Clearly laid open in an answer to Thomas Moor, who calls his book an Antidote against the spreading infections, &c. Wherein is discovered the crooked ways the winding Serpent takes to save his head, and reproach the truth with lies, that by any means he might make people believe that a lying spirit is among the Quakers, but is found within him.

of Christ with that he would be brought to deny you all who are out of his way and have not his Word abiding in you To the Eleventh Query which asketh What that way in the Wilderness is which is called the way of Holiness and whether any may expect to finde it in these dayes To this thou saist Christ Jesus is the way the Truth and the Rom. 8. 10. Life and none can come to the Father but by him I say that these are true words but thou that makest it thy work to preach him out of the World till Doomes-day and confine him in the Heavens alone hast excluded him for being away to those now in the world to lead them out of the World which cannot ascend up into Heaven there to walk in him as a way so thou hast shut up the Kingdome against men as thy Fathers ever did And an Answer to the latter part of the Query which thou hast left unanswered must needs follow that none can expect to find such a way in these dayes nor till after they be dead where the Serpent perswades all his Hearers of their Righteousness And so of their Way also and so keeps his Way in the World In answer to the 12 Querie What that manifestation of the Spirit is given to every man to profit withall and whether there be any profiting but by it To the first part of this Querie thou saist it is that one Spirit which is in that one person of the Son of God and this person thou hast limited from the earth till domes day and doth not confesse to the Spirit manifest within the creature but tells of a distinct understanding of that Spirit and his testimony concerning Christ which is no more from thee but an imagination as all that knowes the Spirit may judge for there is no manifestation of the Spirit of God upon earth but what is within and those that it witnessed it manifested witnessed it dwelling in them but thy testimony is as far different as the Heavens is from the earth And for the two latter parts of the Querie whether it be not of it selfe an infallible guide and whether there be any profiting but by it least they should fal on thy head having named them thou tellest a lie and therewith makest an escape saying they are sufficiently answered before 1 Cor. 6. 19. To the 13 Querie what and where that worship of God in Spirit is and whether any can worship in Spirit but those that are borne of the Spirit and whether they so borne need any other guide in his spirituall worship but that Spirit of which they are borne and whether such worshippers have not been are now different from all other worshippers in the world And to the forepart of this thou addest some words as touching the Samaritans worship and Jews worship not to the purpose but as concerning whether any can worship in Spirit but such as are borne in Spirit and whether they need any other guide but that Spirit and all the rest of the Querie which is the most materiall to shew thy deceipts from these thou stealest away without any answer at all as though the naming them over againe was sufficient Art thou not ashamed to call these answers dost thinke all are as blind as thy selfe and those thy companions whom thou hast blinded This day is the Lord through the pride of thy heart covering thee with thy own shame and is discovering the skirts of the whore and her nakednesse appeares and shall more appeare that the fire may be kindled wherein to burne her and all her Merchants that have beene made rich through the abundance of her delicacy begin to bewaile and stand aftre of for feare of her torments crying for helpe yet shall the Nations which have beene deceived see her lewdnesse and be set free from her witchcrafts then shall the Lord be knowne present and praised To the 14 Querie which is about the light thou confessest it to be Jesus Christ which lighteth every man which cometh into the world but perceiving it against thy selfe doctrine and trading in the conclusion thou would bind it only to the enlightening of them who are beleivers and would deny the light to be the condemnation of the unbelievers saying it is not the coming Job 3. 15 of the light to them is the condemnation when Christ saith this is the condemnation that light is come into the world and men loved darknesse rather then light and If I had not come they had not had sin But thy testimony is contrary so they that beleive thee 2 Cor. 4. 6. make Christ a liar and they that beleives Christ makes thee a liar and thou would'st limit this light to be personall which all the Children of the light have know ne shining in their hearts which is the condemnation of them that know it not nor can the Children of darknesse judge of the light what it is who puts it afarre off yet thou that hates it hast it against thee though thou have it not with thee not being guided by it To the 15 Querie what the law of the Spirit of life is which made Paul free from the law of sin and death c. And instead of answering this thou fallest a wrangling with it and thou would make people believe that Pauls freedom he speaks of Rom. 8. 2. from the law of sin and death was not from that law that led him into captivity to sin which he complaines on and so thy first thing is to prove the Apostle a lyar who saies the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law oi sin and death for what the law could not do in that it was weake thorough the flesh the Son of God condemning the sin in the flesh that the righteousnesse of the law might be fulfilled in the creature by Christ Another thing where thou would prove him a liar is in that he saith he is made free from the law of sin and death and this thou also wholly denies as though thou knew his condition better then he did himselfe And thou callest the body of sin a law and the law of sin another law and such mangled stuffe not worth mentioning and for which thou hast no proof but thy blind Imaginations who would have 3 or 4 Lawes but not one of them in the Heart onely the Law of sinne and thou concludest that the Proposer of the Queries cannot make out what God hath revealed to him and thy ground is because he hath propounded these Queries as much as to say He that asked Questions of the Scribes and Pharisees could not make out his Revelations and this is thy reasoning whereby thou wouldst shew another mans folly Indeed to the blind guides he could never make out his Revelations nor can he now where he is but who wants abilities to make out any thing of the spirit of God and thinkes to

Wherein is discovered the crooked ways the winding Serpent takes to save his head and reproach the truth with Lies That by any means he might make people believe that a lying Spirit is among the Quakers but is found within him With 48.

Satans Design discovered THo Moor Thou call thy book a discovery of a lying Antichristian Spirit in some of those called Quakers which thou hast set forth to blind the world from seeing thy own Antichristian lying doctrine thou was found in when we was with thee and whereof thou was reproved by the Spirit of truth and thou confounded which is the cause of all this fome mire and dirt which like the Sea thy rage casts up in which thou hast more fully laid open to all that are in the Spirit of Christ that thou art that Antichrist and lyer and false-accuser which thou would accuse us with and so the more the Serpent sties in the leaves the more discovered blessed be our light for ever dost thou thinke to hide thy selfe by accusing thy damnable doctrine upon us or to broach thy denialls of Christ the more hiddenly by accusing us to deny Christ which is the thing for which we declare against thee and hast made it thy great work in thy booke to deny the Father and the Son in the Saints and ever amongst to blind people that they should not see thy ends thou falsly accuses us to deny them suudry times in thy booke possessing people that we deny and Preach down the person of Jesus of Nazareth of the seed of David the worke of redemption wrought for us in his own person as tipes shadows or figures of the true Christ which is to befound in some other thing that we preach this down as the Apostles preached down circumcision temple sacrifies this thou gathers from my letter I wrot to thee which thou hast printed because I said the flesh of Christ is the food of my inward man To which accusation I say the Lord be Judge betweene me and that lying murtherous Spirit whether I own any other righteousnesse than that everlasting righteousnesse of God wrought in the person of Jesus Christ of Nazereth his suffering resurrection and ascention according to the Scriptures and that endures from generation to generation and all inherits that same righteousnesse as by faith they receive the same Jesus and further I say let all modest Christians who reads that letter Judge what ground thou hast to conclude any such thing against me and so be thou Judged with all honest hearts as thou hast dealt therein and all the rest of thy lies and slanders cast upon us in thy book And for their sakes who else might have beene led to speake evill of that they know not I rejoyce that letter is come to light And thou thy lies and confusions art revealing from thy own pen which many would scare have believed from another so that if any who know any thing of Christ within read thy book they may throughout thy book see thy worke who having denied the Father and Son in thy selfe what crooked waies thou takes to thrust him out of the world a so which was ever Satans worke who can never be quiet in his Kingdom so long as Christ appeares in any of his Saints on earth to witnesse against him but could he limit him only into Heaven and perswade people never to waite sor his appearance in their hearts then might he rule the creature without controule let and set at his pleasure for he knows none can reveale him though in the Temple of God he sit in the hearts of people but the brightnesse of Christs coming in his light into the hearts where he is so he sets his Ministers to Preach Christ without in literall tradition that so he may keepe his house in peace within and so keepe God out of his Temple and dwelling place which is the bodies of his Saints but now the Lord is comming and taking people to himself whom he is clensing and some he hath clensed and is in his dwelling place praised for ever and in whom he beares witnesse against the Devill and his doctrine in the great assemblies and many are inclining to the voice of the Shepheard of their souls and the day is come that the Prince of this world must be judged and all his shews and likenesses wherein he hath shewed himselfe to be as God exalted in the Temple of God above all that is called God and the mystery of iniquity is revealed and revealing on the Head of all ungodliness and deceiveableness which he hath wrought in men all this time of the mystery of iniquity since men have denied the Spirit of truth and by it to be guided and have chused their imaginations instead thereof And now his Ministers of all sorts is hard put to it and he hath put into their hands all the old armour wherewithall he used in former ages to fight against the appearance of Christ and all his Kingdom is up in armes with such weapons as they have bestirring themselves against the Lambe in whomever he appeares the grosser sort with stones and clubs the greater sort with whips and prisons and cruell bonds another sort swearing and for swearing against the innocent that they might roote him out of the earth and the Head of the Serpent is making refuge of lies and slanders thereby to

must leave behind them taking the same flesh and bones but not the same bloud But such confused work makes the Serpent when he would be preaching things which are hid from him It were bettet for thee and many such like to come down out of the Chambers of your Imaginations and sit at the seet of Christ and own the teaching of his Spirit and his Light that so thou may know what the bloud of Christ is from him by its effects then to stand teaching others thou knowest not what Come down into the dust and stop thy mouth thou vain Babler and exercise not thy self in things too high for thee and if ever thou come to know any thing of the Kingdome thou wilt see thy self shut out among the Pharisees and Sadduces who was jangling about the Resurrection with the Spirit of the Devil in them denying his Testimony Light and Spirit who is the Resurrection and lived out of his Doctrine as thou may read Mat. 23. And read thy self therein with the Light thou opposest only this difference they looked for him to come and thou sayst he is gone and not come again but neither of you own him present to judge rule and guide you So thy wayes is as far from his Doctrine and Practice as theirs was if not further though thou have got more words so greater condemnation And thou tellest much what need we have of Christ in the Heavens but didst thou know thy condition thou would'st see as much need of him here also to guide thee out of the World and these Pharisaical wayes For who hath him not with them to lead out of the World and give victory here will finde little benefit by his being in Heaven and this thou and many more will know when he comes to Judgment who little mind his fellowship here but joyn with the Enemy to preach him out of the World because he beareth Witness that the deeds thereof are evil so by this the Devil gets his work done in Earth preaching of a Christ in Heaven and the Creature knowes none to redeem from it no nearer then after death Thou sayst none yet hath ceased from their own workes I say none that are in thy workes have who is pleading for sinne and denying the Spirit of GOD to work in thee thou must needes be in thy own workes but what is that in thee that judgeth all other and yet denyest Christ in thee that is the Lyar from the beginning and by the Spirit of God which worketh in me in which is my Rest do I bear Witness against him so to be and a thousand in the Nation that can witness the same who are brought to Rest in his everlasting Work and will But this no Hireling knowes nor can judge of though you may read of that condition in the Letter Thou accusest me for belying the Apostle in saying he preached the Word Faith in the heart Rom. 10. I say let read any the 8. 9. Verses of that Chapter who knowes either Word or Faith or Words of the Letter and judge if the Apostle there did not preach both Word and Faith in the Heart and so let the Lye return into the bosome of the Lyar from whence it came Thou sayst God did not impute the Trespasses of the World to them but caused them to meet together on him I say if God impute not sinne to the World nothing else can condemn them this opens a large gap to the Workes thou art pleading for but were thou not blind thou mayst see the Apostle speakes of such as received the Word of Reconciliation but for the rest you shall know that sinne will be imputed where it is committed And thou makest much ado to prove that the Disciples of Christ nor any other should see him any more after his Ascention while they lived If any know no more but to believe thee and thy ground is because Christ said the dayes would come that they should desire to see one of the dayes of the Son of Man and shall not see it I say he told them also that they should mourn in the while of his absence but he would come again and their mourning should be turned into joy when the manchild should be born into the world and commanded them Act. 1. 4. 8. John 16. 19. 20 21 22. John 16. 16. they should not depart from Jerusalem but wait for that they had heard of him then should they be witnesses unto him to the utmost parts of the earth which was accomplished at his second comming in the spirit according to his promise which thou would deny his appearance unto which there was such gathering and is such gathering blessed be the Father who hath hid it from the Serpent who spends his time in jangling about it but never the wiser yet to the Babes it is revealed And thou sayst that our boasting of some inward ight or spirit to be listened to and received must needs be another spirit and bring in another Jesus a contrary anointing I say the Apostles preached the spirit and light within shining in their hearts to give the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus and this Treasure they had in the earthen vessels and 2 Cor. 4. 6 7. did they preach a false Christ or a contrary spirit or anointing though thou know not the Christ they preached nor that spirit blush for shame to utter thy blasphemy against the spirit of God and his light which none knows but within them and which all hearkens to in spirit and preacheth from but the Ministers of Antichrist whereof thou hast proved thy self one sufficiently who knowes not the Law written in the heart nor the testimony of Jesus which is the spirit of Prophesie because thou ownest no light in thee And thou sayst there is not another manner of preaching to be given then that of the Apostles to the end of the world I say then all Hirelings and Parish-masters stop our mouthes who are out of that manner yea and matter also for the Apostles was not Ministers of the Letter but of the spirit which thou hast sufficiently denied in thy Book and if there need no more preaching then what the Apostles preached you may spare your pains and the people their mony for that is preached and printed already and they have suffered for it so let it alone and take not mony for making it worse Thou pretendest to answer some Queries but first thou casts over them thy reproachful lying poysonous Tongue as thou hast done by my Letter as nothing that comes from the truth can escape thy envy and slander saying that they reproach the acknowledgement of one that died for all and all the way scoffe at the promise of his coming and many such like filthy lies whcih the least modesty that reades the Queries may see thy shameless impudency calling us unclean spirits when thy venom defiles all thou meddles with

finde it by asking questions he had need of a better resolver then thee that had answered these Queries or any who deny the infallible spirit of God within them And thou tells of a new birth and the forming of Christ in men but what birth is that thou intends and what Christ must be formed within seeing thou hast in thy judgement and Doctrine confined the Son of God in Heaven while this World lasts art not thou preaching another Christ and birth let all who have the Son of God judge The last Query which askes what the grace of God is that brings salvation and hath appeared to all men this thou answerest with a slander saying that indeed we believe no such thing as the grace of God appearing to all men but put a fancy in the room of it c. Shewing thy heart void of grace and so more ready to slander then answer having more experience of the one then the other and no wonder though it be so when thou deniest the spirit of Light within to be the true Teacher and thou sayst that which is alwayes within cannot be properly said to be brought to a man wherein thou shewest thy sottishness Is not the life of man brought to him freely given of God and yet alwayes in him while he lives so natural reason may judge thee and he that gives the life gives the light thereby to keep the life unspotted though such as thou turn it into darknesse and hide it under the Bushel else would it reprove thy lying spirit who would make people believe that I deny the Scriptures because I bid blinde guides search the Scriptures and reprove you who cannot believe what the Scripture saith conderning the flesh of Christ and thou sayst the Ranters principles and ours are one and the greatest ground thon brings to prove it is by Richard Farnsworth writing a Book against them O thou dissembler art thou not ashamed to accuse us to be one with them and yet takes offence that we should write against them Indeed they are true friends to the Kingdom thou art pleading for in thy Book to wit sin for terme of life and strong props in that Kingdom so you can ill spare them and their faith and thine suits well for pleasure here and hereafter yet be ashamed of thy acculation and the ground of it for of above 40 Books written against the truth within this three or foure years I never see one written against the Ranters by your Parish-Teachers yet will you murmur at others which shews no little of your friendship and thou murmurest at Rich Earnsworth because he only blameth them for turning to a loose and prophane life and saist that once the pure law was set up in them to have freed them from Sin and thou saist if he know any thing that their principle led naturally to it but is this no blasphemy to charge the pure law and Judgment naturally to lead to sin for this is the principle that he knowes and speaks of and thou saist he ownes their principales and yet cries out against their grosse prophanes and Atheism so that to own the pure law and Judgment seemes to thee an offence and matter of accusation But saist thou this he doth because that is grosly scandalous and hinders others from harkning to their imaginations O thou devourer how dost thou cast out thy envie are these words becoming Christians thus wickedly to slander and is the pure law and judgment and the light within imaginations with thee thou art afraid this should be harkened to and therefore calls it the roote of all Atheisme and propanesse which the Apostles saith want of the light within and because of the blindnesse of the heart is people given over unto lasciviousnesse to worke all uncleanness with greedinesse Eph. 4. 18. and 19. So thou art an enemy to the Apostles testimony light and Spirit Law and Judgments and so art Antichrist out of thy own mouth and let the Apostles words judge thee without wresting And thy envie hath got an object of one about Norwich that pretended perfection whom thou saist yet lived secretly in uncleanesse along time if not in murther too for hiding it I say the woe is to him who hath given thee cause to blaspheme by departing our of the way of God which is perfect but let every sober Christian judge thee with Spirit thou art of what takest that advantage against the truth considering the wickednesse committed in your Parishes where you are Masters and from whom you have your hire which might stop your mouthes frō this glorying were it not that the Devill must rejoyce in his own work who could never get such an advantage against the truth since it begun to spread in the Nation So now he plies it with reproaches from all parts of the Nation which is no little sorrow to them that feare God nor will it be joy to you one day who aggravate it as thou dost adding murther to it which if thou know such a thing and conceale it the blood be upon thy head but it thou know not such a thing then a murderous slanderer thou art and thy own works shall judge thee in every honest heart who reades what thou hast published to all the world And for thy accusing us at our meeting for incivilities as for calling you liars Serpents Sots and such like I say if any did call you that you are not you are more innocent then they I justify no such thing but this I know and many other that was there that one of thy companions had his staffe up to have knock't me down in the yard gnashing at me with his teeth and narrowly I escaped that it was not so had you had any such carriage from us reason might have judged it uncivill but a Word from us is counted In offence when Actions from the world is counted none And thou would 't charge James Parnell with blasphemy who speaking of corrupt reason saith before that was I am I say thou here shewest what thou knowest of the inward man or being in the life of Christ Is not he that is born again of the immortal seed borne of that which before corrupt reason is art thou a teacher and calls this blasphemy Nay it is the blasphemer in thee that cannot own the voyce of Christ for if any thing of Christ speak in man it was before corrupt reason was and every one in their measures of Christ as they have received And for the name of Manifesterians which thou wouldest cast upon us for a slander and saist thou know'st not any called Manifesterians nor what manner of persons they apply that name to and said it thou never heard of any such thing that John Wray called you so in some letters I say then thou should have beene sent and not have Judged that thou heard not for the letter is yet a witnesse for us which came to mee above 60 miles from John

Wrays house with an invitation to meet those called Manifesterians though thou be so shamelesse in thy book as to deny and faist thou dost not beleive that we was sent for and so with thy false beleife took occasion to slander us with buglary and so not having the Spirit in thee to bridle thy tongue nor faith in thy heart thy tongue runnes without guide after thine envy and being told of it denies it and calls others liars and because thou hast Titled thy booke a lying and Antichristian Spirit discovered in some of those called Quakers I shall gather up some of thy lies from thy own mouth and send them back into the old vessell where the liar sits till thou make proofe of them First That we did signifie our resolution not to come to the meeting at John Wrays and then came to it 2. That we acknowledge not the grace of God in the death and resurrection of Christ to be the foundation of Salvation 3. That we would lay another foundation 4. That we murther the Just One in us 5. That we move people to take heed to the Light within them to take them off from looking to Jesus 6. That we imagine the person of the Son of God to be some further type of the true Light 7. That we imagine Christ to be something naturall in every man naturally 8. That we never direct any man to look for any supernatural Grace 9. That we are of the number that Judge no act of Sin to be of it self sinful but to him that judgeth it so 10. That I said that which taught to deny some gross sins yet doth not herein teach to deny Sin but to deny God 11. That we deny the power and root of Godliness under ashew of Godliness 12. That we are enemies to the Cross of Christ 13. That we are enemies to his personal sufferings for the taking away of sin 14. That we are enemies to the love and glory of God appearing in the face of him 15. That we seek to undermine this in pretence of magnifying Christ in us 16. That we glory therein 17. That we slight the Scriptures 18. That my intention was to make a nullity or shadow of the person Jesus of Nazareth and of those works done in his own Body 19. That we stormed at thee because thou didst not fall down and worship Rie Farmsworth 20. That we would cast off all the Scriptures if we did not fear is would be disadvantageous to our design 21. That I have in my heart wholly rejected the faith of that one person of the Son of God in our Nature 22. That our designe was to marie the visage of the Son of man 23. That we were glad of the occasion to be gon out of Iohn Wrays house 24. That Iohn Wray invited us againe to his house after we was put out 25. That I would pervert the doctrine of the Apostles 26. That I slandered our Saviour himself 27. That I pervert the Gospel of Christ 28. That I preach and bear witness of another Jesus 29. That I move you to listen to another Spirit 30. That I bring another Doctrine then that the Prophets and Apostles spake of 31. That the Jesus I bear witness of is not already come in flesh 32. That I charged you with denying Christ come in the flesh because you affirmed his appearing to put away sin in his own person Jesus of Nazareth 33. That we signified all to be strangors to the coming of Christ that would not worship us 34. That I moved you to receive another Spirit then that which is in and with the hearing of faith 35.

That we command them to wait for some other imdiate teaching 38. That I bring another Gospel then that the Apostles had preached 39. That I exclude my self from the Prayers of Christ for his blessing upon his Ministration 40. That I preach down that manifestation of God in the flesh of that one person as for us 41. That indeed we believe no such a thing as the grace of God appearing to men and bringing salvation to them as wrought in Christ 42. That we teach men to follow their own Spirit and have seen nothing That it is not unusual with us to pretend highly against a thing when in our hearts we justifie or allow it 43. That we pretend as much for a thing that in heart we are enemies to 44. That our bottom Principles are one with the Ranters 45. That we at the best seek to establish our own righteousness but stumble at the Righteousness of Christ 46. That our Principles have the same fruits in them as to gross Atheism or Blasphemy of as high a nature as the Ranters 47. That our mortification stands in despising Dominion speaking evil of Dignities casting off all Civil and Natural respects where due and the like 48.
