A77972	The vvalls of Ierico razed down to the ground. Or, An answer to a lying book, called the Quaking principles dashed in peices [sic]: wherein one called Henoch Howett, which goes under the name of an Anabahtist [sic], doth falsely accuse, and maliciously belye us; his seven principles which he calls ours, I shall lay down, and what we own is vindicated, and what he hath belyed the truth in, is turned upon his own head. / By one who is zealous for the name of the Lord of Hostes, called Edward Burrough.	Burrough, Edward, 1634-1662.	1654 (1654)	Wing B6056A; ESTC R170173	16,554	17

civility and unseemly actions shall stand for thy own condition they are such as thy self who commits unseemly brawling and folly and vain contending against the truth in Glasiers hall as many honest hearted will witness against you and for us who have seen your base actions as scorning and flowting in that place and so here you your selves are guilty of the wantonness which Peter speaks of and of aluring through the lusts of the flesh which thou slanderously would cast upon us and thou further sayest none ever premised to themselves so much liberty as these and the Ranters in being freed from the power and tryal of the Word I answer both the Ranters and thee we do absolutely deny and testifie against you both to be in the enmity against God and against us who are his servants thou before was ranking us with the Papists and now among the Ranters but herein the Scripture is fulfilled upon us as they h●ve done unto Christ so they do unto us he was numbered among transgressors by thy generation of painted Sepulchers and whited walles as we are by thee and all liberty which is of the flesh and to the flesh we do deny as many can witness who are witnesses of our Ministery and again I say he that is able let him try us by the Scripture but thou art blind and hath hardened thy heart against God and hath neither salt nor savory and so is good for nothing but to be trodden under foot And wh●reas thou sayest the Lord bless every one of his from the condition of Chandler who formerly was the head of a Company of Shakers I answer The day is coming when thou canst not fly the wrath of God though thou pray God will not hear thee and if ever thou hast seen Chandler in this condition thou might have read thy figure in him weeping and ●●w●●ng and gnashing of teeth will be thy portion for ever and I say unto the●●●is condi●●o● of Chandlers is not come up●n him because he w●s o●ce a Sh●●e● by the d●e●d of the Lord upon him but because he went out from that condition out of the fear of God into the libe●ty of the flesh out of his shaking and fearing state which once he was in and this he shall witness with me to be true and against thee who would reproach the way of truth by him when the book of conscience is opened And whereas thou further sayest th●ir spirit w●●l perswade them that they are not fallen from righteousnesse and would therefore justifie them I answer We are gathered up into righteousness and fallen from vanity and this the Spirit of God perswades us and witnesseth in us and for us by which onely we are justified freely and not by the works of the law nor by any outward observance and herein thou also art a lyar who s●ith we are fallen from righteousness for even the righteousness of God is manifested to us by which we deny all your carnal outward observances by which you think to obtain life and righteousness Now in answer to thy sixt Particular which thou calls a heavy and sad offence which is a denying honour to men which thou saist is the example of good men to which I doe answer God hath commanded to h●nour him alone and not to bow down to any Creature and thou h●st brought m●ny Scriptures to oppose the command of God and so art more fully made manifest to be an enemy unto him which would plead against him by that which is written from him pleading the example of good men which is no example to us to break the command of God no more then Davids example in committing whoredom and Iosephs example in swearing by the life of Pharoah is an example for any to act those things now and I do utterly deny that any of these Scriptures which thou hast cited will prove and maintain your heathenish custome in your deceitfull way of honouring one another to please the divel in one another which is without the fear of God and it is a sad offence to none but the divel because it weakens and disturbs his kingdome of which thou art as is made manifest who pleads to uphold it from the Scripture but vain honour with flattering titles unto any man we do deny but yet we honour all men in the Lord and out of him we honour none to uphold the pride of man for God will bring it all down and lay it in the dust and exalt himself to reign over you all and whereas thou sayest how far are these men from the holy Writt To which I say and answer thou slanderously would make us to appear odious in the sight of men but all the upright in heart will see thee and thy blindness and ignorance who brings that Scripture where Christ in fulfilling the Law of God which he came to fulfil worshipped in the Temple to prove and maintain the worship of man Answ O you blind Pharisee and perverter of the Scripture God will plague thee thou enemy of his truth who perverts the Scripture to thy own destruction and art worse then the Pharisees who said he respected no mans person and they shall witness against thee and whereas thou speaks of honouring father and mother which thou sayest we deny in this our practice I answer I charge thee to be a lyar for as I said we honour all men in the Lord and directs all children and servants to obey their parents and masters in the Lord and this m●ny can witness for us which have more frequented our assemblies then thou hast done but this we also testifie where the obedience to any man stands in opposition to God the obedience to God is rather to be chosen and herein he that will not hate father or mother for Christ● sake is not worthy of him but thou carnal earthly man is pleading for the Kingdome of the Divel to honour man above God and I say how can you believe that seeks honour one of another your honour and your heathenish custome we testifie against yet unto every ordinance of man we are subject for conscience sake Now to that which you call the seventh mistake affording absolute perfection at one Instant in admitting of none but perfect men into conjunction Answ It is a mistake in thee for such a word never proceeded fr●m us I may say it is rather an absolute lye invented by thee to make us odious then a mistake from us for thy heart is desperately wicked and thy torment is kindling by the breath of the Almigh●y many which have heard us will testifie against thee for we say the Saints have their growth up into a perfect man in Christ as Christ himself had and we say also their is children and young men and fathers as the Apostle said but thou art not ashamed to utter thy lies and slanders which hundreds in this Ci●y will witness against thee for a lyar and even thy light in thy

THE VVALLS OF IERICO Razed down to the GROUND OR An Answer to a lying Book called the Quaking principles dashed in peices Wherein one called Henoch Howet which goes under the name of an ANABAHTIST doth falsely accuse and maliciously belye us his seven principles which he calls ours I shall lay down and what we own is vindicated and what he hath belyed the truth in is turned upon his own head By one who is zealous for the name of the Lord of hostes called Edward Burrough London Printed for Giles Calvert and art to be sold at the Black-spread-Eagle at the West-end of Pauls THE VValls of Jerico Razed down to the GROUND NOw is the time wherein the Lord God of heaven and earth is setting up a kingdome and exalting his name in the earth and is exalting his own Son upon the holy hill of Sion and is discovering the mother of harlots who hath made all Nations drunk with her fornication and Iesabel shall be cast into a bed of torment and the fire of the Lord God is come down from heaven and is kindled in the earth to burn up and destroy and to consume to ashes even all those that have worshipped the Beast and hath his Image and the false Prophets that hath deceived the Nations and they both shall be taken alive and cast into the pit for the Lord is grieved and wearied with this adulteress and viperous generation who are offering up that which stinks in his nostriles and strange fire and are professing him and his resurrection who crucifie him and put him to open shame and they deny the end of his coming and are offering in Cains nature while they slay the Iust and are in the gainsaying of Corah who perished in it and so shall all those that gainsay the Lord in his way and now the Lord of heaven and earth is proclaiming war with the Dragon and his Angels and they shall be cast out and whosoever doth resist him in his way shall be broken to pleces as a potters vessel and thou Henoch Howet who would limit the holy one of Israel and bind him up in thy carnal reason and stint him in his way and form up things in thy imagination from the Scripture and walks by tradition thou art accusing us among the Papists but let it stand for thy self and to that in thy conscience I speak and it will let thee see that all thy worship is taken on in thy will and in that nature in which the enmity stands and so hath taken on things and up things by tradition from others and that which was commands to others who followed the Lamb whithersoever he went and no commands to thee neither doth God require those things of that nature neither doth he accept it while the bands of wickedness is not loosed and the oppressed is not set free and therefore let all flesh and carnal reason be silent for God will confound the wisdome of the wise and they that have divined in their reasons which is in the curse and under the curse shall be mad now in the day when God is raising up his own Image and bringing back that which hath long been held in captivity and now the men of the earth Pharao and all the Inchanters of Egypt and the Sooth-sayers and the Diviners and Gog and Magog among which thou Howet art found one and they compass the Camp of the Saints about but fire shall come down from heaven that shall destroy all the adversaries of the Lord and Israel shall go free 1. That which thou cals our first principle And first thou saith they oppose the word Christ to the written word and will a word that is a discovery spiritual to be the word but whatsoever it is they call the word it is perfectly false and not the truth Answ Oh thou lyar and slanderer the Lord will plead with thee for addars poyson is under thy tongue and thou hast a whores forehead that art not ashamed of thy self accusing let hundreds in the City of London who hath heard us be witness against thee and thy lies that thou hast Printed and suffers them to be cryed up and down the streets as thy filthy songs and ballads and runs to disgrace the truth but to the Lord who is righteous shall thou give an account and thou art Ianes and Iambres that withstood Moses and for all thy hard speeches and filthy lyes shall thou give an account for to him who is the searcher of hearts and that in thy conscience shall bear witness against thee and that we oppose the word Christ to the written word as thou cals it I charge it upon thee that we do not oppose Christ to the Scripture for Christ is the word Iohn 1. and this the Scripture doth not oppose but bears witness to him who is the word and his name is called the Word of God and this word became flesh and dwelt among us as the Scripture witness and the Word of the Lord endures for ever but he doth not say the Letter endures for ever but thou that art accusing that we do not own a form of sound words here thou shalt be judged out of thy own mouth where reads thou of a written word in the Scripture and here thou shalt be tryed by the Scripture and judged by it that thou art a perverter of the Scripture thou would have more words then one the word is but one the word sanctifies sanctifie them through thy word but he doth not say the Letter sanctifies and the Word of the Lord is from everlasting to everlasting but the Letter is not from everlasting and the Scripture had a beginning and was declared in time and prophesie shall cease but the Word is from everlasting to everlasting and the Word of the Lord is as a hammar and as a fire but the Scripture doth not say that it is as a hammar and a fire and yet the word that he spoke was spirit and life yet the Scripture is not spirit and iife and thou that would set up the letter in the place of God to try all things and search all hearts thou makes an Idol of it and so opposes God with it and so would bring that to contend against the Lord the which they witness through suffering and I tell thee and all the world the word is but one and all who knows God hears that word and it is a light and a Lanthhorn unto their pathes but that is invisible and eternal and what the Saints were witness of this word they declared 1. Iohn and the Scripture is true and bears true record and testimony of the word and they were true witnesses of the word of life that wrote it and it is a true declaration or testimony of those things that are certainly beli●ved Luk 1. of the which they saw and heard and tasted and all who come to know the Word of the Lord reads it again and sees it as it is

written and further thy envy and shame is made manifest that thou would accuse and yet thou saith whatsoever they call the word it is perfectly false and not truth here thou would judge and yet thou cannot tell what we call the Word but at last concludes its false whatever it be and here thou blasphemes and cals Christ Jesus in whom is all truth false for no other word I own but Christ and the Scripture speaks of no word of God but one and thou that would make the Letter the Word it self shall judge thee and thou makes much mincing and arguments in thy carnal reason and saith the ground of error is ignorance of the Scripture and thou brings Mark and Matthew alas I know what Mark and Matthew wrote is true if thou had an ear to hear the ground of all error is because he is not known nor his voice whom the Scripture bear record of and thou saith we drive men into darkness that works upon people to disesteem the Scripture and perswades people to an uslessness of the Scriptures let all that have heard us in the City of London or elsewhere speak if they heard us say the Scriture was usless or did disesteem it but on the contrary we exhorted them to search if the Scripture did not bear witness to those things we declared and so let shame cover thy face thou falfe accuser and thou brings 2 Tim. 3.17 that it is for the perfecting the man of God and that its profitable to correct and instruct this is owned but it s not the man of God thou would have perfected by it but such hirelings as thy self hath been and false accusers as thou art and I say it is profitable to us to reprove thee and correct thee and read thy portion a lyars portion is in the lake and as Rom. 15.4 it s not denyed but as Christ Iesus is witnessed who is the Comforter whlch the Scripture bears witness of there is comfort and hope and thou saith the Scripture proves the New birth and teacheth perseverance to the end it bears testimony of some that did witness the New birth and that persevered unto the end but what is this to thee that never came one step in th● way and as for promises there is no promise but condemnation in the Scripture in such as thee and read it the lyar and false accuser and the envious shall not inhererit the Kingdom of God and their own thy promise and thy portion 2. Particular which thou cals a mistake that is speaking to a thing within thee I would fain know what can be meant of the thing within men for there is nothing to be spoken to in man but man Answ Here thy igno●ance shame and envy is made manifest that thou that hath pretended to be a Minister and a Pastor of a Church and cannot tell what thou hath spoke to what hath thou ministered to the wind or hast thou ministered to the devil and preached glad tidings to him who is in the transgression and free grace to him that hath walked contrary to God it is so and therefore thou and al● who are in that nature knows not what you speak and therefore none hath been at all profited by your Ministery and blessed be the Lord that its hid from the eyes of the wise and revealed to babes and thy envious spirit is seen that it is of thy father the Devil who is the accuser of the Brethren that would lay a thing down as an error and tels of dashing in peices our principles and yet knows not what it is nor what we speak dost thou accuse and knows not for what let shame cover thy face that ever thou should put pen to paper or speak of God or Christ and speaks thou knows not what and th●n thou hath hatched a thing and concludes there is nothing in man to be spoken to but man and before thou knew not and so art in confusion for Christ and his Apostles always spoke to man thou saith the Apostle saith he went and ministered to the Spirits in prison and to open the blind eye and to raise the dead and the dead should hear the voice of the Son of God and live and he preached liberty to the captive and is given for a covenant to open the blind eyes and unstop the deaf ears and make the lame to walk if thou hast an ear thou may hear but not to feed thy serpents wisdom do I speak I will shut thee out for into it thou cannot enter but through death and death wrote the book and the Apostles were made manifest to every mans conscience in the sight of God and the slothful servant had a talent given to improve which was anothers and not his own and that was required of him and that will God require of man and unto that we speak which hears us and shall witness us eternally even that which is not in the transgression neither is of man but is given to man to improve and ye● is not far from man but this is a mysterie and it shall be sealed for without a parable spoke he not to such as thou art and I know this is a parable but in the end thou saith thou knows not how they can speak to any light in man distinct from him unless they speak unto Satan or some of his legions here again thy shame and ignorance is made manifest we speak to the ear and the eye in man which the God of the world hath blinded and this is not of man and yet is not far from man but distinct that is thy own word I do not own it bring forth the blind that hath eyes and the deaf that hath ears did the Prophets speak to the devil in man we speak to the witness of God in man and according to this shall all be judged if thou hast an ear thou may hear oh thou blasphemer dost thou call that which may be known of God which is manifest on Rom. 2. dost thou call this a Legion of Devils even that which declares the eternal power and Godhead but thou art he that calls the Master of the house Beelsibub and in that nature thou art and the Lord will rebuke 3. Principle That thou cals a mistake that is the denying the use of reason in the matters of God calling it serpentine Answ The world by wisdome knowes not God and all the disputing and twining and lavishing of the wisdome of man and that which thou cals reason it is corrupted and is shut out and who lives in that nature are the unreasonable men that hath not faith now he that hath not faith hath not reason and he that hath faith hath the witness in himself but I see thee thy witness is without thee and so thou speaks unreasonably and all that would understand the mysteries of the Kingdome must come through death for light shines in darkness but darkness cannot comprehend it and therefore one

conscience will accuse thee to thy face that thou hast imagined lyes and mischief upon thy bed against us and whereas thou brings many Scriptures to prove thy slanders against us to be true to which I answer all the Scriptures we own and bear witness unto by that spirit from which they were spoken but thee and thy spirit we deny for both you and it is of the divel and thou hast divelishly added thy imagina●ions upon them and wrested them which I shall not now mention because I do deny the thing which thou assertest to be an absolute lie and do say unto thee God will reward thee thou slanderous tongue and whereas further thou sayest in our perfection we deny any man being under frailty or capablen ss to sin to be of our communion I answer here again thou art a lyar these words war never uttered by us as thou hast set them down but I say he that sins is of the divel and such we have no unity withal nor such hath no unity with God for no impure thing enters to him nor hath communion with him for whosoever works abomination is to be cast out and trodden in the winepress of his wrath where the portion of lyars is among whom thou must reeeive thy reward for with such we have no union who are disobedient children but with him who in the least measure which he hath received from God walks up in the light unto God we have unity and communion with him thou sayest one of us told ●hee that which sinned could not be saved I answer it is out of the reach of thy wisdome and thy vultero●s eye shall never see it I say as the Scripture saith the soul that sinneth must die and every man must die for his own iniquity if thou hast an ear thou mayest hear and fu●ther thou sayest that our doctrine may appear to be utterly against the Scripture thou brings Rom. 7.23 where Paul was under the Law and saw a Law in the members warring against the Law of the mind I answer this Scripture we own and are true witnesses of it but there was also a time that the Law of the spirit of li●e had freed him from the Law of sin and death but thy ignorance is made manifest who brings one Scripture to opp●se another and knows not the conditions in thy self from which Paul spoke and so art ignorant of what he spoke for I say there is a time without the Law and a time under the Law and a time dead to the Law and not under it and all these states Paul witnessed which we also in our measure are witnesses of which thou knowes not in thy self and so wrests Pauls words And whereas thou sayest yet let not them think that we by this doctrine nourish sin having brought many Scriptures to plead for sin I answer being guilty in thy self thou art afraid and hath a jealousie lest we should lay it to thy charge and truly concerning thee we think nothing in this matter for thy heart and the secrets of it is made manifest in the eternall light by which thou art comprehended and answered and by which God will eternall judge thee therefore repent lest the wrath of God overtake thee and thou be swept away with the besom of destruction who hath falsly accused and slandered us with lies and false reproaches but now it s the time that Pilate and Herod is made friends and Gog and Magog is gathered together to battel to compass the Camp of the Saints about and even the Priests and their crew and the Anabaptists and their crew and all Sects is combined against the truth but God is with us and in him alone can we rejoyce over you all for ever and ever and in him make our boast all the day long for this is our heritage every tongue that riseth up in judgement against us shall be condemned for the Lord is our port and even the stone which is refused is become the head stone of the corner and thou Howet shall be grinded to powder by it who hath bent thy bow to shoot at the righteous therefore consider what thou hast done and repent lest God tear thee in pieces and there be none to deliver FINIS
