THE HORN OF THE He-goat broken OR AN ANSWER to a lying Book called The chasing the young Quaking Harlot out of the Citie Published by a scorner of the Truth called Thomas Winterton His Deceit and Ignorance laid open his lies reproved and the Quaeries answered for the sake of the simple By a lover of Righteousnesse called Richard Huberthorn LONDON Printed for Giles Calvert at the Black-spread-Eagle at the West end of Pauls 1656. TO THE READER READER THE time is come and coming wherein the God of Heaven is setting up his Kingdome which is not carnall but spirituall and establishing his Throne in righteousnesse and the day is appeared and appearing wherein all that oppose him shall be ashamed Now when he is declaring his righteousnesse and his saving health in the Nations and now the Man of Sin and Antichrist is discovered and the hidden things is brought to light and now when his enemies cannot hide themselves any longer but their shame must appeare who are covered and not with the spirit of the Lord. Therefore I say because the Lord in his mercy hath caused his marvellous light to arise in the earth the Prince of darknesse is angry and all his subjects because their judgement drawes nigh and their strength must be thrown down And as the Lord hath made manifest his light more than in some generations past Therefore the rage of the old Dragon is greater and his Angels and Instruments who are to be taken with the Beast and the false Prophet and shut up in the pit and sealed in utter darknesse for ever and therefore he is come forth in his power and his strength and all his subjects every one with such weapons as they have some with clubs some with prisons whippings reproaches and mockings some with their corrupt sensuall wisdome to oppose some with lies and slanders but all is at work to defend their Masters Kingdome and would not have the man to rule Christ Jesus who will judge all their unrighteousness and bring down the Beast out of his seat amongst whom thou mayst see Tho. Winterton sitting neer his Master unto whom he is fallen upon the throne of unrighteousness In a former Book he denied any thing above nature to guide man and in this his last book would judge of us by his evill consequence and he hath denied that he hath any thing that is infallible but he saith he judges by his imaginary faculty and he judges us in the 15. page to be Harlots because we speak plain language as Thou and so hath made all the holy men of God Harlots and adulterers who used the same and so blasphemously against the spirit of truth hath set him self and makes lies his refuge as the rest of the Dragons Army do and therefore these few things mind wherein his shame is laid open and his lies denied and his sensuall Quaeries answered which rose from his imaginary faculty And so take heed Reader thou come not in the way of the liers nor lend thy ear to the wicked but mind the light of Christ Jesus which will shew thee men of corrupt minds and corrupt things and seeing in the single eye In vain doth the Fowler spread his net in the sight of the Bird. Try all things by measure of the Spirit hold that which is good A friend to righteousness I am and a lover of thy soul R. H. An Answer to Tho. Winterton his Book which he affirmeth to be a Chasing of the young quaking Harlot out of the Citie which if those that he writes against be not by it chased out of the Citie then all may take him to be a false Prophet which reads what he hath affirmed by his book to be brought to passe IN thy former Book thou hast been proved to deny the Father Son and Spirit and denied that there is any thing in thee above nature And in this book also thou hast made it manifest to be guided onely by the naturall senses and so to be sensual having not the Spirit and so in this thy sensuall wisdom without the Spirit of God thou goest about to prove us to be the Harlot and to be upon two dangerous designes the first by our Doctrine the second by the Sword First as from our Doctrine to prove it thou bringest four particulars as first that we say That the peoples senses understanding and reason were carnall fleshly and unto condemnation To which I answer All people which hate the light of Christ as thou dost and set up reason and imagination to be their guide knows nothing above nature in them their senses are reprobate and their understandings darkned and their reason carnall and fleshly which is for condemnation with the light And to those thar were sensuall whose reason was carnall and fleshly did the Apostles minister condemnation as thou may read in the Scriptures and yet that proved them not to be harlots but their design in their doctrine was to exalt Christ which is the true light and lightneth every one that cometh into the world and our design is the same against which no inchantmens lies nor false accusations from Priests nor Atheists can prevail The second particular wherein thou would prove us to be the Harlot and our design to be dongerous is because we say That Christ lightneth every one that cometh into the world And to this thou thy self in the fifth page of thy Book confessest to be a truth clear from Scripture and that this light discovers to every one that will both good and evil and in the fourth page thou callest this particular That Christ hath lightned every one that comes into the World a pure truth and yet thou would make the people believe that we were the Harlot for holding forth the pure truth and so thy own breath as fire shall devoure thee And hereby the pure truth of God which we hold forth is cleared and thou broken to pieces by the stone upon which thou fallest But all thy Atheisme and all the Priests doctrine cannot make the people so blind as to believe that holding forth the pure truth of God will make us to be an Harlot or our design dangerous and here thou hast manifested thy spirit that all may see what we are accused for by whom being accused to be harlots hereticks deceivers and deluders blasphemers and dangerous because we hold forth the pure truth of God according to the Scriptures yea so far hath God turned the wise backward and made their wisdome foolishnesse that even our enemies and accusers are forced to confesse that it is holding forth the pure truth according to the Scripture for which we are accused as T. Winterton hath done to his own shame and confusion The third particular from which thou would prove us to be the harlot and our designes dangerous are in these words which thou sayst thou gathered from our Doctrine That who so believes in this light it is as a fire and a
