A77772	Some reasons humbly proposed to the Lords spiritual and temporal, and Commons assembled in Parliament, why the Quakers principles and practices should be examined, and censured or suppressed. As also, some reason why I thus proceed.	Bugg, Francis, 1640-1724?	1699 (1699)	Wing B5396B; ESTC R233986	11,602	2

some_o reason_n humble_o propose_v to_o the_o lord_n spiritual_a and_o temporal_a and_o commons_o assemble_v in_o parliament_n why_o the_o quaker_n principle_n and_o practice_n shall_v be_v examine_v and_o censure_v or_o suppress_v as_o also_o some_o reason_n why_o i_o thus_o proceed_v i._o as_o it_o be_v the_o privilege_n of_o every_o freeborn_a englishman_n as_o well_o as_o his_o duty_n to_o discover_v to_o the_o government_n what_o he_o think_v may_v be_v of_o dangerous_a consequence_n either_o to_o church_n or_o state_n so_o i_o have_v take_v it_o to_o be_v my_o duty_n for_o many_o year_n and_o i_o be_o still_o of_o the_o same_o mind_n ii_o because_n as_o in_o the_o quaker_n ancient_a book_n so_o in_o their_o late_a apology_n etc._n etc._n they_o seem_v to_o allow_v of_o a_o examination_n say_v blame_v not_o before_o examination_n first_o understand_v and_o then_o rebuke_v iii_o because_o i_o do_v not_o understand_v that_o the_o petitioner_n desire_v otherwise_o namely_o that_o the_o quaker_n error_n shall_v be_v censure_v before_o examination_n nor_o desire_v persecution_n or_o the_o alteration_n of_o the_o liberty_n grant_v protestant_n dissenter_n by_o the_o act_n of_o toleration_n iv_o because_o it_o be_v moral_o impossible_a to_o know_v what_o the_o quaker_n principle_n be_v or_o what_o they_o real_o hold_v by_o the_o book_n they_o public_o present_v since_o it_o be_v plain_a their_o book_n carry_v two_o face_n and_o be_v fit_v for_o the_o compass_n of_o all_o occasion_n and_o to_o serve_v every_o turn_n some_o entitle_v this_o be_v only_o to_o go_v among_o friend_n some_o this_o be_v only_o to_o go_v among_o friend_n and_o not_o otherwise_o some_o write_v only_o for_o friend_n who_o can_v read_v it_o other_o some_o inscribe_v with_o this_o direction_n to_o be_v scatter_v among_o the_o ignorant_a simple_n and_o blind_a people_n some_o for_o the_o spread_n of_o truth_n some_o for_o teacher_n and_o professor_n minister_n and_o magistrate_n etc._n etc._n in_o one_o sort_n they_o pretend_v to_o own_o jesus_n of_o nazareth_n to_o be_v the_o son_n of_o god_n and_o redeemer_n of_o the_o world_n whilst_o in_o the_o other_o sort_n they_o utter_o deny_v the_o same_o say_v that_o the_o outward_a person_n that_o suffer_v be_v proper_o the_o son_n of_o god_n we_o utter_o deny_v in_o one_o sort_n they_o pretend_v to_o own_o the_o scripture_n trinity_n i._n e._n father_n son_n and_o holy_a ghost_n whilst_o in_o the_o other_o sort_n they_o say_v your_o imagine_a god_n beyond_o the_o star_n and_o your_o carnal_a christ_n be_v utter_o deny_v and_o testify_v against_o by_o the_o light_n to_o say_v that_o christ_n be_v god_n and_o man_n in_o one_o person_n it_o be_v a_o lie_n in_o one_o sort_n they_o high_o value_v the_o death_n and_o suffering_n of_o christ_n while_o in_o the_o other_o sort_n they_o say_v that_o the_o suffering_n of_o the_o people_n call_v quaker_n in_o this_o age_n be_v great_a and_o more_o unjust_a than_o the_o suffering_n in_o the_o day_n of_o christ_n his_o apostle_n or_o any_o time_n since_o what_o be_v do_v to_o christ_n and_o his_o apostle_n be_v chief_o do_v by_o a_o law_n and_o in_o great_a part_n by_o the_o due_a execution_n of_o a_o law_n in_o one_o sort_n they_o pretend_v to_o value_v the_o scripture_n above_o all_o book_n in_o the_o world_n whilst_o in_o the_o other_o sort_n they_o contemptuous_o call_v they_o carnal_a dust_n death_n beastly_a ware_n serpent_n meat_n etc._n etc._n and_o that_o we_o may_v as_o well_o condemn_v the_o scripture_n to_o the_o fire_n as_o their_o book_n nay_o further_o g._n whitehead_n be_v ask_v whether_o the_o quaker_n do_v esteem_v their_o speak_v to_o be_v of_o as_o great_a authority_n as_o the_o scripture_n he_o answer_v that_o which_o be_v speak_v from_o the_o spirit_n of_o truth_n in_o any_o be_v of_o as_o great_a authority_n as_o the_o scripture_n or_o chapter_n be_v and_o great_a which_o book_n truth_n defend_v the_o quaker_n etc._n etc._n in_o title_n page_n be_v say_v to_o be_v give_v forth_o from_o the_o spirit_n of_o truth_n in_o g._n whitehead_n and_o g._n fox_n jun._n and_o consequent_o that_o book_n though_o but_o of_o 3_o d._n price_n be_v of_o great_a authority_n than_o the_o bible_n all_o which_o show_v it_o moral_o impossible_a to_o know_v what_o the_o quaker_n principle_n be_v by_o that_o sort_n of_o book_n they_o public_o present_v wherefore_o examination_n be_v as_o essential_o necessary_a in_o order_n to_o a_o right_a understanding_n of_o the_o quaker_n principle_n as_o that_o mention_v 1_o king_n 3.23_o 24._o where_o the_o wisdom_n of_o solomon_n be_v manifest_a v._o because_o w._n penn_n tell_v we_o in_o his_o defence_n against_o the_o bishop_n of_o cork_n p._n 38_o 79._o

quaker_n differ_v most_o of_o all_o from_o the_o christian_n and_o yet_o least_o suspect_v give_v i_o leave_v to_o search_v till_o i_o find_v it_o out_o and_o one_a do_v it_o lie_v whether_o w._n p._n

to_o 145._o three_o be_v it_o in_o their_o meekness_n gentleness_n and_o patience_n be_v it_o in_o their_o non-persecution_n not_o give_v name_n for_o or_o personal_a reflection_n about_o religion_n no_o this_o be_v out_o of_o doubt_n no_o mystery_n for_o of_o all_o mankind_n none_o like_o they_o for_o bitterness_n of_o spirit_n for_o hell-fetcht_a name_n as_o if_o the_o fury_n of_o hell_n

what_o then_o i_o answer_v touch_v government_n where_o they_o be_v not_o more_o against_o the_o english_a government_n but_o as_o arbitrary_a in_o their_o own_o and_o in_o this_o mystery_n of_o iniquity_n they_o be_v least_o suspect_v and_o touch_v that_o i_o think_v father_n penn_n have_v speak_v more_o truth_n than_o he_o be_v aware_a of_o but_o to_o particular_n vi_o in_o one_o sort_n of_o their_o book_n they_o pretend_v to_o love_v own_z and_o honour_v the_o king_n yea_o to_o pray_v for_o all_o man_n for_o king_n and_o all_o that_o be_v in_o authority_n but_o in_o their_o contrary_a sort_n of_o book_n they_o tell_v you_o that_o all_o king_n and_o emperor_n spring_v up_o in_o the_o night_n since_o the_o day_n of_o the_o apostle_n among_o the_o antichrist_n that_o they_o own_v no_o king_n but_o jesus_n nor_o no_o government_n but_o the_o government_n of_o the_o lamb_n that_o they_o be_v traitor_n against_o christ_n that_o desire_v a_o earthly_a king_n do_v you_o read_v say_v the_o quaker_n that_o there_o be_v any_o king_n since_o the_o day_n of_o the_o apostle_n but_o among_o the_o apostate_n christian_n that_o king_n be_v the_o spiritual_a egyptian_n oh_o what_o a_o sincerity_n be_v once_o in_o the_o nation_n what_o a_o dirty_a nasty_a thing_n it_o will_v have_v be_v to_o have_v hear_v talk_n of_o a_o house_n of_o lord_n among_o they_o a_o parliament_n
