A44639	The seat of the scorner thrown down, or, Richard Hobbs his folly, envy and lyes in his late reply to my book called A looking-glass, &c manifested and rebuked whereunto is annexed my call from the Baptists, to walk in the true light : and a true testimony to the light and power of Christ in the heart with a few queries to the said R.

not_o the_o people_n yet_o we_o do_v not_o read_v of_o any_o but_o blasphemer_n against_o god_n so_o perverse_a as_o this_o night-watch-man_n be_v to_o charge_v the_o true_a prophet_n spirit_n with_o the_o false_a prophet_n presumption_n and_o wickedness_n as_o he_o do_v the_o light_n of_o christ_n our_o principle_n with_o c._n b_n presumption_n and_o wickedness_n and_o then_o again_o antichrist_n the_o man_n of_o sin_n he_o sit_v in_o the_o temple_n of_o god_n and_o say_v that_o he_o be_v god_n and_o under_o the_o name_n of_o christ_n do_v work_v in_o the_o mystery_n of_o iniquity_n and_o so_o do_v great_a evil_n under_o the_o name_n of_o christianity_n as_o this_o day_n we_o see_v christendom_n full_a of_o abomination_n by_o which_o it_o be_v become_v as_o a_o wilderness_n for_o beast_n of_o prey_n to_o live_v in_o now_o be_v it_o kind_a deal_v with_o the_o christian_n to_o charge_v they_o to_o be_v lead_v by_o the_o spirit_n of_o antichrist_n because_o he_o pretend_v to_o the_o

he_o not_o so_o much_o wrong_v as_o we_o be_v by_o his_o charge_v our_o principle_n with_o c._n b_n spirit_n and_o the_o effect_n thereof_o for_o if_o our_o fellowship_n stand_v only_o in_o outward_a and_o bodily_a exercise_n as_o the_o fellowship_n of_o water-dipping_a and_o christendom_n fellowship_n by_o sprinkle_v do_v than_o may_v our_o principle_n be_v the_o easy_a charge_v with_o his_o

truth_n therefore_o not_o to_o b●_n judge_v by_o the_o practice_n of_o evil_a man_n and_o this_o to_o wit_n their_o carnal_a fellowship_n be_v the_o cause_n of_o their_o thus_o oppose_v gain_n say_v and_o blaspheme_v against_o the_o light_n of_o christ_n which_o whosoever_o walk_v therein_o have_v fellowship_n with_o god_n and_o one_o with_o another_o and_o this_o night-watch-man_n say_v if_o this_o to_o wit_n bayly_n be_v action_n be_v not_o a_o proof_n of_o bayly_n be_v in_o fellowship_n with_o the_o quaker_n than_o he_o know_v not_o what_o be_v and_o here_o i_o believe_v he_o that_o our_o fellowship_n he_o know_v not_o no_o more_o than_o christendom_n at_o large_a do_v and_o in_o this_o his_o ignorance_n must_v we_o leave_v he_o till_o he_o can_v believe_v in_o the_o light_n which_o will_v give_v he_o to_o see_v and_o know_v wherein_o our_o fellowship_n stand_v another_o proof_n that_o c._n b._n be_v in_o fellowship_n with_o the_o quaker_n he_o have_v because_o some_o

this_o prove_v not_o the_o matter_n no_o more_o than_o the_o weakness_n of_o a_o young_a child_n can_v prove_v the_o strength_n of_o a_o strong_a man_n and_o now_o be_v it_o reasonable_a to_o judge_v the_o principle_n of_o the_o quaker_n by_o the_o action_n of_o they_o which_o be_v but_o just_a then_o as_o it_o be_v convince_v and_o be_v very_o young_a and_o tender_a as_o i_o say_v before_o in_o my_o looking-glass_n for_o the_o baptist_n they_o can_v not_o easy_o discern_v and_o be_v afraid_a to_o judge_v and_o now_o to_o judge_v the_o principle_n and_o fellowship_n by_o such_o sure_o among_o wise_a man_n this_o will_v be_v count_v folly_n and_o condemn_v for_o prejudice_n and_o in_o pag._n 9_o he_o say_v if_o duke_n howard_n have_v prove_v by_o some_o convince_a argument_n that_o the_o

that_o l●ght_n within_o themselves_o and_o not_o rather_o by_o faith_n in_o the_o death_n the_o resurrection_n and_o ascension_n of_o christ_n without_o we_o for_o we_o which_o be_v the_o chief_a point_n in_o controversy_n between_o we_o say_v this_o opposer_n of_o christ_n the_o life_n and_o light_n of_o man_n and_o so_o indeed_o it_o be_v and_o now_o that_o i_o have_v in_o my_o first_o

say_v this_o scoffer_n at_o the_o light_n that_o if_o he_o have_v prove_v that_o the_o quaker_n light_n be_v christ_n etc._n etc._n as_o if_o the_o quaker_n light_n and_o the_o true_a light_n that_o light_v every_o man_n that_o come_v into_o the_o world_n be_v two_o here_o we_o affirm_v to_o all_o the_o world_n that_o we_o never_o speak_v of_o any_o other_o light_n in_o we_o but_o that_o which_o all_o man_n be_v light_v with_o even_o christ_n a_o light_n to_o lighten_v the_o gentile_n and_o the_o glory_n of_o israel_n and_o if_o this_o christ_n the_o light_n life_n wisdom_n and_o power_n of_o

the_o rebellious_a in_o all_o age_n and_o generation_n but_o in_o all_o the_o obedient_a christ_n within_o the_o hope_n of_o glory_n and_o christ_n in_o you_o except_o you_o be_v reprobate_n say_v paul_n and_o this_o be_v our_o light_n wherein_o our_o fellowship_n stand_v with_o god_n and_o one_o with_o another_o and_o this_o all_o be_v ignorant_a of_o who_o make_v it_o their_o business_n to_o

rather_o in_o christ_n without_o we_o for_o we_o to_o which_o i_o answer_v by_o live_a experience_n that_o christ_n jesus_n who_o offer_v up_o his_o body_n through_o the_o eternal_a spirit_n and_o pour_v out_o his_o soul_n unto_o death_n and_o taste_v death_n for_o every_o man_n those_o his_o suffering_n have_v a_o live_a extent_n unto_o every_o one_o that_o do_v believe_v and_o feel_v the_o power_n by_o which_o he_o lay_v down_o that_o body_n and_o take_v it_o up_o again_o and_o these_o be_v they_o unto_o who_o he_o become_v a_o saviour_n from_o sin_n and_o give_v they_o a_o inheritance_n into_o glory_n and_o those_o which_o believe_v only_o the_o offer_n up_o of_o the_o body_n and_o feel_v not_o that_o eternal_a power_n to_o save_v from_o sin_n make_v manifest_a to_o they_o in_o his_o spiritual_a height_n can_v have_v a_o real_a sense_n and_o feel_v of_o the_o benefit_n of_o his_o death_n whatsoever_o they_o may_v pretend_v to_o of_o faith_n in_o his_o blood_n neither_o can_v they_o have_v salvation_n to_o their_o soul_n and_o this_o be_v my_o answer_n as_o a_o testimony_n to_o the_o true_a faith_n and_o christ_n of_o god_n a_o quicken_a spirit_n the_o same_o yesterday_o to_o day_n and_o forever_o who_o be_v glorify_v with_o the_o father_n before_o the_o world_n begin_v from_o everlasting_a to_o everlasting_a the_o rock_n of_o age_n and_o so_o
