Whitehead and eleven witnesses against the great defamation of perjury and pillory, unjustly cast upon them by the said F.B.

Commons the 16th Instant stiled Something in Answer to the Allegations of the Quakers in their printed Case presented to the House of Commons Decemb 1693 on purpose to Calumniate the said People and to interrupt and gainsay their Conscientious Case for their not Swearing c. before presented as he saith Whereby Bugg did not only shew himself a busie-body in other Mens Matters but also in the very height of deadly Malice Therein falsly accusing the said People 1. With Contempt of Scripture and Ordenances without exception 2. With Contempt of the Publick Ministry without exception also 3. With Denying Jesus of Nazareth 4. With Contempt of Governours as if he eagerly thirsted for Persecution again for our utter Ruine Some of his Instances to prove that the Quakers deny Jesus of Nazareth are 1. William Smith 's asserting something of God in Man for him to wait to know 2. Our knowing Christ the foundation in us 3. Our believing that Christ in us doth intercede the Father on our behalf 5. Edw. Burrough 's confessing the very Christ of God to be in us and that we dare not deny him 5. The Answer formerly given by James Naylor viz. If I cannot witness Christ nearer than Jerusalem I shall have no Benefit by him but I own no other Christ but that i. e. Christ who witnessed a good Confession before Pilate which Christ I witness suffering in me now These are some of his Instances to prove that the Quakers deny Jesus of Nazareth Wherefore according to F. Bugg's Doctrin since he turned from the Quakers to the Church of England the ancient Christian and Apostolical Doctrin and Confession of Jesus Christ in you except ye be Reprobates and Christ in you the hope of Glory and the Spirit of the Son as sent into your Hearts crying Abba Father and making intercession c. This all with Bugg is a denying Jesus of Nazareth Oh! horrible Antichristianism and Apostacy The Lord preserve all honest simple Hearts from such gross darkness of Envy and Apostacy against which I propose 1. That Christ's being in Glory and Majesty in the Heavens does not wholly exclude him out of the Souls of his People 2. That Jesus Christ who is in his own Glory and Majesty in the Heavens yet is spiritually in the Hearts of his true Followers in his Church and Sanctuary and Minister thereof See Heb. 8.1 2.

Detractions What horrid Hipocrisie Insolency and Self-contradiction is this Can he rationally suppose that such his foul Defamations and Detractions may not affect both Religion Persons and Imployments of those Men he has thus most Injuriously treated And can he think himself secure from having his Insolency therein in time further take notice of Though some among us be loath to be Vindicative upon him according to his Demerits especially for the sake of his honest afflicted Wife Yet I would advise him if he be not past it not to be so fool-hardy for the future nor to Act any more Fools Tragedies to Reproach and Scandalize others THE Self-Condemn'd APOSATE OR Francis Bugg AGAINST FRANCIS BUGG In His Apparent Contradictions His Confession in his own Words F. B 's New Rome Arraign'd p. 45. and they i. e. the Quakers often as a Decoy false by the way Exorted us to obey the Light the Spirit of God in our Hearts and to observe the dictates of our Consciences to abstain from Evil and pursue what was Good and to follow the Leadings and Guidance of the Light within which was sufficient to lead unto Salvation c. And this being a general Truth and a Duty upon all Christians and no less than the publick Ministry does yea and ought to exhort to His Opposition with Additional Notes inclosed in Square Parentheses from his Confession F. B's New Rome Arraigned p. 68. For as it is false Doctrine to Teach that the Light being obeyed is sufficient to lead to Salvation for then your Obedience is meritorious and Christ Dyed in vain Observ. If the Light within followed be sufficient to lead to Salvation and this true Doctrine then 't is not false Doctrine too that the Light within being obeyed is sufficient to lead to Salvation neither does it invalidate Christ's Death Merits or Deservings for Man to follow and obey his Light within to lead to Christ who is Gods Salvation to the ends of the Earth For Christ deserves to be Obeyed and 't is our Duty and without believing in his Light there is no Salvation received from him F. B's One blow more p. 5. Artic. 3. In the Beginning G. Whitehead and many others came through the Countrey in plain Habit walking on Foot content with Mean Accommodation Apt to Teach Not given to filthy Lucre often Visiting the Sick the Poor as well the Rich Working often on their Trades that they might not be Chargeable F. B. Battering Rams p. 14. I mean Guilty in that they i. e. the Teachers among the Quakers alwayes pretend to Preach and Teach freely but contrary to all these their Pretensions have all along taken Money for the same Observe The latter is a notorious Falshood as well as contradictory to the former How all along take Money for Preaching and Teaching and yet not given to filthy Lucre and so Industrious and Careful not to be Chargeable when thus we Travel'd and Laboured as before F. B.'s Quakers detected p 3. In the Beginning they i.e. the Quakers Ministers Taught That all Men were Enlightned according to Joh. 1.9 and that this Light wherewith Christ had enlightened them was sufficient if obeyed to lead to Salvation and that it was the work of the Ministers of Christ to turn the Peoples minds from darkness to light and from the power of Satan to God affirming that this Light was a sufficient Teacher Leader and Guide to every Believer without the help of outward Prescriptions Forms Orders and Decrees of Men upon these and the like Notions I became persuaded to make Trial of their Doctrine and when I came to see and observe their Practice Conversations and Deportments in the Beginning and what simplicity plainness attended their Ministry I was still more Confirmed that it was a Dispensation of the Love of God sent as a visitation to Mankind and being thus perswaded I was resolved to bear the Cross and did utterly despise the shame that attended them and their Message and was not behind any of my Equals both in doing and suffering for the Testimony thereof as some amongst them can still bear me witness And in this manner we went on for many years and Loved one another with Love unfeigned and doubtless God blessed our Meetings with the comfortable Enjoyment of His Presence Thus far Fra.

New Rome Arraign'd and out of her own mouth Condemned containing A farther Discovery of the Dangerous Errours and Pernicious Principles of the Teachers and Leaders of the People called Quakers which tend to overthrow the Christian Faith In Answer to G. W's Charitable Essay c. Wherewith he has not proved any one Pernicious Principle Who for his false Testimony together with Eleven of his Witnesses that came in to his assistance are Examined Tryed and Convict of Perjury and for the same put into the Pillory by one who was more than twenty five years a Member of their Society being carried away with their Dissimulation Francis Bugg Title Page When they Preached Christ the Light and in the Work of his Ministers and in a Dispensation of the Love of God F. B. Ibid. Epist Dedicat. The Quakers come not one jot behind the Papists in Condemning the Protestant Religion Which is a great Lye by the way 'T is Popery and Humane Prescriptions in Worship that we condemn by our owning the Light and Holy Spirit 's conduct therein These Confessions F. B. made in his said Book Quakers Detected Printed in 1686 about two years after his forsaking the Society of the people called Quakers and conforming to the Church of England And farther F. Bugg in his Book De Christiana Libertate printed 1682 hath also made these Confessions to the Principles of Truth Professed among the People commonly called Quakers and to them as a True Church a Church of Christ Built on the True Foundation Second Part of his said Book Ch. 1. Treats of Principles of Truth received and believed in the Beginning as follows viz. That in the Beginning the Inshining Light of Christ Jesus by his heavenly spiritual Appearance in the Hearts and Souls of his People was our Principle the very Foundation Principle and Corner-stone in our Building there are yet many living Witnesses and our Work and Labour in that day was to turn peoples Minds thereunto as to the more sure Word of Prophecy whereunto as many as took heed did well and that there was sufficiency in it being obeyed to lead to Salvation And as our Minds came to be turned to this Inward Teacher and as we came to experience the Virtue and Excellency of this Holy Vnction so we held a Publick Testimony thereof to others that they might thereby be provoked to make Tryal thereof that so they might have the Witness in themselves and see for themselves and taste for themselves And to this Word nigh in the Heart were we committed and recommended suitable to the Doctrine and Ancient Prophesies of Christ Jesus our Lord and his Blessed
