Clearly discovered in an answer to a book titled, Antichrist in man the Quakers idol: set forth by Joshua Miller, wherein he confesseth Antichrist to be in man, but denies the light of Christ within to be sufficient to reveal him, and to witness Christ to be the onely means to salvation, he cals an error, if not damnable. With much more such confused stuffe, discovered for the sake of the simple who are led blind, with such blind guides, to their destruction: that such as will may beware and turn to the Lord, that with his Spirit of truth they may be guided into all truth, and out of this great deceit and enmity, wherein they are led and knows not.

Antichrist in Man Christs Enemy JOSHVA MILLER HAth not thy Brethren the Men of darkness sufficiently shewed their blindness and envy concerning the appearance of Christ but thou art forced to reveal what is in thee of the same nature and therefore thou brings out this superfluous thing as thou cals it to shew thy self to whom thou art joyned and for whom thou art labouring in all this mudd against the pure light of Christ his Spirit and Word within which the Father of Lights hath given for a Covenant of Light to lead and guide into all truth which the Devil and his Ministers would deny and set the Letter in his stead and the man of sin without the Spirit and Light of Christ to give his meanings thereof that so by the Letter he may uphold his idolatrous false worships he hath been setting up ever since the times of popery and which with his carnal spirit he hath been changing from one thing to another but all without the Light and Spirit that never changeth and so out of both form and power of the Saints life declared in Scripture which idolatry can never be discovered or destroyed out of the hearts of people where it hath been so long time rooted any other way than by the Light and Spirit of Christ which is a thing the Devil with all his power is now set against mustering up all his servants in all parts of the Nation whom for many years he hath fed with the glory riches and pleasures of this present world that in the day of his straits even the appearance of the Heir they might all stoutly defend his Kingdom of darkness in the heart of Man against the light of Christ which the Father hath given to lighten every man that cometh into the world and indeed his Army is very faithful to him and at his call are ready to arise though to their confusion with such stuffe as they have from all parts of the Nations with lyes and slanders clubs and stones persecution and imprisonments hypocrisie and feigned humility and much the like such Weapons as he hath laid up in their hearts and hath furnished his house with all this while the Heir hath been away and God not known in his Temple and so he hath kept the house in peace And now the Lamb is appearing to enlighten the heart and to reveal him that is set and exalted in the Temple of God above all that is called God now is the Beast rowsed on his seat and the false Prophet is joyned with him and the house of his Armoury is opened and now behold the noise of his Armour clashing one against another and the mouth of the pit being opened out comes such a smoak that the Locusts cannot see one another wherefore a noise of confusion is heard amongst you sometimes confessing sometimes denying the Light but all against it to devour it with open mouth and this of thine hath in it as much envy as the most but as little of truth and light as any and indeed such a lump of confusion and envy and scornful light words unto the sober minded it may serve to discover the Author without an answer and by what spirit he is acted so that much I shall not need to write thereto onely lay open some of thy lies slanders and deceitful doctrine whereby thou would exclude Christ and the Spirit under a pretence of worshipping him which is the thing moving me to write otherwise as to all thy lies cast upon our persons I might have been in silence knowing what we are to look for at the hands of the worlds teachers And in the front of thy book thou shews thy begettings and thy birth and begins with a lie calling Antichrist in Man the Quakers Idol which is false for though we see Antichrist in thee and the rest of thy brood so exalted that he would be worshipped yet we dare not make an Idol of him nor worship him therefore are we hated by you in whom he is and we know Antichrist is in every Man until he be revealed by the light of Christ within where he is that is to be revealed for fear of which it is that his Ministers to whom he is an Idol would keep people seeking without lest he should be seen within the heart where he is Hast not thou confessed this against thy Masters Kingdom who sayes he is in Man but would set people to a light without to seek him but now that thou hast confessed him in Man tell me if there be any other thing that can reveal him but the light of Christ within where he is that is to be revealed which if so then let thy work in opposing that light within declare whose Minister thou art and thus instead of discovering our wayes and opinions thou hast laid open thy self and work thou hast in hand and for the confutations thou tels on they will appear further when the Light beholds them Thy work thou directs to all that beleives salvation and justification for all their sins past present and to come by what Christ hath done in his own person I say this faith sutes thy work for didst thou look to account for thy wickedness thou durst not have added such a heap of lies and blasphemies against God his Light and Spirit as thou hast done in thy book and thou hast many brethren with thee in that ranting opinion that matters not much what you do hereupon But who tels you all your sins are pardoned that are yet to come Christ saith not so who saith you shall account at the Mat. 12 36 37. day of judgement yea for every idle word and by thy words thou shalt be justified and by thy words condemned Rom. 2. and every one shall at that day receive according

to their deeds done in the body whether they be good or evil then James 2. wilt thou and thy brethren see your large faith that is so far before your works will be too large to enter into the strait gate and further I tell thee and thy companions in this new found faith that you herein beleive you know not what who beleive your sin is pardoned before it is committed who neither knows what sin you have to commit when or whether ever it shall be pardoned nor ever Creature shall until he hath repented and forsaken his sin but thou hast left no place for repentance whose sin as thou conceitest is pardoned before it be committed but the Scripture knows no such presumption who saith if we sin wilfully after we have the knowledge of the truth there remains no more sacrifice for sin though there be a conceit of such a faith as thine before the sin be committed and that salvation and faith that saves not from sin is none of Christs Math. 1. 15. Thou sets a work against the Quakers but one thing seems to be in thy way viz. the power of God in them that leads them out against sin and this pearl the swine would snuftle away and then begin the more to rend And thou sayes a mighty power goes along with the Turk and with the Devil and the Angels of Light are holy and without sin yet they may be Devils for all that To which I say had thou said no more thou had manifested thy envy against holiness and what thou knowest of it was there ever Devils holy and without sin such a Devil was Christ in the eyes of the Hirelings thy Fathers who never loved holiness farther than to talk on for gain and worldly glory but he that walks in it is a Devil in your account and ever was for that 's it most in your way it most crossing your lusts and thou would make people beleive that the Devil teaches to be strict against sin and to walk honest and devout toward Man I say the Devil is not devided against himself but should he teach that practise he should exceed his Ministers who have lost all strictness as to sin and honesty as to man and are pleading against it As thou who art pleading against perfection and freedom from sin as in thy seventh page which freedom and the end of Christ being manifest in the flesh to set free from sin and destroy the works of the Devil John 8. 34 35 36. 1 John 3. 8. but thou sayes from the guilt but not from the seed and act of sin and the end why Christ at his ascention gave gifts and sent out his ministry was for presenting every man perfect and this thou denies also ●p●●s 4. 10 11 12 13. Col. 1. 18 19. which if the Devil should teach his doctrine was much better than thine though h● preach Christ of envy nor did ever any of Christs Ministers own or preach thy faith and doctrine which is against perfection and freedom from sin but ever beleived it and pressed after it and preached it And thou sayes a man may be impowred to leave some sins for fear of Hell Onely I say of the two it is safer to leave sin for fear of Hell then live in it under a pretence of being pardoned before it be commited but thou had loth loose thy kingdom Thou tels of the Quakers imitating the Papists in rising oft in the night to pray and other lies thou adds to it and thou sayes truly God leads not to this for he teaches no man by good works to purchase Heaven To which I say Is it a sin to pray because the Papists pray whom did David imitate therein and did he and the rest of the Saints that which God did not teach That God which so teaches thou knows not and of that practise of so praying art thou and thy brood little guilty you get more by praying in the Idols Temple then by praying in the night so praying in the night is become a reproach to us from thee and farther thou countest us worse than prophane people herein O shameless Men how are the hidden things of Esau found out who have been preaching against sin in words and for praying alwayes and now are forced to own your hearts love openly and chuse prophane before them and many words thou uses to prove that Satan may act Men to some good works and lead out of some evil in all which thou dost no more but prove thy self worse than the Devil who art using thy endeavours to plead against all good And whereas thou sayest that we deny any Minister or Ordinances since the dayes of the Apostles That is false we onely deny all you who are descended from the Pope and are gone out from the true worship that was in the dayes of the Apostles both in form and power in every particular and have set up your own imaginations instead thereof so that the Scripture will not own one particular of your worship without wresting as it is by you performed in your Idol Temple wherefore we must either deny you or the Scripture and the Saints practise therein recorded And thou goes on in thy blrasphemy against the Light denying that the light which God hath given to every man that comes into the world is sufficient to salvation without the help of any other means or discovery And in thy thirteenth page thou sayest it is an error if not damnable to affirm that the light which Christ gives to all is sufficient without any other meanes or discovery And in thy sixth page thou sayes then certainly this salvation by the light in us is cursed so by thy doctrine neither the light of God nor the light of Christ is sufficient And to deny the light of Christ and 〈◊〉 that place John 1. 9. which saith this is the true light which lighteth every one that comes into the world Thou sayest Christ gives light to no man under that name but to him that beleives So by thy doctrine John bears witness unto that light which was the true light that all Men through him might beleive but it was not in the Name of Christ I say what shifts are the builders put to to deny the Corner Stone now at his appearing did not John bear witness to the Name of Christ was not that Word John speaks on the same that became flesh and this thou sayes is not Christ or did he bear witness to any other see the words of Christ John 5. 33. where Christ owns Johns Testimony to be concerning himself whom John saith is the true light that lighteth every one that comes into the world But saith thou he enlightens none in that Name but beleivers I say who must enlighten the rest if not Christ seeing thou hast denyed the light of God before Was there ever such a sottish peice Is there any light to beleivers or unbeleivers but in Christ Is
