A66719	The chasing the young quaking harlot out of the city, or, A turning the Quakers dark side into the light wherein is plainly discovered a twofold design against the publick peace, the one by their doctrine, the other by their sword : with an answer to E. B. Salvation to his brethren : the Quaker founded out of his lying trumpet : with seven special marks to know the quaking harlot from the other harlots : also certain queries sent to I. Lilburn, in order to prove his resurrection to be but a meer imagination, and quaking delusion : together with a certain rule to know whether the Quakers doctrine be a new dispensation of Gods, or a fiction out of a Quakers brain / by Thomas Winterton.	Winterton, Thomas.; Burrough, Edward, 1634-1662.	1656 (1656)	Wing W3092; ESTC R7741	12,637	19

his words are these in the 37. page Make Warre in righteousness and prepare your selves to do his service let not your hands be slack neither be you sloathful in our Lords design but wound the head of your enemies and manage Warre against God and Magog throughout all Generations ride on and prosper and tread down the fenced Cities and enlarge your Dominion and let the Children of strangers of the Seed of Esau be your slaves and bond-men and fill the Earth with your presence And in the 39. page O Sion thou art prepared of thy God to beat the Mountains to dust thou art fitted for his service to thresh the Hills Make no tarrying but come away spread thy self into every corner of the Earth for the upright thirst for thee And in the 40. page for thy God hath given thee an Instrument with teeth to beat the Rocks to powder he is not wanting to thee in power and wisdom thou Son of his love give up give up to obey his voice and love not thy life unto death till the Seed of thy Inheritance and the blood of thy chosen be revenged upon the head of Jezabel who hath slain thy Elect in all Generations and nourished her self with the blood of the Innocent call upon thy God and awake him to revenge to smite and to slay thy adversaries and to consume their Habitation from off the Earth who have been too strong for thee why shouldest thou not come forth in the power of thy judgements to judge the Earth in righteousness and exalt thy name in glory Now for as much as I have not an infallible spirit infallibly to interpret what may be intended in these revengefull expressions notwithstanding my Imaginary faculty might find ground enough of bad consequence in them yet I shall leave them to better judgements and take the boldness to inquire 1. Whether Edward Burrough doth mean Gog and Magog mentioned in Scripture so far remote and unknown and the Sons of Esau so long agoe dead or whether he means those to whom he directs his Controversie specified in the said book the which is all those that opposeth Quaking 2. Whether Gog or Magog or the Turk or any Heathen could go much further in revengful expression then E. B. doth against those he intendeth in the said Book notwithstanding he hath formerly taught it was of the Devil and to condemnation 3. Whether Mahomet when he was of the Quakers age the which is under seven years was not as unlikely to be numerous as the Quakers are 4. Whether the Turk's people do not ignorantly believe that Mahomet was a true Prophet sent from God and what he spake was infallibly true and whether he did not promise all that would believe and obey him that they should have a glorious being after this life with many fair women and those that would hazard their lives for the inlargment of his Dominions should enjoy all his promises and whether this conceit did not so animate them that they feared no enterprise and whether this was not a great means of their prevailance 5. Whether if the Quakers should grow considerable in the so deluding the people that they should not trust their own understanding but wholly rely upon the infallibilities of these Teachers whether these people thus believing will not be more readie to obey them then to experiment the lawfulness of their command 6. Whether the Turks had not a better ground for their Faith that Mahomet was a true Prophet in that he did such things as none did as the Quakers in believing Naylor and Burrough that can do no more then every one can do except out-facing 7. Whether it be subsistent to the well-being of a Common-wealth to harbour such Opinions without security as shall directly lead to the disturbance thereof An Answer to Edward Burroughs Salutation to his Fellow-Quakers sounding out of his lying Trumpet O How hath Satan filled thy heart and with what power of imagination hath he possest thee that thou should'st thus exalt thy self like an Eagle as if thy nest were in the Stars Knowest thou not that the try umphing of the Wicked is short and the joy of the Hypocrite but for a moment And that the Lord hath a controversie with the proud look and the lying tongue of both thou art extreamly guilty as doth plainly appear in that thou condemneth all the people in the world to be all under the condemnation of the wrath of God and then proudly presumeth that thou and thy fraturnity the Quakers are the onely people the Lord delights in And thus thou makest the poor ignorant people glad with thy lyes the which thou tellest both against God and Man O thou proud presumptuous ambitious Quaker where is thy original or from whence was thou hewen but out of a haughty proud imagination thou art not yet seven years old and are thou the onely people of the whole Creation in the favour of the Almighty Had he no people before thou appearedst Or did he cast them all away to take the high presumptuous Quaker Sure the youngness of thy years maketh thy Impudence a miracle therefore woe be to them that live to see thee prosperous to a manly age Again from what Original dost thou draw thy Opinions for from the Scripture thou dost not for thou deniest the worship of the Scripture and the Faith of the Scriptures and the obedience First Thou deniest all matter and form of woship and where there is neither of these there neither is nor can be any manner of Worship Secondly You deny the Faith of all the Saints and people of God in the Scripture for James Naylor in the 62. pag of his Love to the Lost denies that to be the Faith of Christ that doth not set men free from sin while they liveth Now in the same page upon another occasion he citeth the 1 Cor. 15. and he saith the Apostle speaks plain words to that purpose now the same Apostle in the 7. of the Rom. from the 14. to the end of the Chapter-speaks as plain words to this purpose namely that when he writ that Epistle he had sin in him and yet at this time he was possessed of the Faith of Jesus Christ to salvation in as great a measure as any ever had is clearly proved in Scripture And 1 Joh. 1.8 as plainly saith If we say we have no sin we deceive our selves and there is no truth in us Thirdly Thou deniest the obedience of the Scripture in that thou deniest actual obedience yea and the authority of the Scripture too for whereas the authority of the Scripture both in the New and Old Testament is full of Laws Statutes and Command if there is no actuall obedience then they are but as common History therefore thou being opposite to the Scriptures Worship Faith and Obedience let us examine how they own thy Opinions 1. Where it can be proved that that Light whereby Christ lighteneth every one that comes

as an executioner putteth the body in action even as an artificial light take a Candle into a dark Room its nature is to discover what is in that Room but if you light a hundred Candles they will not remove any thing in that Room And therefore if the Quakers will have their Disciples purged they must seek something else for light will not do it an to they are all still in their abominations and that the reasons why Naylor is not ashamed to put to print such notorious abominable lyes and Burrough outstrips the Heathen in revengeful expressions against all but his own fraternity quite contrary to what he had taught and therefore the lesse is the wonder though they do outstrip all false Prophets and deceivers seeing they are setting up the greatest abomination that ever was before them Howsoever I cannot but take notice of the subtilty of this young Harlot who puts one pure truth among three erors as a bait to insnare the poor ignorant people withall and therefore for as much as I intend to chase their Harlot through all their muses I will lend her so much favour as to presuppose that light doth cleanse and purifie Yet do I deny that light or any thing within man or without him doth or ever did so cleanse purifie and make perfect the Sons of men as that it were safe convenient to allow them no other guid or director but the dictate of their own light and spirit within them and that ever any of the dear Servants of God were justly capable of such a condition their own compliance witnesse the contrary yea Adam in his chiefest purity was short of this capacity And therefore to strip this young Harlot out of her pretences I shall open this word Perfection and shew what it is and where it lieth what imperfection is and from whence it ariseth for herein lieth the strength of their delusion First Perfection is a fulness in the mind and appetite of the Creature whereby it can comfortably subsist without supply to either Secondly imperfection is an emptiness in the mind and appetite of the Creature so that it cannot comfortably subsist without supply to either If Adam had been created in the first he had not sinned because mans sin ariseth from his enordinatings acting and desiring to satisfie the emptiness of his mind and appetite so he could not have fulfilled the end for which God made him for the which was to dresse the Garden for labor in it self being burdensome and emptiness is the only provocation thereunto for the sweetness of the morsel sets an edge upon industry when the full loatheth the Hony-combe But the Lord created Adam to dresse the Garden and in order thereunto he was made subsistent by supply the which he at once thought to satisfie and therefore was easily perswaded seeing the apple good to satisfie his appetite and to be as good to satisfie the ambition of his mind he by his acting and desiring enordinately that is quite contrary to what the Lord commanded purchased defilement to him and his posterity for ever But if Adam had been a Quaker and God had left him to their claim that it is to walk by that light within him If Adam had set fire of all the Trees in the Garden as well as eat the fruit of one he had not sinned he doing it from the dictate of that light the which was allowed him for his guid wherefore seeing the Quakers cannot prove that that light within man or any thing else either within him or without him doth reconstitute man into a more pure and perfect estate and condition then God ever intended to create man in the which is unpossible then is it easie to prove that the Quakers Doctrine doth unavoidably lead to the utter desolation of the whole Creation Their Doctrine being that all they believe in that light wherewith Christ lighteneth every man that commeth into the World the Scripture is now no guid for him to walk by nor nothing else without him but only that light within him 1. Now suppose a City a Kingdom or the whole World should embrace this Doctrine suppose the whole World were as pure as Adam was in Paradise 1. Whether every one would not be as ready as Adam was to lay hold of what he apprehended would best satisfie his empty hand and appetite yea much more readier when they have allowance so to do and that they may do it without sin being free from Law and power of penalty 2. And whether it might not be expected that the generality of the Sons and Daughters of men if not all would not improve and put in exercise their chiefest strength to procure their best contentment And now seeing this is our Quakers Paradise to turn sin our of the World by making all Laws useless let all wise and prudent people consider whether he that had a coat to day might not want one to morrow and he that had bread to day might not be uncertain when he should have any bread again for who would give his mind or be industrious when all he laboured for might be justly taken from him yea whether man would not be quickly made more miserable then the beast of the field for as he would soon be brought to eat grass as an Oxe yet in Winter if he would eat hay he might starve before he could have it for who will provide it since none knows who shall enjoy it The second design is gathered from the revengfull spirit that appeareth to be in these Quaking Prophets manifested in Edr. Burroughs Salutation to his Brethren the Quakers wherein be doth sufficiently discover his imperfection in changing from one thing to another For about two years ago in his Exercist in Whitecros street he declared to the people that those that believed in that light with which Christ lighteneth every one that cometh into the World that Light doth break and consume all Carnall I ust and selfish desires whatsoever and purifieth the heart so that they cannot sinne and that all strife and contention and revenge was of the flesh and of the Divel and were to condemnation But now in his book entituled A feigned Trumpet of the Lord sounded out of Sion after he had judged condemned sentenced all Degrees and Religions that he knew of to be all under the high displeasure of God But to his Confederates the Quakers he salures them relling them That they are the Lords chosen ones out of the Earth to place his Name among them And having with these high conceits filled up four pages he plainly discovers a German spirit that as he had cryed down the World and Worldly things together with all strife and contention and revenge to be carnal and of the Devil and unto condemnation he hath in this small moment of time by his infallible spirit turned all these vices into vertues so that now the whole World is become little enough for their Dominions
