so was not suoh a Perfect Quaker as W. H. hath said but stumbled at the very Door and VVay by which the Quakers came to know God and Jesus Christ whom he hath sent which is Life Eternal John 17. 3. as I have before shewed And so William Haworth's great Joy Refreshment and Boast of the Quaker Converted is founded upon a Lye which is of the Devil the Father of Lyes which he hath made his Refuge and Bulwork against the Truth and them that walk in it and that he might privily shoot his Arrows at the upright in Heart the Children of Light whom he calls Seducers Anti-christian in whom Satan is transform'd into an Angel of Light with many other envious rayling speeches for which the Lord will judge him But the Children of Light are out of his reach and of all such who in their dark Envy and vain Imaginations seek to devour them and as they abide in the Truth they are in that the Devil is out of and he hath no Power over them and they are armed with the whole Armour of Light against all the fiery Darts of the Wicked Everlasting Praises be to him that sits upon the Throne and to the Lamb forever who is getting the Victory over the Beast and his Image the Dragon and his Floods Whore and False Prophet And Great Babylon is sinking like a Mlll-stone whose Harpers Voice shall be heard no more at all and the Voice of her grinding Mill shall be heard no more at all Glory in the Highest The Day is come in which no Man will buy her Ware any more her Merchants are Howling and Gnawing their Tongues for Pain for strong is the Lord that judgeth Her And God is Confounding this Great City and setting up his Holy City upon a Hill which cannot be hid whose Light is like a Jasper clear as Chrystal And without are Dogs and all Lyars and whatsoever worke●h Abomi●ation and maketh a Lye And her True Light is shining and the Glory of God is arising more and more which shall shake terribly the Earth and the Inhabitants thereof amongst whom the Devil is come down in great Rage knowing he hath but a short time Rejoyce ye Children of the Lord and lift up your Heads all ye Upright in Heart Rejoyce ye Heavens and ye that dwell in the Heavenly Places in Christ Jesus and Praise your God forever whose Power is come whose Glory shines whose Dominion is witnessed over Death and Hell and the Gates of it whose Dreadful Presence is now again known which the Worker of Iniquity cannot endure The Eye-lids of the Morning are unto them as the Shadow of Death Every one that doth Evil hates the Light neither cometh to it lest their Deeds should be reproved This is the Ground of their Vexation and Rage against the Pure Appearance of the Lord But Arise O God more and more and let the Sea Roar and the Waters be Troubled bring forth thy Glorious Work already begun in the Earth and rent thou the Vail of thick Darkness from Top to Bottom which is yet spread over People and Nations that the Graves may be opened and the Dead may here thy Voice and arise and come forth to Judgment let thy Dread fall upon the Heathen round about to awaken them and Exalt thy Everlasting Truth and Name over all the Powers of Darkness that many may be gathered into thy Heavenly Kingdom of Righteousness and Peace that the Poor among Men may Rejoyce and the Meek increase their Joy in t●ee who art the Strength of thy People in all Ages who never failed them that put their whole trust in thee To whom be Everlasting Praises Glory and Thanksgiving from all that know thy Name God over all Heaven and Earth blessed forever and ever Halelujah And now Will. Haworth I would put thee in Remembrance once more to consider this thy Work and the Ground of thy Rage against the Lord and his innocent People and what the Effects and End thereof will be and recollect in thy mind and ponder thy false Charges and things which thou hast written against them in that Pamphlet and see if thou canst stand by them when examined to thy face which thou hast published to the view of many People and let the Witness of God arise in thee and answer for it s of the Deity by which thou sayest the Barbarous People saw that Vengeance was due on Murderers and see if it will not be thy own Portion who art found a Hater of thy Brother as Cain did Abel without just Cause For he that hateth his Brother is a Murderer and we know that no Murderer hath Eternal Life abiding in him 1 John 3. 15. Chap. 2. vers 11. Therefore consider it and see if thy Fruits do agree with thy Profess●on for the Tree is known and judged by the Fruits it brings forth who sayst You eat Christ's Flesh and drink his Blood and that he dwelleth IN you and you IN him too high words for a Lyar and Slanderer and Murderer for such as eats his Flesh and drinks his Blood hath Eternal Life John 6. 54. which the Hater of his Brother hath not nor the Lyar and Railer hath not any Inheritance in the Kingdom of God and of Christ 1 Cor. 6. 9 10. which thou art manifested to be both as by thy Fruits hath Appeared And so thy saying Christ dwells IN you and you IN him will not save thee from the Lyars Portion which is the Lake of Torment which is already begun in thee and the Smoak thereof ascends in this thy foaming out thy own Shame against an Innocent People for which the Lord doth judge thee and it will ascend forever if thou repent not speedily Who art so Hardened to say Thou Testifiest in the Lord that the Quakers Spirit is a Spirit of Delusion and that their Doctrine is Antichristian And callest them Seducers and other Reproachful Names and that thou hast many Ten Thousands are ready to Testifie the same with thee But Thy Lord thou hast manifested whose Name thou art in to be the Lyar and Murderer from the beginning which ruleth in thee as by thy Fruits is evident And we do judge of a Tree by its Fruits as the Young-Man also said whom thou sayst is a Quaker Converted to Christianity as if the Quakers are no Christians shewing thy Envy against them and thy Ignorance or Wilful Blindness concerning the Scriptures of Truth in which may be seen plentifully that God's People whom he hath had regard unto above all People in all Ages were such as Trembled at his Word as in Isa 66. and Moses was a Leading-Quaker Hebr. 12. and Ezekiel was a Quaker see Chap. 12. 18. and Daniel a Man greatly beloved was a Trembler Chap. 10. 11 12. and Paul preached in much Trembling and in the Demonstration of the Spirit and of Power 1 Cor. 2. 3. and the same Apostle bid the true obedient Christians to work out their Salvation

not planted must be plucked up Doth God require Duty to him in that which he will pluck up Is it safe to desire to be Obedient to that How blind are you not to know what this Tree is by its Good Fruits May I not say to you as the Man whose Eyes Jesus Christ had opened did to the Hypocrites of old Why herein is a Marvelous thing that ye know not from whence he is and yet he hath opened mine Eyes And yet you say as to Light The Spirit maketh known Sin when it cometh which is not seen before So then that which gives the Sight of Sin at any time is the Spirit according to your own Doctrine pag. 6. Now how happy would it be in all Christendom yea in all the World if this Good Tree did grow and prosper in and among them all which delivers and keeps from Sinning outwardly and from Temptations from Lying and Stealing and Wronging their Neighbours and which gives Strength and Power to do that which is Good and Just and Right in the Sight of God and Man and gives Peace and Joy and Quietness of Spirit and Comfort in Obedience thereunto Consider it well and see if it be at all like the Cruel Bondage of Egypt whither this Young-man went down for help against the True Light and Spirit of Christ which makes known Sin and reproves it and delivers from it but it hath proved a Broken Reed to him Wo be to them saith the Lord that go down to Egypt for Help Isa 31. 1 2 3. Would not the Fruit of this Blessed Tree heal the Nations and still the Raging Sea of Folly and Wickedness which swells and abounds among them What a Blessed Peaceable Quiet Just Righteous Life would they all live in were they but come to this State Not to Wrong one another nor Steal one from another nor Lye one to another Would they not speak Truth every Man to his Neighbour as the Lord requireth then Surely that which keeps from Sin and Temptations Lying and Stealing and VVronging another would keep them from Killing and Robbing one another and from doing any Violence to one another or Persecuting one another about Religion for here they would be of one Heart Mind and Spirit sitting down in Joy and Peace and Comfort and none would make them afraid VVhat a Blessed Condition would this be Let all People that have any Sense judge And how Aimable and Desirable is this State in the Eyes of many People VVould not these Blessed Promises of the Lord be fulfilled They shall beat their Swords into Plough-Shares and their Spheers into Pruning-Hooks and Nation shall not lift up Sword against Nation neither shall they learn War any more Isa 2. And they shall sit every one under his own Vine and under his Fig-Tree and none shall make them afraid Mic. 4. VVould not this come to pass and be accomplished this VVay let the VVise in Heart judge VVould not Nations Rejoyce and be Glad at the Prosperity of this Blessed Tree And who would not be able among them to judge whence this Tree is by those blessed Fruits it bringeth forth For surely that which will keep a Young Man or an Old Man from stealing the value of a Herring will keep such whose Hearts have been long exercised with Covetous Practices from stealing a Cow or a Horse or any such things or from wronging their honest Neighbours any more as they have done and it will teach them if they obey it to do that which is Good Right and Just in the Sight of God and Man How would the very Root of Wickedness decay and wither Inwardly if all were ceased from Outwardly Would it not speak Barrenness if no Fruits appeared Would not the Devil and his Works and his Kingdom and Authority soon be destroyed and come to an End by this Means and Way Judge you that have Wisdom to count the Number of the Beast And who now is appointed to do this great Work or who or what is able to accomplish it but Christ Jesus the True Light which lighteth every Man that cometh into the World John 1. 9. as it is written of him 1 John 3. 8. For this Purpose was the Son of God manifested That he might destroy the Works of the Devil Mark that And all Power is given to him And there is no other Name under Heaven by which Men can be saved or delivered from Sin Acts 4. 12. For he is the Deliverer which comes out of Sion to turn away Vngodliness from Jacob Isaiah 59. 20. Rom. 11. 26. If ye have Ears hear and read with Understanding And why now should ye thus Blame Reproach and grievously Slander and Envy the Quakers so called for vindicating and endeavouring the Prosperity of this Blessed Tree and Plant of Righteousness whose Fruit would Heal the Nations did they but sit under it Were they but Obedient to this Light how would it keep their Consciences void of Offence toward God and Man as this Young-man speaks of it Hoping to be found in the same himself as his Duty to God p. 19. And yet in pag. 12. he said The Devil had two Cards to play which were Objections against the Doctrine of Christ's making Satisfaction for all my Sins both past present and to come And in pag. 17. The Lord opened mine Eyes and shewed me Salvation by a Person wholely without me And pag. 18. But I found a greater Joy and Peace when I saw Salvation by the Righteousness of Christ without me being a more compleat and surer Righteousness then that wrought in me being hereby delivered from Fear of Miscarriages to the Loss of my Salvation And W. H. saith That the Righteousness of Faith by which we are justified is wholely without us And that the Father hath poured forth all his Wrath upon his Son Jesus Christ Now if this Doctrine were True and Sound Doctrine there is no need to Fear of Miscarriages For there is now Wrath left to punish Sinners if All be poured forth upon Jesus Christ and that Satisfaction was made Sixteen Hundred Years ago for All Sins past present and to come the Devil might play what Cards he will now if this be true there 's no need to Fear the Loss of Salvation through Miscarriages And that was a needless Doctrine of Christ to bid his Disciples Watch and Pray lest they enter into Temptation Mat. 26. 41. and of the Apostle Peter who bid them give all Diligence to make their Calling and their Election sure 2 Pet. 1. 10 If these Men's Doctrine be true and sound when will that time come that VVicked Men will not indure sound Doctrine which the Apostle said they would not but would heap up Teachers after their own Lusts and turn their Ears from the Truth 2 Tim. 4. 3 4. Who among all the Ungodly in Christendom so called would turn their Ears from this kind of Doctrine O ye Daubers with Untempored Morter and Sowers of Pillows under
