A48937	Quakerism no paganism: or, A friendly reply to W.R. his unfriendly discourse intituled, Quakerism is paganism Shewing the insufficiency of what he hath written to unchristian the Quakers, and to render them as heathens and pagans to the people By W.L. a lover of peace more than of parties.	Loddington, William, 1626?-1711.	1674 (1674)	Wing L2805; ESTC R216893	25,726	71

doctrine_n will_v hardly_o keep_v people_n awake_v while_o they_o be_v preach_v up_o even_o from_o scripture_n authority_n they_o may_v well_o say_v unto_o we_o physician_n heal_v yourselves_o agree_v among_o yourselves_o you_o wise_a and_o learned_a what_o be_v the_o mind_n and_o meaning_n of_o the_o scripture_n about_o which_o now_o you_o dispute_v and_o then_o we_o will_v more_o willing_o

find_v the_o light_a i_o will_v never_o speak_v a_o word_n more_o for_o they_o as_o a_o people_n how_o long_o must_v we_o wait_v to_o know_v a_o corrupt_a principle_n they_o have_v be_v among_o we_o about_o six_o or_o seven_o and_o twenty_o year_n and_o yet_o we_o see_v no_o corrupt_a practice_n grow_v from_o their_o principle_n certain_o be_v such_o evil_a fruit_n as_o you_o imagine_v natural_a to_o the_o tree_n we_o shall_v have_v see_v it_o before_o now_o for_o you_o say_v when_o a_o man_n conscience_n be_v debauch_a we_o shall_v quick_o see_v he_o a_o man_n of_o a_o debauch_a conversation_n the_o six_o charge_n be_v that_o the_o speak_n of_o the_o spirit_n in_o any_o be_v of_o great_a authority_n than_o the_o scripture_n to_o this_o i_o say_v and_o i_o see_v no_o cause_n to_o alter_v my_o say_n that_o there_o be_v no_o reason_n for_o this_o charge_n to_o be_v draw_v from_o g._n whiteheads_n word_n for_o these_o word_n and_o great_a be_v add_v to_o the_o close_n of_o the_o sentence_n do_v plain_o signify_v to_o i_o that_o it_o must_v relate_v to_o the_o influence_n for_o what_o do_v authority_n signify_v without_o influence_n of_o what_o worth_n be_v the_o authority_n of_o a_o magistrate_n where_o his_o command_n be_v not_o regard_v now_o it_o must_v be_v the_o spirit_n open_v of_o our_o heart_n as_o it_o do_v the_o heart_n of_o lydia_n to_o hearken_v to_o the_o scripture_n and_o suffer_v they_o to_o have_v any_o impression_n upon_o we_o or_o authority_n over_o we_o wherefore_o vv._n r._n say_v well_o that_o whatever_o good_a effect_n the_o preacher_n doctrine_n have_v upon_o the_o soul_n it_o be_v wrought_v by_o those_o word_n not_o as_o they_o be_v the_o word_n of_o man_n but_o as_o indeed_o the_o word_n of_o god_n which_o effectual_o

without_o the_o inward_a operation_n and_o conviction_n of_o the_o holy_a spirit_n therefore_o i_o see_v no_o evil_a in_o ascribe_v the_o great_a to_o the_o spirit_n so_o long_o as_o they_o give_v a_o great_a authority_n to_o the_o scripture_n both_o which_o g._n vv._n do_v in_o his_o answer_n cite_v by_o t._n h._n viz._n that_o which_o be_v speak_v from_o the_o spirit_n of_o truth_n in_o any_o

great_a reason_n of_o this_o charge_n be_v yet_o behind_o and_o the_o apeal_n direct_v i_o to_o dial._n 1._o p._n 28._o there_o i_o find_v it_o viz._n that_o because_o the_o script_n if_o diligent_o consult_v with_o will_v deter_v person_n from_o believe_v the_o quaker_n feign_v revelation_n therefore_o it_o be_v they_o so_o much_o endeavour_v to_o beget_v in_o the_o mind_n of_o man_n a_o ill_a opinion_n of_o they_o this_o be_v a_o hard_a censure_n and_o how_o he_o will_v get_v off_o i_o know_v not_o unless_o by_o way_n of_o suppose_a consequence_n for_o i_o dare_v say_v they_o never_o tell_v any_o man_n that_o their_o endeavour_n be_v to_o beget_v in_o the_o mind_n of_o man_n all_o ill_a opinion_n of_o the_o scripture_n or_o that_o they_o fear_v the_o scripture_n will_v deter_v person_n from_o believe_v they_o but_o it_o be_v none_o of_o my_o purpose_n to_o give_v a_o particular_a account_n of_o their_o faith_n in_o this_o or_o other_o point_n i_o refer_v those_o that_o be_v mind_v to_o know_v their_o judgement_n about_o the_o script_n to_o the_o four_o 5_o 6_o seven_o 8_o &_o 9th_o chapter_n of_o quakerism_n a_o new_a nick_n name_n for_o old_a christianity_n and_o the_o

for_o the_o charge_n be_v not_o the_o reason_n of_o the_o charge_n what_o i_o last_o mention_v as_o a_o hard_a censure_n and_o indeed_o he_o that_o see_v a_o reason_n for_o that_o consequence_n in_o g._n vv._n his_o word_n i_o confess_v see_v more_o than_o i_o do_v the_o seven_o charge_n be_v that_o be_v no_o command_n from_o god_n to_o i_o which_o god_n have_v give_v by_o way_n of_o command_n to_o another_o neither_o do_v any_o of_o the_o saint_n act_n by_o the_o command_n which_o be_v to_o another_o every_o one_o obey_v their_o own_o command_n this_o in_o substance_n be_v but_o the_o two_o former_a charge_n dress_v up_o in_o other_o word_n for_o by_o command_n i_o suppose_v t._n h._n mean_v scripture_n command_v and_o by_o saint_n such_o as_o be_v record_v in_o scripture_n and_o then_o it_o be_v no_o more_o than_o what_o ben._n furly_n say_v before_o that_o there_o be_v nothing_o in_o the_o scripture_n which_o he_o be_v oblige_v to_o obey_v because_o there_o record_v and_o so_o say_v i_o not_o only_o because_o record_v in_o that_o book_n do_v i_o obey_v any_o command_n but_o because_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n convince_v i_o that_o it_o be_v my_o duty_n for_o if_o its_o

it_o be_v state_v so_o in_o general_a that_o it_o may_v admit_v of_o good_a or_o bad_a particular_a application_n and_o for_o proof_n i_o show_v several_a particular_a command_n from_o god_n to_o

and_o this_o w._n r._n himself_o confirm_v out_o of_o mr._n leigh_v critica_fw-la sacra_fw-la for_o he_o say_v the_o word_n must_v be_v understand_v to_o respect_v that_o integrity_n holiness_n and_o innocency_n of_o the_o soul_n of_o good_a man_n by_o which_o they_o live_v a_o holy_a life_n and_o please_v god_n which_o in_o substance_n be_v what_o i_o say_v before_o and_o w._n p._n before_o both_o of_o we_o viz._n to_o be_v make_v just_a or_o righteous_a but_o say_v w._n r._n this_o can_v be_v do_v without_o their_o person_n be_v first_o acquit_v of_o their_o former_a sin_n by_o the_o justification_n they_o receive_v from_o christ_n through_o believe_v which_o in_o plain_a english_a be_v all_o one_o as_o to_o say_v this_o can_v be_v do_v before_o it_o be_v do_v in_o the_o next_o place_n w._n r._n fall_v to_o distinguish_v between_o a_o legal_a righteousness_n a_o evangelical_n righteousness_n and_o three_o a_o righteousness_n which_o christ_n fulfil_v for_o we_o in_o his_o own_o person_n whole_o without_o we_o the_o first_o he_o say_v be_v a_o perfect_a obedience_n to_o all_o god_n require_v at_o all_o time_n both_o in_o thought_n word_n and_o deed_n but_o where_o this_o be_v call_v a_o legal_a righteousness_n i_o know_v not_o i_o think_v the_o gospel_n require_v as_o perfect_a obedience_n as_o the_o law_n and_o more_o strict_a as_o in_o mat._n 5._o but_o second_o w._n r._n be_v evangelical_n righteousness_n be_v only_o a_o sincere_a endeavour_n of_o the_o soul_n to_o do_v all_o that_o god_n require_v although_o by_o reason_n of_o the_o pravity_n of_o his_o nature_n he_o can_v uttain_v it_o be_v not_o this_o plain_o to_o say_v that_o god_n require_v we_o now_o under_o the_o gospel_n to_o do_v that_o which_o he_o know_v we_o can_v do_v this_o make_v the_o slothful_a servant_n say_v mat._n 25._o that_o he_o be_v a_o hard_a master_n but_o three_o he_o have_v distinguish_v out_o another_o righteousness_n which_o christ_n fulfil_v for_o we_o which_o it_o seem_v not_o proper_o be_v call_v legal_a or_o evangelical_n but_o what_o he_o mean_v by_o all_o this_o i_o know_v not_o unless_o he_o will_v bring_v we_o to_o expect_v to_o be_v justify_v by_o such_o a_o faith_n as_o be_v without_o work_n and_o that_o i_o hope_v he_o will_v disow_v and_o if_o so_o all_o these_o distinction_n will_v vanish_v of_o themselves_o and_o that_o i_o believe_v they_o do_v as_o fast_o as_o they_o be_v preach_v be_v so_o intricate_a and_o hard_a to_o be_v understand_v that_o i_o know_v not_o how_o any_o man_n can_v tell_v how_o to_o regulate_v his_o faith_n or_o life_n according_a to_o they_o the_o second_o thing_n i_o propound_v to_o moderate_v this_o charge_n be_v these_o word_n whole_o without_o we_o which_o i_o say_v may_v very_o well_o satisfy_v we_o that_o the_o quaker_n level_v not_o at_o scripture_n justification_n but_o at_o our_o conceit_n of_o it_o of_o which_o i_o see_v w._n r._n take_v no_o notice_n and_o no_o doubt_n he_o see_v cause_n for_o it_o for_o whole_o without_o we_o must_v either_o in_o this_o point_n of_o justification_n signify_v whole_o without_o our_o faith_n or_o whole_o without_o our_o work_n or_o whole_o
