The inward judgings and terrours by
the light Christ within and that in this world The Writings when spoken diminishingly The Scriptures or written Word I have the witness of my Conscience that I have not in this Key in any measure abused or wronged the Quakers but have declared what in their Writings and verbal Converse I have found to be true and could have proved by particular instances but for being too large And for that they who weigh what is written in the body of the Book may find satisfaction in the most if not all of them THE CONCLVSION I Have not in this Treatise dealt with the more minute and light Errors and Absurdities of the Quakers because they would amount to too large a Volume for this Subject and I love not to tythe Mint Annis and Cummin where weightier matters call forth my thoughts Where the Lord shall make what hath been written convincing and effectual those Superstructures and Appendices of the conceit of Perfection denying the sober use of civil Ceremonies unnecessary scrupling at modest Ornaments Pedantick Words Phrases and Gestures obstinate Jewish and Ceremonious respect to this or that place for Worship and a multitude more will quickly and easily dissolve of themselves I doubt not but all whose Judgments are not in Captivity to the silliest Errors will conclude with me that Quakerism is no Christianity yea Not consistent with Christianity being no more capable of dwelling together in one Breast than light and darkness in their absolute and supream Dominion I am perswaded that all who have honest meanings among the Quakers little think that in turning to Quakerism they turn Christianity out of Doors yet it is a truth a sad truth that calls for more serious notice than themselves or most others afford it who profess and that sincerely a love to Truth and Souls My greatest discouragement in writing this Treatise was from the sense of the Quakers being out of the reach of Scripture and Reason to almost or altogether a spiritual delirium Yet I was not without some encouragement from my hopes that the Lord would bless it to the informing and securing of many whose feet are yet out of their snare I have not a little been amazed to read in their Authors such Expressions as prompt us to devest our selves of being men that we may be Christians As if Rational and Spiritual God and the Scriptures Understanding and Christianity were mortal foes I intended a Chapter by it self to demonstrate Quakerism to be no Christianity from its excluding right Reason any thing called Reason from having to do in the search after Christianity its choice Defence or Approbation I care not if I collect a few for my Readers satisfaction Quest How do you manifest this inward foundation which you say is Christ to be the true and only foundation which God hath laid Answ From the feeling we have of it by which we know that it is sure in us and from the sure and certain knowledge which we have of it in the feeling we manifest it from its own Nature and Being to its own Nature and Being You may here perceive what a reasonable Religion the Quakers is whose demonstration is nothing else but sense and feeling and this sense and feeling nothing is capable of but the very nature and being of this Foundation He proceeds further pag. 65. Quest And can none have true faith unto salvation and life Eternal but such as are of your Opinion Answ We are not in any Opinion but in the principle of Life by which we are saved and receives life and in this state we stand not in any Opinion but in a feeling of life and salvation for all opinions are in notions and apprehensions in which none feels the life and salvation in Christ but what they apprehend in the natural part unto that they give up their own belief and so●rrs from the life in themselves and neither believs unto salvation nor receives Eternal Life Smit● prim p. 61. I shall not trouble you with an explanation of these uncouth Phrases you may turn to the Key and resolve your selves Sure i●…is be the way to understand truths we may ca●hiere our understandings and judge the most ensual to have most of the Spirit Mr. Pen is much of the same mind He calls those disputing from the Scriptures Dry-cavilling letter-mongers Penington is a little ingenious when he saith in his Questions concerning Vnity pag. 4. Wherein confess my heart exceedingly despised them and cannot wonder that any wise man did or doth yet de●pise them Speaking of the way the Quakers have to get Proselytes being without rational demonstations This is far from the Apostes Doctrine and Practise who demonstrated by Reason that Jesus was the Christ who reasoned with Foelix and exhorts to be ready to give a ●eason of the hope that is in us to every one that ●●all ask us I expect some Replies to my Book agreeable to this irrational humour But I desire those who shall think fit to undertake an Answer that they would not play the Rats and knaw here and there a scrap leaving the grand designs and Demonstrations of it untouched I do assure them I am not arrived ●et in my own Opinion to such a perfection but I am willing to learn from even my Adversary although I must likewise acknowledge I am not very big with expectation from the Quakers power of convincing But if they shall instead of answering fill some sheets with personal reproaches and reflections which do not render the things asserted more or less true I bless God I am too much above them to be moved and have cast up my accounts of those costs before I began this building If they shall deny what I charge them with in my Book they must discard their Authors I quote or prove I give not the sense of their words I shall be glad of the former and I fear not the later I desire the Quakers from henceforth if they will maintain Moral honesty even such as many Heathens were possessed of that they would no more call themselves Christians until they fall under another Conversion for it is gross Hypocrisie and Cheating if not of themselves yet of others And although some of them have scorned my Prayers and told me they hated I should pray for them I shall love them with so much benevolence as to ●eg of God to convince them of the Truth by this or what means he pleaseth that they may ●ot only be loved of the truly good with goodwill but also delight but above all that they may glorifie God on Earth in a better way and enjoy God in Heaven to a greater blessedness than their Principles express I have done But let every ma● prove his own work and then shall he have rejoycing in himself alone and not in another FINIS Luk. 14. 23.
