Antichrist in Flesh Vnmask'd AND THE Quakers Christianity Vindicated FROM THE Malicious and Injurious Attempts Of Edward Paye William Alcott Henry Loader In their late Defaming Confused BOOK Falsly Styled Antichrist in Spirit unmask'd or Quakerism a great Delusion Wherein their Causeless Outrage Folly and Falshood are deservedly Exposed But ye are forgers of lies Job 13.4 London Printed for Thomas Northcott in George-yard in Lombardstreet 1692. CHaritably hoping that many among the People commonly called Anabaptists are more Tender and Honest minded than some of their Ministers or Leaders who have shewen their Envy and Bitterness against us I would tenderly propose a few things to the more Honest Moderate and Charitable among them in and about Deptford and elswhere that may be concerned in reading that Scandalous and Malicious Book against us Falsly stiled Antichrist in Spirit Vnmasked or Quakerism a Great Delusion lately Owned and Published by their Brethren Edward Paye Henry Loader William Alcott I. That they have Causelessly and Unjustly begun a Quarrel against us to Defame us as a People who have had nothing but Love and Good-will to them and that People and maliciously tending to Reproach and Blast our Credit in what we have solemnly professed as to our Christian Belief and Religion both to the Civil Government and Nation II. They appear Envious against our Present Liberty as Men of a Turbulent Persecuting Spirit by seeking to invalidate and make void one Condition of our present Liberty which through God's Providence is granted us and them and that is our Profession of Faith in the three Divine Witnesses in Heaven the Father Son and Holy Spirit being one God blessed for evermore And acknowledging the Holy Scriptures of the Old and New Testament to be given by Divine Inspiration Which Profession though sincerely owned and consented unto by us before the Parliament and accordingly accepted and inserted in the Act For exempting their Majesties Protestant Subjects dissenting from the Church of England from the Penalties of certain Laws and therein confessed to be a Profession of their Christian Belief Yet contrary thereunto these Persons have grossly Belied and Misrepresented Vs the People called Quakers accusing us with Vilifying and Contemning the Holy Scriptures and that we own not the Scripture but seemingly allow it Epist and Pag. 14. And that The Quakers are great Enemies to and Contemners of Holy Scriptures p. 20. both contrary to our Sincere and Christian Profession before-cited and to the Civil Government 's Belief and Acceptance thereof wherein these Anabaptists have neither done honestly towards us nor prudently towards their Superiors thus to contradict and consequently to affront the Government in its Belief and Charity towards us and to set Subjects at Variance and to raise Persecution against us again instead of being humbly thankful for their and our present Liberty III. They have not only abused particular Persons but a People a Religious Society fearing God and truly esteeming the Holy Scriptures when we have solemnly and sincerely declared to the Government That we believe the Holy Scriptures of the Old and New Testament are given by Divine Inspiration Wherein we are Believed Accepted and Tolerated by the Government Two or three Anabaptist Preachers divulge the contrary to the World in Print That the Quakers are great Enemies to and Contemners of Holy Scriptures and no Christians but deluded Impostors and their Profession a Compound of Heresies p. 8 20. And what 's the Consequence but therefore the Quakers are not fit to be tolerated nor to have their Liberty of Conscience or Exercise of Religion And no Doubt had these angry Anabaptists Power we should not enjoy our Liberties the very Nature and Tendence of these their Bitter Lying Invectives being to bring Persecution upon us as a People not to be given any Credit unto in our solemn Profession before Authority IV. Pray observe That much of the said Pamphlet or Book against us styled Antichrist in Spirit is collected out of other Books and Pamphlets of our Adversaries long since Answered and Refuted and their Authorities are utterly denied by us As the Westmorland Petitioners who were Envious Persecutors Thomas Hicks his Fictitious Abusive Dialogues who was proved a notorious Forger of Lies And a most Malicious Libel styled Tyranny and Hypocrisy c. without Author's Name yet cited and insisted upon against us Thus Credulous and Malicious are these Persons Edward Paye Henry Loader William Alcott as to take Scandalous Pamphlets on Trust whose Authorities we utterly Deny and Challenge them to prove them Authentick they having been long since sufficiently Answered Disproved and Refuted in our Friends Books one entituled The Christian Quaker in Folio another Reason against Railing another The Counterfeit Christian in 8o. another Judas and the Jews another The Divinity of Christ c. in 4o. another The Christianity of the People called Quakers vindicated in Answer to Dr. Forde and many others of our Friends Books which contain sufficient Answer to all the chief Objections and Reproaches scraped up in this Inveterate Lying Pamphlet aforesaid V. They have Unjustly and Falsly Curtalized and Perverted divers of our Friends Words and Passages in their Books leaving out the Explanatory Words and Sentences VI. They have argued fallaciously in divers things deducing Inferences and Charges from a particular to a general as from a particular Person chargeable as supposed they charge the General that is a Body of People which is very unjust as if where we find false Logick Absurdities and Errors committed by these particular Persons Edward Paye Henry Loader William Alcott we should charge them upon their whole Society or Body surely they would not be so serv'd VII It would be well for their Hearers who are more Peaceable and Prudent not to be subject to such Envious and Turbulent Teachers whose Work tends to Sedition Strife and Discord among their Neighbours but rather to reprehend their Rage and Railery and caution them to live peaceably among their peaceable Neighbours that mean them no harm VIII It is a manifest Sign the Lord has forsaken their Shadows and Forms of Profession who are turned into so much Envy and Bitterness as these Men are against other Dissenters more Christian like than themselves That they are turned from the Spirit into the Flesh which Envy is a fruit of The Primitive Tenderness Simplicity and Spiritual Discoveries and Preaching that were formerly among some of their Ancient and Eminent Brethren being now lost and slighted by these Gain-saying Adversaries which is their sad Apostacy who instead of owning the Sufficiency of the Spirit 's Teaching as they did formerly now oppose Immediate Inspiration p. 16. and possessing the Kingdom of Christ p. 52. and say that The Disciples did not expect this Christ to come into them p. 53. who is the same only and very Christ of God of whom the Holy Scriptures testifie they Quoting Deut. 18.15 Acts 3.22 Mat. 17.5 Luk. 24.39 Joh. 20.19 p. 52 53.
