Christ c. Which is as large an Excommunication as the Pope himself or his Infallible Council ever pretended to for they have not only by their Bull of Excommunication cut him off as they dream from the fellowship of the Quakers in London Wales c. but off from the whole Church of Christ And as this is a great arrogancy in the Quakers and presumption too so do they thereby differ from the French Protestants And in regard this their Bull of Excommunication was denounced against G. Keith for that he did not effectually call in his Books writ against the errors of the Quakers and thereby clear the body of the Quakers from those errors charged upon the Quakers in Pensilvania which in Conscience he could not do in regard he knew them Guilty thereof This is a plain demonstration that W. Pen's averring that they never endeavour to hinder the sale of their Adversaries Books is a great untruth See the next proof Instance III. In the year 1693. I put forth a Book entituled New Rome Arraigned c. which the Quakers by an Officer seized and carried 60 of them to a Quakers house and Indicted me in the Old Baily London An Abstract of the said Bill of Indictment is as followeth London ss At the General Quarter Sessions of the Peace holden for the City of London at the Guild-Hall of the said City on Monday the ninth of October 1693. before Sir J. F. Knight Mayor of the said City Sir P. W. Kt. Sir J. M. Kt. Aldermen Sir S. L. Recorder of the said City the King and Queens Justices to hear and determine the transgressions of Felons and other enormities committed within the said City The same Sessions is adjourned by the foresaid Justices until Thursday the 12th of the same month of October 1693. at 7 of the clock in th● forenoon at Justice-hail in the Old Baily London to be holden before the foresaid Justices and their Associates according to Custom c. And now passing by most of the form I come to set forth the Aggravating terms of their said Indictment c. Ut supra A certain Bill of Indictment against one Francis Bugg then and there brought before B. B. G. B c. Jury-men then and there sworn and charged to enquire for the said King and Queen and the body of the said City And was returned by the Jury thus Indorsed Ignoramus Which Bill follows in these words The Jury for our Lord the King and Queen do present upon their Oaths That Francis Bugg late of London Yeoman being a person of an unquiet and turbulent disposition devising practising and intending falsly unlawfully seditiously and maliciously Geo. Whitehead Ja. Park Ben. Antrobus Sam. Waldenfeild c. faithful Subjects of our Lord and Lady the King and Queen now of this their Kingdom of England extremely to scandalize to pr●cur● and bring to Infamy and Reproach amongst their Neighbours and other Subjects of our said King and Queen As also to move stir up and cause discords tumults and miser●●● slaughters between the Subjects of this Kingdom of England on the 18th day of September in the 5th year of our Lord and Lady c. And upon divers other days and times as well before as after at London aforesaid to wit in the Parish Church * * T is not a Steeple-house it seems now however neither I nor the Quakers wear there of St. Christopher in Farringdon-Ward he fals●y maliciously seditiously and illegally made composed and printed published and dispersed amongst the Subjects c. a certain scand●●ous mal cious and defaming Libel against the said G. Whitehead c. The same English Book or Pamphlet not being first Entered in the Register-book of the Cmpany of Stationers of * * No more do the Quakers of London and also not being Lycenced by Act of Parliament † † Why does not G. W get his Books Lycenced by Act of Parliament Proclamation or added to the Book this may be Printed by vertue of any Warrant under the Seal c. or one or both the principal Secretaries of State c. nor Lycenced * * I hope the Quakers will Lycence their Meetting-houses now they thus severely persecute me for not Lyce●cing my Book Canes timidi vehementius latrant nor Authorised by any person whatsoever against the form of the Statute in that case lately made and provided to the bad example of all that shall offend in that case and against the Peace of our Lord and Lady the King and Queen their Crown and Dignity Ignoramus Goodfellow Reader I have transcribed enough to shew their indicting me and that for no other crime than not Lycencing my Book If they say I put up a mock-Pillory to shew what they in reality deserved who as in the same Book I have set forth offered to suffer as in the case of Perjury if they falsify their word which they did do in the Case of Evidence and that in the Name of the Lord which amount to an Oath But suppose the form of a Pillory was not easy to them must I therefore be tried and judged to move stir up cause discords tumults and miserable slaughters c. Well however as this shews what the Quakers would do had they power so it is a sufficient proof that they did endeavour to hinder the Sale of my Books also this their indicting me shows what an envious and lying spirit they G. Whitehead and his Brethren are of SECT XVIII AS I have shewed how contrary the Principles and Practices of the Quakers are to the Principles and Practices of the French Protestants and indeed to all other Christians I am now about to shew their disparity in the Articles of their Faith setting forth an Abstract of the French Protestants Confession of Faith containing 40 in number which was presented to several French Kings as judging it a most proper way to obtain their Liberty as at large in the 1st Volume of J. Quicks History stiled Synodicon in Galia Reformata p. 6. to 15. And likewise what the Quakers believe if they believe as they write for by reason they have not given forth distinct Articles of their Faith like the Christian Churches in all ages I must collect some select passages out of their Books in one Column and the French Protestants in another viz. The Quakers Faith A Declaration to all the world of our Faith and what we believe who are called Quakers Concerning God and Christ Burrows works p. 439. We believe there is one only true God who is a Spirit and his presence filleth heaven and earth and he is eternal and everlasting the Creator and Preserver of all things Sauls Errand to Damascus c. p. 8. He that hath the same spirit that raised up Jesus from the dead is equal with God The Sandy Foundation p. 12 16. The vulger doctrine of satisfaction being dependent on the Second Person of the imagined Trinity of distinct persons
are not say they obliging unless a man be convinced c. SECT IX HAving by the foregoing shewed W. Pen to be for and against himself for conformity to the laws orders and decrees of G. Fox conviction or no conviction against conformity to the commands of God in Scripture unless convinced shewing himself thereby to be tot quot omnis every thing and nothing I am now coming to the latter part of the paragraph wherein you sorely complain of Mr. Faldo But if upon an impartial consideration he shall be found to clip or pervert our matter and to shuffle with us in his own Once do a poor people right c. Mr. Pen I am loath to provoke you but if I should I do not fear you you complain of Mr. Faldo's clipping and perverting your matter and shuffling with you in his word a crime no people upon the face of the whole earth more guilty than your selves and at which none better than your self G. Whitebread and G. Fox in his time and I must tell you G. W. hath stood in great need of you and does still one that can make a black thing appear white but I fear the Quakers will not yet depute you and my reason is Mr. Meads aversness to your Preface to Fox his Journal being bound up therewith but like some Lackey it is forced to run shrugging afoot in a poor thin blue coat waiting at the Readers Elbow like A Noun Adjective wanting a word to shew its signification as well as why it 's left to shift for it self c. Well William I have not forgot your complaint I am now coming to do right between you As to Mr. Faldo I have not read all he writ but so far as I have I find him fair and ingenuous leaving out your glosses wiping off your paintings and discovering your fallacies but William cast an eye upon G. Fox s Gr. myst and compare it with the Books which he pretends to answer and you will find it the greatest Mystery of Iniquity that ever appeared in the world under pretence of a religious contest of which Mr. Crisp has made a clear discovery in his Book entitled The Discovery of the accursed thing in the Foxonian Quakers Camp enlarged c. and An Essay c. to allay G. F. s Spirit Oh the horrible clipping mincing and shameful pervertions cutting sentences in two taking the middle of a line and leaving both ends altering the sense laming the argument and defacing the whole matter and if you please to do me right for once against his Son and your Companion that stood up stoutly for you when time was i. e. G. W.'s answer stiled The content Apost recharged c. to mine entitled Battering Rams against New Rome c. where he took one line here another there and sometimes five words out of the middle of a line sometimes but one word in a line and leaves the next and take the next and leap two or three lines off and take two or three words more see New Rome unmaskt p. 75. where this is fully discovered it may be some may think this is not worth the mentioning but if they do but consider first how they have prevailed with these people to believe that what their Teachers say is by an infallible spirit they will not err a jot but do right to all impartially next that they hinder their Hearers from reading the Answers or selling Books that are against them together with their way of spreading their own Books which suggest this and I do say it is one of the cunningest stratagems that Satan has assisted them in and a deep design to misrepresent their Adversaries I could write a Folio on this head but Fox his Book stiled The Great myst being examined and compared is a sufficient demonstration and if they will not examine but the blind will follow their blind Leaders be it upon themselves for what can a man say to such as are willingly ignorant and resolve to oppose conviction I remember one little pretty story in Fox's Journal see the 3d Table or Index Treachery against Geo. Fox his Horse Alas treason for W. Pen knows G. F was a King if he that has a Kingdom be a King see Judas and the Jews p. 44 45 46. of his own justifying too Well however it was either Treachery or Treason that 's certain as you may find it printed in the 255 page And I looked back and the Hostler was filing his Pocket with the Provender that was giving to my Horse c. I confess it was a naughty trick and the worse considering whose Horse it was but whether it deserves to be chronicled I leave the Reader to judge But Friend William if you please to look into the 77 page of G. F. his Great mystery there you will find him justifying Felony upon pretence of a motion which shew that the 8th Commandment Exod. 20.15 was not binding to the Quakers at least to G. Fox their great Apostle and Prophet and Jacob of the age well pray hear him And as for any being moved of the Lord to take away your the Ministers hour-glass from you by the eternal power it is owned c. Here you see he owns Theft in the Quakers with this proviso That if they be moved to it And what Thief will not to save his Bacon as the Proverb is say he is moved But the poor Thievish Hostler did but steal 2 or 3 handfuls of Oats and he must be upon Record to posterity for a Thief only G. F. was so kind as not to write his name down no more than he did the names of several upon whom he wrought his Miracles nor indeed where they dwelt only some in Maryland some in Barbadoes and some in Ireland But as to G. F. owning the Felony 't is not strange for if he was not convinced at that time of his duty to Gods command in the 8th Commandment he is by W. Pen justified and that this position is of a dangerous tendency and doth indeed carry in it all iniquity I shall yet further observe SECT X. HAving already treated of the Quakers Doctrine particularly that position which says That no command in Scripture is any further obliging upon any man than as he finds a conviction upon his own conscience c. which is such a pernicious principle as Mr. Faldo said that it carries all iniquity in the womb of it and indeed is the very floodgate by which Quakerism was first let in among us which came in as a mighty stream flowing over all our Banks of Laws Order and Government both divine and humane overturning the very Ordinances instituted by our Lord Jesus Christ the authority of the Scriptures to the great scandal of our Christian Religion and in the mean while valuing their own Papers Laws and Orders as superior to them And therefore as I have begun with the first planting of Quakerism which was in the year 1650.
