A87231	The Quakers quaking: or, the foundation of their deceit shaken, by scripture, reason, their own mouthes at several conferences. By all which will appear, that their quaking, ministery, doctrine, and lives, is a meer deceit, and themselves proved to be the great impostors of these latter times: / by Jeremiah Ives.

make_v use_v of_o scripture_n to_o exhort_v and_o instruct_v yet_o some_o do_v make_v use_n of_o they_o to_o deceive_v and_o tempt_v as_o the_o devil_n do_v christ_n matth._n 4.6_o in_o like_a

ever_o foam_v at_o mouth_n when_o they_o tremble_v 2._o whether_o any_o young_a child_n do_v ever_o foam_v at_o mouth_n quake_v swell_v and_o tremble_v in_o the_o saint_n meeting_n 3._o whether_o such_o kind_n of_o tremble_v that_o be_v accompany_v with_o foaming_n do_v not_o rather_o argue_v a_o man_n to_o be_v possess_v with_o the_o devil_n then_o with_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n according_a to_o that_o of_o luke_n 9.39_o last_o whether_o this_o be_v a_o good_a argument_n viz._n some_o of_o the_o saint_n do_v quake_v and_o that_o by_o the_o impulse_n of_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n therefore_o every_o one_o that_o quake_v

and_o tremble_v be_v a_o saint_n of_o god_n and_o do_v it_o by_o the_o impulse_n of_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n the_o next_o thing_n i_o shall_v speak_v to_o be_v their_o doctrine_n and_o though_o i_o

these_o man_n will_v allow_v nothing_o to_o be_v call_v god_n word_n but_o christ_n this_o be_v their_o first_o error_n in_o doctrine_n which_o i_o thus_o prove_v error_n 1_o error_n first_o because_o god_n have_v but_o one_o onely-begotten_a son_n jesus_n christ_n but_o he_o have_v many_o word_n that_o he_o have_v but_o one_o son_n jesus_n christ_n i_o prove_v from_o joh._n 3.16_o 1_o cor._n 8.6_o

of_o god_n prov._n 30.5_o every_o word_n of_o god_n be_v pure_a jer._n 23.36_o the_o complaint_n be_v that_o the_o false_a prophet_n have_v pervert_v the_o word_n of_o the_o live_a god_n so_o that_o from_o this_o scripture_n this_o argument_n may_v be_v draw_v against_o this_o error_n viz._n if_o god_n have_v plurality_n of_o word_n than_o somewhat_o else_o may_v be_v call_v the_o word_n of_o

we_o read_v that_o man_n be_v the_o son_n of_o god_n by_o say_v and_o joh._n 1._o as_o many_o as_o believe_v to_o they_o be_v give_v porter_n to_o become_v the_o son_n of_o god_n though_o i_o

christ_n so_o but_o himself_o again_o the_o scripture_n call_v christ_n a_o vine_n a_o door_n a_o shepherd_n but_o will_v it_o not_o be_v madness_n to_o say_v wherever_o we_o read_v of_o a_o vine_n a_o door_n or_o a_o shepherd_n it_o must_v be_v understand_v of_o christ_n their_o next_o error_n that_o i_o shall_v name_v error_n 2_o error_n and_o which_o be_v a_o consequence_n of_o the_o former_a be_v this_o that_o they_o say_v the_o scripture_n may_v not_o be_v call_v the_o word_n of_o god_n and_o in_o many_o of_o their_o book_n they_o blame_v the_o ministry_n of_o the_o nation_n and_o

with_o the_o fig-leaf_n of_o this_o distinction_n viz._n that_o it_o be_v one_o thing_n for_o christ_n to_o be_v bear_v after_o the_o flesh_n and_o another_o thing_n to_o be_v bear_v according_a to_o the_o flesh_n to_o this_o i_o reply_v that_o the_o scripture_n make_v no_o such_o distinction_n for_o when_o moses_n do_v all_o thing_n according_a to_o the_o pattern_n show_v he_o in_o the_o mount_n heb._n 8.5_o do_v but_o compare_v it_o with_o the_o command_n in_o exod._n 5.40_o and_o you_o will_v find_v that_o god_n bid_v moses_n look_v that_o he_o make_v thing_n after_o the_o fashion_n show_v he_o in_o the_o mount_n now_o may_v not_o a_o man_n as_o well_o say_v that_o moses_n do_v not_o do_v thing_n after_o the_o pattern_n because_o the_o scripture_n say_v he_o do_v it_o according_a to_o the_o pattern_n as_o this_o man_n may_v say_v christ_n be_v not_o bear_v after_o the_o flesh_n because_o the_o scripture_n say_v he_o be_v bear_v according_a to_o the_o flesh_n therefore_o let_v i_o ask_v one_o question_n whether_o a_o man_n may_v not_o as_o well_o say_v that_o moses_n do_v not_o all_o thing_n after_o the_o pattern_n because_o the_o scripture_n say_v he_o do_v all_o thing_n according_a to_o the_o pattern_n as_o say_v that_o christ_n be_v not_o bear_v after_o the_o flesh_n because_o the_o scripture_n say_v he_o be_v bear_v according_a to_o the_o flesh_n but_o further_a that_o you_o may_v see_v that_o there_o be_v no_o place_n for_o this_o distinction_n about_o the_o case_n in_o hand_n do_v but_o take_v notice_n that_o beza_n render_v the_o text_n in_o gal._n 4.29_o where_o it_o be_v say_v that_o abraham_n have_v a_o son_n bear_v after_o the_o flesh_n etc._n etc._n sed_fw-la quemadmodum_fw-la tunc_fw-la be_v qui_fw-la secundum_fw-la carnem_fw-la word_n for_o

the_o flesh_n as_o it_o be_v to_o deny_v he_o to_o be_v bear_v according_a to_o the_o flesh_n and_o therefore_o where_o it_o be_v say_v that_o christ_n be_v bear_v according_a to_o the_o flesh_n in_o that_o place_n of_o the_o roman_n before-cited_n beza_n likewise_o render_v it_o de_fw-fr filio_fw-la svo_fw-la facto_fw-la ex_fw-la semine_fw-la davidis_fw-la secundum_fw-la carnem_fw-la so_o that_o these_o man_n you_o see_v be_v force_v to_o take_v sanctuary_n at_o any_o vain_a distinction_n that_o may_v keep_v the_o world_n from_o see_v into_o the_o bottom_n of_o their_o design_n which_o be_v indeed_o to_o deny_v christ_n to_o be_v make_v flesh_n or_o to_o be_v come_v in_o the_o flesh_n for_o be_v it_o not_o the_o same_o to_o say_v that_o he_o be_v not_o bear_v after_o the_o flesh_n this_o be_v the_o sum_n of_o the_o last_o conference_n with_o some_o additional_a answer_n that_o i_o have_v not_o then_o liberty_n by_o reason_n of_o the_o confusion_n that_o be_v among_o they_o to_o give_v in_o at_o that_o time_n and_o lest_o any_o shall_v think_v that_o these_o word_n be_v such_o as_o may_v fall_v from_o he_o in_o haste_n or_o unadvised_o about_o his_o deny_v christ_n be_v bear_v after_o the_o flesh_n and_o therefore_o i_o ought_v not_o to_o insist_v so_o much_o upon_o they_o let_v i_o tell_v thou_o reader_n whoever_o thou_o be_v that_o for_o more_o surety_n when_o i_o be_v go_v away_o i_o do_v ask_v the_o question_n again_o whether_o he_o do_v believe_v christ_n be_v bear_v after_o the_o flesh_n or_o whether_o he_o do_v deny_v it_o he_o answer_v that_o he_o do_v deny_v christ_n be_v ever_o bear_v after_o the_o flesh_n and_o so_o do_v another_o of_o their_o proselyte_n the_o same_o day_n in_o the_o afternoon_n before_o hundred_o of_o people_n at_o a_o private_a

christ_n be_v bear_v after_o the_o flesh_n now_o what_o be_v this_o less_o then_o to_o deny_v christ_n come_v in_o the_o flesh_n which_o be_v a_o antichristian_a doctrine_n 1_o joh._n 4.3_o and_o the_o same_o john_n say_v that_o whosoever_o shall_v deny_v christ_n come_v in_o the_o flesh_n be_v a_o deceiver_n 2_o joh._n 7._o for_o many_o deceiver_n be_v enter_v into_o this_o world_n which_o
