is the Devil For verily he took not on him the Nature of Angels but he took on him the Seed of Abraham Wherefore in all things it behoved him to be made like unto his Brethren that he might be a merciful and faithful High-priest in things pertaining to God to make reconciliation for the Sins of the People Again For we have not an High-priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our Infirmities but was in all points tempted like as we are yet without sin And as to his Suffering both in Body and Soul and thereby becoming a most compleat Sacrifice for the Remission of the Sins of the whole World according to Isaiah Yet it pleased the Lord to bruise him he hath put him to grief when thou shalt make his Soul an Offering for Sin he shall see his Seed he shall prolong his Days and the pleasure of the Lord shall prosper in his Hand He shall see of the travel of his Soul and be satisfied by his Knowledge shall my Righteous Servant justifie many for he shall bear their Iniquities Neither by the Blood of Goats and Calves but by his own Blood he entred in once into the holy place having obtained Eternal Redemption for us How much more shall the Blood of Christ who through the Eternal Spirit offered himself without spot to God purge your Conscience from dead Works to serve the Living God Again Who gave himself for us that he might Redeem us from all Iniquity and purifie unto himself a peculiar People zealous of good Works Again For Christ also hath once suffered for Sins the just for the unjust that he might bring us to God being put to Death in the Flesh but quickened by the Spirit Again And walk in love as Christ also hath loved us and hath given himself for us an Offering and a Sacrifice to God for a sweet smelling savour That I may know him and the Power of his Resurrection and the Fellowship of his Sufferings being made conformable unto his Death With many more all which we as truly and as faithfully Believe as any Protestants whatever and he must have a Face of Brass that will say the Quakers either deny or undervalue any part of it And for the Trinity as he calls it we as much believe it as the Scripture declares it viz. For there are Three that bare Record in Heaven the Father the Word and the Holy Ghost and these Three are One. And there are Three that bare witness in Earth the Spirit and the Water and the Blood and these Three agree in One. And as for the Body of Christ turning to Dust is so great an untruth that he must set up for the Trade of Lying that attempts a greater for the Quakers Believe according to the Acts of the Apostles which saith Ye Men of Galilee why stand ye gazing up into Heaven this same Jesus which is taken up from you into Heaven shall so come in like manner as ye have seen him go into Heaven Again He seeing this before spake of the Resurrection of Christ that his Soul was not left in Hell neither his Flesh did see Corruption This Jesus hath God raised up whereof we all are Witnesses Therefore being by the Right Hand of God exalted and having received of the Father the Promise of the Holy Ghost he hath shed forth this which ye now see and hear For David is not ascended into the Heavens but he saith himself The Lord said unto my Lord Sit thou on my Right Hand until I make thy Foes thy Footstool Therefore let all the House of Israel know assuredly that God hath made that same Jesus whom ye have Crucified both Lord and Christ Again Whom the Heaven must receive until the times of restitution of all things which God hath spoken by the Mouth of all his holy Prophets since the World began So that as his Flesh saw no Corruption he Ascended far above all Heavens and sits at the Right Hand of the Majesty in the Heavens c. Now of the things which we have spoken this is the sum We have such an High-priest who is set on the Right Hand of the Throne of the Majesty in the Heavens And though Christ was Anointed with the Oyl of Joy and Gladness above his Fellow referring to his Manhood which the Quakers readily confess yet never called it Anointings as he says for what reason I know not unless to abuse the Quakers And that all Christians have a degree or measure of the same the fulness of which was in him is sound Doctrine and to be believed and lookt for since he that has not the Spirit of Christ is none of his and since the Hammerer don't expect it no marvel he is so great a Slave to Sathan as he is His Scoffs at Perfection and Freedom from Sin I shall next take notice of and answer as follows That by Perfection the Quakers never pretended to any other than a being freed from Sinning and of a growth from one degree of Grace to another to the perfecting of Holiness but a Perfection of the fulness of Knowledge or of Glory is what is not to be expected in this World nor did we ever pretend to it but if a being delivered from sinning is not attainable the Quakers are indeed Fools to pretend to it and our Adversaries are in the right to reflect on us for it but if it be who is Fool then And that it is is most clear from Mat. 5. 48. Luke 6. 40. 2 Cor. 13. 9. 2 Tim. 3. 17. Eph. 4. 11 12 13. Heb. 6. 1. or else we must Charge an Absurdity on the Holy Ghost for injoining what was impossible to be attained to and where will that Centre And whereas he often reflects and abuseth the Quakers for denying Prayer and particularly Page 78. They must wait for the Spirit 's Call to Prayer saith he then asks how they and the Spirit came to be such Strangers that it calls not to them all the Day Week Month or Year long to pray alone or in their Families This also is like the rest and what that is is plainly made appear for 't is a hard matter for him to speak Truth in any one thing unless it be where he can strike us in the Teeth with a Demas or Judas an Alexander or Hymeneus or Philetu or a Nicholas c. which that we should be without is more than can be expected since the first Planters of Christianity were not yet that neither rendred the Christians Impostors or Apostates nor their Religion the Sink of Heresie though our Hammerers Elder Brethren thought it and them so and prosecuted them accordingly as their Rabbies did their Lord and Master Now as to Prayer in Families and alone as well as in publick Meetings this is the known practice of the People called Quakers but because they have not set hours for it any more than
