THE Quakers Plainness DETECTING FALLACY IN Two Short Treatises I. The First in Answer to an Abusive Epistle styl'd The Quakers Quibbles and the Comparison therein between the Muggletonians and Quakers proved Absurd and Vnjust II. The Second being a brief Impeachment of the Forger's Compurgators in their Quakers Appeal Answered whose Injustice Partiality and false Glosses have given the chief Occasion of these late Contests By George Whitehead Ye have eaten the Fruit of Lyes Hos. 10.13 Printed in the Year 1674. Unprejudiced Reader IF the TRUTH could have been overcome by Falshood or buried under Reproaches or stopt with Popular Clamours or undermined by the secret Combinations of its Adversaries or supprest by Injustice and Partiality I confess these implacable and envious Men who are chiefly concerned against us would have the Day and their Iniquity been triumphant and remained uncontroulable But such their Weapons and Engines ●●ve not prevailed nor ever shall effect the Enemies Designs against God's Cause or Heritage Had they been Men of Tender Conscience or respected the Honour of Religion more then Interest and Popular-Fame they would not have given us Occasion for these publick Contests neither by abetting a manifest Forger nor by lying Pamphlets or false Relations that they so frequently bring forth and cause to be spread against us But their hard Hearts their fretful striving Spirits vent forth their Envy and declare their Spleen and Ill-will towards us only that they want Power to effect their Revenge upon us to evince this I could give divers Instances that an Inveterate Persecuting Spirit hath long been and yet lives and works in divers of these Baptist-Teachers and Leaders such as cannot suffer Persecution themselves for their Religion but a little Storm or small Gust would blow them into their Holes and Obscurities again and yet they seem to envy the Liberty and grudge the Prosperity of others we have Cause to think that even Ours is as an Eye-Sore to them If they urge me herein I doubt not but I can particularly demonstrate it and in some Measure shew the Antiquity of their persecuting Envy and of late their Outrage is ominous of their Decrease Confusion and Ruin I am sensible the secret Hand of God hath been and is at Work against this Perverse Generation because of their Hypocrisie and Envy against us his People And how do they Revile Infamize Baite and Bark at that Sincere-hearted and Zealous Man William Penn What Libels Pamphlets Books Squibs Cantings Jeers Silly Drolls and Railing have his Adversaries Baptists and their Assistents let fly at him as Men full freight with Envy by all which both He and many more are but the more confirmed against them and their Way resolving if they were otherwise to seek they would never be Dipt by these Baptists into their Spirit Religion or Church Of late I have met with a very partial and scornful Pamphlet styled The Quakers Quibbles said to be set forth in an Expostulatory Epistle to W. Penn unto which I thought meet to write this following brief Tract though it be not directed to me I am concerned for the Truth and People of God being both abused through the Envy and Folly of their Confused Adversaries We find the said Pamphlet subscribed with the Name Thomas Thompson p. 26. And in Conclusion Thomas Thompson whether this be the Real Author's Name some question however some of the Baptists have commended and promoted his Work as an Ingenuous Piece who have pretended themselves ignorant of the Author of it but whatever he be he writes like a Confident Controuler of W. P. and the Quakers and would seem to be somebody but his Complement of Sir and thou Sir and thou c. as also Mountebank Fool c. with much more such Language to W. P. looks but oddly a strange Way of complementing from such a Person as would be thought a Moderator and Indifferent Pen But whoever the Author be his Work will further declare what dark Spirit it came from and that it much resembles that of a Prejudiced Angry Anabaptist only disguised and mixed with a little of different Style and silly Drollery However he and these Baptists that so much envy us and out of their Pride and Emulation would be smiting at W. Penn because of his Testimony for the Truth among us and his Zeal against Truth 's Adversaries they do but strive and quarrel in vain and I must tell them there was a Hand of the Lord in raising him up as also will appear in many more to bear Witness against such a stingy Generation of Hypocrites and Apostates as of late do busy themselves and take Counsel together like malicious Incendiaries against us and their Counsel God will bring to nought and scatter the Proud in their Imaginations yet I have a secret Sadness and Sorrow of Spirit because of the great Loss Declension Apostacy that divers even of these Baptists are fallen into On the former Zeal for Religion Tenderness of Conscience and Desires after an Experimental and Inward Knowledge of the Spirit Power and Work of God that were stirring in many when they were in a Low and Suffering Condition which now they have lost and the Zeal of several turned into Enmity and they grown Cold and Dead in the Earth and Spirit of the World yet there is a Remnant among them whom the Lord will visit and gather out as those other Sheep that desire to return to the great Shepherd and Sheepfold from off those Barren Hills and out of those Empty Professions and Dead Forms and Shadowy Observations under which the Souls of many yet lye starving and pining for want of the True and Heavenly Bread which is in the Father's House G. W. THE Quakers Plainness DETECTING FALLACY Section I. Of the Partiality and Confusion of the Pamphlet styled The Quakers Quibles and the Authors Hypocrisie and Envy WHereas the Author of the Pamphlet whoever he be styles himself an Indifferent Penn and would appear to be a very meek moderate man assuring us he is neither Baptist nor Quaker p. 37. implying that he is an Impartial Person between both But now let the serious Reader consider and judge of this Man's Moderation and Ingenuity who instead of impartially relating Matters of Fact for others to judge of all along bears upon the Quakers with hard Language Jeers Taunts and Canting Quibles comparing W.P. with a Jesuite in his Oration and to a Mountebank or Stage-Player accusing him with Shuffles Railing Clamour less Railing at Billingsgate the Author of a Lye not only a Fool his unjust and us his Friends with Foll Immoderation Rancor Malice Obstinacy Vnreasonableness not to say Madness Passion ●●gling Refractoriness Ridiculous Fanc●●s Weak●●ss Q●●bling base old Way of Evasion and Sh●f●ing perverse Generation obstinately confident and confidently obstinate without Order or Rule Rime or Reason Fools fit for n● Man to dispute with except some of Muggleton 's Disc●ples Billingsgate Rhetorick misterious Subtit●●es
