SOME OF THE PRINCIPLES OF THE QUAKERS Scornfully so called by Men VINDICATED And proved sound and true and according to the SCRIPTURES In opposition to the false Charges and lying Reports given forth against the Truth in two printed Books put forth by one Philip Taverner a supposed Minister of the Gospel in Middlesex near Vxbridge And hereby Truth is manifest and discovered and the Controversie determined by the judgement of Truth between Philip Taverner aforesaid the Accuser and Edw. Burrough Defendant of the Truth who contends for the Faith of the Gospel and for the Word of God in the Heart against all such Gain-sayers as have the form of Godliness but denies the Power and many such are in this Age And this is given forth for the satisfaction of all that desires to know the Truth of the Controversie between them aforesaid By Edw. Burrough LONDON Printed in the Year 1658. Some of the Principles of the QVAKERS scornfully so called by men vindicated and proved sound and true and according to the Scriptures In opposition to the false Charges and lying reports given forth against the Truth in two printed Books put forth by one Philip Taverner a supposed Minister of the Gospel in Middlesex near Vxbridge WHereas Philip Taverner one of Truths Opposers whether through ignorance or subtilty I now determine not hath again appeared against me and Truth in Print as in vindication of himself and his former work who about four months ago gave a false relation of a Dispute but instead of mending the matter he hath made his own cause the more vile as may appear to such who takes a perfect view of the proceedings from the beginning to the end thereof row the intent of this my Reply is to clear the Truth further and to take off h●s false aspersions which he hath cast upon my innocent words in my former Book in answer to his first And as for the rest of his Book which hath no relation to mine nor to the Dispute I shall pass it by The Title of my first Book was Something of Truth made manifest c. To which saist thou a plausible title to cover a railing and bitter Spirit under that it may walk in the world less suspected c. Reply My words are truth for in that book truth was made manifest to many in relation to the former dispute to the satisfaction of many and as for rayling and bitterness of spirit I do deny only I am zealous for the Lords truth to speak plainly by reproving them that gain-say it and to that of God in every mans conscience do I desire to be manifest and seeks not by flattering words to cover evil that I may not be suspected though thou seem falsly to say it but let all my enemies suspect what they will for of the Lord do I seek to stand approved and not of man for the Jew inward hath no praise of man but of God and as for rayling language and bitter words against thee I have used none but speaks the truth in plainness The next thing thou seems to stumble at is whereas I said I supposed thou hadst Ambitiously stiled thy selfe Mr. Phillip Taverner and thou now seeks to hide thy self from the force of my words to the sight of the world which appears a little to strike upon thee with some shame And thou saist thou did not prefix Mr. before thy name but the Stationer did it who saist thou was pleased to honour the man with that title c. Reply Now instead of clearing himself he hath shewed more guilt of ambition then before and my words were I supposed and not an absolute charge as he saith and had not I good reason to suppose it that it was his ambition being also contrary to the express command of Christ Mat 23. And indeed I hardly ever read any subscription like to it by the greatest and noblest of men as men account and it is a thing far above humility and not beseeming any man much less one that professes himself to be a Minister of Christ ●o subscribe himself or be with his consent Mr. such an one but he seems to cover himself from ambition because saith he he did it not himself but another I say I shall not charge him here with falsehood but I am sure it is very unusual for any man to add any thing to another mans book without his knowledg I never knew it done by any Stationer who hath had some knowledg of their wayes but yet he acknowledges it was done in honour to him to subscribe him Master and here he hath Justified the thing and shewed that he is indeed guilty of ambition who confesseth that it is an honour to him to be subscribed Mr. by another for he saith the man that did it honoured him with that title and here men may take notice what honour this my adversary looks after even the honor that Christ forbids who saith to his ministers be not ye called of men masters but the man hath honoured Phil. Taverner with titling him Mr. as he saith The next thing treated proves also that he is ambitious for he pleads much the lawfulness of titles of civil respects as he calls it And this is all to justifie the title of master to himself and thereupon hath wrested divers scr●ptures what though the unbeleeving Greeks used the word Master or Sir John 12. which he hath quoted is this an example sufficient for Christians to break the command of Christ Mat. 23.10 neither are any other Scriptures a warrant for any man so to do though for a whole page he treats only as for the lawfulness of such titles yet in the end would shut guilt from his own door that he affects not titles For he saith this he speaks not that he would have it so done to him and this his seeming justifying himself proves himself guilty knowing that he had given truly occasion for people to judg he would have it so and in the end would blind the minds of the simple with words of seeming humility that he would not have it so done to him as if he cared not for it And whereas I said in my first that I am without any prejudice towards the man viz. P. T. he saith I must give him leave to question it first from my rayling words against him secondly from my scornful pitty expressed c. saith he Reply I have no prejudice against him God is my witness and he may question what he will who is in the unb●lief for its manifest by his former that he quest●ons where he hath no just occasion shewing much prejudice in himself for he said in his first relation commenting upon some of my words if by such words I meant so then it was truth but if I meant so then it was false and was not this a perfect sign of prejudice in him who had not just occasion to except against the words as they lay nor could
