A65833	The accuser of our brethren cast down in righteous judgment against that spirit of hellish jealousie vented in a great confused book, falsly entituled, The Christian-Quaker distinguished from the apostate and innovator, in five parts ; the fallacy and force whereof being herein clearly detected & justly repelled.	Whitehead, George, 1636?-1723.	1681 (1681)	Wing W1887; ESTC R19917	128,311	327

and Hypocrisie to profess our selves Members thereof Dare he say that to believe in God as the true Church believes is Unsound Doctrine But be it noted how he hath contradicted himself in confessing to that which he hath made a Section against as before see his Third Part pag. 74. his words are these viz. I confess the true Church is in the true Faith and every Member thereof is in some Measure at least of the same Faith that all the Elect of God are of so that it may in Truth be said every Member of the Church doth in some Measure believe as the rest of the Members do Behold here he hath granted the matter which he hath made so much ado against in his 4th Section of his 1st Part aforesaid Thus one while he Opposeth another while he Grants the Thing Opposed one while he Condemns another while Retracts but that we do not impute to his Ingenuity but to his Enmity Inadvertency and Discomposedness and Prolixity in his writing Disaffect XII W. R. first part pag. 9. He frames the Objection viz. 'T is true Friends in the beginning were turned to the Light in their own Consciences as their Guide but when it pleased the Lord to gather so great a number into the Knowledge and Belief of the Truth as were in few Years gathered then the Heavenly Motion came upon G. F. as the Lord 's Anointed and Chosen having the care of the Churches as being the great Apostle of Christ Jesus and as one whom the Lord had ordained to be in that place amongst the Children of Light in this our day as Moses was amongst the Children of Israel in his day to set forth Methods and Forms of Church-Government and to establish Monethly and Quarterly-Meetings of Men and of Women distinct from Men c. Observe Here he has heaped up divers matters to make up this Objection as one scraping up and devising what he can to render us odious never was any such intire Objection made by any real Quaker he has framed it much like an open Adversary and then deduceth his own Positions and Inferences to render Friends who are for outward Order and Methods in the Church not only weak and silly in their Arguing but Apostates from the Light in their Consciences to which they were turned in the beginning The design of this whole Objection forged by him is to render us a People departed from the Light and Law of Christ within to set up Man and Men's Precepts instead thereof which is wicked and scornful tending also to render the very Profession of the heavenly Motion Contemptible which heavenly Motion in opposition to his Contempt and Scorn we affirm came not only on G. F. but also on many other faithful Brethren for due Methods and Order as to Church-Government no wayes repugnant to the Light of Christ within And for G. F. though an Apostle and Servant of Christ yet to be in this our Gospel day in that very place amongst the Children of Light as Moses was amongst the Children of Israel in his day This Comparison we own not nor does G. F. own it for it is to render the Gospel day of Christ no brighter than Moses's Day under the Law and the Children of Light in this Gospel Day as in no further Dispensation than the Children of Israel under the Law but such Doctrine we utterly disown neither does G. F. own the Comparison but as a faithfull Servant of Christ his Labour was and is to turn People to Christ his Light and Spirit in them neither he nor we do own any Sect Masters nor making of Sects among us but seek to bring all to the Universal Spirit and Unity and Bond of Peace in Christ Jesus and we all as Servants of Christ and Sufferers for his Name and Testimony and do own the Dispensation of Christ as far excelling that of Moses as being more bright inward and spiritual for thus far only the Comparison in Scripture is between Moses and Christ Heb. 3. 1 2 3. Consider the Apostle and High-Priest of our Profession Christ Jesus who was faithful to him that appointed him as also Moses was faithfull in all his House for this man was counted of more Glory than Moses inasmuch as he who buildeth the House hath more honour than the House and Moses was faithfull in all his House as a Servant but Christ as a Son over his own House see vers 4 5 6. But farther observe our Adversaries Jealousie in this Case namely in his 4th Part pag. 83 84. W. R. in his Letter to G. F. dated Bristol the 27th of the 1st Moneth 1677. Among other things this Jealousie enters me viz. That thou lookest upon thy self that man at least in whom the Son of God hath appeared to give forth his Law and to be recorded as his Law under the Dispensation of the Gospel even as Moses was the giver forth of the Law in that day if this be so c. And in his Margenal Note on the same passage he hath these words viz. The Reader may take notice that G. F. in his Letter on the 14th of the 11th Moneth 1676. hints at something written by me to him thus And thou meaning my self sayest that there is a Spirit risen at this day that gives many occasion to be Jealous that thou meaning G. F. art looked upon by some AS THAT Prophet which Moses testified of that God would raise up c. And thou sayst Christ is that Prophet that is to be heard c. and he is the only Lawgiver and no outward man Observe We testifie against W. R's Jealousie and the Jealousie of those he represents against G. F. as tending to Persecution and that the Jealousie of his being looked upon by some as that Prophet which Moses testified of that God would raise up viz. Christ Jesus is not only in it self a Jealousie tending to Cruelty and Persecution but a Jealousie that proceeds from Enmity and Darkness and not only so but this Jealousie is contradicted by W. R. his own Jealousie that has entred him viz. of G. F's looking upon himself that Man IN whom the Son of God hath appeared and not only so but confesseth that G. F. thus answers viz. Then is not this Prophet meaning Christ to be in man to give forth his Law c And what I am I am by the Grace and Love of God c. 4th part pag. 83 84. Marg. Note Mark how W. R. has gone about to accuse and bespatter G. F. and others with his own and others Jealousies though inconsistent as well as he shews himself Impertinent and Envious in his writing against the Servants of Christ who confess Christ to be in Man and not themselves to be Christ. Disaffect XIII W. R. 1st part pag. 4.
