A96406	The voice of wisdome, uttered forth against antichrists folly and deceits, and the freeness of Gods love to the creature, and the effects of his righteousnesse in his people truly discovered. ... and this is in answer to a book, falsly titled The Quakers folly made manifest to all men. Given forth by Tho. Danson, a priest at Sandwich in Kent ... / By a friend to them that regard true instruction, and a witness of Christs righteousnesse, George Whitehead.	Whitehead, George, 1636?-1723.	1659 (1659)	Wing W1972; ESTC R186533	21,823	56

words shall be thy burthen and thou hast here discovered what spirit thou art of who with thy multitude of words which darkens counsel and perverts the simple hast gone about to mannage deceit and those things which are to be repented of which are not of the truth and it is well if Repentance be not too late for thee as thou sayest but if thou hadst been in that Spirit which the righteous are led by thou wouldst have used fewer words and to more purpose and more seasonable then thou hast for in striving in thy will to outword men thou hast shewn thy self one of them whose lips the Lord will cut off whose tongue speaketh proud things who have said With our tongue we will prevail our lips are our own who is Lord over us Psal 12.3 4. And also in thy Narrative upon thy agreeing to dispute with us In a loose or disorderly Discourse which falsly thou hast charged us with which thou wast resolved to speak to us in as thou hast confessed That the Devil might be beat at his own weapon and outshot in his own bow c. Ans To which I answer Then its evident that thou hast taken up the Devils bow to shoot in hast shot in the Devils bow as hereafter appears was ever the like Did ever any of the Gospel-Ministers seek to out-shoot the Devil in his own bowe Nay The true Ministers made war against the Devil with the sword of the Spirit and with the weapons of God which were mighty through Christ to the casting down of strong holds and spiritual wickedness in high places 2 Cor. 10.4 Eph. 6.11 12. So they did not shoot in the Devils bow as this Priest hath done And truly it s no marvel that these Priests and their Hearers are so sinful as they are and plead so much for fin against perfection and freedome from sin in this life as they do seeing that the Priests are but shooting in the Devils bow yet whereby they can never slay the Devil nor cast down wickedness but still he being alive in them his work which is fin remains in them and they are in his work and while they shoot the Devils bow they shoot against the truth and against such as are in it as the wicked do who shoot their arrows even bitter words against the righteous And now omitting many absurdities and unsavory words impertinent matters in this said Tho. Danson the Priest his Book which are not worth the mentioning I shall in short Answer some of his Principles and Doctrines whereon the stress of his whole matter dependeth together with some lyes he hath shot out of Devils bow against us in laying down his own words in our names and answering his own words which he counts ours which we never spoke I. Concerning the Light of Christ THomas Danson the Priest saith The Lights mentioned Viz. Natural and Supernatural Light are two and though all have the one yet but few have the other Answ The Life of Christ is the light of men and that is not natural but spiritual he is the true light which inlightens every man that cometh into the World John 1.9 so if they be come into the World they are inlightned by Christ which light brings salvation to them that love it and condemnation to them that hate it and thou might as well count the life of Christ natural as count it so for it is the Life that was in Christ which lighteth every man in the World John 1.4 9. Tho. Danson And where thou hast charged R. Hubberthorn with saying That the true Light hath not come over and comprehended thee Answ That 's false he said no such thing for I was present and heard what he said for the Light hath comprehended thee but thou art not come into it nor hast comprehended it for darkness comprehendeth not the Light though the Light shineth in darkness John 1.5 Tho. Danson also hath charged us with consenting that the knowledge of the Gospel is vouchsafed by Christ to every man Answ No such thing did we consent to as that every man had the knowledge of the Gospel but that there were some in darkness and yet that which might be known of God was manifest in them Rom. 1.19 So their ignorance of the Gospel doth not argue that they had not that Light in them that was able to bring them to know the Gospel which is the power of God but rather that they disobeyed the Light of God in them and liked not to retain God in their knowledge Rom. 1.28 And as for that of Psal 147.19 20. He sheweth his word unto Jacob his Statutes and Judgments unto Israel he hath not dealt so with any nation and as for his judgements they have not known them So then this makes for what I said for that may be shewn or given to people which they know not and then the light of Christ which was before these statutes and judgements were given to Israel is given to many who know not the Mystery of it because they abide not in the paths of it Job 24.13 And this Priest in saying That by the words statutes and judgements are meant the supernatural light or knowledge of the Gospel here he hath confuted himself for if these statutes and judgements were the knowledge of the Gospel why did Israel not know them who had them And if these Statutes and Judgements recorded in the Scriptures which Israel had which many others had not were the knowledge of the Gospel then he might as well say That the Scribes and Pharisees who had them and read these these Statutes in the Scriptures had the knowledge of the Gospel when as on the contrary they knew not Christ nor the Gospel which is but one though his Kingdome was in them and him hath God afforded a light to the Nations and an Ensign to the people and the Nations of them that are saved shall walk in his light both of Jews and Gentiles who are inlightned by him without exception Isai 42.6 and 49.6 Rev. 21.24 Tho. Danson saith As for that Scripture Rom. 2.15 t is spoken of the natural light for t is opposed to the knowledge of the Jewes and the words are not the Law but the works or effects of the Law written in their hearts Answ Nay that is false t is spoken of the work of the Law which Law was written in the Gentiles hearts and this Law was spiritual and not a natural Light as this Priest saith and the nature by which these Gentiles did those things contained in the Law was according to the Law here 's no natural Light spoken of in that Scripture Rom. 2.15 which makes for us that they that were not Jewes but Gentiles also had the Law of God which is spiritual written in their hearts whether they were excused or accused Tho. Danson Christ was not to be a Light to them till his coming in the flesh Answ What then was
