Bugg Senior We acknowledge and believe the Canonical Books of the Old and New Testament to be the most certain Rule of our Faith and that not so much for the common consent of the Church but because of the Testimony and perswasion of the Holy Ghost And we believe that the doctrine contained in the holy Scriptures proceeds from God from whom only and not from men it derives its authority And forasmuch as it is the Rule of all Truth containing all matters necessarily required for the worship of God and our Salvation it is in no wise lawful for Men nor Angels to add unto or take from this doctrine or to change it And hereupon it followeth that it is not lawful to oppose either Antiquity or Custom or Multitude or humane Wisdom Judgments Edicts or Decrees or Councils or Visions or Miracles unto this holy Scripture but rather that all things ought to be examined and tried by the Rules and Square thereof wherefore we do for this cause allow of those three Creeds namely the Apostles the Nicene and Athanasius his Creed because they be agreeable to the Word of God We believe that all the Off-spring of Adam are infected with Original Sin which is a vice hereditary to us by propagation and not only by imitations as the Pelagians assert whose errors are detested by us we believe that this stain of Original Sin is Sin indeed howbeit they that are the Children of God shall never be condemned for it because God of his rich grace and mercy doth not impute it to them but out of his bounty doth deliver them through our Lord Jesus Christ And we believe that Jesus Christ being the Wisdom and Eternal Son of God took upon him our Nature so that he is one person God and man man that he might be able to suffer in soul and body made like unto us in all things sin only excepted so that as to humâ—ne nature he was indeed the Seed of Abraham and of David conceived in due time in the Womb of the Virgin Mary by the secâ—et and incomprehensible power of the Holy Ghost and that in one and the same person to wit the Lâ—rd Jesus Christ his two natures are inseparably conjoined and united yet nevertheless in such a manner that each nature doth retain its distinct properties so that even as in this divine conjunction the divine Nature retaining its properties doth still abide uncreated infinite and filling all places so also the humane nature remaineth finite having form measure and property And also the Lord Jesus Christ when he rose from the dead gave Immortality to his body yet he never deprived it of the verity of its nature therefore we do so consider Christ in his Deity as that we do not rob him of his Humanity We believe that by that one Sacrifice which Jesus Christ offered upon the Cross we are reconciled unto God that so we may be accounted righteous in his sight And we believe that Jesus Christ is conferred upon us to be our alone Advocate and that he commandeth us in our prayers to present our selves to the Father in his name We do also reject those means which derogate from the satisfaction of the death and passion of our Lord Iesus Christ And we believe where the word of God is not received and where there is no use of Sacrameâ—ts we cannot judge that there is any Church for we believe that the Sacraments are absolued unto the word that they may be pledges and tokens of the Grace of God We believe that God will have the world ruled by Laws and Civil Government that there may be somâ— sort of bridles by which the unruly lusts of the world may be restrained and that therefore he appointeth Kings and Commonwealths and other kinds of Principalities whether hereditary or otherwise and not that alone but also what pertaineth to the Ministration of Justice whereof he avoucheth himself to be the Author therefore hath he deâ—ivered the Sword into the Magistrates hands that so sins committed against both Tables of Gods Law not only against the second but first also may be suppressed and therefore because God is the Author of this order we must not only suffer Magistrates whom he hath set over us but we must also give them much Honour and Reverence as unto his Officers and Lieutenants which have received their Commission from him to exercise so lawful and sacred a Function therefore we affirm that Obedience must be yielded unto their Laws that Tribute and Taxes must be paid and the Yoak of Subjection born although the Magistrates be Infidels so that the Soveraign Government of God be preserved wherefore we do detest all those who do reject the higher powers BOoks written by Fr.

Clergy as the fountain of wickedness the issue of prophaneness and the deceivers of the Nation and to lay them open that all people might see their shame and turn from them And now my work I am entered upon is to thresh down Quakerism as the pest of the Nation the fountain of wickedness the issue of prophaneness the deceivers of the people and the broachers of damnable heresies and to lay them open that all people may see your shame and in abhorrence of your abomination to turn from you Come G. W. look for the same measure for you are like to have it heaped thrust down and running over Come George remember your Brother Pen who in his Book The Skirmish defeated c. being told that the womb of Iniquity was in the Quakers Writings said p. 10. He has invaded my body and soul religion and life for I am said W. Pen by my doctrine if the Priest may be believed an Heretick a Blasphemer an Atheist c. And what remains but that the Dogs or the Lyons devour me the Rabble or the Government sacrifice me c. And I pray good Mr Pen what are the Priests if the Quakers may be believed are they not Witches Devils Blasphemers Antichrists c. I say if what you say may be credited what are they good for but the Dogs or Lions to tear them to pieces the Rabble and the Government to sacrifice them saying there â˜ž goes a Witch read Exod. 22.18 which says 't is death here â˜ž goes a Blasphemer stone him to death Lev. 24.16 Here goes a false Prophet who is not to live Deut. 18.20 knock him down thus in every Town where you come to get credit you have invaded their Soul and Body Religion and Life Come smooth G. W. is not this seditious in the nature of it You know Westmorland Petitioners told you so 2. That my shÃ©et delivered to the House of Commons Dec. 1693. was malicious Answ Reader I will give you some account of the reason of it I having occasion to attend the Parliament by way of sollicitation about our Trade 1693. there was every day 4 or 5 Quakers up and down attending also at last they presented a fine smooth printed paper stiled The Case of the People called Quakers humbly offered to the tender Consideration of the House of Commons to incline them to grant the Petition of the said People c. The Petition was to have their Word pass for an Oath that they might be Rivals with the Peers of the Realm But when I saw it and considered how they but a little before had indicted me for printing a Book unlicenced when I was 60 miles off and they got them seized and taken from my Bookseller notwithstanding they frequently print and publish without Licence and also considering how by little and little they are getting ground and knowing what a litigious People they would be if there was not that Barr to keep them out of Government I took their printed fine wheedling sheet and answered it and did immediately deliver the Answer to it to the Members as I think it was my duty and it was as kindly accepted by the Members and the very same day I delivered my said Answer to their Case their Petition was thrown out to the great joy of all Christian People and notwithstanding G. W.'s belying Mr. Goldwell I had his leave and hearty ascent to deliver it and never had of him a word of dislike for all I have writ nor of none such as he was 3. That my Impeaching their yearly mÃ©eting was presumptuous Answ If so But why then did you teach me the way See Burroughs works printed by the order and approbation of Geo. Whitehead Anno 1672. p. 793. stiled Persecution Impeached as a Traytor against God Now all your wilful sufferings for your obstinate disobedience to the Laws of the Land by you are called Persecution and that you have the presumption to Impeach all the Judges Justices and Inferiour Officers under the odious Name of Persecution why may not I for once Impeach you who sit at Devonshire-house to null make void and repeal as unlawful what the King Lords and Commons make lawful at Westminster And whether I be most presumptuous for telling you of your faults or you in committing them for that 's the great case between you and me I will leave the Reader to judge when I have recited the said Impeachment and Proof as in the said sheet viz. The IMPEACHMENT That Geo. White and his Brethren at a Convocation at London the 5th of May 1693. ending the 8th day of the same month did contrive make and promulgate several Constitutions and Canons Ecclesiastical containing in them divers matters and things contrary to the Laws and Statutes of the Realm against the Rights of Parliament against the property of the subject and matters tending to Sedition and of dangerous consequence as may appear by the recited Epistle A few instances thereof as proof I shall recite The IMPEACHMENT PROVED The Quak. Yearly Epist 1693. p. 1. And therefore that all due care be taken against the Grand Oppression and Antichristian Youk of Tythes that our Christian Testimony born and greatly suffered for be faithfully maintained against them in all Respects and against Steeplehouse Rates as also against the Burthen and Imposition of Oaths that Friends at all their monthly and quarterly Meetings be reminded to call for the Records of the Sufferings of Friends to see that they be duly gathered truly entered and kept and accordingly sent up to London as hath been often advised both of what Tyths c pretended to be due and for how long a time and the time when taken and by and for whom and what Goods are taken and the value thereof as well of those not exceeding as those exceeding the sums or quantities of Tythes demanded it being a suffering in both for truth sake they being in these particulars found defective and imperfect in divers Counties which is an obstruction to the General Record of Friends Sufferings c. Observation From whence we may conclude that the main reason why the Quakers refuse to pay their Tyths and Church Rates and other things which the Government calls for at their hands is the Authority of their Yearly Meetings and not Scripture Proof and where is there a Parish in England but feel more or less the sad effects and evil consequences of these their Antimagistratical Incroachments besides it looks very ill and ungrateful to charge the Government with Persecution for Tythes which is a civil right established by Law Yea even in that very Act of Parliament which gave them their Tolleration and which some if not all these Anti-Lawmakers know well enough 't is in fol. 308. thus Provided always that nothing herein contained shall be construed to exempt any of the persons aforesaid from paying of Tythes or other Parochial Duties or any other Duties to the Church or Minister or from
