immediately denyed and he born Testimony against for this his Blasphemous Expression and two dayes after I did desire him to condemn his words but he refused it and said Shall I condemn that which I can prove and most Divines of our Way hold and you are Wretches and damned if you do not believe it Then it was laid upon me from the Lord God of Heaven and Earth to go to the Meetings where T. Powell did preach and give my Testimony to the purity of Christ Jesus and also it was with me to give the People some Papers with T. P's own words inserted in them with Directions to those that questioned the Truth of it where they might see the Original under his own hand which thing was not done in a spirit of Prejudice or with a Design to asperse or cast a Calumny upon T. Powell who terms himself Preacher of the Gospel as he falsly insinuates But to manifest and to make it appear that he is not what he intitleth himself to be inasmuch as he would not own Jesus Christ to be perfect as in the Discourse doth plainly appear but on the contrary affirms him to be the greatest Sinner in the World But T. P. perceiving the Dissatisfaction of some and being not able to stand by his Affirmation about three Moneths after put forth a printed Paper and intitles it A Word to the Wise is enough and sayes He thought it convenient to give the World this satisfaction that though those words Jesus Christ was the Greatest Sinner in the World were given under his hand to John Vaughton Quaker yet that was his Sense and is his Sense still viz. by Imputation and was repeated by him several times even before and after he had writ those Words Now Tho. Bye hath since this Paper was published declared in the presence of several Persons that T.P. did not speak nor mention the Word Imputation before he writ those Words so that the World may see that he hath abused his Witness And for his saying The Quakers no Christians still made good is another of his Lies and the contrary doth appear not only in Word and Doctrine but in the Lives and Conversations of those who are faithful to the Quakers Principle the Light of Christ Jesus manifested in them whose Light is the Condemnation of the Evil doer and the Evil-doer cannot escape the Condemnation of it But Tho. Powel having now in print declared that he meant by Imputation then we must read his VVords thus I Thomas Powel Minister of the Gospel affirms Jesus Christ was the greatest Sinner in the World by Imputation Now T. P. with the rest of the Divines of thy VVay give us plain Scripture that saith Jesus Christ was by Peter Paul or any of the Ministers of the Gospel affirmed to be the greatest SINNER in the VVorld by Imputation and give us plain Scripture that saith he took the Guilt of our Sins upon him for though it is said Isa 53.6 That he laid upon him the Iniquity of us all or as the Hebrew VVord hath it He made the Iniquities of us all to meet on him or as in the 10th verse it is said He was made an Offering for Sin it doth not say he was guilty of Sin Now T. P. give us a plain Scripture that saith Jesus Christ by taking bearing or suffering for Sinners that he became guilty of Sin and that he was the greatest of Sinners and give us a plain Scripture that saith he hath more Sins to answer for then any particular Sinner for though I have read of the Sins of David whom I suppose you do believe was an Elect Person whose Sins were as in Scripture recorded Murder and Adultery yet I do not find by any Testimony of Scripture that Jesus Christ was guilty of David's Sins nor of Paul's Sins who was a Persecutor of him in his Members nor of Peter's Sin who denyed him And T. P. I query with thee whether thou be an Elect Person or nay if yea then tell me whether Jesus Christ be guilty of thy Lies some of which are hereafter mentioned viz. T. P affirmed that he had writ the Word Imputation but the Original being shewed his Lye appeared and then he said He had writ the Word Imputation but that John Vaughton snatcht the Paper from him and this also was and is testified to be a Lye Now it is also to be considered that William Farrendine one of T. P's Divines said that it was wicked men that imputed Jesus Christ to be the greatest Sinner in the World and that when he had seen what T. P. had writ he said he was a Lyar for said William Farrindine he told me the Word Imputation was in and he said he would not stand by him for Ten Thousand Worlds and that he should not preach in his Meeting House till he had publickly condemned it but notwithstanding his Sayings and fair Pretences he hath permitted T. P. who hath affirmed Jesus Christ to be that which he saith Wicked men imputed him to be to preach in his Meeting-House without numbering him amongst wicked men So it appears plainly notwithstanding the specious Pretences of Tho. Powel who calls himself Preacher of the Gospel he hath not yet left off Lying nor forging of Lies A Copy of those Words in which William Farrindine is made mention of was shewed unto him and he confessed unto the Truth thereof and further said T. P. had told many Lyes about this thing So I have considered T. P's Paper and perused the Scriptures therein cited and they do not say nor allow that Jesus Christ took the Guilt of Sin upon him nor that he had more to answer for then any particular Sinner or that be was the greatest of Sinners but give a plain and evident Testimony to the Innocency and Purity of Christ Jesus and to the Love of the Father manifested in and through him who gave himself for us that he might redeem us from all Iniquity and purifie unto himself a Peculiar People Zealous of Good Works Tit. 2.14 And so T. P. thou hast not yet cleared thy self of thy Blasphemous Expression or Position as thou calls it which was by thee affirmed And T. P. notwithstanding thou hast been exhorted to Repentance yet thou hast gone on and persisted in preaching and telling Lyes unto the People and saying The Quakers own Jesus Christ only as an Example and deny him to be an Offering for Sin or a Propitiation for Sin for which Lyes and Slanders with many more that have and might be mentioned God's Hand will meet with thee and if thou Repent not will certainly appoint thee thy Portion with the Father of Lyes in the Lake that burns with Fire and Brimstone and therefore this is sent as a Warning unto thee in the Name of the Lord and in Good will to thy Soul that thou no longer make Lyes thy Refuge and that thou no longer sell nor give thy Lyes and false Conceivings unto
