A78608	The deceived, and deceiving Quakers discovered. Their damnable heresies, horrid blasphemies, mockings, railings, unparallel'd deceit, and dishonestly laid open. In the discovery of which, is made known the pure use of the holy scriptures (which by them is denyed) the true Christ, and how he justifies, his second coming proved not to be already (as the Quaker affirms) also the resurrection from the dead, and the eternal judgement, and several other particulars that saints are required to be stedfast in. / Set forth especially for the good of those that are called out of the world, into the primitive order of the Gospel, but may be usefull for all people. By Matthew Caffyn a servant of the Lord, related to the Church of Christ near Horsham in Sussex, being an eye, and ear-witnesse.

be which he signifies in these words the hour is COMMING not come and now is as he said before when he spake of rising from deadness in sin which had been true provided his meaning had been as the Quaker would have it for men were as really risen from sin then as now thirdly because some that rise out of the graves there spoken of are signified to rise fit for damnation but those that rise from sin are fit for salvation fourthly because othersome that rise or come forth out of the graves here spoken of are such as HAVE done good and so are subjects of life in reference to what they HAVE done before they rise from the grave which could not be so if it be meant the graves of sin for the wages of sin is death to this agrees the answer of Christ to the Sadduces question to wit whose wife of the seven she should be in the resurrection when they shall rise for saith Christ when they SHALL RISE from the dead c. signifying that should certainly rise again yea from that death which cannot possibly be understood a death in sin the nature of the question being considered also in the resurrection whereof Christ speaks they shall neither marry nor are given in marriage but are as the Angels of God Mar. 12.23 25. wherefore most plainly it appears that by these words Christ preached up the resurrection of the body for from the beginning persons risen from sin did marry and were given in marriage and after Christ spake these words it was accounted honourable by the Children of God and is now so to be to this agrees also the voice of the Prophet Isa 26.19 thy dead men shall live together with my dead body shall they arise and the earth shall cast out the dead and saith Daniel many that sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake yea from such a death as some awakes from it to shame and everlasting contempt Dan. 12.2 and in this truth was Job well satisfied insomuch that he wished his words were printed in a book and graven with an Iron Pen in the rock for ever saying in my flesh shall I see God whom I shall see for my self and mine eyes shall behold and not another though my reins be consumed within mee and after my skin worms destroy this body Job 19.23 24 25 26 27. Object Job saw God in his flesh saith Lawson with a spiritual eye before his returning to the dust Job 42.5 6. Answ Jobs testimony concerning his seeing God then is not to be slighted neither that of Abraham Isaac and Jacob who also and after the like manner talked with God and saw God yet they dyed in Faith NOT receiving the promises Heb. 11.13 the Prophet also bearing testimony saying though Abraham be IGNORANT of us and Israel acknowledge us not yet there is a time that shall come and will come spoken of by Christ Luk. 13.28 29. when Abraham Isaack and Jacob and al the Prophets with many that shall come from the East and from the West from the North and from the South and shall sit down in the Kingdome of God and to this agrees the words of Job speaking of his seeing God but the time when he intimates to be after his body was destroyed by worms and the consuming of his reins within him which had not been when he spake these words Job 42. read 1 Cor. 13.12 Moreover if it were true that these men were in the resurrection and so in the Kingdome as they say they are then should those that are thrust out in their account SEE Abraham and all the Prophets in the Kingdome with them in glory and themselves weeping and gnashing their teeth for so said Christ to the rebellious Jews Luk. 13.28 but this with many more things which shall appear in the resurrection now appears not yet will they say that they NOW are in the resurrection oh STRONG DELUSION The truth of this is yet further evident for saith Paul since by man came death by man came also the resurrection from the dead for as in Adam all dye even so in Christ shall all be made alive 1 Cor. 15.21.22 that is from that death occasioned by Adams sin which God tells us was a returning to the dust of that which was taken out of the dust or ground Gen. 3.19 which we know was the fleshly body of man which by reason of sin must dye but through Christ all shall be made alive again now wee know that all are not made alive from a spirituall death therefore the Apostle speaks not here of that but indeed of the fleshly bodies of men that are buried or sown into the earth even as the sown Corn which cannot hold comparison with any thing else of man which he testifies shall rise again saying that THIS corruptible must put on incorruption THIS mortall must put on immortality verse 53. marke not an immortal body of other matter but THIS which is now mortall now corruptible shall be made immortall incorruptible and so is made good the words of the Apostle Phil. 3.21 who shall change our VILE body that IT may be fashioned like unto his glorious body but the Quaker having another Spirit saies that it shall never come out of the grave but a lasse how greatly do they erre while they leave the Scriptures as not to be their rule wherein is clearly testified the conquest of the grave for saith the Lord Hos 13.14 O grave I will be thy destruction wherefore the Sea shall deliver up all that are in it Hell or grave shall deliver up all that are in it and death which feeds on many that were never buried in the earth or in the Sea shall also bee delivered up and so all shall come to judgement Rev. 20.13 this is certain for repentance is hid from mine eyes saith the Lord Hos 13.14 but according to the Quakers opinion the grave is the conquerer having got the bodyes of men in it and so holds them fast for ever saith Lawson that is originally the Devil but Christ in the Apostles account oh let him be also in our account even him who through death hath destroyed him that hath the power of death that is the Devil who will in his time ransome all from the power of the grave O remember Hymeneus and Philetus who are men branded with error for saying the resurrection was past already 2 Tim. 2.18 Object The Quaker saith this cannot be so because Paul saith flesh and blood connot inherit the Kingdom of God and thou sowest not that body that shall be but God giveth it a body as it hath pleased him Answ True it is that flesh and blood as now it is corruptible cannot inherit wherefore the Apostle afterwards saith that it must put on incorruption then shall it inherit the incorruptible inheritance and so is made good the comparison thou sowest not that body that shall be for we sow that is commit

mans body to the dust corruptible but God giveth it a body as it hath pleased him even an incorruptible body that is raises the body which was sown corruptible in an incorruptible condition so it is that to every seed is given HIS OWN BODY for the Corn consumes not away which is sown into the earth neither there abides but the very same springs up again to its proper body but more excellent through a change and even so our vile body shall be changed and made like unto his glorious body Phil. 3.21 wherefore the summe of all is thus The bodies of men that are committed to the earth CORRUPTIBLE DISHONOURABLE WEAK NATURALL WHICH SO CONSIDERED CANNOT INHERIT THE KINGDOME OF GOD SHALL RISE AGAIN INCORRUPTIBLE HONOURABLE POWERFULL SPIRITUALL AND SO CONSIDERED SHALL INHERIT THE KINGDOME OF GOD 1 Cor. 15.42 43 44. the Lord hath said it and who can disannul it Object It is the pure inside of the Corn that springs up again and not the shuck with it so it is the internal Spirit of man that shall be glorified and not the body of flesh which is as the shucke Answ Most evident it is that that and so much of man as is SOWN into the earth is resembled by the sown corn now the Spirit returns to God that gave it and the fleshly bodies are sown into the earth resembled by the Corn that is sown into the earth and God gives it marke it is not said that he gives or makes A body as if it were another in respect of matter but gives IT even IT that was sown into the earth a body glorious immortall as it hath pleased him this is evident if the reasoning with flesh and blood be ommitted and the holy Scriptures considered which testifies of the GRAVES OPENING and the DEAD bodies arising Matth. 27.52 that is to say SO FAR as they consist of the PURE CREATION Object Paul tells the Saints that they were risen with Christ Col. 2.3 ch Answ He doth indeed represent them as risen with Christ but saith he through Faith of the operation of God Col. 2.12 which evidences things not seen Heb. 11.1 wherefore he tells them afterwards that their life was HID with Christ in God Heb. 3.3 and when Christ did appear THEN they should appear with him in glory verse 4. to which agrees these words Ephes 2.6 7. God who is rich in mercy hath raised us up together and made us sit together in heavenly places IN CHRIST JESUS that in the ages TO COME hee might shew the riches of his grace towards us even at the resurrection day when Saints shall be rewarded Luk. 14.14 unto which they had not attained for Paul himself the Teacher of them strongly affirms that HE had NOT attained unto the resurrection of the dead Phil. 3.11 12. but laboured that he might attain that is to the resurrection unto life at the appearing of Jesus which he might come short of if not diligent though notwithstanding come to a resurrection but great was his desire O let it be even our desires also to be of that number that shal be raised and meet the Lord in the air and so EVER be with the Lord 1 Thes 4.17 at which time Abraham Isaac and Jacob and the rest of the Saints that dyed in Christ shall rise though the Prophet have said that Abraham was IGNORANT of them and Israel acknowledged them not Isa 63.16 and the Apostle bare record saying that they RECEIVED NOT the Promises Heb. 11.13 but Christ testifies of a time when they shall sit down in the Kingdome of God Luk. 13.28 29. in reference to which time God said to Moses that he was the God of Abraham Isaac and Iacob as appears by Christ who testified that God is not a God of the dead but of the living and so from this concludes that they must needs rise again Matth. 22.31 32. God having provided some better thing for us that they without us should not be made perfect Heb. 11.40 this is the resurrection which the Apostles preached which was esteemed strange which made Paul say why should it bee thought a thing incredible to you that God should raise the dead Acts 26.8 now that the rising from sin wherein men are said to be dead to newness of life was accounted an incredible thing I leave honest judicious souls to judge this is the Resurrection concerning which Paul had hope towards God both of the just and unjust Act. 24.15 Which saith the Quaker is the old corrupt man rising in a man which is the unjust and Christ the Light rising in the same man is the just And so one man is to witness both the Resurrection of the just and unjust in himself This have I been plainly told I speak the truth in Christ I lye not by one of them well and truly said the Apostle the MYSTERY OF INIQVITY 2 Thess 2.7 8. what had Paul hope towards God that the Old corrupt Man should rise again either in himself or in any others Oh how great also is the darkness of this mystery Moreover men that are turned from sin to a new life cannot say and say truly and understandingly that they are risen AGAIN because they were always fallen and dead in sin now the Resurrection is not only a rising but a rising AGAIN according to the true proper and prime signification of both the Latine * 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 resurrectio a rising again Greek * word wherefore O friends look to your selves and hold FAST FAST the form of sound words as yee have been taught ABOVNDING in the work of the Lord for as much as yee know your labour is not in vain in the Lord for thus saith the Lord O GRAVE I will be thy DESTRVCTION repentance shall be HID from mine eyes Hos 13.14 The Quaker also saith that the eternal Judgement is PAST already as to them having as they say given an account to God already for all that they have done and RECEIVED THE REWARD FOR THEIR SINS even WRATH and CONDEMNATION that is the wounds of Conscience and the like this and more to this purpose you may finde in Desburies Book called A Discovery of Mans return to his first estate pag. 7. This will they say proceeds from the light but Christ the LIGHT INDEED discovers it to bee gross darkness who speaking of rebellious Capernaum said that it SHALL be more tollerable for Sodom in the DAY OF JUDGEMENT than for thee Matth. 11.24 now we know that Sodom was destroyed long before for their great wickedness for which no doubt they had many wounds of Conscience yet repented not and this was not in Christs account the Judgement for he speaks of that as to come and so is made good that saying Heb. 9.27 It is appointed unto men one to dye but AFTER THIS the Judgement alas alas how doth vain thoughts lodge within these men how greatly are they deceived while they slight the true use of the
