A89827	An answer to the booke called The perfect Pharisee under monkish holinesse: wherein is layd open, who they are that oppose the fundamentall principles of the doctrine of the Gospel, and the scripture practises, which the authors of that book would cast upon those they call Quakers, but are found to be themselves; who appear to be no ministers of the Gospel, but walke contrary to all that ever Christ sent forth in the scripture, scorning them who live the life of the scriptures, or are brought into the obedience of the same spirit. Published for no other end but to cleare the truth from the slanders of these men, who thereby goe about to deceive the simple, and keep them off from obedience to the truth. By one whom the world calls, James Nayler.	Naylor, James, 1617?-1660.	1654 (1654)	Wing N261; Thomason E735_2; ESTC R206955	29,772	36

and for being Heingathen that is your owne vvho exercise authority over your owne hearers and pleade for your Heathenish customes vvhereby it appears ye know not God And vvhereas ye charge us with crying up our own holinesse and our selves as extraordinary Prophets Rabbies and Doctors I answer It is false for it is Christs holinesse vve owne and Christ the everlasting Prophet and Priest vve owne vvhereby vve deny ye vvho goe under the namy of Rabbies and Doctors And vvhereas ye charge us with neglect of Apparell Fasting and seperating from the world I answer What Apparell doe vve neglect saving the pride and vanity vvhich you live in and vve are made to vvitnesse against for vvhich you hate us And for Fasting and seperating from the World for shame doe not professe your selves to be Christians vvhile you cast the commands of Christ and practice of the Saints upon us in scorne and derision Did not Christ command to forsake the World and vvas not the Apostle in Fasting often but you shew your selves not to be guided by that spirit but envie them vvho are And ye that scorne Visions and Revelations are ignorant of that by vvhich the Saints came to know God for no man knowes God but by Revelation Whereas you charge us with laying the weight of our justification upon outward observances I answer It is false for the vveight of our justification is layd upon Christ in us the hope of glory Whereas ye say Ye have not been injurious to ●● in calling us Papists Monkes and Fryars I answer The injury vvill be to your selves for vve rest in patience vvhile vve see the Scripture fulfilled vvhich saith They shall cast out your names as evill and shall speake all manner of evill of ye falsely for my names sake which we beare with patience as owning it to be our portion from that Generation And now let every honest heart who reades these two Books and knoweth our practice and seeth the multitude of lyes and slanders cast upon us judge whether ye have done this from an honest principle and the establishing of the Faith or with an intent to slander us and make the truth odious because we have been brought forth as witnesses against your unrighteous practises and we leave it unto the righteous Judge who is the searcher of all hearts to cleare the innocent in his ow●e time and will and to find out the guilty and discover him that simple soules may be no longer deceived through false glosses and the subtilty of crafty men of corrupt minds for their owne ends which we know is the worke of the Lord that he is about and therefore with patience we waite his time into whose hands and keeping we commit our selves and all the faithfull of the Lord who is a sure refuge to the truth To whom be all glory and holy prayses from all that know him for evermore Amen And now a word to ye five who have subscribed this Booke that yee may see by what spirit yee are carryed on to utter so many untruths and false reports taken up by heare-say without any ground at all and divers things out of Books which you cannot be ignorant how ye have on purpose wrested to slander withall that if there be any Principle of honesty in any of you yee may repent before the Lord and that it may not be layd to your charge at the great day when all hearts shall be layd open But in the meane time this I know that what ye have intended against the truth and to keep off the simple from owning of it shall by the wisedome of God so lay open your deceit and envy that it shall advance the truth in the sight of every simple heart which if the truth may but be exalted and my Father thereby honoured it is nothing to me how vile I seeme before men and therefore in peace I rest giving my selfe to the will of God and what I have Written to be judged by all the Children of the light which is not my owne but his from whom I have received it who will defend it against all the wilde Beasts of the World and whom he will shall profit by it And so I rest a Servant of the Truth knowne to the World be the Name of James Nayler A Word to all those who live after their own wills that they may be Witnesses against themselves that they are Persecuters and may reade their Cloud of
