A77972	The vvalls of Ierico razed down to the ground. Or, An answer to a lying book, called the Quaking principles dashed in peices [sic]: wherein one called Henoch Howett, which goes under the name of an Anabahtist [sic], doth falsely accuse, and maliciously belye us; his seven principles which he calls ours, I shall lay down, and what we own is vindicated, and what he hath belyed the truth in, is turned upon his own head. / By one who is zealous for the name of the Lord of Hostes, called Edward Burrough.	Burrough, Edward, 1634-1662.	1654 (1654)	Wing B6056A; ESTC R170173	16,554	17

civility and unseemly actions shall stand for thy own condition they are such as thy self who commits unseemly brawling and folly and vain contending against the truth in Glasiers hall as many honest hearted will witness against you and for us who have seen your base actions as scorning and flowting in that place and so here you your selves are guilty of the wantonness which Peter speaks of and of aluring through the lusts of the flesh which thou slanderously would cast upon us and thou further sayest none ever premised to themselves so much liberty as these and the Ranters in being freed from the power and tryal of the Word I answer both the Ranters and thee we do absolutely deny and testifie against you both to be in the enmity against God and against us who are his servants thou before was ranking us with the Papists and now among the Ranters but herein the Scripture is fulfilled upon us as they h●ve done unto Christ so they do unto us he was numbered among transgressors by thy generation of painted Sepulchers and whited walles as we are by thee and all liberty which is of the flesh and to the flesh we do deny as many can witness who are witnesses of our Ministery and again I say he that is able let him try us by the Scripture but thou art blind and hath hardened thy heart against God and hath neither salt nor savory and so is good for nothing but to be trodden under foot And wh●reas thou sayest the Lord bless every one of his from the condition of Chandler who formerly was the head of a Company of Shakers I answer The day is coming when thou canst not fly the wrath of God though thou pray God will not hear thee and if ever thou hast seen Chandler in this condition thou might have read thy figure in him weeping and ●●w●●ng and gnashing of teeth will be thy portion for ever and I say unto the●●●is condi●●o● of Chandlers is not come up●n him because he w●s o●ce a Sh●●e● by the d●e●d of the Lord upon him but because he went out from that condition out of the fear of God into the libe●ty of the flesh out of his shaking and fearing state which once he was in and this he shall witness with me to be true and against thee who would reproach the way of truth by him when the book of conscience is opened And whereas thou further sayest th●ir spirit w●●l perswade them that they are not fallen from righteousnesse and would therefore justifie them I answer We are gathered up into righteousness and fallen from vanity and this the Spirit of God perswades us and witnesseth in us and for us by which onely we are justified freely and not by the works of the law nor by any outward observance and herein thou also art a lyar who s●ith we are fallen from righteousness for even the righteousness of God is manifested to us by which we deny all your carnal outward observances by which you think to obtain life and righteousness Now in answer to thy sixt Particular which thou calls a heavy and sad offence which is a denying honour to men which thou saist is the example of good men to which I doe answer God hath commanded to h●nour him alone and not to bow down to any Creature and thou h●st brought m●ny Scriptures to oppose the command of God and so art more fully made manifest to be an enemy unto him which would plead against him by that which is written from him pleading the example of good men which is no example to us to break the command of God no more then Davids example in committing whoredom and Iosephs example in swearing by the life of Pharoah is an example for any to act those things now and I do utterly deny that any of these Scriptures which thou hast cited will prove and maintain your heathenish custome in your deceitfull way of honouring one another to please the divel in one another which is without the fear of God and it is a sad offence to none but the divel because it weakens and disturbs his kingdome of which thou art as is made manifest who pleads to uphold it from the Scripture but vain honour with flattering titles unto any man we do deny but yet we honour all men in the Lord and out of him we honour none to uphold the pride of man for God will bring it all down and lay it in the dust and exalt himself to reign over you all and whereas thou sayest how far are these men from the holy Writt To which I say and answer thou slanderously would make us to appear odious in the sight of men but all the upright in heart will see thee and thy blindness and ignorance who brings that Scripture where Christ in fulfilling the Law of God which he came to fulfil worshipped in the Temple to prove and maintain the worship of man Answ O you blind Pharisee and perverter of the Scripture God will plague thee thou enemy of his truth who perverts the Scripture to thy own destruction and art worse then the Pharisees who said he respected no mans person and they shall witness against thee and whereas thou speaks of honouring father and mother which thou sayest we deny in this our practice I answer I charge thee to be a lyar for as I said we honour all men in the Lord and directs all children and servants to obey their parents and masters in the Lord and this m●ny can witness for us which have more frequented our assemblies then thou hast done but this we also testifie where the obedience to any man stands in opposition to God the obedience to God is rather to be chosen and herein he that will not hate father or mother for Christ● sake is not worthy of him but thou carnal earthly man is pleading for the Kingdome of the Divel to honour man above God and I say how can you believe that seeks honour one of another your honour and your heathenish custome we testifie against yet unto every ordinance of man we are subject for conscience sake Now to that which you call the seventh mistake affording absolute perfection at one Instant in admitting of none but perfect men into conjunction Answ It is a mistake in thee for such a word never proceeded fr●m us I may say it is rather an absolute lye invented by thee to make us odious then a mistake from us for thy heart is desperately wicked and thy torment is kindling by the breath of the Almigh●y many which have heard us will testifie against thee for we say the Saints have their growth up into a perfect man in Christ as Christ himself had and we say also their is children and young men and fathers as the Apostle said but thou art not ashamed to utter thy lies and slanders which hundreds in this Ci●y will witness against thee for a lyar and even thy light in thy
