QUESTIONS Propounded to GEORGE WHITEHEAD AND GEORGE FOX c. Who disputed by Turnes AGAINST ONE UNIVERSITIE MAN IN CAMBRIDGE Aug. 29. 1659. By R. B. 1. DO not you repent for your endeavouring vainly to defend Aug. 29. 1659. in so great a Congregation these positions printed in a book writ by George Whitehead who professe your self to be an Ambassadour of Christ and yet that you pretend no more Commission than all Hereticks have with as much colour pretended viz. 1. Pag. 1 That the Bible is not the word of God 2. Lin. 1. That to assert the Scripture is the word of God is one of the deceitfull imaginations which the Priests of this generation have deceived the people with 3. p. 1. lin last That he who asserts there be three persons in the blessed Trinity is a dreamer and a conjurer 4. That he who asserts there be three such persons shall be shut up with them in perpetuall darkness for the lake and the pit 2. Did not you offend God by asserting there and then at the conclusion of your dispute that the same thing at the same time and place might be both visible and invisible plainly seen by the eyes of many men and this upon record and yet impossible to be seen at that time and place 3. If you still think this true may you not be as your Opponent inferred a Quaker and no Quaker a Papist and no Papist a Heretick and no Heretick at the same time and place 4. Do you think 't is the part of a good Disputant to deny the conclusion of a syllogism as you there and then did severall times together 5. Why do you sleight both the Sacraments Baptism and the Lords Supper which the Scripture saith are necessary to Salvation For Christ saith Joh. 6.53 Verily verily except ye eat the flesh of the Son of man and drink his blood ye have no life in you Ye say that ye have life though you do not eat c. Christ saith Take eat do this in remembrance of me You say do not take do not eat do not do this c. Christ saith verily verily except a man be borne of water mark water and of the Spirit he cannot enter into the Kingdom of God you say that no man need to be baptized he may enter into the Kingdom of heaven though he be not c. 6. Is it not evident that some of you if not all more or less are possessed with the Devill when John Gilpin in his book at tested by the Major and chief men in Kendall confesseth that he was possest with the Devill while he was a Quaker and divers of your selves confess in Sauls errand p. 4. 5. That at some of your meetings many men women and little children have been strangely wrought upon in their bodies and brought to fall foam at the mouth roar and swell in their bellies 7. Do not you esteem your speakings to be of as great authority as any chapters in the Bible 8. Do not you hold it unlawfull to expound or interpret the H. Scriptures 9. Do not some of you say that he who preaches by a Text is a conjurer c. 10. That the Holy Bible ought to be burnt 11. Do not you think it needlesse to pray for the pardon of your sins 12. Do not you believe that there is no heaven nor hell nor other world after this life 13. Do you believe that all these bodies which are met here this day shall depart out of this life and that they shall rise again at the last day 14. Do not you say that the Magistrate who makes Acts of Parliament and doth not receive them from God as Moses did doth act contrary to the law of God as I read in the book called Fiery darts of the Devill quenched printed by Calvert 1654. and subscribed by six Quakers 15. Do not you say in the same book that the H. Scripture is not the Saints rule nor the ground of his faith p. 19. Not the Saints guide nor the rule of faith and patience pag. 30. and 32. of the same book and do not you by such doctrines and refusing to take the oath of abjuration show your selves to be Papists 16. Is it not confessed by your selves in Sauls errand p. 4. and attested by severall Gentlemen Justices of peace Ministers of the Gospell and people in the County of Lanchaster that you teach doctrines that break the relation of Subjects to their Magistrates wives to their husbands children to their parents Servants to their Masters congregations to their Ministers and of a people to their God 17. Do you who call your selves Saints sin in this life Solomon saith there is not a just man upon earth that sinneth not Eccle. 7.20 See Prov. 24.16 1. Kings 8.46 and 2. Chro. 6.36 Jam 3.2 18. Are you still of opinion that to affirm if any man say he hath no sin he deceives himself is to affirm a falsity as concerning the Saints or Quakers Which you affirmed in the Majors house 19. Did not you sin last week in saying that the Universitie Man preacht for hire and made bargaines for his Ministeriall offices and took ten shillings for a Funerall Sermon if you cannot prove these things You see he denyes them all and sayes he never took a penny for a funerall Sermon in his life c. I desire you to prove them all or tell me whether slandering be a sin in you 20. Whereas a book intituled Fiery darts saith p. 26. that since the Apostles dayes there hath been a great Apostacy and that a true Church of Christ could not be found are you of the same mind 21. Do you mean that there was never a true Church to be found from the Apostles dayes till now 22. If so what became of the Church all the while Or do you confess 't was not in being 23. If so how was Christ true to his promise who said he would be with his Church to the end of the World He could not be with a Church that was not in being 24. What think you became of all the Martyrs for the first three hundred Years after Christ or of those in England in Q Maries dayes Were they saved or not 25. Why do you censure our Clergy and us Christians for trying your Spirits when the Apostle bids us try the Spirits Sure then there is a false and a true Spirit and how can we try which is true or false but by the Scriptures 26. Do you think that Fornication in a Quaker is sin 27. How do you know that Fornication is a sin in one that is a Quaker but by the Law and the Gospell 28. How do you know there is a Spirit or a Conscience 29. Is the Morall Law or the ten Commandments a rule to the Christians life or is it not 30. Do you approve the doings of those Men and Women who lye together naked in the Streets fathering it upon the Spirit
