AN ANSVVER To Twenty Eight QUERIES Sent out by Francis Harris to those People he calls Quakers Wherein his spirit is tryed to be contrary to that Spirit that was in all the Children of Light by his own words and infallible proof his slanders being removed his Queries are groundless and so the truth cleared in the sight of the least of the LORDS People Written in the defence of the truth and for the freeing the Israelite out of the hand of the Aegyptian J. N. As Jannes and Jambres withstood Moses so do these resist the truth And they bend the●r tongue like their bow for lyes but they are not valiant for the truth upon the earth for they proceed from evil to evil and they know not me saith the Lord. Take ye heed every one of his neighbour and trust ye not in any brother for every brother will utterly supplant and every neighbour will walk with slanders and will not speak the truth they have taught their tongues to speak lyes and weary themselves to commit iniquity London Printed for Giles Cal●er● and are to be sold at his Shop at the Black-spread-Eagle neere the West end of Pauls London 1655. Francis Harris ARt not thou ashamed to call us the Grand opposers of Queries and thy self hath put forth a whole book of Queries made up of slanders and false accusations which thou saies if rightly considered may be a stop to prevent falling into the snares of the Quakers and if soberly answered will occasion a discovery of truth I say in the answer of it will be discovered many of thy lies by the truth though they be too many all to mention and thy self in the snare of Satan which rightly weighed with thy work thou art found in may serve not only to prevent others for joyning with thee but also to awaken those who are a sleep in thy security for no lyer hath the truth in him nor no envious person hath eternall life abiding in him so with that light of Christ in thy conscience which thou opposest thou maist read thy work and thy condemnation In thy word to the Reader thou saies that Satan in these latter yeares hath bestirred himself to destroy the Gospel and the essence of Christianity I say what Gopel is that thou meanes of which in this latter yeares hath beene a destroying dost thou meane the Papists or the Bishops or some branches sprung from those roots no other Gospel is in danger of destroying with the light of Christ and his infallible Spirit that thou so much opposes and scornes with which the work of Christ is now carried out against all such plants which are not of his planting them to pluck up for the fire nay be ashamed of your professions who have got the finest colours to cover you with all the Turks and Heathen exceed you in Iustice mercy meeknesse and righteousness this Nation exceeding for wickednesse and the finest formes the greatest hypocrisie shall you doe all this wickednesse and be delivered in the day of the Lords judgments by crying the Gospel the Sabbath the Sacraments the Chruches the Scriptures c. When there is not a verse in the Scripture wherein you may not read your condemnation shall you be hid by saying you are sinners but harden your hearts and increase in it such an adulterous and stifnecked generation was never in the world before you with whom neither judgments nor mercies hath prevailed and now at his apperance are you gathered against him from all quarters of the Nations armed with weapons like your Master for whom you fight some with lies and slanders back-biting and false accusing laying to our charge in whom he is things we never knew and accusing us with things to come which we never intended and these are the head of the Serpent which makes way for gathering all the body and taile some with clubs and stones stocks and prisons some beating in the Synagogues and haling before Rulers some plotting in secret hatching the Cockatrice eggs which yet you have not power to bring forth and soe all is at work Gog and Magog against the Lambe and his despised ones where he is the prisons are fulfilled throughout the Nation and the Devill is come downe in great rage and the Nations are mad yet can you not believe that this is the work of the Devill thus to make havocke though none of God was ever found in it but his time is short and to judgment he must come head and taile root and branch the day is at hand here is the faith and the patience of the Saints he that hath an eare can only heare and he that hath an eye can see but the world is as blind and deafe as ever The occasion of thy Queries thou saies is the increase of the Quakers in Glocestershire and thou saies in a rude manner thou did compose them which some perswaded thee to correct c. I say they are rightly called rude and so they will appeare in time and thy ignorance also who thinks to stop the work of the Lord with these Queries but if thou had taken counsell so to have corrected them as to have taken out all thy lies thou had marred the foundation of thy Queries and with the light of Christ in thy conscience thou might have answered thy selfe covered thy shame and not have brought forth such a shamefull birth as this into the world the first coppie of them thou saies thou d●sowned I say if ever thou own truth thou will d●sowne the second also but thou seemes to put the fault why thou printed them upon the Quakers who thou saies threatned to publish the Coppie in thy name and thou saies some favorites of ours perswaded thee not to publish any thing against us saying we would cast dirt and filth in thy face and set out thy miscariages in a multiplying glass alledging to thee the Counsell of Gamaliel c. I say thy speech bewrayes thee was this our friend which gave this false testimonie against us he was a friend to thee if thou couldest have seene it and have taken his Counsell after Gamaliel but he hath not spoken truth of us for I am so far from multiplying thy miscariages that a third part of thy lies I have not mentioned And the quakers had done thee no wrong had they published in thy name what thou wrote yet I judge the least of the Quakers might have been much better imployed then to fill peoples eares with such lying vanities which are most fit to rot had not thou brought them first to light And thou speaks as of some feares of some reports that are out against thee concerning thy conversation as though the Quakers should publish them to which I say if thy conscience accuse thee and being inlightned with the light of Christ owne the light and turne to it and repent of thy sin and love the light which shews it therin should I rejoyce more then in publishing
