A30035	The pilgrim's progress, from Quakerism to Christianity containing, a farther discovery of the dangerous growth of Quakerism, not only in points of doctrine, but also in their politicks, respecting their government, and opposite to it, together with their fund or common bank to support the same : with a remedy proposed for this malady, and the cure of Quakerism : to which is added an appendix, discovering a most damnable plot, contriv'd and carrying on by New-Rome, by an united confederacy, against the reformed religion and professors thereof, as will appear from the designs of their silent meetings, their monthly, quarterly, second-day, six-week, and yearly meeting, all which are particularly herein treated on / by ...

bear_v the_o like_a face_n viz._n though_o all_o visible_a worship_n be_v now_o become_v of_o no_o value_n in_o the_o eye_n of_o the_o lord_n yet_o it_o may_v be_v true_o say_v that_o christ_n be_v

fox_n be_v for_o a_o infallible_a light_n so_o be_v muggleton_n fox_n be_v for_o silent_a saint_n so_o be_v muggleton_n only_a muggleton_n keep_v close_o to_o his_o principle_n for_o as_o he_o deny_v

never_o read_v of_o any_o but_o lodowick_n muggleton_n that_o justify_v the_o quaker_n silent_a meeting_n i_o will_v produce_v one_o passage_n more_o i._n e._n that_o the_o worship_n require_v by_o he_o from_o his_o saint_n be_v a_o inward_a stillness_n by_o which_o their_o soul_n be_v make_v willing_a to_o hearken_v to_o the_o voice_n or_o motion_n of_o bis_fw-la most_o holy_a spirit_n speak_v in_o they_o thus_o from_o a_o unerring_a light_n i_o have_v remonstrate_v to_o the_o elect_n what_o be_v the_o very_a true_a god_n and_o his_o spiritual_a worship_n accept_v of_o he_o it_o be_v not_o

two_o than_o solomon_n eccles_n but_o that_o it_o may_v appear_v that_o as_o the_o quaker_n have_v testify_v against_o the_o christian_n for_o own_v the_o authority_n of_o the_o bible_n so_o let_v they_o see_v they_o have_v a_o partner_n namely_o muggleton_n who_o say_v p._n 49._o ibid._n again_o in_o the_o next_o place_n i_o shall_v demonstrate_v the_o vanity_n of_o the_o ministry_n of_o the_o baptist_n i_o need_v not_o tell_v you_o the_o foundation_n upon_o which_o they_o build_v their_o worship_n because_o it_o be_v found_v on_o the_o letter_n tee_fw-mi letter_n the_o quaker_n language_n to_o a_o tee_fw-mi of_o the_o scripture_n and_o their_o own_o lie_a reason_n which_o be_v the_o devil_n in_o they_o all_o true_a christian_n be_v now_o under_o the_o ministry_n of_o the_o holy_a spirit_n and_o therefore_o be_v no_o more_o bind_v in_o conscience_n to_o apostolic_a worship_n i_o say_v again_o that_o above_o this_o 1000_o year_n there_o have_v not_o be_v a_o man_n send_v to_o preach_v or_o prophesy_v p._n 50._o how_o then_o can_v thou_o possible_o become_v a_o minister_n of_o divine_a ordinance_n by_o authority_n from_o another_o man_n word_n or_o write_n unless_o without_o their_o letter_n thou_o be_v immediate_o move_v to_o speak_v by_o the_o holy_a spirit_n as_o they_o be_v moreover_o though_o the_o scripture_n in_o themselves_o be_v true_a yet_o there_o be_v nothing_o but_o death_n in_o they_o to_o a_o carnal_a spirit_n the_o letter_n kill_v but_o the_o spirit_n give_v life_n and_o can_v a_o dead_a and_o kill_a letter_n give_v the_o power_n to_o become_v a_o spiritual_a minister_n of_o christ_n ordinance_n to_o his_o elect_a people_n i_o trow_v not_o etc._n etc._n thus_o do_v lodowick_n profess_v the_o same_o infallibility_n of_o judgement_n the_o same_o way_n of_o silent_a meeting_n the_o same_o perfection_n and_o unerring_a light_n to_o guide_n move_v thereby_o immediate_o again_o they_o join_v like_a samson_n fox_n against_o the_o scripture_n a_o dead_a letter_n a_o kill_a letter_n a_o carnal_a letter_n i_o think_v i_o have_v say_v enough_o at_o this_o time_n of_o the_o harmony_n betwixt_o lodowick_n muggleton_n and_o the_o quaker_n teacher_n though_o i_o can_v bring_v many_o of_o the_o like_a instance_n some_o inference_n from_o the_o three_o chapter_n be_v it_o so_o that_o whereas_o it_o be_v write_v john_n 5.23,27_o for_o the_o father_n judge_v no_o man_n but_o have_v commit_v all_o judgement_n to_o the_o son_n and_o have_v give_v he_o authority_n to_o execute_v judgement_n also_o because_o he_o be_v the_o son_n of_o man_n confirm_v by_o the_o apostle_n act_v 17.31_o because_o he_o have_v appoint_v a_o day_n in_o which_o he_o will_v judge_v the_o

whitehead_n and_o fox_n write_v be_v of_o great_a authority_n than_o the_o bible_n and_o not_o only_o that_o but_o all_o their_o other_o pamphlet_n which_o they_o give_v forth_o as_o they_o pretend_v from_o the_o spirit_n of_o truth_n or_o light_v within_o the_o say_a minister_n propose_v another_o question_n to_o whitehead_n viz._n be_v the_o moral_a law_n or_o ten_o commandment_n a_o rule_n to_o

christian_n life_n and_o rule_n be_v christ_n meaning_n their_o light_n within_o from_o whence_o it_o be_v plain_a that_o the_o ten_o commandment_n be_v not_o the_o quaker_n rule_n no_o no_o not_o unless_o they_o be_v convince_v by_o their_o light_n within_o of_o the_o reasonableness_n of_o their_o obedience_n as_o mr._n penn_n teach_v and_o edward_n burrough_n their_o great_a prophet_n quakerism_n a_o new_a nickname_n etc._n etc._n p._n 71._o burrough_n work_n p._n 47._o and_o by_o these_o and_o the_o like_a argument_n our_o teacher_n bring_v we_o off_o from_o believe_v the_o scripture_n to_o be_v the_o word_n of_o god_n and_o as_o such_o to_o have_v authority_n over_o we_o and_o bind_v to_o we_o whether_o convince_v or_o not_o convince_v by_o these_o mean_n they_o bring_v

bring_v we_o off_o the_o ordinance_n of_o christ_n as_o baptism_n and_o the_o lord_n supper_n ask_v forgiveness_n of_o sin_n and_o the_o like_a christian_a duty_n in_o which_o many_o of_o we_o have_v be_v educate_v and_o which_o the_o scripture_n command_v and_o exhort_v to_o and_o by_o reason_n of_o this_o and_o the_o like_a doctrine_n together_o with_o not_o read_v the_o holy_a scripture_n in_o our_o meeting_n but_o their_o epistle_n only_o as_o in_o my_o former_a book_n i_o have_v at_o large_a show_v we_o come_v to_o forget_v and_o not_o regard_n nor_o have_v faith_n in_o the_o crucify_a

indeed_o what_o else_o the_o church_n teach_v and_o to_o make_v it_o yet_o more_o evident_a if_o more_o can_v be_v that_o the_o very_a design_n of_o these_o silent_a meeting_n be_v to_o bring_v we_o

to_o all_o institute_v religion_n for_o as_o university_n and_o other_o school_n of_o learning_n as_o well_o among_o the_o jew_n as_o christian_n have_v a_o tendency_n to_o prepare_v man_n and_o
