the Lord who is coming in his Power to execute true Judgment upon all you Judges and to change all your Laws ye Kings Sing all ye Saints and rejoice clap your hands and be glad for the Lord Jehovah reigns and the Law shall be taken from the pretended Rulers Judges Justices Lawyers and Constables All this Tree must be cut down and Jesus Christ that is in us will reign alone The Q. Vind. p. 4. And that Magistrates or Civil Government is God's Ordinance for the punishment of Evil-doers and praise of them that do well OBSERVATION Reader here is a little hint of their Antimagistratical Principles and when you compare their Practice of Non-submission to the Laws of the Land which require payment of Tythes which they say whoever do bear about them the Mark of Antichrist and which require payment to the Church-Rates or Lays which they throw off as a Yoke of Bondage and their observing the Publick Fast when one is at Plow another at Cart others in their Shops with their Windows open in Publick Testimony against both the Command of the Magistrate and Formality of the Fast only they tell you as in their Vindication P. 3. For the Intent Substance and End of a True Fast This we are frequently mindful of c. But how Why they think of it when at their Employment and at their Meetings on contrary days I say when these and a hundred things of like nature are considered together with G. W. the Counterfeit Quaker's seeing cause as he says otherwise to word the matter and yet intend the same thing This is a plain Discovery that they account Magistracy a cumbersom Tree that must be cut down with all its knotty Branches as Rulers Iudges Iustices Law●●rs and Constables and this shews them as good Friends to the State as to the Church only for the present they see cause otherwise to word the matter though like Arius they still mean and intend the same thing However they as yet neither sing nor clap their Hands the Tree is still standing neither do they clap their Hands for Joy for if they should then might all true Protestants wring their hands mourn and lament they would soon see all things turned upside down For Instance Down with the Scriptures and up with their Pamphlets down with the Ministers and Dispencers of the Gospel as Witches Devils Robbers Antichrists Gormandizing Priests c. and up with their Impostors Deceivers and Seducing Teachers down with Baptism and the Lord's Supper Instituted by Christ and practised by his Apostles and Martyrs and all true Christian Churches and up with their Womens Meetings ordained by G. F. down with the Lord's Prayer the Ten Commandments the Apostles Creed and all that bear the Face of true Christianity and up with their Silent Meetings those Nurseries of Ignorance or Silent Universities A woful day for Christendom would this be which God of his mercy prevent The Perfect Quaker The Counterfeit Quaker Fox's Mist p. 77. And as for any being moved of the Lord to take away your i. e. the Priests Hour glass from you by the Eternal Power it is owned c. See the Paper against J. P. Aug. 10. 1670. And we also testifie that if any person whatsoever shall act or speak any thing that is evil under pretence of a motion from the Spirit of God we utterly deny that motion to be of God OBSERVATION Oh ye People of Wymondham behold and consider of the pernicious Principles and dangerous Doctrine of the Perfect Quaker 1. Charging all such as preach Christ without and bid People believe in him as he is in Heaven above to be False Ministers and as such call them Witches Devils Thieves Robbers Wolves Antichrists Hell-hounds seeking after their Prey like the mouth of Hell Gormandizing Priests the Bane of Soul and Body of the Universe 2. That they deny Jesus of Nazareth who was born of the Virgin to be Christ 3. How they run down Magistracy as a Cumbersom Tree and the result was as by their Doctrine appears that under colour of a motion from the Lord they might lay waste meum and tuum and with these and many other horrible Principles they prest into the World in the Year 1650. as afterwards and God assisting and giving me length of days I may further make appear But when this Defective Coin would not pass for True Metal then the Counterfeit Quaker he gets up and appears in the Person of G. W. and some few others and they tell you they may see cause otherwise to word the matter but yet mean or intend the same thing All which considered I dare appeal to the Inhabitants of Wymondham yea to all Christendom Whether any Credit ought to be given to their new-moulded new-coined and counterfeit Confessions until they have first condemned by Publick Censure their old Heretical Principles which tend to overthrow the Christian Faith And whereas G. W. in his Count. Conv. Epist says I do hereby sincerely declare that 't is not for Controversie sake that I am so much engaged therein nor am I the beginner of these Controversies being wholly Defensive c. Although I am not minded to Reply to his Book at present for as much as I find that he hath taken notice but of part of mine Entituled Quakerism Withering c. and what he has does rather confirm what I have said than otherwise yet I am willing to let Richard Ashby my present Antagonist know that his Brother Whitehead is false in this also which at the Dispute I shall make appear For he writ against Episcopalians Presbyterians Independents and Baptists before ever they wrote against him and ever since has been such a contentious Scribler that he has wrote Ten Books against others to One Book against him of any one Man's Writing And in Nine Months time he wrote Three Books against me to one of mine against the Quakers and two of them without any fresh occasion given him With what Face then can this impudent Juggler appear then in Print to render himself such a Scandal to his own Fraternity I would have said Christianity but he does not deserve to come so near it though he and his Brethren the Counterfeit Quakers have so ordered the matter as that by their black Art of railing on the Publick Ministry Contempt of Scripture despising the Ordinances of Jesus Christ and the like Antichristian Principles they have made such Rents and Divisions in Church and State as will take much time to repair Though I do verily believe Quakerism hath such a Sandy Foundation that it cannot stand long but in due time will fall die and wither away And G. W.'s Practice in writing to Mr. Smithies Mr. Archer and others to stop me is a sign to me that he begins to fear it As for my Dedications I never yet met with any Reproof but my Books have met with kind Acceptation I do not expect that any Man should so concern himself
