A65858	The contemned Quaker and his Christian religion defended against envy & forgery in answer to two abusive invective pamphlets, the one stiled Antichrist in spirit unmasked, the other Railings and slanders detected, promoted by some persons commonly called Anabaptists at Deptford in Kent who have unwarily begun the contest.

of proving the Charge That G. F. takes the Name to himself he alledges That G. F. is so charged in the Lancaster Petition G. F. is so charged with taking to himself the Name of the Eternal Judge of Quick and Dead Though here E. P. misses again He is there charged That he professeth himself to be the Eternal Judge of the World And who did so charge him But his Persecuting Adversaries in Lancashire whose Charge he denies in the very Title of his Answer thereunto as well as in the Matter viz. The Answer of George Fox to the Matters falsly charged upon him by the Petition and Scedule aforesaid Now Edward Paye mayest thou not be ashamed to make that thy positive Charge to Defame a Person which thou hast but upon Trust from his Adversaries without taking notice of his Defence Was this Justice or any Judicial Course of Passing Judgment before both Parties are heard thinkest thou It seems thou art as Censorious as Credulous to defame others And how knowest thou the Lancaster Petitioners were Men of Credit and Repute that thou shouldest have more Reason to believe the Affirmative of so many than G. F 's Negative And why wast thou so positive in thy Charge as if thou hadst spoken ex certa scientia when now thou art put to it to plead the Credit of thy Authors and for the Reason of thy Belief of their Defamation Now who can think sayest thou that such a Number of Men should agree together in Charging G. Fox with a Falshood Although it is well known that 't is no New nor strange Thing for False Witnesses to arise and joyn together against the Innocent as they did against the Prophets against Christ and his Servants See Psal. 27.12 Matt. 26.60 Act. 6.13 And we have sufficient Instance thereof at Hand How apparent is it that Edward Paye and his Brother William Alcott c. and those that have approved of the Writing and Publication of E. P's Malicious Book stiled Antichrist in Spirit have agreed together as False Witnesses against us in their manifold notorious and gross Falshoods to Defame the People called Quakers That the Quakers do not own the Kingly Office of Christ that Dyed at Jerusalem no more no nor so much neither as the Kingly Office of G. Fox pag. 47 48. We utterly deny this Charge as contrary to our very Intentions and professed Principle The Matter is farther examined hereafter That they deny the Place where Christ our Highpriest is entred which is the Heavens Heb. 4.14 The Quakers deny Christ to be entred into the Glorious Heavens above p. 49. This is a notorious Falshood detected elswhere They deny the Blood of the Sacrifice Christ our High Priest offered upon the Cross and scornful Contempt they have cast upon it p. 50. The Lord who knows the contrary rebuke this Envious Lying Spirit How can they deny the Blood when they have owned it to be a principal Part of that Sacrifice offered for an Attonement The Quakers cannot believe the Priestly or Mediatory Office of Christ because they have no need of a Mediator If they are Perfect c. what need have they of the Mediatory Office of Christ p. 51. This Charge is falsly deduced for our sincerely believing a Perfection without Sin attainable by the Power of Christ in this Life this cannot oppose Christ's Mediatory Office 1. Because 't is by him that we attain unto that Perfection 2. 'T is by him that we must be kept in it 3. It is through him that we enjoy Life Union and Peace with God and receive all our Spiritual Blessings In Christ Jesus See Parnel 's Shield of Truth p. 12. where he calls Water-Baptism a Formal imitation and Invention of Men and so a meer Delusion p. 59. No He does not call Water Baptism so but sprinkling Infants for in the Place cited he saith I received Water upon my Face as my Parents told me which they called Baptism So that J. P. does not call it Baptism no more did the Baptists heretofore Smith's Primmer p. 39. Thy Baptism Bread and Wine rose from the Pope's Invention p. 59. Again the Charge is made far worse in E. P's recital of it viz. Thy Bread and Wine in the Lord's Supper are the Pope's Invention See how barefacedly they can lye against the Truth p. 71. I find William Smith wronged in both these Charges and that very grossly in being charged for writing That Bread and Wine in the Lord's Supper are the Pope's Invention This is a notorious Forgery for what William Smith renders the Pope's Invention was Sprinkling Water in a Child's Face making the Sign of the Cross in it's Forehead Godfathers and Godmothers to undertake for it Bread and Wine so used and received i.e. by a Sort of Priests and People as the Body and Blood of Christ which they tell them is Broken and shed for them and did not these rise from the Pope's Invention trow ye In opposition to our Belief and Profession of Christ's Merits and Work for the Salvation of Man our Envious Adversaries endeavour to fasten some strange Inconsistencies upon us or Absurdities as I may call them as perversly Stated and Construed by them quite contrary to our said Profession and to insinuate that our Belief of Redemption and Salvation by Christ is neither Redemption of Body nor Soul but only of a lost God and Christ p. 41 42. which are very Foul and Notorious Perversions and Falshoods One Instance E.P. gives is against G.F. about the Soul that it is part of God without Beginning or End and then it needs no Redemption for God did not send his Son to Redeem himself p. 41. This gross Perversion was Thomas Hicks's and now taken upon Credit by these too credulous Anabaptists E. P. W. A. c. But did G. F. say That the Soul of the Creature Man was part of God or of his being without Beginning or End No sure but that Divine Breath or Spirit which God Breathed into Man whereby Man became a Living Soul Wherein is a plain Distinction between that Divine Breath or Spirit of God and the Creature Man or his created Soul as may be seen more at large in G. F's Great Mystery quoted where he speaks of the Soul of Man being in Death in Transgression so Man's Spirit there not Sanctified and declares Christ the Bishop of the Soul Great Mystery p. 91. which therefore needs Redemption by Christ which cannot be said of God or Christ himself that he Needs or Wants Redemption what Gross and Silly Nonsense would that be to affirm These Adversaries may be ashamed of such gross Perversion and Abuse as their thus rendring the Quakers to confound the Being of the Creator and the Creature as if they were one and the same Being Another Instance is against G. Keith Speaking of Christ That he came to Save that which was Lost in Man's Heart and after speaking of Christ's Ministers
