A77227	The Quakers quaking principles examined and refuted in a briefe answer to some erroneous tenets held forth by James Naylor in his answers unto Mr Baxter, and some others that have publikely opposed that blacke spirit in the deluded Quakers. Wherein is also included a serious admonition, how wee ought to behave our selves towards the ministers of the gospell, in respect of communicating unto them; and for giving to the poore, so as the Gospell requires: and to beware of covetousnesse, and the effects thereof, least wee be left of God, and delivered up unto strong delusions, and a blasphemous spirit instead of the spirit of God. The heads of the whole discourse are also premised. / Written by Ellis Bradshavve.	Bradshaw, Ellis.	1656 (1656)	Wing B4147; Thomason E869_1; ESTC R207737	57,239	71

liar_n and_o by_o what_o spirit_n they_o be_v act_v and_o therefore_o their_o testimony_n will_v not_o serve_v to_o excuse_v our_o conscience_n before_o god_n 2._o and_o second_o let_v they_o not_o persuade_v we_o to_o desert_n the_o ordinance_n of_o god_n for_o unless_o we_o can_v think_v that_o the_o quaker_n be_v wise_a than_o the_o lord_n himself_o that_o appoint_v they_o we_o have_v no_o ground_n nor_o reason_n to_o believe_v they_o god_n never_o appoint_v any_o ordinance_n in_o vain_a but_o they_o be_v profitable_a if_o in_o the_o use_n thereof_o we_o wait_v for_o he_o and_o for_o his_o blessing_n upon_o they_o for_o the_o good_a of_o our_o soul_n he_o never_o fail_v they_o that_o wait_v for_o he_o and_o therefore_o if_o we_o do_v not_o find_v they_o so_o spiritual_a and_o so_o efficacious_a to_o we_o for_o the_o present_a as_o we_o do_v expect_v let_v we_o rather_o blame_v the_o hardness_n of_o our_o own_o heart_n than_o the_o ordinance_n of_o god_n or_o the_o minister_n of_o they_o or_o much_o more_o than_o the_o holy_a scripture_n which_o be_v a_o spiritual_a word_n and_o if_o they_o do_v not_o seem_v so_o to_o we_o it_o be_v doubtless_o because_o that_o we_o be_v yet_o carnal_a and_o to_o press_v we_o on_o to_o a_o full_a resolution_n so_o to_o do_v let_v we_o call_v to_o mind_v that_o parable_n concern_v dives_n and_o lazarus_n especial_o the_o say_n of_o abraham_n unto_o dives_n to_o wit_n they_o have_v moses_n and_o the_o prophet_n let_v they_o hear_v they_o see_v luke_n 16.29_o and_o note_v this_o if_o they_o hear_v not_o moses_n and_o the_o

lest_o he_o give_v we_o up_o unto_o strong_a delusion_n and_o to_o believe_v a_o lie_n and_o so_o prove_v ourselves_o fool_n as_o so_o it_o be_v but_o just_a if_o we_o think_v ourselves_o wise_a than_o he_o 3._o and_o three_o let_v we_o above_o all_o thing_n take_v heed_n that_o we_o be_v not_o provoke_v by_o these_o delusive_a doctrine_n of_o the_o quaker_n to_o reproach_n or_o speak_v evil_a either_o of_o the_o minister_n or_o the_o ordinance_n of_o god_n or_o of_o the_o holy_a scripture_n it_o be_v without_o question_n a_o very_a heinous_a sin_n in_o the_o sight_n of_o god_n so_o much_o as_o but_o to_o think_v evil_a of_o they_o but_o it_o be_v a_o high_a degree_n of_o blasphemy_n to_o speak_v evil_a of_o they_o in_o the_o least_o degree_n now_o speak_v evil_a of_o they_o be_v when_o we_o speak_v any_o thing_n tend_v in_o the_o least_o to_o the_o disparagement_n of_o they_o to_o cause_v they_o to_o be_v undervalue_v and_o disesteem_v as_o carnal_a and_o vain_a and_o useless_a or_o unprofitable_a etc._n etc._n and_o especial_o for_o the_o minister_n of_o god_n to_o call_v they_o priest_n of_o baal_n and_o hireling_n and_o wolf_n in_o sheep_n clothing_n and_o covetous_a and_o such_o like_a epithet_n as_o the_o quaker_n give_v in_o general_a unto_o all_o that_o be_v not_o of_o their_o way_n which_o can_v be_v account_v no_o less_o than_o speak_v evil_a of_o he_o that_o send_v they_o but_o least_o the_o quaker_n shall_v deceive_v we_o and_o make_v we_o believe_v they_o be_v such_o indeed_o consider_v with_o i_o first_o who_o they_o be_v and_o by_o what_o spirit_n they_o be_v guide_v and_o act_v that_o speak_v so_o of_o they_o as_o for_o that_o i_o shall_v only_o desire_v your_o serious_a consideration_n of_o this_o little_a treatise_n and_o the_o content_n thereof_o whether_o it_o be_v not_o full_o prove_v that_o they_o be_v act_v by_o a_o lie_a and_o malicious_a spirit_n to_o speak_v evil_a of_o the_o thing_n they_o know_v not_o and_o of_o many_o hundredth_n and_o thousand_o of_o minister_n and_o faithful_a christian_n which_o they_o never_o see_v nor_o hear_v of_o in_o their_o life_n either_o good_a or_o evil_a and_o yet_o they_o damn_v they_o all_o as_o eternal_o lose_v and_o for_o the_o pit_n of_o hell_n and_o let_v we_o not_o think_v it_o strange_a that_o satan_n shall_v threaten_v damnation_n to_o the_o elect_a of_o god_n for_o what_o in_o he_o lie_v he_o seek_v to_o destroy_v their_o faith_n above_o all_o other_o grace_n because_o when_o our_o faith_n fail_v we_o begin_v to_o sink_v and_o to_o decay_v in_o love_n and_o all_o other_o grace_n and_o so_o be_v lay_v open_a to_o his_o wile_n and_o stratagem_n and_o therefore_o when_o we_o hear_v the_o quaker_n call_v man_n damn_v and_o carnal_a which_o they_o never_o see_v before_o nor_o it_o may_v be_v never_o at_o all_o we_o may_v well_o imagine_v who_o spirit_n be_v in_o they_o for_o satan_n will_v glad_o persuade_v any_o man_n live_v on_o the_o face_n of_o the_o earth_n save_v only_o his_o delude_a instrument_n that_o he_o have_v assure_v to_o he_o already_o that_o there_o be_v no_o hope_n of_o salvation_n for_o such_o as_o they_o at_o all_o nor_o for_o any_o but_o such_o as_o be_v real_o act_v and_o guide_v by_o he_o and_o therefore_o know_v who_o they_o be_v that_o speak_v evil_a of_o they_o we_o have_v the_o more_o cause_n and_o ground_n to_o think_v well_o of_o they_o and_o to_o love_n and_o honour_v they_o but_o it_o will_v be_v needful_a to_o answer_v some_o objection_n whereby_o they_o delude_v so_o many_o unstable_a soul_n to_o wit_n 1._o first_o it_o may_v be_v object_v because_o it_o be_v true_a and_o well_o know_v that_o some_o minister_n be_v carnal_a and_o worldly_a mind_v and_o covetous_a and_o therefore_o to_o maintain_v such_o be_v a_o sin_n 1._o i_o answer_v first_o that_o because_o of_o some_o we_o must_v not_o condemn_v all_o 2._o second_o we_o ought_v not_o to_o be_v uncharitable_a in_o judgeing_a or_o censure_v any_o now_o it_o be_v beyond_o the_o rule_n of_o charity_n to_o judge_v or_o censure_v further_o than_o we_o certain_o know_v and_o it_o be_v a_o great_a sign_n of_o malignity_n against_o all_o if_o we_o be_v so_o apt_a to_o censure_v any_o further_a than_o we_o know_v 3._o three_o we_o ought_v not_o to_o judge_v according_a to_o appearance_n but_o righteous_a judgement_n for_o we_o may_v see_v fail_n and_o humane_a frailty_n in_o the_o best_a as_o so_o there_o be_v also_o in_o the_o most_o of_o the_o prophet_n and_o apostle_n and_o holy_a man_n of_o god_n that_o we_o read_v of_o in_o scripture_n and_o therefore_o if_o we_o do_v not_o find_v they_o in_o a_o way_n of_o wickedness_n let_v we_o take_v heed_n of_o censure_v they_o lest_o we_o condemn_v the_o generation_n of_o god_n child_n as_o david_n have_v like_a to_o have_v do_v and_o therefore_o if_o we_o do_v not_o find_v in_o they_o any_o way_n of_o wickedness_n and_o know_v it_o for_o certain_a let_v we_o judge_v and_o hope_v the_o best_a and_o forbear_v censure_v 2_o object_n second_o it_o will_v be_v object_v that_o though_o we_o can_v clear_o condemn_v they_o for_o any_o way_n of_o wickedness_n yet_o if_o we_o know_v they_o not_o certain_o to_o be_v godly_a and_o faithful_a minister_n such_o as_o be_v send_v of_o god_n how_o can_v we_o so_o freel_v communicare_fw-la unto_o they_o as_o be_v require_v of_o we_o and_o as_o we_o ought_v in_o case_n when_o we_o know_v they_o such_o answ_n i_o answer_v that_o if_o we_o be_v godly_a and_o faithful_a ourselves_o we_o shall_v doubtless_o know_v they_o by_o their_o fruit_n whether_o they_o be_v such_o or_o no_o for_o so_o christ_n have_v promise_v you_o shall_v know_v they_o by_o their_o fruit_n but_o in_o case_n we_o be_v be_v not_o able_a to_o judge_v and_o resolve_v ourselves_o whether_o they_o be_v so_o or_o no_o then_o let_v we_o communicate_v free_o and_o liberal_o unto_o they_o in_o regard_n they_o be_v in_o place_n as_o such_o appoint_a to_o be_v our_o teacher_n through_o the_o providence_n of_o god_n and_o be_v the_o best_a we_o have_v and_o above_o all_o thing_n beware_v of_o covetousness_n in_o this_o respect_n for_o if_o that_o sway_n we_o it_o will_v make_v every_o little_a fault_n a_o excuse_n to_o hinder_v we_o from_o communication_n and_o therefore_o let_v we_o
