A65860	The counterfeit convert, a scandal to Christianity and his unjustly opposing Quakerism to Christianity justly reprehended : and the true Christ, and Holy Scripures [sic] confessed by the Quakers : in opposition to two scandalous books falsly styled I.

Christ's Baptism with the Spirit And of the Washing of Regeneration Which was greater And was not the outward Supper Bread and Cup in Commemoration of Christ's Death a Figure also of his Inward Spiritual Supper Eating and Drinking with him in his Kingdom Who said he except ye eat my Flesh and Drink my Blood ye have no Life in you Where then is the falshood in our confessing Baptism and the Lord's Supper in the Figure and Substance F. B. quotes E. Burrough's Works p. 51. The Bread and Wine is visible and carnal a figure of a Spiritual thing And what then are they Spiritual or the Substance which is Christ That 's Popery which the Martyrs opposed who esteemed the outward Elements the Bread and the Cup figurative or a Figure of the Body and Blood of Christ spiritually receivedly Faith What great Error then can F. B. prove against us therein He farther cites E. B. in this point as follows p. 45 viz. For Christ never since he was sacrificed brake the Bread and drank the Cup with his Disciples p. 581 instead of 518. We do deny and do say it is no Ordinance of God neither was it ever commanded of him or practised by the Saints but is an Institution of the Whore of Rome c. This F. B. renders E. B. to say of the Bread and the Cup being cited in the next antecedent Words as here Oh sad what a gross Perverter art thou F. B This has been often thy fallacious manner of Citation to abuse us as 't is plain that which E. B. here says we deny as never commanded of God nor practised by the Saints but ● Romish Institution was Sprinkling or Baptizing Infants calling it the Baptism into Faith c. as in E. B' s. p. 518 before quoted and not breaking of Bread and drinking of the Cup ' as given by Christ unto his Disciples E. B knew this was some time practised by Believers ' but not the other and it had been more ingenious for F. B. to have convicted him of Error about Sprinkling than to mis-represent him Though I grant E. B. in p. 518 objects against their manner of breaking Bread and drinking Wine among the Unconverted and Unregenerate as not commanded of God nor practised by his Saints But does not call the breaking of Bread and drinking Wine a Popish Institution of Rome as he does Sprinkling Infants and their calling it the Baptism into the Faith This point is answered in the Quakers Vindication p. 2. col 1. But F. B. is more expert in mis-representing traducing and railing than in rational Argument or fair Disputation As to our Exception against Sprinkling and seeming thereby to allow of Dipping p. 46. we except against the one as unscriptural and allow of the other as once Scriptural in its proper Dispensation F. Bugg's Fifth and Sixth Charge against the Quakers That they undervalue the Death and Sufferings of Christ and exalt their own Sufferings above the Sufferings of Christ above the Sufferings of the Apostles above the Sufferings of the Martyrs or any Christians since the Days of Christ c. We deny these Charges as expresly contrary to our Principle and publick known Testimonies both highly valuing and exalting the Death and Sufferings of Christ above all other His charging the Quakers to exalt their Sufferings above the Sufferings of Christ imports as if they so lifted up extolled dignified or rendred their Sufferings more excellent than Christ's This is a most gross Calumny cast upon the People called Quakers and as expresly contrary to their Intention and Principle Though F. B. takes advantage at some Words of E. B's which he partially cites adding the Words called Quakers and as unfairly construes against the Quakers in general as where he saith Q. Mary's Days brought not forth a Suffering more cruel F. B. leaves out in many respects which many respects he explains to be about trivial Matters as for not putting off the Hat thee or thou to a Person and denying the circumstance of Swearing and Hundreds suffering on Suspicion when nothing could be charged against them and that this was contrary to Magna Charta Thus E. B. reflects upon the Arbitrary Proceedings of those in power in 1657. Though I cannot warrant all his comparative Expressions but grant that the Passage objected against E. B. in this place was not so well worded as intended according to his own Explication For by greater and more cruel Suffering I cannot think E. B. so senseless as to intend in all Respects as that the People of God in our Age have unde●gone greater and more cruel Sufferings than all the Primitive Sufferers Apostles and Martyrs in the Ten Persecutions no sure but in some respects wherein they did not suffer then upon such small Pretences as many did in Cromwel's time without any such pretext of Law as the Jews pretended against Christ. However tho' the Sufferings of the People of God among us was far short of the Sufferings in the Apostles Days and in the Ten Persecutions c. yet F. B. gives but a mean and partial Account thereof namely of a few Imprisonments and some small Distresses c. In the Twenty Five Years he was amongst the Quakers he might have remembred also the cruel Whippings and tedious Imprisonments close Confinements many of God's People have met withal here in Old England together with cruel Beatings Stockings Stonings c. As also the sad Accounts from New England of the cruel and barbarous Whippings Cutting Ears Hanging and putting to Death divers of our Iunocent Friends there I may not say this was so cruel as the Sufferings in the Days of the Apostles and Ten Persecutions c. But these being inflicted by Professors of Christianity in Old and New England it seemed more sinful and unjust in them than in the Heathens who pretended to no such Religion and Profession One remarkable Passage of Fr. Bugg's pursuant to the Fifth and Sixth Charge against the Quakers I must needs take some notice of In his Sheet to the Parliament he puts a Query viz. Whether was greatest the Sufferings of the Quakers or the Sufferings of Christ To which Bugg saith G. W. gave no direct Answer but glossed it over as his usual way is for if he had answered that the Sufferings of the Quakers had been greatest as their Doctors teach a gross Lie by the way the People would have been ready to Stone him for Blasphemy Again if he had said the Sufferings of Christ had been the greatest he had then given the Lye to E. B. So that he was in a great strait like the Pharisees of old their Predecessors Thus far Bugg p. 47 48. Now F. Bugg I pray thee see and I wish thy Ministers William Smi●hies and Isaac Archer may see what a notorious wilful Liar thou art in this very point in saying G. W. gave no direct Answer to thy Question but was in a great strait To evince thy wilful Lie herein

Christ's Lambs defend Epist. to the Reader p. 7. The Christianity of the Quak. Vindic. In Answer to Dr. Ford p. 13. And Charitable Ess●● p. 5. And we do also frequently read the Scripture in our Families many of us more than any other Books or Epistles whatsoever To prove the Quakers Denial and Contempt of the Holy Scripture pursuant to this abominable Lye Bugg saith viz. And not knowing a better way to manifest them I erected a mock Pillory and tried them and found them guilty on their own Premises p. 33. The more Insolent Impudent and Shameless thou F. Bugv and the greater thy Shame and Wickedness What convict us of Error by wilful Lies and Forgery and by notorious Scandal and Defamation As was thy mock Tryal and mock Pillory as well as thy mock Cage from whence we may justly return thy Calumnies against G. Whitehead upon thy self and can prove them against thy self viz. That F. Bugg is First A publick Defamer Secondly A wicked Forger Thirdly A wilful Lyar. Fourthly A gross Perverter Fifthly A false Glosser Sixthly A Deceiver i. e. of some Silly Ignorant Cr●dulous and Enviour Persons not of any Impartial Wise or Judicious Oh horrible What a Christion a Convert a Church-man an earnest Contender for the Christian Faith as thou stiles thy self and yet guilty of such horrid Forger● Scandal and Slander as thy said mock Tryal is made up off Good Lord deliver us all from such a People and such a Ministry as own such a sinful Wretch and Self-Condemned Malicious Apostate as thou art for a true Convert Thy Charge of Denial and Contempt of Holy Scriptures on the People called Quakers is expresly contrary to what thou thy self hast positively declared in Print and that even in the Name and Person of the said People pleading for our Testimony to Christ within and the Kingdom of Heaven within De Christ Lib. ch 1. par 2. This sayst thou we told this we proved to the People out of the Holy Scriptures and that although the Scriptures were good and a true Declaration of those things which were most surely believed by the Apostles and by us ought to be believed yet not the only Rule but still the Spirit of God which was the first Principle the Foundation Principle c. Thus far F. Bugg Pray note here 's F. Bugg when a pretended Quaker speaking truth herein and clearing himself and the Quakers from being guilty of the least contempt of Holy Scripture but on the contrary owning the same both as Holy and True and to be most surely believed whereby both himself and the Quakers did then i. e. in 1682 own the Divine Authority of Holy Scripture by his own Confession But F. Bugg since a pretended Church-Man tells the World gross Lies against the People called Quakers namely That they deny and contemn the Holy Scripture F. Bugg the Quaker spoke truth but F. Bugg the pretended Church-Man and Convert tells Notorious Shameful Lies and Calumnies T is an ill Bird that fouls its own Nests and One such Runagado is worse than three Turks His Reasons to prove that we do not believe the Doctrine and Precepts recorded in Scripture to be either blessed or holy are as false and impertinent as his Charge and but a telling Lies to prove Lies which therefore I thus oppose 1. 'T is false that we cast Reproachful Language and Contemptuous Expressions upon the Doctrine and Precepts recorded in Scripture 2. Not reading them in our Meetings for Worship is no Proof that either we have not the Spiritual and Living Worship of God among us nor any Evidence that we do not belihve the Doctrine and Precepts recorded in Scripture to be blessed or holy Our humbly Worshipping God in Spirit and Truth is what 's required of us by Jesus Christ and the Holy Scripture which therefore is Testimony of our Belief that the Doctrine thereof is Holy 3. 'T is false again that we say without Distinction to Preach out of them is Conjuration I am confident these Words were never spoken by the Quakers thus general and positive without any other Distinction or Exception about the Preachers and manner of Preaching 4. These are notoriously false that we lay aside a● useless the use of the Lord's Prayer Ten Commandments c. Seeing by the Spirit of Christ we Pray after that manner as he has taught and practise the Substance of the Commandments in that Love which is the fulfilling thereof 5. We are not conscious to our selves of denying the Ordinances of Jesus Christ either in not believing Sprinkling Infants to be of Divine Institution or in not practising John's Baptism which is that of Water not mentioned in Go teach all Nations Baptizing them Mat. 28. And This do in remembrance of me i. e. as oft as ye do it But of how long continuance and till what coming of Christ is the Question Though we believe this and all other Precepts both of God and Christ were holy under their several Dispensations yet it follows not that we must reeds still practise every thidg that was holy or else be condemned as not believing the Doctrine and Precepts of Scripture to be holy F. Bugg will make no good Logick of such Arguments and Consequences for that were to bring us back to the divers Washings Baptisms Tythes Offerings Pussovers and Circumcisions c. under ehe Law which were all holy in their first Institution and Dedication 6. 'T is also notoriously false that we do prefer our own Books Papers and Epistles before the Scriptures i. e. the holy Scriptures because some of them are occasionally read in some of our Meetings for both in our Ministry Books and Epistles People are often referred to the Holy Scriptures for proof and excited to read them and that they may understand believe and live according to the same by the Assistance of God's Holy Spirit And therefore we esteem and prefer the Holy Scriptures before our own Writings contrary to Bugg's false Aspersion upon the Quakers i. e. That they make void the holy Scripture by their Traditional Pamphlets His gross Lies of this kind are numerous the Lord rebuke his Lying Spirit and great Envy F. Bugg's Fourth Charge against the Quakers They deny the Ordinances of Jesus Christ as Baptism and the Lord's Supper We deny this Charge as laid down without distinction and that for our Reason F. B. cites viz. As for Baptism and the Lords Supper Scripturally considered in their several Dispensations in the Figure and Substance we confess and own To this F. B. presently answers This is false as their Books declare p. 45. What 's false He considers not he knows not what He answers very inadvertently are not Baptism and the Lord's Supper Scripturally considered both as in the Figure and in the Substance in the Type and in the Antitype I never heard any true Convert Christian or real Protestant say this is false before Was not John's Baptism with Water a Figure of

is pretended by one Party This is falsly represented and perverted against G. W. in the first Part who did not represent those of G. K's Doctrin● mentioned but as pretended Fundamentals although T. C. has this falsehood pretended Fundamentals divers times over in his Introduction Whereas my Words are as is pretended by one Party relative to divers Accounts lately published in Print of some ●ate Divisions and Disputes about several Fundamental Doctrines of the Christian Faith as is pretended by one Party which therefore at least some whereof I grant to be such and do not call them pretended Fundamentals But that the late Division is pretended to be about them according as my Words are clear in our small Treatise referred to viz. The Christian Doctrine and Society of the People called Quakers p. 1. one of which Fundamental Doctrines which he says G. W. represents but as pretended Fundamentals is That Christ is in Heaven in his glorified Nature of Man Body and Soul God and Man both Introduction p. 2. And where have I contemned or opposed this Doctrine How Inadvertent and unjust art thou T. C. in this Do not I plainly declare in the same Treatise p. 3 That as Man Christ died for our Sins rose again and was received into Glory And p. 5. That Christ's Body that was Crucified by the power of God was raised from the Dead and that the same Christ that was Crucified ascended into Heaven and Glory and that his Flesh saw no Corruption it did not Corrupt But yet doubtless his Body was Changed into a more Glorious and Heavenly Condition than it was in when subject to divers Sufferings on Earth c. Where 's now the Contempt of his Person Mayst thou not be ashamed of thy false abusive Charge From my Saying the same Christ that was therein i. e. in the Body or Flesh Crucified thou falsly inferrest So then he that was nailed to the Cross and pierced was not Christ p. 24. Here thou quarrellest with the Apostles Doctrine and Language 1 P●t 3. 18. Being put to Death in the Flesh And ch 4. 1. Christ hath suffered for us in the Flesh. 1 John 4. 2. Jesus Christ is come in the Flesh And 2 John 7. And many Deceivers are entred into the World who confess not that Jesus Christ is come in the Flesh. Mark here Christ suffered in the Flesh and Jesus Christ come in the Flesh. Was this to deny him that suffered on the Cross to be Christ or to Con●emn his Person No sure How sillily hast thou deduced many Inferences of this kind against us as if thou wert minded to be Litigious Again Thy inferring That he who was nailed ●o the Cross was not Christ but a Body a Vail a Garment of an Earthly Perishing Nature p. 24. Here again thou pervertest and abusest us Where did we ever say that he who so suffered was not Christ but a Body a Vail c. Seeing 〈◊〉 was Christ that suffered in the Flesh and his ●●esh was called the Vail Heb. 10. What Contempt to Christ or Denial of him was such Say●●g And where did ever any of us say that ●●s Body that was nailed to the Cross was of a ●●rishing Nature seeing his Flesh saw no Cor●●ption But thy great Offence is about I● Pennington's ●ords viz. We can never call the Bodily Gar●…t Christ p. 26 c. And what then is this 〈◊〉 Undervaluing or Contempt to Jesus Christ ●25 Is it not as true literally as a Man's Gar●ent cannot be the Man himself that wears it ●●d may it not be as true figuratively as Christ's Flesh was the Vail And that without any Contempt to him his Body or Flesh called the Vail Unless thou canst prove the Holy Apostle a Contemner thereof who used the same Expression He i. e. Christ hath Consecrated for us a new and living way through the Vail i. e. his Flesh Heb. 10. 20. That Christ Jesus as to his entire Existence or Being doth not consist only of the Body or Flesh that was Crucified Thou grants as much not only in thy Confessing his Person as joyned to the Godhead Power Life and Soul was called Jesus and the Saviour p. 24. But also his being the Anointed as well as the Anointing p. 5. For Christ was before Abraham and David in Spirit called him Lord and he was that Spiritual Rock that all Israel drank of As for excusing Errors and Contempt of our Lord Jesus falsly charged on J. P. and being liable to be charged therewith p. 26. I am not conscious to my self of so doing by discovering his Intention and by his own Explications of the Words objected against him viz. As either that the Vail which was Christ's Flesh or that the Bodily Garment we can never call the entire Christ as intimated by his own Words chiefly and in the first place Christ as in one of his Questions 'T is strange that thou should shew so much Envy against that Innocent Man as to charge him with Contempt of our Lord Jesus who did more sincerely believe and confess him both in Principle Doctrine Charity and Innocent Conversation than thou hast done whose sincere Confession is also evinced against thy Brother F. Bugg By the Term Vail we neither undervalue Jesus nor set his Light above himself as is implied against us p. 25. For though every degree of Divine Light in us is of and from Christ Jesus yet 't is greater and more as in him in whom the fulness is as is more fully cleared in our said Treatise of our Christian Doctrine Concerning the Flesh of Christ being a Vail Heb. 10. thou grants was in respect to Man and so the Figure may be proper as intended by the Apostle If so then that Vail was not the entire Christ though the Name was given both to his Soul and Body in Scripture jointly and severally if by the Term Flesh be commonly understood the Person of our Lord Jesus where then dost thou prove that the Quakers contemn the Flesh of Christ considered either Spiritually or Litterally And though the Person of Christ I find but once mentioned in Scripture 2 Cor. 2. 10. from 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 in facie Christi vel Conspectu Christi in the Face or Sight of Christ. Yet understanding thy meaning I am not minded to quarrel with thee about Words and Terms To thy excusing F. Bugg's false Charge of Denying Jesus of Nazareth against us p. 25 I do not perceive thou canst make any good work of it upon his Instances where he makes our confessing Christ in us and witnessing him nearer us than at Jerusalem as J. Nayl●r did c. to be a denying of Jesus of Nazareth or confessing that Divine Principle i. e. the Word the Life or Spirit of Christ to be the Foundation Principle of Living Faith and Knowledge of Christ in his Spiritual Appearance in us I cannot see how this can be a Denying of Jesus of Nazareth any more than the Apostles preaching
