A70157 A just defence and vindication of Gospel ministers and Gospel ordinances against the Quakers many false accusations, slanders and reproaches. In ansvver to John Horwood his letter, and E.B. his book, called, A just and lawful tryal of the ministers and teachers of this age, and several others. Proving the ministers calling and maintenance just and lawful, and the doctrine of perfection by free justification, preached by them, agreeable to the scriptures. VVith the Quakers objections answered. And the Quakers perfection by hearkning to, and obeying a light within them, proved contrary to the scriptures. And their practices in ten particulars proved contrary to the commands and examples of Christ and his apostles. By a lover of gospel ministers and gospel ordinances.

the_o scripture_n they_o do_v not_o hearken_v to_o a_o light_n within_o they_o to_o see_v whether_o they_o be_v true_a but_o if_o you_o quaker_n have_v such_o a_o infallible_a spirit_n that_o you_o

and_o i_o in_o they_o and_o we_o have_v know_v and_o believe_v the_o love_n that_o god_n have_v to_o we_o god_n be_v love_n and_o he_o that_o dwell_v in_o love_n dwell_v in_o god_n 13._o and_o god_n in_o he_o and_o that_o i_o may_v make_v it_o more_o plain_a i_o will_v set_v this_o forth_o by_o a_o similitude_n we_o know_v that_o the_o sun_n do_v shine_v and_o give_v light_a and_o heat_n by_o its_o beam_n or_o operation_n 26._o and_o we_o do_v say_v the_o sun_n shine_v into_o such_o a_o house_n or_o room_n 16._o and_o the_o sun_n do_v warm_v such_o a_o place_n and_o such_o a_o creature_n now_o the_o body_n of_o the_o sun_n remain_v in_o the_o firmament_n but_o its_o beam_n and_o light_n and_o heat_n be_v in_o several_a place_n here_o below_o so_o in_o like_a manner_n christ_n his_o

of_o the_o sun_n be_v often_o use_v in_o scripture_n wherefore_o i_o shall_v allege_v some_o of_o those_o scripture_n because_o they_o do_v fit_o serve_v to_o illustrate_v this_o truth_n the_o prophet_n malachy_n propehsy_v of_o christ_n say_v but_o unto_o you_o that_o fear_v my_o name_n 3._o shall_v the_o sun_n of_o righteousness_n arise_v with_o heal_v in_o his_o wing_n and_o as_o it_o be_v the_o property_n of_o the_o sun_n to_o give_v light_n and_o warmth_n or_o heat_n and_o to_o expel_v mist_n and_o fog_n that_o do_v infect_v the_o air_n and_o to_o complete_a and_o enliven_v thing_n that_o seem_v to_o be_v dead_a in_o the_o winter_n so_o be_v christ_n to_o his_o church_n and_o people_n here_o on_o earth_n though_o he_o be_v in_o heaven_n 3._o he_o be_v the_o light_n of_o his_o church_n as_o the_o prophet_n isaiah_n say_v 22._o arise_v shine_v for_o thy_o light_n be_v come_v and_o the_o glory_n of_o the_o lord_n be_v rise_v upon_o thou_o and_o the_o gentile_n shall_v

say_v that_o christ_n do_v enlighten_v every_o man_n as_o the_o sun_n give_v light_a to_o all_o and_o by_o harken_v too_o and_o obey_v that_o light_n all_o may_v be_v save_v i_o have_v answer_v this_o before_o but_o for_o a_o far_a answer_n answ_n that_o i_o confess_v christ_n do_v enlighten_v every_o man_n that_o come_v into_o the_o world_n in_o some_o sense_n for_o as_o the_o sun_n in_o the_o heaven_n do_v give_v light_n and_o heat_n unto_o all_o so_o do_v christ_n as_o the_o creator_n give_v a_o common_a light_n of_o nature_n 45._o he_o make_v his_o sun_n so_o shine_v or_o rise_v upon_o the_o evil_a and_o the_o good_a all_o that_o common_a light_n of_o knowledge_n and_o understanding_n that_o wicked_a man_n have_v 16._o and_o all_o outward_a blessing_n come_v from_o christ_n 25._o in_o he_o say_v the_o apostle_n we_o live_v move_v and_o have_v our_o be_v but_o that_o christ_n do_v give_v a_o spiritual_a light_n of_o grace_n unto_o all_o that_o be_v bear_v that_o i_o deny_v for_o we_o be_v all_o bear_v blind_a and_o dark_a in_o regard_n of_o spiritual_a light_n 8._o so_o say_v the_o apostle_n 5._o you_o be_v once_o darkness_n and_o st._n john_n say_v that_o the_o light_n
