A77227	The Quakers quaking principles examined and refuted in a briefe answer to some erroneous tenets held forth by James Naylor in his answers unto Mr Baxter, and some others that have publikely opposed that blacke spirit in the deluded Quakers. Wherein is also included a serious admonition, how wee ought to behave our selves towards the ministers of the gospell, in respect of communicating unto them; and for giving to the poore, so as the Gospell requires: and to beware of covetousnesse, and the effects thereof, least wee be left of God, and delivered up unto strong delusions, and a blasphemous spirit instead of the spirit of God. The heads of the whole discourse are also premised. / Written by Ellis Bradshavve.	Bradshaw, Ellis.	1656 (1656)	Wing B4147; Thomason E869_1; ESTC R207737	57,239	71

who_o value_n their_o carnal_a worldly_a thing_n above_o god_n and_o christ_n and_o the_o furtherance_n of_o the_o gospel_n and_o thing_n of_o a_o eternal_a nature_n nay_o how_o can_v or_o dare_v they_o bless_v such_o covetous_a man_n who_o the_o lord_n abhor_v which_o be_v only_o proper_a to_o wicked_a man_n i_o say_v it_o be_v only_o proper_a for_o wicked_a man_n to_o bless_v the_o

be_v the_o root_n of_o all_o evil_a therefore_o how_o shall_v any_o man_n expect_v any_o good_a branch_n or_o sprout_n from_o it_o i_o be_o very_o confident_a and_o not_o without_o many_o good_a

beforehand_o to_o warn_v all_o man_n as_o the_o apostle_n do_v to_o beware_v of_o covetousness_n as_o the_o most_o dangerous_a root_n of_o sin_n that_o can_v be_v least_o grow_v in_o the_o heart_n

we_o ought_v to_o abhor_v such_o a_o man_n as_o odious_a and_o abominable_a yea_o as_o a_o base_a spirit_v and_o ignoble_a person_n such_o as_o be_v not_o worthy_a of_o any_o christian_a fellowship_n

but_o it_o will_v require_v a_o pretty_a volume_n i_o must_v not_o be_v so_o large_a in_o this_o treatise_n but_o shall_v leave_v the_o further_a prosecution_n thereof_o till_o another_o opportunity_n a_o parallel_n listen_v of_o some_o of_o the_o manifest_a contradiction_n betwixt_o the_o teach_n of_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n and_o of_o that_o spirit_n by_o which_o the_o quaker_n be_v guide_v

the_o scripture_n for_o attain_v to_o the_o knowledge_n of_o god_n and_o of_o christ_n nor_o the_o teach_n of_o man_n for_o they_o have_v that_o within_o they_o which_o will_v teach_v they_o sufficient_o and_o all_o have_v this_o light_n they_o say_v yea_o every_o one_o that_o come_v into_o the_o world_n and_o this_o light_n be_v christ_n the_o eternal_a light_n but_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n teach_v we_o that_o there_o be_v more_o light_n than_o one_o though_o all_o from_o that_o eternal_a light_n for_o say_v christ_n as_o long_o as_o i_o be_o in_o the_o world_n i_o be_o the_o

that_o purpose_n and_o not_o to_o be_v cover_v nor_o shall_v their_o light_n hold_v forth_o in_o scripture_n be_v cover_v from_o the_o true_a church_n but_o they_o do_v and_o shall_v give_v heed_n thereto_o as_o to_o a_o light_n shine_v in_o a_o dark_a place_n nay_o though_o satan_n himself_o be_v transform_v into_o a_o angel_n of_o light_n they_o shall_v not_o believe_v every_o spirit_n but_o try_v the_o spirit_n whether_o they_o be_v of_o god_n see_v many_o false_a prophet_n be_v go_v forth_o into_o the_o world_n and_o by_o their_o fruit_n they_o shall_v know_v they_o and_o find_v they_o to_o be_v thief_n and_o robber_n and_o shall_v detect_v they_o by_o the_o light_n of_o god_n hold_v forth_o in_o scripture_n which_o be_v a_o sure_a word_n of_o prophecy_n contain_v many_o sure_a

attendance_n unto_o read_v and_o to_o exhortation_n and_o to_o doctrine_n and_o they_o will_v teach_v they_o to_o their_o child_n and_o to_o their_o child_n

child_n for_o so_o they_o be_v command_v by_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n in_o the_o holy_a scripture_n and_o to_o take_v heed_n to_o the_o law_n and_o testimony_n whereby_o they_o will_v try_v the_o spirit_n whether_o they_o be_v of_o god_n for_o if_o they_o do_v not_o speak_v according_a to_o these_o it_o be_v because_o there_o be_v no_o light_n in_o they_o but_o the_o spirit_n of_o darkness_n that_o rule_v in_o the_o child_n of_o disobedience_n as_o be_v more_o at_o large_a in_o the_o book_n 2._o second_o their_o spirit_n teach_v they_o to_o deny_v the_o scripture_n to_o be_v the_o word_n of_o god_n and_o to_o call_v they_o carnal_a and_o a_o dead_a letter_n but_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n teach_v we_o that_o every_o word_n of_o god_n be_v pure_a and_o that_o all_o scripture_n be_v give_v by_o inspiration_n of_o god_n and_o that_o the_o word_n which_o christ_n have_v speak_v to_o we_o be_v spirit_n and_o life_n to_o they_o that_o believe_v they_o and_o receive_v they_o in_o love_n 3._o their_o spirit_n teach_v they_o to_o speak_v evil_a of_o all_o man_n that_o embrace_v not_o their_o lie_a doctrine_n and_o way_n but_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n teach_v we_o to_o speak_v evil_a of_o no_o man_n but_o to_o honour_v all_o man_n and_o as_o much_o as_o in_o we_o lie_v to_o have_v peace_n with_o all_o man_n 4._o their_o spirit_n teach_v they_o to_o revile_v and_o disparage_v the_o minister_n of_o god_n and_o to_o blame_v and_o revile_v those_o that_o hear_v they_o and_o maintain_v they_o but_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n teach_v we_o to_o love_v and_o honour_v they_o and_o to_o communicate_v free_o and_o liberal_o for_o their_o maintenance_n that_o they_o may_v have_v lack_n of_o nothing_o nor_o need_v to_o labour_v and_o entangle_v they_o with_o the_o affair_n of_o this_o life_n they_o be_v engage_v in_o a_o spiritual_a warfare_n against_o princiyality_n and_o power_n and_o spiritual_a wickedness_n etc._n etc._n for_o if_o it_o be_v true_a that_o god_n have_v so_o ordain_v that_o they_o that_o preach_v the_o gospel_n shall_v live_v of_o the_o gospel_n then_o it_o also_o follow_v that_o such_o church_n or_o people_n whosoever_o that_o do_v not_o so_o ordain_v and_o take_v care_n or_o do_v not_o so_o communicate_v to_o those_o that_o teach_v they_o as_o that_o they_o may_v live_v of_o the_o gospel_n and_o have_v lack_n of_o nothing_o for_o themselves_o or_o they_o but_o do_v enforce_v they_o to_o labour_n with_o their_o own_o hand_n and_o to_o entangle_v themselves_o with_o the_o affair_n of_o this_o life_n they_o be_v not_o obedient_a to_o the_o gospel_n of_o christ_n nor_o follower_n of_o god_n as_o his_o dear_a child_n neither_o do_v they_o walk_v in_o love_n as_o christ_n have_v love_v we_o nay_o they_o be_v so_o far_o unlike_o christian_n as_o that_o they_o be_v worse_o than_o infidel_n for_o if_o it_o be_v a_o unjust_a thing_n and_o a_o work_n of_o cruelty_n to_o mussle_v the_o mouth_n of_o a_o ox_n that_o tread_v out_o the_o corn_n how_o much_o more_o cruel_a will_v it_o one_o day_n appear_v to_o mussle_v the_o mouth_n of_o a_o minister_n and_o messenger_n of_o god_n that_o rule_v well_o and_o labour_v in_o the_o word_n and_o doctrine_n be_v they_o not_o more_o in_o value_n in_o the_o sight_n of_o god_n than_o many_o sparrow_n yea_o then_o many_o ox_n doubtless_o they_o be_v so_o in_o the_o sight_n of_o god_n and_o aught_o to_o be_v so_o in_o the_o sight_n of_o christian_n but_o how_o much_o press_v will_v this_o point_n need_n before_o it_o be_v effectual_a so_o as_o to_o naturalize_v

likewise_o be_v hold_v forth_o but_o 5._o their_o spirit_n teach_v and_o engage_v they_o also_o and_o that_o upon_o pain_n of_o eternal_a damnation_n not_o to_o use_v the_o word_n you_o but_o thou_o or_o thou_o to_o a_o single_a person_n but_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n never_o give_v we_o any_o such_o charge_n nor_o be_v we_o so_o limit_v by_o any_o rule_n in_o scripture_n but_o quite_o the_o
