ANIMADVERSIONS Upon some passages in a Paper Entituled Some Reasons HUMBLY OFFERED Why the QUAKERS Should be Examined By Edmund Elys THe Author of this Paper says That the Quakers Differ from the Christians as much if not more than the Jews I really Pity this Wretched SLANDEROUS Person And I Aver to all the World that whosoever Professing himself to be a Christian peremptorily and obstinately Denies that JESUS CHRIST is the Fountain of LIGHT in the Souls of Men is worse than a Jew He produces this Principle of the Quakers as Dangerous to the Civil Government viz. That their Light within is the Higher Power to which Every Soul ought to be Subject Answ Their Light within i. e. the True Light which they Acknowledge to Enlighten Every Man and Own as Their Principal TEACHER is The King of Kings and Lord of Lords To Him Alone we Owe ABSOLUTE Obedience Our Obedience to Earthly Princes ought to be Regulated by the Knowledge we have of His Will Revealed in the Holy Scriptures which we cannot Effectualy Understand but only by Receiving the Illuminations and Impressions or Motions which come IMMEDIATELY from HIM Who is always as realy PRESENT to our Souls as the Light of the Sun when it shines upon us is Present to the Eyes of our Bodies I doubt not but Thousands and Ten Thousands who have little or no Explicit Vnderstanding of what I Mean by these words do usually or Habitually Order their Conversation according to the Truth which I here Endeavour to Express At this Yearly Meeting says he they virtually tho' not verbally Repeal such Parts or Branches of the Laws as do not Quadrate with their Light within and thereby absolve the King's Subjects if the Quakers may be called such from their Active Obedience to the Laws of the Land thereby causing them to adhere to a Superior Power to that of King Lords and Commons namely to their Light within to which they say all Power in Heaven and Earth is Committed Answ Their Light Within is The Everlasting SON of the FATHER LIGHT OF LIGHT The True Light which Enlighteneth Every Man that cometh into the World To HIM as Made Man all Power in Heaven and Earth is Committed for the Execution of the Office of the MEDIATOR between GOD and Man Most certainly His Power is Infinitely Superior to that of King Lords and Commons But it is an Act of Disobedience to Him to Refuse our Active Obedience to any Law of the Land which we Know or may easily Know that we may Observe without any Repugnancie to the Will of GOD Revealed in the Holy Scriptures He says the Quakers call the Presbyterians Independents and Anabaptists An Ill Pedantick Crew the Bane of Religion and Pest of the World the Old Incendaries to Mischief Answ Those Presbyterians and Independents deserve that Black Character who Justifie those Execrable Sayings that have been Publish'd By GEORGE TROSSE and JOHN FLAVEL Two Non-conformist Preachers of Equal Boldness and Ignorance I desire the Prayers of all Persons that have an Habitual Aversion from All Known Sin that I may be Faithful unto Death in the Defence of this Truth that JESUS CHRIST is the Fountain of Light In the Souls of Men.
