no such thing as to imply a Bodily Resurrection but a change from Earthly Mindedness to a renewed State to God thro' the Operation of the Spirit Which shews us how they deceive the unwary Readers who would make them believe they own the Resurrection of the Body according to the Scripture and yet mean nothing thereby but Regeneration or the New Birth in time before the Death of the mortal Body And seeing this is the Resurrection they own and no other according to the Scriptures cited by George Whitehead one of them being Matthew 22.30 31 32. in the Resurrection they neither Marry nor give in Marriage might not one ask them whether they don't commit a hainous Crime who Marry and continue in a Married State after they have attained to this Resurrection And whether their Quondam Brother Thomas Case did not act more Agreeably to his Principles who turned away his Wife after he reckon'd he was come to the Resurrection and whom I heard say all Marriage was of the Devil and many know that it was his Principle but whether he did not supply that Defect by a more fashionable method Quere The Quakers also deny the last Judgment as is plain from George Whitehead in his Light and Life ● 40.41 who there contending with W.B. about Christ's outward coming in his Glorified Body to Judge the Quick and the Dead answer'd to the ●everal Scriptures that W.B. brought for Christ's outward coming at the end of the World and carries them all to his Inward coming already fulfilled and whereas it is said in the 1 Thess 4.5 That we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord He asks the Question after his way of Eluding positive Proofs Whether they did live and remain to a personal coming of Christ in the Clouds Yea or Nay Or whether it can be reasonably thought to be a Coming that is not yet nor that they ●ived and remained unto Which is so gross and absurd an Insinuation that it renders St. Paul to have spoken an Untruth even by Divine Inspiration when the Apostle said This we say unto you by the Word of Lord but they according to their common way of Shifting and Excusing themselves say these were but Queries tho' the impor●ance of those Queries imply a positive Denial ●nd so will be taken in the sense of all Mankind ●hat read them for it is evident in several pla●es in his printed Books besides what is here al●edged that he does deny that Christ would come to Judge the World in natural and passible Flesh and not only so but that he would not come in the same substance of that Body he had on Earth which was a mortal and passible Body of the same Nature with ours for he makes it most absurd that an Earthly Body and an Heavenly Body can be the same Substance and so denies Christ's being now in Heaven without us in that Body which rose from the Grave or his coming without us from Heaven in that Body to Judgment for there is no place of Scripture of the many that are justly brought by Orthodox Christians to prove Christ's coming without us in his glorified Body to Judge the World at the great Day of Judgement but some of their Teachers have turned altogether to his inward Coming which they say they Witness already fullfilled in them and they look for no other coming To which give me leave to add That they deny the Vse of Baptism and the Sacrament of the Lord's Supper which be pleas'd to take in their own words in a Book call'd Some Principles of the Elect People of God in scorn call'd Quakers p. 75. The Baptism say they that we own is the Baptism of Christ with the Holy Ghost and with Fire but we deny all other for there is but one Lord one Faith one Baptism one God and Father of all They that would have one Baptism outward and another inward would have two Baptisms when the Scripture saith the Baptism is but one and whosoever hath the Baptism outward are the same they are before but the Baptism of Christ makes a new Creature And now I see the other to be but a formal Imitation the Invention of Man and a meer Delusion And speaking of the Lord's Supper they say It is but feeding upon the Husk and Shell which is Carnal for the Bread which the World breaks is Carnal and ●atural and only feeds the outward Carnal Body and goeth into the Belly and so passeth out into the Dunghill and so likewise the Cup which they drink and so the Communion and Fellowship of the World passeth away but this is no Nourishment of the Soul but still the Soul lies in Death and here is no Communion but Natural Outward and Carnal of several Minds and Hearts full of Filthiness and Vncleanness which Is the Table of Devils eating and drinking their own Damnation not discerning the Lord's Body which is Spiritual and cannot be discerned by the Natural Man William Penn in his Reasons against Railing p. 108. affirms That Circumcision is as much in force as Water Baptism and the Paschal Lamb as Bread and Wine they were both Shadows and both Elementary and Perishable And we can testifie from the same Spirit by which Paul renounced Circumcision that they are to be rejected as not now required neither have they since the false Church espoused and exalted them ever been taken up afresh by God's Command or in the leading of his eternal Spirit and the Lord will appear to gather his People out of them but never to establish or keep People in them What a sad and fearful Delusion are the Quakers under who call the Institutions of our Blessed Saviour and which are expresly enjoined to be continued to the end of the World by such hard Names which is but spitting their Venom in the Face of the Institutor Some of the Quakers when they heard me defend the Sacraments said George since thou art for Outward Baptism and the Supper why dost not practice it To which I answered because I had no lawful Call to Baptize others and as to my self I was satisfied with the Baptism I received in my Infancy being born of Christian Parents for I believe that Baptism being a Seal of God's Covenant of Grace does as truly belong to the Infant Children of Believers under the New Testament as Circumcision did to Infant Children of Believers under the Old Testament Next as concerning the Lord's Supper after it pleased God to convince me that it was and is an Institution of Christ and let me see my Sin and Errour in rejecting it for which I have been humbled before God sincerely and heartily asking him forgiveness and which I hope God for his Blessed Son's sake has given me I had for a considerable time some Hesitations about the Lawful and Due Administrator and being clearly satisfied in all my Scruples in that particular I delaid receiving it for the sake of others lest
