A36289	A pick-tooth for swearers, or, A looking glass for atheists and prophane persons wherein the greatness of the party offended, the solemn giving of the law, together with the strickness and purity thereof, the unquestionable verity of the Holy Scriptures, and what fearfull sentence the wiked may expect in the great day are briefly touched.	Donaldson, James, fl. 1697-1713.	1698 (1698)	Wing D1854; ESTC R25002	12,163	24

inumerable Multitudes who by their Practise say no less I have even heard some Verbaly express as much and plead almost in the same words 7 The Quakers abuse this Scripture when they make use of it against Swearing in Judgement when Necessarly called thereto To fear the LORD and swear by His Name is no part of the Cerimonal Law as some of them Foolishly Plead Neither is Swearing altogether Discharged as doth appear by the 37 Verse where 't is laid But let your Communication be yea yea and nay nay what ever 's more to wit in Common Discourse cometh of evil And Paul writing to the Galatians Chap. 1 Ver. 20. useth a more solemn Attestation in taking GOD to witness the truth of what he wrote And I hope no Quaker will aledge there is anie evill in this Expression 'T is Probable Sweating by the Temple Altar and Jerusolem have been the Common Oaths of those times Wherefore our Saviour Particularly mentioneth them thereby giving a Coppy to his Apostles and Ministers to insist in Reproving the predomining sin of the times wherein they Live I confess the Quakers run in the safest exeem 't is much better to Decline sweating in Judgement than Rapp out such Dreadful and Execrable Oaths so frequently as many do But all Extreams being bad none of them are approveable 8 'T is observable all the Miracles wrought by our Blessed Saviour were of Mercy and Compassion He could have made Wine of VVater at any time but He did it not till there was need for it And the People that invited Him to the VVedding like to be affronted for want thereof He could have created Bread at any time but he did it not till there was need thereof to Refresh great multitudes in desart places when Food could not easily be otherwise had And so forth of all the Rest. 9 There 's one thing renders the Miracles pretended to be wrought by the Church of Rome greatly suspicious much contrar to the example of our Saviour and his Apostles they work their Miracles always before such as doubt nothing of the Truth of their Doctrine VVhereas the other only before Great Multitudes of unbelievers did work Miracles of purpose they might believe I confess I have heard some times the Papists have Endeavoured to put a cheat on others not of their own profession impretending to Cure some Persons that they have Suborned to faign themselves Impotent as that Boy at Aberdeen mentioned in Kno●● Historie One at Dublin within this seven years And a VVoman in the North of Ireland that through their Perswasion faigned her self Dumb whom a Gentleman that law her Carried about by some Priests or Friers showing her to the People Offering to restore her to her speech told me that he was in Company Where a Gentleman Jealous of the deceit Threatened her and when she would not speak for a long time he Lashed her soundly with a Whip til she Cry'd out and Confes'd the deceit Some such wonderful Miracles I believe may be wrought by these Gentlemen But I Resolve to suspend my Faith of their Doctrine I mean their Traditions and Tenets Repugnant to Holy Write till I see them Confirmed by some Miracle where there is no ground of Suspition I do not doubt but the Gentle-men who Endeavour to put such Hocus Tricks upon the simple may also deny the matter of Fact of these Instances I have given no wonder since one of that gang with whom I Discoursed within these few year● had the Impudence to deny their was any such thing as a Masacker of the Protestants by the Popists in Ireland within these forty or fifty years tho' the Fact be so Natour many Thousand● yet Alive that saw it with their eye● He affirmed the Protestants had a Designe to cut off of all the Papists and they in their own Defence only were obliged to use some Hostilities c. 10 Just while this was at the Press a Pamphlet Intitulat An Easie way with the Diests came to the Publick which solveth this Point Pretty well wherefore I referr you to it Only by the by I would say to the Quakers if the Church had Contemned neglected the Sacraments as they do we would have wanted one good Proof for confirming the Truth of the Holy Scrip●ures For not only do these Ordinances Exhibit and hold forth to our Senses the Efficacie and Virtue of Christs Blood and Sufferings and help us to a more distink uptaking of spiritual things But also are a most pregnant Evidence of the Verity of the Scriptures seing
