A79837	A full discovery and confutation of the wicked and damnable doctrines of the Quakers. As also, a plain vindication and confirmation of sundry fundamental points of the Christian religion, denyed or corrupted by the enemies of the truth in these times. Published for the benefit of such weak Christians, who are not so able to discover and oppugne the dangerous doctrines of subtil seducers when coloured over with fair words and pretences, and so are more apt to be taken in their snares. Whereunto is annexed an excellent discourse proving that singing of Psalmes is not only lawful, but an ordinance of God. / By Jonathan Clapham, a servant of Christ in the work and labour of the Gospel at Wramplingham in Norff.	Clapham, Jonathan.	1656 (1656)	Wing C4407; Thomason E498_7; ESTC R206047	81,821	100

first_o that_o his_o neighbour_n accusation_n against_o he_o may_v not_o be_v credit_v there_o be_v many_o thing_n wherein_o the_o pharisee_n and_o quaker_n notable_o agree_v the_o pharisee_n be_v bitter_a enemy_n of_o jesus_n christ_n and_o conspire_v to_o destroy_v he_o and_o no_o less_o enemy_n to_o he_o be_v the_o quaker_n they_o quite_o annihilate_v and_o destroy_v as_o much_o as_o in_o they_o lie_v his_o manhood_n for_o they_o deny_v that_o he_o have_v a_o humane_a create_a soul_n so_o richard_n hubberthorne_n express_o in_o a_o letter_n send_v to_o myself_o and_o can_v he_o be_v

before_o show_v indeed_o sometime_o they_o will_v say_v he_o arise_v from_o the_o grave_n as_o hubberthorne_n in_o the_o letter_n aforesaid_a say_v but_o in_o the_o next_o word_n he_o show_v it_o be_v in_o the_o same_o person_n in_o which_o he_o be_v when_o the_o world_n be_v make_v it_o seem_v this_o be_v all_o the_o man-christ_n they_o now_o own_o further_o the_o pharisee_n be_v zealous_a for_o the_o righteousness_n of_o the_o law_n but_o enemy_n to_o the_o doctrine_n of_o justification_n by_o faith_n so_o the_o quaker_n as_o be_v show_v before_o in_o the_o section_n of_o justification_n the_o pharisee_n place_v all_o their_o religion_n in_o outward_a observance_n so_o the_o quaker_n as_o be_v before_o show_v the_o pharisee_n pretend_v much_o seem_a sanctity_n gravity_n austerity_n when_o inward_o full_a of_o wickedness_n so_o the_o quaker_n will_v seem_v holy_a austere_a but_o be_v full_a of_o rail_v and_o bitterness_n the_o pharisee_n stand_v much_o on_o trivial_a thing_n

be_v perfect_a and_o what_o they_o speak_v or_o write_v all_o be_v infallible_a and_o must_v not_o be_v question_v the_o pharisee_n be_v horrible_a corrupter_n of_o the_o scripture_n matth._n 5._o so_o the_o quaker_n as_o have_v be_v show_v the_o pharisee_n be_v rash_a censurer_n of_o other_o john_n 7.19_o &_o 10.20_o mat._n 11.19_o so_o the_o quaker_n the_o pharisee_n will_v compass_v sea_n and_o land_n to_o make_v a_o proselyte_n whereby_o he_o become_v twofold_a a_o child_n of_o hell_n more_o than_o before_o so_o the_o quaker_n what_o an_o exact_a harmony_n be_v here_o betwixt_o these_o two_o sect_n we_o read_v in_o scripture_n of_o another_o sect_n call_v sadducee_n and_o with_o they_o also_o the_o quaker_n have_v some_o agreement_n these_o pretend_v to_o righteousness_n

22.23_o act._n 23.8_o so_o the_o quaker_n herein_o also_o they_o agree_v with_o hymeneus_n and_o philetus_n who_o make_v it_o pass_v already_o act_v spiritual_o in_o man_n here_o 2_o tim._n 2.18_o the_o sadducee_n deny_v heaven_n and_o hell_n reward_n and_o punishment_n in_o the_o world_n to_o come_v as_o josephus_n report_v so_o the_o quaker_n as_o be_v before_o prove_v the_o sadducee_n deny_v

humane_a soul_n be_v it_o necessary_a i_o can_v show_v their_o agreement_n with_o many_o ancient_a heretic_n in_o the_o age_n succeed_v the_o apostle_n they_o agree_v with_o the_o arian_n and_o
