WEAKNESSE ABOVE WICKEDNESSE AND Truth ABOVE Subtilty Which is the Quakers Defence against the Boaster and his deceitfull slanders Clearly seen in an ANSVVER to a Book called Quakers Quaking Devised by Jeremy Ive's against the dispised contemptible people trampled on by the world and scorned by the scorners WELL knew the Apostle what he said when he desired the Saints prayers that he might be delivered from Men without faith for he well knew them above all others to be the most unreasonable And the same is seen in thee Jeremy Ive's who having denyed the faith of God which is the gift of God in his Saints and set up a faith of thine own which is not the gift of God and therein hath set up in thy vaine Phylosophy and deceitfull craft wherewithall thou art become so unreasonable as not only to use thy crafty reason in broaching deceitful blasphemous doctrins denying the faith of God once received of the Saints contending against it not to be the gift of God as thou didst at Gerrard Roberts before many witnesses But also using thy craft to reason against the truth of God manifest in his Saints the Light of the world manifest in the world in which all the world may be a witness against thee yea against the plaine expresse words of the Scripture as will appear in this thy Book yea against Christ himselfe who is that Spirit whereby to set up another for judgement as by thy reasoning at Gerrard Roberts before many people where thou said that a man may understand the Scriptures without the Spirit of God and so try the Spirits and went about to prove it with thy cursed art which thing to affirme in plainnesse and truth is to deny the Spirit of Christ for to be the Teacher Judger and Tryer of all Spirits and to set up the spirit of the Devill in its stead for he that tryeth and judgeth without the Spirit of God doth it with the spirit of Satan and with that Spirit did the Scribes and Pharisees who denyed the gift of God as thou dost understand the Scriptures and try the Spirit of Jesus and Judged him to be a Devill and a Deceiver as thou dost such in whom he is manifest for which end thou hast mustered up this heap of filth and lies in thy Book to cast upon the truth and make it odious and the greatest strength thou hast in this thy work is thy vaine Phylosophy and craft with which thou reasons against the Truth both in the Saints now manifest and against the plaine Scriptures Which things may so plainly be seen to be but a heap of subtilty where the least honesty may judge thereof so that there is little danger of its doing any hurt where the least measure of innocency is minded so I shall not much trouble my selfe in the answering every particular of thy vaine stories slanders and lies onely some few I shall speak too as may serve to discover the rest what root they are of Thou commends thy Work to thy Brethren whom thou calls the Churches of Christ called to be faithfull c. And thou sayes thou knowes none to whom thy work will be more welcome I say if they be Brethren of thy Faith who with thee have denyed the Faith of Christ and set up a Faith of their own then it is like that thy work should be most welcome unto such whose faith is to believe lyes for the Devills Faith is most fit to receive and welcome the Devills work And thou tells of raising the siege laid by the Adversaries to your Faith and order I say fitly are these two put together being neither the Faith nor order of the Saints nor that which the Scripture will own neither your faith nor practice And he that is a friend of God must be an Enemy of that which is not the gift of God and that which is not the gift of God being gotten by the Devill That we deny First Thou begins about our Quaking whether we may be so called or no about which I shall not contend what Name we receive from the world whether they call us that which is true or that which is not true the thing to me I passe by onely I mind thee of a lye thou tellest because thou seems to promise repentance being better inform'd that is that we foame at the mouth in our Tremblings in our meetings but to them that are blind thou seems to prove it before thou leave it and that is because it was cast upon us in the Westmorland Priests Petition and we did not deny it though we denyed some other things in that Petition which proofe is but thus much that if I leave any of thy lies undenyed which thou hast heaped up in this thy Book the next of thy Bretheren that comes after thee to accuse us may make it a proofe that we are guilty thereof and so the lyar proves to the lyar whilst the Innocent are silent And with such proofes as this hast thou proved many of thy slanders in thy Book which might as clearly be shewed was it worth the while to follow thee into all thy deceits but a few may serve to lead the wise to see the rest The next thing thou accusest is our Doctrine and thou confessest we preach somewhat that is true yet sayest thou in this they are but the greater Deceivers And finding nothing of the truth we preach thou darest accuse thou makes a lye of thine own to accuse us with that is that we will allow of nothing to be called Gods Word but Christ and having cast this upon us thou goes about to disprove it and so disproves thy own lye and not our Doctrine so it being thine own work I shall leave it to thee The next thing thou charges upon us is that we say the Scripture may not be called the word of God which is false also as in thy sence for we own the Scripture where it is given to any by the inspiration of God to be the word to such but to others who have it not of God they may read the letter and not hear the word and have a Bible and be
