A78608 The deceived, and deceiving Quakers discovered. Their damnable heresies, horrid blasphemies, mockings, railings, unparallel'd deceit, and dishonestly laid open. In the discovery of which, is made known the pure use of the holy scriptures (which by them is denyed) the true Christ, and how he justifies, his second coming proved not to be already (as the Quaker affirms) also the resurrection from the dead, and the eternal judgement, and several other particulars that saints are required to be stedfast in. / Set forth especially for the good of those that are called out of the world, into the primitive order of the Gospel, but may be usefull for all people. By Matthew Caffyn a servant of the Lord, related to the Church of Christ near Horsham in Sussex, being an eye, and ear-witnesse.

but unto all that love his app●aring ● T●●● 4.6 8. and the holy men of old dyed in the faith NOT HAVING RECEIVED THE PROMISES Heb. 11.13 Another way I take notice of whereby faith in the true comming of Christ is indeavoured to be at present made void and that is by perverting the signes of his comming into mysteries and so scrues them to be signes fulfilled in them before their conceived comming of Christ but unto you that fear the Lord this I say that there is a good ground for us now to beleeve that distress and perplexity of Nations the Sea and waves roaring mens hearts sailing them for fear the powers of Heaven being shaken are signes of Christs comming as there was for the Saints of old to beleeve that Sion● King even the Lord Jesus should come riding upon an Asse and a Colt the sole of an Asse Zach. 9.9 which even so was fulfilled Matth. 21.4 5. And also as good ground for us now to beleeve that as the lightening shineth out of the East even unto the West SO the comming of the son of man shall be as there was for the people of God in the dayes of old to beleeve that the Christ which was to come should be prized at thirty peeces of silver with which should be bought the Potters field Zach. 11.12 13. which even so came to pass Matth. 27.3 7 9. Also as good ground for us now to beleeve that there shall arise many false Christs saying I am Christ shewing great signes and wonders before the comming of Christ as signes of his comming as there was for Israel to beleeve that the Christ was to be numbred with transgressors Isaiah 53.12 which even so came to pass Mark 15.28 There is also as good ground for us to beleeve that the Sun and Moon shall be darkned before the coming of Christ as signs of his coming as Israel had to beleeve that a Virgin should bear a Son whose name should be Immanuel that is God with us Isa 7.14 which even so also came to pass Mat. 1.22 23. As good ground also there is for us now to beleeve that the Stars shall fall from Heaven before the coming of Christ as Israel had to beleeve that there was a time to come wherein a voyce of lamentation and bitter weeping in Ramah should be heard Rachel weeping for her Children c. Jerem. 31.15 which you know came so to pass Mat. 2.17 18. As good ground also there is for us now to beleeve that Christ shall come in the Clouds of Heaven as Israel had to beleeve that the Prophetical words of David should be literally fulfilled viz. in my thirst they gave me vinegar to drink Psal 69.21 as evidently they were Mat. 27.48 O remember the mystery of iniquity least you dash your selves in peeces against that rock for consider would Christ yea when he made it his work to prescribe the future dangers that the Saints should not be deceived would he I say then deliver these many Signs as he did and intend that they should bee mysteriously understood and not in the least signifie it judge yee that are judicious and consider how this opinion of Christs coming only in men crosses the Scriptures for when Christ comes he comes in glory WITH his Angels and WITH ten thousand of his Saints Jud. 14. And the Lord my God saith the Prophet shall come and all the Saints WITH thee Zech. 14.5 they being first caught up to meet the Lord in the air and so shal EVER BE WITH THE LORD 1 Thess 4.17 BEFORE whom shall be GATHERED all nations and hee AS A SHEPHEARD shall divide one from another Matth. 25.31 32. Moreover then Saints shall bee free from death from sorrow from tears yea from all manner of pain saith the Lord Revel 21.4 yea Saints vile bodies shall then be made like unto the glorious body of Christ Phil. 3.20.21 and they that be wise shall shine as the brightness of the Firmament and as the Stars for ever and ever Dan. 12.3 yet saith Fox Christ is come and he looks for him to come no otherwise but how where and in whom do these things appear O the nakedness of this Dream Moreover when he comes he shall rebuke strong Nations and they shall bear their Swords into Plow shares and their Spears into Pruning-hooks Nation shall not lift up sword against Nation neither shall they learn Warre any more Mich. 4.3 yea he maketh Wars to cease unto the end of the earth Psal 46 9. But doth this O Friends appear and not rather Nation against Nation and Kingdom against Kingdom even as Christ foretold should come wherefore he that shall come will come and will not tarry Obj. Saints are the Temple of God and God dwels in them and know you not that Christ is in you except yee be reprobates and Christ is in you the hope of glory Ans Most true it is that Saints are the Temple of God and God doth now as well as heretofore dwell in his people but Paul that spake these words also saith that Saints are an habitation of God THROVGH THE SPIRIT Ephes 2.22 which saith he yee have OF God and your Body is the Temple of the holy Spirit 1 Cor. 6.19 And know yee not that yee are the Temple of God and that the SPIRIT OF GOD dwelleth in you 1 Cor. 3.16 yet we finde that these WAITED FOR THE COMING of the Lord Jesus 1 Cor. 1.7 and unto that very Church unto which Paul said Christ in you the hope of glory He also saith When Christ who is our life SHALL APPEAR then shall we appear with him in glory Col. 3.4 even when the Lord Jesus SHALL be revealed FROM HEAVEN 2 Thess 1.7 wherefore Stephen though filled with the Spirit yet testified to death that he looking UP into Heaven saw Jesus standing on the right hand of God yet if any man have not the Spirit of Christ he is none of his Rom. 8.9 which saith Christ will not come unto you except I GO AWAY Joh. 16.7 which Spirit the Saints receiving did not declare him to bee their only inheritance but saith Paul the EARNEST of our inheritance UNTIL the redemption of the purchased possession Eph. 1.14 Christ dwelt in them by faith the hope of glory he saith not as the possession of glory yet saith the Quaker Christ is come already in their flesh and hath given them eternal life in possession and is not afraid to say that by preaching of a Christ in Heaven the Devil gets his work done on earth though a Cloud of Witnesses from the Saints of old that witnesseth their faith in Christ that was in Heaven yet did they the work of the Lord opposing the Antichristian spirits though the Quaker to the great abuse of the Scriptures say that such are the Antichrists that cannot confess Christ come in THEIR flesh but of this you shall hear in the next particular The men of God said that Christ Jesus
the words of men but AS IT IS IN TRUTH the word of God 1 Thes 2.13 wherefore the Quaker supposing that God himself in men is their Teacher only erres not knowing the Scriptures for Israel was willing to be taught yet said they let not God speak with us but speak thou with us Moses and we will hear Exod. 20.19 and in this they well said saith God Deut. 5.28 Most true it is that no man can come to the Father but by the Son who offered up himself to death that we might have life by whose stripes we are healed without his blood there is no remission Heb. 9.22 by him also we have access unto the Father who at his right hand makes intercession for us and so he becomes our righteousnesse our sanctification and this Gospel was witnessed first by Christ himself but since saith the Apostles we pray you in Christs stead be ye reconciled to God those that were thus wrought upon through their ministry are said to be the called of Jesus Christ Rom. 1.6 Act. 28.23 and so is made good the words of Jude 3. contend earnestly for that Faith which was ONCE delivered to the Saints Object By this saith Lawson we set the Scriptures in the room of the Father and Son and so saith he deny both Father and Son Answ Many are the shifts of men to race out of the World that esteem of the Scriptures which indeed is but due being accounted by the Apostles HOLY Scriptures in respect of their use Rom. 1.2 whereby is made known the will of Christ in which we walk indeavouring through his grace the honour of the Father and Son which cannot be a denying of the Father and Son but he that hath his eyes closed will say so it is said the Scripture is profitable for teaching correction and instruction in Righteousness and that there ought to be attendance given to the reading of it yet most surely neither Paul that spoke it nor Timothy to whom it was spoken denyed either Father or Son nor pulled off the Crown from Christs head putting it upon the Scriptures as saith Lawson we do yet say no more than they did he most surely is worthy of the Crown that dyed to bring forth a word of salvation for men and that strengthens us by his Spirit to walk up accordingly from whom the Apostles removed it not yet said to men WE pray you in Christs STEAD 2 Cor. 5.20 yea and that from the Scriptures perswading men from morning till evening Act. 28.23 Aaron was to hearken unto Moses who was to put words into his mouth and therein to be unto him in STEAD of God Exod. 4.16 yet neither he nor the Apostles robbed God of his honour he being the original of him and through him and to him are all things to whom be glory for ever Rom. 11.36 Oh how great are the self-exaltations of these men how doth their arrogancy appear while they so mightily indeavour to destroy mens faith of the Scriptures as being adiscovery of the Lords will and yet in the mean while furnish the Nations almost in every corner with THEIR SCRIPTURES which is writings calling them a DISCOVERY of several particulars which they publish to men as the will of the Lord as witnesseth Deusburys book which he calls a discovery of mans return to his first estate with a discovery of Mystery Babylon Martha Simmons also speaks something in discovery of the nakednesse of all professions c. Farnworth also hath writ that the Truth might be cleared and the ignorance both of Priest and people might be discovered What! O friends may men know from their writings and yet not from the holy writings which were written for that very end that the CERTAINTY of the Lords will might be known Luk. 1.3 4. and that men MIGHT beleeve Joh. 20.31 God forbid Object Also I deny the Spirit saith Lawson in his book in saying that by the Scriptures is made known or revealed the will of Christ because the Spirit searches all things yea the deep things of God Answ There is indeed such words spoken by Paul 1 Cor. 2.10 but Lawson waiting so much upon the darkness within him hath wrested the Scripture and so himself is found unlearned 2 Pet. 2.16 though he hath talked so much of the tongue of the learned for the Apostle in the words before saith that eye hath not seen nor ear heard c. the things which God hath prepared for them that love him but God saith Paul hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit that is them things which God hath prepared for those that love him wherefore he saith vers 12. that we might know the things which are freely given to us of God wherefore most plainly will it appear to him that searches that the Apostle THERE speaks not of the Spirits revealing the duty of man but rather of the great glory and reward that is the portion of them that walk up in their duty though it is not to be denyed but rather witnessed by experienced souls that the Spirit doth teach them manisesting and laying open particularly the corruption of the heart which is but in general heads signified in Scripture and not only so but also mortifies the same Rom. 8.13 and also beareth witness with our spirit that we are the children of God verse 16. 〈◊〉 so are we sealed with the holy Spirit of promise Ephes 1.13 moreover by the Spirit is revealed and clearly made known those particulars which are obscurely signified in the Scripture Ephes 3.5 6. which things together with the revelations of the future glory the naturall man receives not for they are foolishness unto him wherefore he is required in the first place to repent and be baptized for the remission of sins and then is he under the promise of the holy Spirit Act 2.38 through which he may discern these things for they are spiritually discerned Object The manifestation of the Spirit is given to every man to profit withall but by reason of darkness it is not comprehended Answ Christ the true Light speaks otherwise saying that the World CANNOT RECEIVE the Spirit wherefore though the Spirit be a Teacher as aforesaid yet it is to be considered that the promise thereof so as to dwell in men is to such as yeeld obedience to that self-denying Doctrin of repentance and are not ashamed of those ordinances that belong to penitent men wherefore saith the Apostles God hath given the Spirit to them that OBEY him Act. 5.32 and those that say God hath given him also to disobedient men as a dweller in them doth make the Apostles words of no effect if the Spirit dwel in every unbeleeving man what meaneth Paul when he asked the Disciples whether they had received the Spirit SINCE they beleeved moreover when they signified their ignorance saying we have not so much as heard whether there be any holy Spirit Paul did not as we find tell them that they were mistaken
espoused Christ the Lord and so came to change the Ordinances and yet she pretends to be the Spouse of Christ and so hath a shew of all the Ordinances or the names of them for Beleevers Baptism she hath Infants baptism or sprinkling and for laying on of hands she hath Confirmation or Bishopping but the Presbyters have left this out and in this they are neerer Antichrist than the Lord Bishops and for breaking of Bread or the Lords Suppor that is in Part ministred to the People or Parish and so to the wrong subject being not penitent nor Baptised persons and instead of the true Call of her Ministry she hath a Human way as hath been shewed which is not mentioned in Scripture and so Tithes and forced maintenance instead of that which is to be by free gift and instead of singing with the spirit and with the understanding also 1 Cor. 14. 15. they have singing in Rime in a Carnal formal way many together without understanding the Psalms being collected into English Meeter by Thomas Sternhold John Hopkins and others and so she hath a glorious Show and a golden Cup and through the Popes Supremacy and the Peter-pence and Prayer to Saints and false Doctrin of Purgatory and such like trumpery the Clergy is very rich and proud and covetous and so all may see the way of the Whore which is National Generational Fleshly Carnal Human after mens Traditions making voyd the Commandements of God through her Traditions thus she goeth a whoring after her own inventions and so you have a brief discovery of the Whore of Babylon which is the Mother of abominations of the earth and is drunken with the blood of Saints and with the blood of the Martyrs of Jesus Rev. 17 5 6. and that is and will be the cause of her Fall and that brings mee to the second thing even the Fall of this Whore of Babylon and the manner how and by whom And for the clearing up of this First Consider that this woman sits upon a scarlet-coloured beast full of the names of Blasphemy which had seven heads and ten horns Reve. 17.3 now note that five of them heads or Kings were faln when John wrote the Revelation and the sixt was then in being vers 9 10. now this woman the Harlot was to sit upon the sixt head and hath so done a long time and so the beast that had seven heads carrieth her and beareth her up for the Magistrates have supported her all along understand also that the sixth head of the beast hath reigned ever since the writing of the Revelation but now is partly strong and partly broken and that the sixt head is not fallen is plain if you note well for the seventh head when he cometh he must continue a short space now that head of the Roman Monarchy which is in being hath coutinued long even from before the birth of Christ and this the Scripture clea●eth Rev. 17.10 five are fallen and one is and another is not yet come and when hee cometque hee must continue a short space the power of the Pope and his Clergy cannot be the seventh head for that hath continued long Secondly The Whore cannot bee any of the heads of the beast because she sits upon and is carried by the beast that hath seven heads and ten horns So she causeth the beast to serve her and maketh the beasts and the Kings of the earth slaves to her to do her will so then the sixth head of the Roman power is not fallen though it be in part and the seventh head is now arising which will take away the sixth and doth will and must give some liberty to preach the Gospel and to administer the Ordinances in the old way thereof and so the Lord God will bring things to passe for not one jot or tittle of his word shall fall and so in the rising and reign of the seventh head and of the ten horns the Angel shall flye in the midst of Heaven having the everlasting Gospel to preach unto them that dwell on the earth and to every Nation and kindred and tongue and people saying with a loud voice fear God and give glory to him for the hour of his Judgement is come and worship him that made Heaven and Earth the Sea and the fountains of waters Rev. 14.6 7. so the Gospel and the way thereof being preached the Nations will bee enlightened and so God will put it into the hearts of the ten horns or Kings to hate the Whore and shall make her desolate and naked and shall eat her flesh and burn her with fire Rev. 17.12 16. so through the preaching of the Gospel in the pure way thereof the great Whore of Babylon falleth and so the hour of her Judgement is come and to this agreeth that in Rev. 14.6 7 8. which sheweth that after the Gospel is preached to the Nations then shall follow another Angel saying it is fallen it is fallen Babylon the great City for she made all Nations to drink of the Wine of the wrath of her fornication verse 8. much more might bee spoken to this but let this suffice as touching what the Whore is and her fall the manner how and by whom In the next place note diligently what the spirit of Antichrist is and who have that spirit now John in his first Epistle chap. 4. and verse 3. doth declare what the spirit of Antichrist is namely every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God and this is that spirit of Antichrist whereof you have heard that he should come and even now already is in the World Also understand that John did not intend simply the Heathen that never did beleeve nor the unbeleeving Jews which never did acknowledge Christ come in the flesh but those have the spirit of Antichrist that went out from the Churth of Christ chap. 2.18 19. John sheweth them that it is the last time and as ye have heard that Antichrist shall come even now are there many Antichrists whereby wee know that it is the last time THEY WENT OUT FROM US c. so that the spirit of Antichrist is that spirit that is found in them that have been enlightened and have known the truth and go out from the Church of Christ and in a mystery deny Christ come in the flesh and so Paul speaking of the Antichrist or man of sin 2 Thes 2.7 saith the MYSTERY of iniquity doth already work c. and Peter speaking to the Saints saith in his second Epistle 2.1 there shall be false teachers among you who PRIVILY shall bring in damnable Heresies even denying THE LORD THAT BOUGHT THEM and bring upon themselves swift destruction So the spirit of Antichrist denies Christ come in the flesh secretly and they that have this spirit say Christ is come in their flesh and so say the light within them is Christ when at the best it is but the light
