the Knowledge of our own Innocency say The Lord Rebuke him THE POSTSCRIPT SINCE the foregoing Answer was sent to the Press I observe this Day another Scurrilous Pamphlet is come forth by a Nameless Author Intituled The Spirit of Quakerism and the Danger of their Divine Revelation laid open in a Faithful Narrative of their Malicious Prosecution of Henry Windor and his Wife at Carlile Assizes By Henry Windor London Printed for John Harris 1696 In p. 17. At the end of the Narrative is Henry Windor again July 9. 96. I observe that H. W. owns the Narrative and for that reason is made Midwife to this Monster that shews its Teeth the Day of its Birth That Account of the Delusion of those s 〈…〉 Women mentioned in the Narrative I s●● long since in Manuscript though never w 〈…〉 those Aggravations as now it appears with and though 96. be the Date thereby to make the deeper Impression on the Ignorant and 〈◊〉 Amuse the Unwary Reader and to En●●●● the Multitude against Thousands of Innocent People called Quakers that know no more of it than the Child unborn yet 73. was the time this Narrative Commenced all which with what is yet behind shews the Malice Envy and Rage of our Adversaries who cannot think us fit to have a Being in the Land of the Living What should be the Reason of their Intolerable Rage at this time of Day when we have for so many Years given such undeniable proofs of our Peaceable and Inoffensive Conversation I cannot think unless this viz. since it hath pleased the Lord to favour us with Ease and Relief from those Long and Cruel Persecutions and Sufferings that did attend us for our Consciencious Dissent by the Particular and Extraordinary Indulgence the Government has extended to us for all which as we are highly sensible of the great Love and Favour of God to us therein so are we truly and humbly Thankful to the Government for the same and Hope Believe and Pray that in all things we may walk worthy of it and by no means abuse so great Mercy But this without Controversie has extreamly enraged our Adversaries who like Cain are Angry at our Acceptance But my desire is that none of these things may move any of us no not so much as to the Desire of Revenge yet Justice to our selves as Christians as well as Men will not admit of Silence I shall therefore examine this present Adversary Whether the Narrative be true or false I will not determine without doubt it may be partly both for I have heard of such a Story that Two Women did pretend they had a Dream or Vision that this H. W. had Committed such an Act but what of all this Did he ever hear that the Quakers Embarqued their Cause upon such a bottom Or that they owned or espoused the Imaginations of these Women Yes saith he page 23. Many Friends was Concerned in it Testified and Vindicated it at Carlile Assizes Oh heighth of Impudence and Falshood What did they Testifie and Vindicate Was it that these Women were in the right and that the Spirit they viz. the Quakers profest which was the Holy-Spirit was the very Spirit that Acted these Women in their Impeaching H. W surely no but they did not immediately disown them and their Spirit too What then Do it therefore follow that they must own them and it An Envious as well as Foolish
