A86608	The devils bow unstringed, or, Some of Thomas Dansons lyes made manifest, : which he hath printed and put to publick view in two pamphlets, the one intituled, The Quakers folly made manifest. And the other, The Quakers wisdom not from above. : And in the first page of his narrative he calleth them undoubted truths, but the wise in heart will not so take them, but will consider better of them, for the wise mans eye is in his head. / By Luke Howard.	Howard, Luke, 1621-1699.	1659 (1659)	Wing H2984A; ESTC R178278	9,920	8

of thy brethren like thy self that met me near Dover Castle at which time he had much to say of friends and truth but refused to tell me his name or the place where he lived or to meet me in a more publick place to make good his charge but now thou having raked him up to shoot his lye out of thy Bow he appeareth or thee for him who callest him the Minister of Word near Sandwich and saying that I should say that it was revealed to me by the eternal God that the Priests should be destroyed and that by the Quakers and this thou bringest as all thy proof to evidence three lyes besides this to wit that a Quuker in Sussex who as thou sayest had taken upon him to be speaker in that meeting called our to a Minister of the Parish as he passed by saying we will have you all down for now our day is come which Practise we deny And that another in the same County should say that he no more cared to kill a Priest then he cared to kill a Dogg And that another should Justell a man on the way having his Wife behind him and drew out his sword half way which was a suspition that he would have killed him a● thou in thy suspicious minde saith had he not been prevented but these three men thou dost not name so thy proof in these three thou hast not yet raked up and except they be such as will shoot in the Devils Bow with thee thou wilt be troubled to make them enter into sober peoples understandings they are so groundless and all this groundless stuff the lye which thou hast laid on me is all the evidence thou hast produced as if we were a people in whose hearts were blood of which we are clear and not like that bloody generation of Priests who lately made an insurrection with George Booth and you their brethren which were loth to read the Proclamation against them here read thy self And if such kind of proof may be taken to brand the innocent then thy lyes may pass but to the contrary can I bring many witnesses and that these were my words to the Priest I met beside the Castle or to this purpose to wit That the decree of the Lord was gone out and sealed against the Priests to pluck them up by the roots for their wickedness witness John Hummerdien of Dover John Marsh Hester Warry And that I believe will certainly come to pass as truly as ever your Fathers the Bishops and Love your brothers who lost their Heads on Tower hill for their wickedness which may be looked upon as true figures of the downfal of your whole body of opposers of the truth for now is the Lord a searching out your hidden things of Esau and bringing of them to publick view Witness the late Proclamation by which many of you were proclaimed Rebells and Traytors to the peace of your Countrey The day is come and a coming which shall declare every mans works and that all shall be tryed by fire and there is nothing which will stand in Covenant with the Lord but what will indure the fire therefore let none be deceived professors or not professors covered or not covered with names of Saints or Churches God will not be mocked but such as every man sows such shall he reap if they sow to the flesh they must of the flesh reap corruption but if they sow to the spirit viz. That which reproveth them for sin they shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting for its reproofs of instruction are the way to life and also he that liveth after the flesh shall dye but he that through the spirit which reproveth the World of sin righteousness of Judgment mortifieth the deeds of the flesh he shall live for in every nation and amongst all people he that feareth God and worketh righteousness is accepted of him and the fear of the Lord is to depart from iniquity and a fountain of life to depart from the wayes of death and the fear of the Lord keepeth the heart clean so all people feel that which keepeth the heart clean for it is the pure in heart onely shall see God and there is none that can see his face with peace and live in the first nature but as a consuming fire will his appearance be to all such who have a life in the transgression or trespassing against that which shews them sin and iniquity And now to thy two Questions which thou makest in thy Title page viz. If it be not so now who will make thee a lyer and make thy speech nothing worth and what thou hast done is there not a cause sayest thou No cause to lye say I And all this thou hast done to confirm people in a bad opinion of the Quakers and thou trustest that it will do it as thou sayest in thy confused preface in the beginning of which thou sayest thou art come once more upon the Stage and it s true more like a stage Player then a Minister of the Gospel not without a blush and truly according to the Worlds proverb thou mayest indeed blush for shame to utter so many lyes in the face of the Son which is right stage player like whose life and trade is to lye and this thou hast done by which the hands of the wicked are strengthned that he should not return from his wickedness but rejoyce in his iniquity and Joyneth himself with thee against the truth and so thou mayest have thy prayer answered which thou makest in the end of this preface viz. That the Reader may hold fast that Doctrine which he hath already learned and if thou meanest such Doctrines as are to be learned of thee as no doubt thou doest which is to plead for sin as long as he liveth in the body Then where and when must he glorifie God with his spirit and with his body seeing in the Grave there is no remembrance of him and he whose conversation is not ordered aright whilest he is in the body doth not glorifie him and also none glorifieth God but such as bringeth forth fruit to his Spirit which reproveth man for all sin and leadeth all out of sin which hearkens to and obeys its reproofs and as many as are led by the spirit of God they are the Sons of God and none else and they glorifie their Father which is in Heaven by there conversations which is also in Heaven which is without covetousness pride or any thing which worketh an abomination or maketh a lye all which fruits is shut out of the Kingdom here read thy own state and be not deceived with vain hopes but read within thee that the hope of the hypocrite shall perish and that without remedy and so in truth and in the fear of the Lord I have proved thee a lyer and so thy speech to be nothing worth and this shall stand over thy head a full answer to thy questions and to
