A30031	New Rome arraigned And out of her own mouth condemned. Containing a farther discovery of the dangerous errors, and pernicious principles of the leaders and teachers of the Foxonian Quakers: which tend to overthrow the Christian faith, to obstruct the Jews conversion, to encourage Mahumetism, and to pervert the right way of the Lord; which whether so or no, deserves the examination and consideration of the Christian ministry of all Protestant Churches, as they tender God's glory, and the good of souls. To which is added, Ten articles of the Christian faith, wrote by Geo. Keith, who was persecuted by the Quakers in Pensilvania for his Christian testimony. The second edition, with some alteration and additions, by Francis Bugg. Licensed, June 18th. 1694.

Deceivers carrying two Faces in one hood looking two ways JANUS like these are Ambodexters and of the World 12. The Quakers who teach that preaching out of the Scriptures is Conjuration are of the World and Blasphemers 13. The Quakers who teach that they have a Spirit beyond all the Fore-fathers and thereby know not only who are Saints who are Devils and who are Apostates but also that none need to give them discerning or judgment in any Case or on any Occasion but that at ALL TIMES they are furnished both with Discerning and Judgment are of the World Deceivers Deluders and Impostors c. 14. The Quakers who teach that their own Books Epistles or Writings are THE WORD OF GOD are of the World and Deceivers 15. The Quakers who require and charge their own People and that in the Name of the LORD to read their own Writings Epistles or Books in their Meetings for Worship and never so much as request their hearers to read any Portion of Scriptures in the said Meetings are Deceivers Supplanters and Deluders These Doctrines I charge upon the Quakers as deduceable from their printed Books and Epistles and from which Errours they can never purge themselves but by unfeigned Repentance and a publick Retraction and Condemnation of the same And 't is to be feared their Pride is so great and that they are so fixed upon their Principle of Infallibility and Perfection that they cannot but will rather strive to cover and gloss over things However I presume I have given a fair Description of the Worlds Teachers and now let me tell you who are the true Ministers 16. Those are true Ministers of Jesus Christ who preach Repentance and Remission of sins in the Name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth and Obedience to the Commands of GOD according to the Rules of the Gospel recorded for our Learning in Holy Writ But E. B. says p. 233. I do believe there was never such a Generation of Teachers as these i. e. Priests are that ever took such wicked courses to their shame says E. B. do I rehearse it Answ This is very uncharitable as well as false in Fact and it looks the worse in that 't is rehearsed by such a Generation of Teachers as are amongst the Quakers who exceed all that ever went before them professing Christianity the Papists ONLY excepted both in Idolatry Blasphemy and Superstition yea and other gross Enormities of which I could give a large List a few for Example sake I shall mention as in the Cage where I have laid Superstition and Immorality together heaps upon heaps plain enough for your view if not I can yet lay these and many more plainer though I delight not in it were it not to humble you and to let you see notwithstanding your proud boasting of Perfection and that you and you ONLY are GOD's People and all besides you of the World Heathens c. that there is cause enough for you to make Confession of your Sins and ask Pardon too I very well know how Retrograde you run and how cross and thwart not only to the practice of the Saints in all Ages but even in this Age with respect to the Christian Doctrine and how you have in little minute matters affected an odd kind of singularity whereby you have separated your selves in Religious Matters as well as in Habit Manners c. As first for any kindness you will not say I thank you but which is tantamount I accept of thy love You will not put the Hat off but nod bow or conjue c. crying out against fine Clothes dainty Dishes lofty Horses Coaches c. until you could get them yea the Woe said you was to such as so did But now who exceed you in fine Clothes except a little Lace or Ribbons which for crosness sake you forbear dainty Dishes lofty Horses goodly Houses brave Coaches fine Perriwigs and what not nay even both Ministers and People witness London Bristol Stoak Erith Northampton and many other places You pretend you cannot for Conscience sake pay to the Trained Solers and yet can pay ten times the value towards the carrying on a vigorous War against France But for the LORDS PRAYER the APOSTLES CREED or TEN COMMANDMENTS not one of them in all your Books no they are too low and mean for your proud Lucefering Minds to teach Nay further as a Fruit of your Doctrine that the Name JESUS and CHRIST do as properly belong to your Believers as to HIM that suffered at Jerusalem you do give the Name of Emmauel and Allalujah to your Children As to Emmanuel it was by the Prophet foretold to belong to CHRIST Isai 7. 14. Behold a Virgin shall conceive and bear a Son and shall call his Name EMMANUEL which being interpreted is GOD with us saith St. Matthew Cap. 1. vers 23. And thus do you manifest your Doctrine by your Fruit as likewise Allalujah an Attribute of Praise due only to GOD as Rev. 19. four or five times mentioned as well as in divers other places yet these Names your chief Leaders have given totheir Children But GOD hath and will stain your Pride more and more and make you at length see cause sufficient to confess your sins to GOD and ask Pardon for the same and that for Jesus Christ his sake who died for our sins and rose again for cur justification as the Evangelist says 1 Joh. 1. 9. If we confess our sins he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness who was the Propitiatory Sacrifice for our sins and not for ours only but for the sins of the whole World who now sits at the right hand of God as an Advocate and Intercessour in the same Body in which he ascended in the sight of the Galileans read 1 John 2. 1 2. Acts 1. 9 10 11. Luke 24. 51. Mark 16. 19. at the right hand of GOD in Majesty on high Babylon is fallen is fallen and is become the habitation of Devils and the hold of every foul Spirit and a Cage of every unclean and hateful Bird. For her SINS have reached unto Heaven and GOD hath remembred her Iniquities Reward her even as she hath rewarded you and double unto her double according to her works in the Cup which she hath filled fill to her double Rejoyce over her thou Heaven and ye holy Apostles and Prophets for GOD hath avenged you on her Rev. 18. 2 5 6 20. 1. HERE lye the Men behold and view them well You know their Names and where they use to dwell You know their Parts you know their Fruits also If these be Saints LORD whether shall we go 2. If not why should you not Confession make And Pardon beg for Jesus Christ his sake Are you too proud or do you still disdain Or do you say such things with us are vain 3. Behold I say and mark the Prophets well They did Confess the Scripture doth us tell Their Sins

the fruit of your doings yet I would in your next have you shew me a Reason why you have not answered my former Queries and Mr. Archer's Query I remember G. F. put forth a Book stiled A Primer for the Doctors and Scholars of Europe c. Anno 1659 wherein is contained Two thousand four hundred thirty four Queries demanding What was a Genitive Case a Dative Case a Participle an Adverb an Interjection a Dipthong a Vowel c. on purpose to bring contempt upon Learning and the Learned as cited in Battering Rams c. I have shewed more at large But O how he strutted and vaunted and boasted like Goliah of Gath saying Come out of your Holes and Dens draw your Weapons if you have any worth the drawing for the little Davids i. e. Quakers are risen who have the Slings the Baggs and ths Stones c. And therefore come forth ye Scholars into the open field there to be tried with the little Davids and let us see if your Tongues can wag c And if you refuse to answer my former Queries yet let me prevail with you to answer these following viz. Query 1. Why did you in your Book The Trumpet of the Lord c. cry Wo to such as were call'd Master and Mistress Sir c. And that drank Wine eat dainty Dishes wore Silk and Velvet that had Waiting-men and Waiting-maids that rode in Coaches and high and lofty Horses c. since 't is now common for the Quakers to call and be called Master and Mistress Sir and to drink Wine eat dainty Dishes were Silk and Velvet and Perriwigs c. to ride in Coaches and as lofty Horses and rich Houses as any Body your Circumstances considered and to have Waiting-men and Waiting-maids Doth not this argue an Apostacy Or is it only lawful to the Quakers and under the woe in others Query 2. Why do you refuse to pay two pence or four pence towards the reparation of the Militia Arms and yet can pay ten shillings towards carrying on a vigorous War against the French King Is not this like your pretending it unlawful to fight and yet excite stir up and incourage Oliver his Officers and Army to fighting saying O Oliver Cromwel thou shouldst have invited all Nations on Earth to come in and joyn with thee Let thy Soldiers go forth with a free and willing heart that thou maist rock Nations as a Cradle c. more largely recited in Battering Rams c. p. 3. Do you not in both these Instances delude the World or like the Pharisees of old strain at a Gnat and swallow a Camel Query 3. Why do you refuse giving respect to your Superiours when at the same time you exact it of your Servants and Apprentices making them stand bare headed before you in your Houses and Shops Is not this Hypocrisie Quest 3. Why do you make such a noise against all other Ministers calling them Hirelings when you take money not only for preaching writing c. but for suffering as in the case of Sam. Cater who took 10 l. for Suffering where he did not suffer 10 d. as in New Rome unmask'd c. p. 60. to 90. Query 5. Why cannot you present to King William and Queen Mary one Publick Address in five years time as well as to the late King James the Second six in four years time Query 6. Since you say That visible Miracles have been done amongst the Quakers in the sight of the World Reply to the Vind. c. p. 14. And since you say We have Thousands at our Meetings and none of us dare speak a word but as we are eternally moved of the Lord A true Account c. p. 18. These two Assertions I further charge upon you to be notoriously false and therein as the Scripture truly says you tell lies in Hypocrisie Query 7. Whether it be not a sign of great Ignorance in your Deciples that not one in a thousand of twenty years old and under can say the LORD's Prayer the Apostles Creed and Ten Commandments and if so whether you do not nurse up your People in Ignorance and thereby manifest your Affinity with your Elder Sister who says Ignorance is the Mother of Devotion And that until you have condemned your Books which call the Doctrines and Ordinances of Jesus Christ the four Evangelists Matthew Mark Luke and John Dust Death Serpents-meat you ought not to be reckoned sincere in pretending that the Doctrines contained in the Bible are holy and blessed Answer these few Queries in plainness and let us know what you hold and believe in these things queried and answer my former Queries also COme Quakers all and answer to my Charge I have not time to draw it out at large For if I had and should the same design For every Errour I could draw out nine Your Books are full and your Epistles all So swell'd therewith even Errours great and small Such as no Sect save yours that 's known to me Afford the like this I do clearly see And could be glad to see you them Retract Condemn and Censure yea with all my heart I have no pleasure them to enumerate But rather mourn for to behold your State And were it not that others might be warn'd And you your selves precaution'd and forewarn'd I silent should remain for ever and Injoy my self in this my native Land Search the Scripture as CHRIST himself advise With reverence and them you 'l highly prise The Prophesies fulfilled you will find Which may confirm and satisfie your mind For they do teach that Salvation's in none So rightly plac'd as in HIS Name alone Who of the Virgin in due time was born Who liv'd and dy'd for Man's Salvation Read Acts the tenth and every Chapter there And Paul's Epistles too which do declare The Prophets too yea holy Men of old Avouch the same it cannot be controul'd Answer my Queries too or you 'l be blam'd As not able or else quite asham'd It is but fit that you should now discover Your Principles and no longer smother Wherefore come out of your closs Dens and Holes Into the Light and not lye hid like Moles Under the ground or like the Night-blind-Bat Avoid the Light this is a dismal state Come forth I say appear in the field Put on your Weapons yea also your shield For shame I say remain no longer mute Nor cowardly or fearful to dispute Remember how you to the Bishops call To learned Doctors yea to the Clergy all For to come forth and meet you in the field As if so arm'd as not design'd to yield What are you storm'd what are you put to flight Or are you weak or are you in a fright Where 's now your Stones your Slings your Sword your Bag Where is your Tongue why does it not now wag Where is your Zeal where is your boasting now What is it lost or do you not know how To answer me or to defend my Charge What

the whole World Thus have you made the Apostles false Witnesses who have charged the Jews with slaying the Lord of Life and Glory As to the Sufferings of Christ the Question still remains unanswered I know you now see cause to say his Sufferings were grievous Sufferings sweating drops of Blood yea great Sufferings Thus far G. W. is got but George you know there is degrees of Greatness there is magnus major maximus great greater and greatest of all Now the great Query is Whether was the Sufferings of Christ or the Sufferings of the Quakers greatest Ed. Burroughs says the Sufferings of the Quakers was greatest And G. W. hath not yet said the Sufferings of Christ was greatest no other word will do I still pursue the Terms of my Query and wait to have it answered but I find G. W. pinched and in a great strait and knows not which way to wind him Condemn Ed. Burroughs's Expression as a Lye that he cannot do for a World for he was by G. W. counted a Prophet a Son of Thunder one in whom was the Almighty Power of God Can such a man lye Can he err No they cannot give Evidence against themselves so not fit to be of a Jury not fit for any place of Trust in Government not fit to have yea and nay pass for an Oath If so then if the Jury be most Quakers they 'l never give it against themselves they are not impartial they cannot be impartial they are the greatest respecters of Persons this day on Earth E. B. has said The Sufferings of the Quakers is greater than the Sufferings of Christ and his Apostles which is horrid blasphemous yea they thereby undervalue the Sufferings of the Lord of Glory and exalt their own as greater Sufferings This they cannot deny nor this they cannot condemn see the Fruit of Infallibility having once spoken whether true or false a Lye or a true Story both must be infallible they cannot retract they cannot confess their Sins to God how then should they retract and acknowledge their Errors No not for a World then down goes Infallibility the principal Studd of their new kind of Popery The Perfect Quaker in favour of their own Books An Epistle from their Yearly Meeting 1675. It is our Sence Advice Admonition and Judgment in the Fear of God and the Authority of his Power and Spirit that no such slight and contemptible Names and Expressions as that faithful Friend's Papers which we testifie have been given out by the Power and Spirit of God are Mens Edicts or Canons with such scornful Sayings be permitted Subscribed by W. Penn G. Whitehead and others Several Petitions answer'd c. p. 30.

Friends to you all this is the Word of the Lord this is the Word of God G. Whitehead's Serious Apology c. p. 49. That which is spoken from the Spirit of Truth in any is of as great Authority as the Scriptures and Chapters are and greater c. Renewed Advice to the Monthly and Quarterly Meetings c. Anno 1693. Dear Friends it 's advised that you be careful in spreading all such Books writ in defence and for the Service of Truth Record this Epistle in your Quarterly Book and sometimes read it for remembrance and notice B. B. The Perfect Quaker's Perfect Contempt of Scripture Saul's Errand c. p. 7. The Letter of the Scripture is carnal and the Letter is Death and killeth and all that do study to raise a living thing out of a dead to raise the Spirit out of the Letter are Conjurers and their Teaching is from Conjuration which is not spoken from the Mouth of the Lord. A brief Discovery c. p. 7. The Priests of the World are Conjurers raising dead Doctrines dead Reasons dead Uses dead Motives out of the Letter which is Death raising Death out of Death Notable Conjurers P. 8. The Commission of Baal's Priests came from Oxford and Cambridge the same poisonous Fountain is filthy the Streams are no better Simon Magus would have purchased the Holy Ghost with Money even the Sir Simons of our Age run to Oxford and Cambridge Babylon's Merchants selling beastly Wares the Letter which is Dust and Death really they are Bloodhounds still hunting and gaping after their Prey like the Mouth of Hell Ja. Naylor's Answ to the Jews p. 4 22 25. It 's Blasphemy for any to say the Letter is the Word of God it is the Devil which contends for the Letter to be the Word of God The Quaker's Refuge fixed c. p. 17. Whether the first Penman of the Scripture was Moses or Hermes or whether both these two or not one or whether there are not many words contained in the Scriptures which were not spoken by Inspiration of the Holy Spirit whether some words were not spoken by the Grand Impostor some by Wicked Men some by Wise Men ill applied some by Good Men ill expressed some by False Prophets and yet true some by True Prophets and yet false c. News coming up c. p. 14. Their Gospel is Dust Matthew Mark Luke and John which is the Letter The Counterfeit Quaker facing round about Quaker's Vindication p. 4. We confess that the Holy Scriptures of the Old and New Testament are of Divine Authority as being given by Divine Inspiration of God c. Count. Conv. c. p. 26. That we prefer the Holy Scriptures before all the Books extant in the World A treble Observation upon a triple Quaker Courteous Readers whether Christians or Jews what think you Is the Counterfeit Quaker sincere Do you believe that he means what he says namely that the Scripturesare of Divine Authority and that he prefers them before all the Books extant in the World If so you may believe Transubstantiation Can you think I say that he believes the Scripture is of Divine Authority when he tells you that Matthew Mark Luke and John is Dust and Serpents-mear and that the Scripture is Beastly Ware that 't is Conjuration to preach out of them that 't is questionable whether Moses or Hermes was the first Pen-man of Sacred Writ or whether either or neither and that what was spoke by good and wise Men was ill applied and ill expressed and what the true Prophets spake was false and what the false Prophets spake was true c Answer me for my part I cannot G. W. tells me I was but a kind of a Quaker and I think 't is the truest word in his Book I think I was not above a third part of

trespass against us No nor yet after that manner for though you must needs know that you are Sinners as well as others and have transgressed the Laws of God in both Tables yet you can neither make Confession of Sin to God nor beg Pardon for Christ's sake which not only shew that you do not Pray after the Manner but that you do not pray in the Name of Christ to God the Father as the Mediator and Intercessor between GOD and Man which is an infallible Proof that as you therein differ from the Faith and Practice of the Primitive Saints and Martyrs yea all Protestant Churches to this day so you do not believe the Doctrine and Precepts of the Bible to be blessed and holy which teach Men so to do which is one Reason Secondly In that you warn charge and command your Disciples to read and cause to be read in your Meetings not only in England but beyond Sea your own Papers Epistles and Books whilst you not only lay aside the Scripture as useless but declare to all the World they are Death Dust and Serpents-meat Beastly Ware and that such as preach out of it are Conjurers Notable Conjurers Thirdly Because you say it's Blasphemy to call the Scriptures the Word of God and yet allow your own Books that Title giving forth That what is spoken from the Spirit of Truth in any is of as great Authority as the Scriptures and Chapters are and greater questioning whether Moses be the first Pen-man thereof Fourthly A fourth Reason is because you deny the Ordinances of Jesus Christ as Baptism and the Lord's Supper which the Scriptures teach saying Go teach all Nations baptising c. this do in remembrance of me c. Which the Apostles Primitive Christians and Martyrs practised who had the Spirit as much as you and witnessed Christ's second Coming as much as you Fifthly Your laying aside the use of the Lord's Prayer both in Manner and Form as aforesaid Sixthly Your laying aside the use of the Ten Commandments Seventhly And the Apostle's Creed Eighthly If you question whether Moses was the first Pen-man of Sacred Writ and what the Prophets spake true or false you I say cannot believe what you question Ninthly You teach that such as preach Christ without and bid People believe in him as he is in Heaven above are false Ministers but the Scripture tells you That Christ is risen and sits in Glory at the Right Hand of God in Heaven above And Tenthly Because you rob Christ of his Divine Attributes and put them upon your glorified George Fox calling him the Branch the Star the Son of Righteousness c. See your Epistle This is only to go amongst Friends largely recited in this Introduction p. 5 6. which notwithstanding G. W's Denial is plainly proved to mean G. Fox yet to strengthen the said Proof see J. Whitehead's small Treat p. 4 5. After these things in the year 1648. God who had compassion on his People did cause a Branch to spring forth of the Root of David which was filled with Virtue for the Covenant of Life and Peace was with him and he spread and shot forth many Branches which did partake of the fatness of the Root and the weary came to rest under his Branches In him also was the word of Reconciliation which turned the Hearts of the Children and the Disobedient to the Wisdom of the Just And in the year 1655. I being a Branch of this Tree meaning G. Fox the life of its Root caused me to blossom and bring forth Fruit for the Spirit of the Lord came upon me c. I say G. F's saying that he rise out of the North was prophesied of c. and the recited Epistle saying O thou North of England who art reckoned barren c. and J. Whitehead setting the date of the rising of this Branch and Star 1648. and that in 1655. he also becoming a Branch of this Tree 't is manifest that what I said in New Rome unm c. p 79 to 87. was not without warrantable ground as by the coherence of their Doctrine doth manifestly appear And since your Books thus interfere let us prove whether they be sincere or which shall we take to be their Judgment in good earnest Answ That they are not sincere I have already given ten Reasons but that I may renew your memory I will add one more viz. In all their Meetings for Worship of GOD they never read one Chapter of the Bible nor one of the Epistles of the Apostles for this thirty years but 't is frequent with them to read their own Epistles as herein I shall further shew only one instance for the present I may recite to confirm you in the truth of their practice and by which you may measure great part of their pretences viz. Several Papers given forth for the spreading the Truth c. p. 60 61 62. Friends to you all this is the Word of the LORD take heed of judging one another To you all this is the Word of the LORD to spread over all I charge you in the presence of the LORD GOD to send this Epistle amongst ALL FRIENDS AND BRETHREN EVERY WHERE to be read IN ALL MEETINGS This is THE WORD OF GOD. G. Fox 1. Pray observe first the design of sending their Books up and down it is TO SPREAD TRUTH and this might be done as well by recommending the reading of the Scriptures or some Portion thereof if indeed they do believe the Doctrine and Precepts contained therein be holy and blessed unless they will say their Books have a greater measure of holiness then the Scriptures which in the best sence they must believe unless they cheat the World most abominably to send them that which they know to be worse or least for their profiting Secondly You may observe what a Charge is given viz. I charge you in the PRESENCE of the LORD GOD to send this Epistle amongst all Friends what to do namely for a Publick Liturgy or Form of Divine Service viz. To be read in ALL MEETINGS Well what Authority had G. F. to impose this upon the poor People namely This is THE WORD OF GOD. Now if they do believe the Doctrine and Precepts contained in the Bible to be holy and blessed why do they not charge their People to read some part of the Scriptures for their Instruction but alas they have disputed against the Scripture being the Word of GOD but now you see they stile their own Nonsence to be THE WORD OF GOD and charge their poor ignorant People as such to receive it and as such to read it and as such to send it up and down into all the Countries and all Places and who dare gainsay the mighty Power of G. Fox Who as Ios Coal says hath his habitation in the power of the Highest who rules and governs in righteousness and his Kingdom is established in peace and the increase thereof is

the Church and the Light in them the Christ this I take to be his meaning And that it may appear so I will produce a Text out of their own Scriptures I mean out of Jos Coals Works p. 332. in answer to John Newman about the Body of Christ he thus expresses himself viz. If by the Body of Flesh that Christ had he means his Church which the Apostle speaks of which was the Body of which Christ was Head and they Members of then I am one with him for his having that Body after his Ascension I never denied nor intend to do And such a Body we own Christ had after his Ascension Thus then it appears plainly that they deny HIM to be Christ who was born of the Virgin Mary who suffered death on the Cross in that they say nothing which was Mortal was called Christ and they say the bodily Garment we can never call Christ And when J. W. made his distinction between Christ and his Body it doth appear by J. Coals Testimony that CHRIST after he ascended had no other Body but his Church consequently did not ascend in His Body which was seen apparently Acts 1. 9 10 11. So that the Light in the Quakers is the one only Christ and the Quakers the Body of Christ And no other Christ nor Body of Christ do I by their Doctrine find that they own and thereupon do Charge them to deny CHRIST who was crucified dead and buried but is risen and in the same Body ascended and in the same Body sits at the right Hand of GOD never more to die but ever liveth it make intercession for us THE Quakers FIFTH ERROUR Saul's Errand to Damascus c. p. 14. Christ is the Substance of all Figures and his Flesh is a Figure G. F. REMARK Reader pray observe First they distinguish between Christ and the Garment he wore meaning his Body which suffered on the Cross which bodily Garment they cannot call Christ. 2. They teach that the Names Jesus and Christ do not so properly belong to HIM that was born of the Virgin suffered c. as to something in the Body the Light c. which they say is in themselves 3. And that the Light in them is the same Christ which suffered at Jerusalem 4. That the Body of Christ is like ours of AN EARTHLY PERISHING NATURE 5. That nothing which was Mortal was called Christ and consequently not HE that was born of the Virgin Mary who suffered on the Cross as an acceptable Sacrifice 6. That Christ hath no other Body but His Church since his Ascension proved out of their own Books which they say are given forth by the Eternal Spirit So that the Light in the Quakers is all the Christ they own and they being in their own esteem Believers and consequently the Church Christ hath no other Body so the Quakers are all and all 7. That the Flesh of Christ is but a Figure Thus have they what in them lye overturned the Fundamentals of Christianity for Christ was so far from being a Figure that all Figures and Types ended in Him and HE the Substance of them all as I shall shew by the Prophesies of the Holy Prophets in two Columns And whereas G. W. in his A Just Enquiry c. p. 2 3. by his cunning Glosses not only vindicates some notorious Errours but also excuses the Consequences of them as not being of a dangerous tendency and therefore rather than to trace him in his crooked Path I shall choose to make it appear that the Fruits Effects and Consequences of these and the like Errours are very dangerous in hopes that as it will tend to strengthen my Charge of their not owning CHRIST c. if any thing be still wanting to prove it so will it be a means to strengthen and confirm others in the Principles of the Christian Faith against the Prevalency of such Seducers as G. W. c. are as by their Fruits do now appear DANGEROUS CONSEQUENCES OF THESE ERROURS 1. Saul's Errand c. p. 8. He that hath the same Spirit that raised up Jesus Christ is equal with GOD. P. 7. And if Christ be in you must he not say I AM THE WAY THE TRUTH AND THE LIFE The Letter of the Scripture is Carnal and the Letter is Death and killeth All that do study to raise a living thing out of a dead to raise the Spirit out of the Letter are Conjurers and their Teaching is from Conjuration which is not spoken from the mouth of the LORD 2.

Lake that burneth and the Pit thou art for to be turned into eternally but thou livest in Philosophy and Logick which are of the Devil G. Fox R. Hubberthorn REMARK Reader Here are some of the Consequences of their erronious Principles in denying the LORD that bought them for after they had erred concerning the Faith and made shipwrack of a good Conscience and denied Christ how soon did they contemn the Scriptures profane his Ordinances revile his Ministers with design no doubt as by the sequel we may perceive to exalt their own Horn. I could not well omit some few of their dreadful Names given to the Publick Ministry in general as elsewhere I have observed But before I sum them up let me add a few more of their Consequences and a little observe what good Names and Divine Attributes they gave to each other for as none ever came near them for railing and reviling stigmatizing and abusing their Opposers as if Hell was broke loose so never did any People exceed them in magnifying each other exalting one another to the Sky nay had they studied many years they could have scarce found out worse words for their Opposers and better and finer and dilicater words high praises and magnifying expressions for themselves and even so they have done by the Scriptures calling them Dust Death Carnal Husk Serpents meat and the like contemptuous Names whilst they have invented most excellent Names for their own Nonsensical Pamphlets and venomous Books fit to corrupt a Nation and destroy a Country as THE WORD OF THE LORD A MESSAGE FROM THE MIGHTY GOD THE WORD OF GOD A LIVING TESTIMONY and a hundred other such like Titles they give to their confused Nonsence to take the eyes and ears of the weak and unstable DANGEROUS CONSEQUENCES OF THEIR ERROURS 8.
