B08855	The man of sin discover'd or George Whitehead unmask't. And his sheep's clothing pull'd off, that his wolvish nature and spirit may be seen. By several instances of G.VV's lyes, false accusations, and base perversions in his book, entituled Judgement fixed, &c. wherein, altho he subscribes himself a constant servant of Christ, yet by his fruits he's discover'd to obey Antichrist.	Crisp, Thomas, 17th cent.	1682 (1682)	Wing C6952A; ESTC R233492	18,663	17

God to witness to so Gross an Untruth Viz. That they have not Endeavoured to Compel any to a Conformity who were not FULLY satisfyed in their Minds thereto These Untruths are the Speech of Ashdod and discovers you to be Children of Strange Wives Now by these several Instances of G. W. c. their LYES PERSECUTION FORGERY SLANDERS PERVERSIONS also G. W's scornful and disdainful Terms in many places Viz. Resemble the Devil the Devil W. R. giddy headed Fool his likening W. R. to a Snarling Dog and terming us DEVILS DEVILS INCARNATE and many more such black Names it appears If it be true as G. W. says pag. 212. Christ never taught to call Friends FOXONIANS then surely Christ was not his Teacher in these scurrilous Names aforenamed but these do manifest G. W. c. to be those grievous Wolves which the Apostle foretold should enter after his Departure and also which Christ bid beware of For this G. W. hath not only belyed and abused us but he has belyed the Lord in fathering these his wicked Actions on the Spirit of Righteous Judgment but his unrighteous Fruits do prove him not a Constant Servant of Christ as he falsly subscribes himself but a Servant of the Covetous and false Accusing Spirit of Ahab and Jezabel which because Naboth could not yield to part with his Inheritance therefore they falsly accuse him of Blasphemy which thing is not to be read bare as a History but as in Scripture 't is said These Things are an Allegory For in the Revelations 2.20 The Church of Thyatira is charg'd to suffer the Woman Jezabel who as she doth now call'd her self a Prophetess to teach and deceive the Servants of God The same Spirit doth now work in G. W. c. against some who like Naboth cannot part with the Inheritance of their Fathers i. e. the Liberty of their Consciences notwithstanding G. F's c. Pretensions of Comely Order c. as Ahabs was for a Garden of Herbs who promised as fair as G. F. c. can do That he would give a better Vineyard but as Naboth could not then so cannot many now part with their Inheritance that is to say forsake the Teachings of the Spirit of Christ in their own Hearts to obey the Commands of G. W. c. who are acted by such a wicked Spirit for if they should they might thereby not only enslave themselves but their Posterity to the Will and Lust of G. F. G. W. c. or any such hereafter that may be suffered to put on the Sheep's Clothing of good words stole from Scripture to deceive the Simple Hearted as they have done if they have the same presumptious Confidence to write on the Head of their own Imaginations the same or such Names of Blasphemy as G. F. c. have done to their needless Imaginations I oppose not the People called Quakers in general or their Principle the Light of Christ Jesus in the Heart or Conscience of every one to be thereby taught and led for of the Truth and Sufficiency thereof I am well satisfyed But it is this Jezabel's Spirit that I oppose which doth guide and act this G. W. c. as is fully discovered by the aforementioned Lyes Forgeries and Slanders which are the Grapes of Sodom brought forth by this G. W. c. in whom the wicked One is grown to the height and Strength of the Man of Sin the Son of Perdition for none else dare be so wicked as to father so great wickedness upon the Spirit of Righteous Judgment but now the Sheep's-Cloathing is pull'd off from the Woovish Spirit which guides G. W. c. It will not be safe for Friends to follow the Footsteps of this Flock for they are not the Paths of the Just And if it be true They which do Evil hate the Light then this G. W. cannot love it but is an Adversary thereto Altho the Wicked shall do wickedly and shall not understand yet the Humble God will Teach for whose Information this Discovery is published By T. Crisp
