true Spirits order to further make manifest your disorder and also your Spirit of delusion and errour And again you say God will judge the secrets of all hearts by the written word or letter of the Scripture when the Minister of Christ saith the contrary who saith that God will Judge the secrets of men by Jesus Christ Rom 2.16 then not by the lettet of the Scripture and the Son saith All judgment is Committed unto him and the Father hath given him authority to execute judgment also because he is the Son but he hath not given authority to the letter of the Scripture to execute judgment because it is the letter of the Scripture and declareth or testifieth of the Son but is not the Son then the Scripture is not the judge of all hearts but the Son is so to wit the judge of all hearts as the Scripture declareth Joh. 5.22 and Joh. 5,26.27 Act. 17 31. Take notice how you would deprive Christ of his Kingly office and take the authoritie from him to put upon the letter and hath againe thereby further manifested your Spirit of errour THE HOLY SCRIPTURES Are cleared of Scandals OR AN ANSWER TO A BOOK Written by Thomas Pallord Henry Hagger As they say In Answer to a Book set ●orth by Richard Farnworth wherein they pretend to clear the truth of Scandals but are found Lyars and the Lyes is sent them back in a bundle or number that they may see their deceipt and Spirit or Lies Errors and Slanders THo Pallord and Henry Hagger who are mighty in the work of your Father John 8.44 you pretend to clear the truth of Scandals but of it are Lyars and Scandallers and evil Speakers and false Accusers and therefore that you may take notice of the fruit of your Fathers Spirit by which you are guided and taught to lie I have viewed your work or scandalous and deceitful Book and gathered out of it being numbred up the sum of 60 and odde or Threescore Lies and more besides many that I have passed by these being sufficient for to manifest your Spirit and the deceit of your heart as also severall lies gathered out of a Paper written or caused to be Printed under the name of John Griffith oue of the water Baptizers with you or in your number and I hare also sent them back amongst you into the lyars Generation again take them and keep them for they are returned back upon you and into the lyars generation from whence they came that Truth may be kept clear and you appear in your lying colours or be laid open who are such great deceivers unto your shame who hath taken upon you to slander and revile the Lotds people by you in disdain called Quakers and also to Prophesie or publish your lies in pretence of the Lords Name But to bo wort I shall lay several of them down return them back upon you from whence they came Tho Pollard Thou hast set down things which I neither spoke nor writ and says I affirmed them when I did not and therefore thy gronnds being lies that which springs out of them is so as well as thy Grounds or Heads but I turn them under and drive them back with the rest of thy Lies into the Serpents seat ugain lyars Generation from whence they came E●…or or Lie the first In thy third page Thou says it is such a deceipt that they that say they have no sin the truth is not in them but thou cannot prove thy saying therein whose fallacy is laid down in that word they which includes any when the Scripture says not so as thou dost and therefore in that thou hast lyed of the truth and truths friends as it appeareth And here thou goes about to prove that Christ and such as are in him hath no truth in them and that is contradiction to the Scripture and the Spirits Doctrine for thou fetbheth Christ in with them and includes all in that word they saying They that say they have no sin the truth is not in thom as much as to say They that are without sin are without truth and have no truth in them but Christ and such as are in him are without sin Therefore if they say they are without sin there is no truth in them as thou says for that is contrary to thy proofless Argument Pollard or Hagger whether of you laid it down take notice of your folly therein here thou would by that have Christ and such as are in him to have no truth in them see what a trick the deceit hath taught thee in that for first it is said of Christ That he sinned not and so was without sin for no guile was found in his month and therefore he was without sin and the truth was in him contrary to thy lying of him for he is both the way the truth and the life Joh. 14.6 and is without sin but full of truth and such as abide in him they sin not as saith the Scripture 1 Joh. 3.5,6 then such as abide in Christ sin not as the Scripture saith they are without sin 1 John 3.9 and the truth is in them for such said That as he was so was they in this present world 1 John 4.16,17 Pallard take notice of thy Errors and Lies and also of thy contradiction of the Scripture For they that did abide in Christ and sinned not 1 John 3.6 they were so far trom being without truth or having no truth in them that they were full of grace and truth for the Spirit of God was in them which was truth and no lie 1 John 3.24 And secondly the word of God was in them 1 John 2.14 and they were strong in the Lord and the power of his truth for they had overcome the wicked one and the word of God were abiding in them and so the truth of God abode within them for saith Christ to his Father Sanctifie them with thy word thy word is truth John 17.17 Then they that had overcome the wicked one and were sanctified through the truth and were without sin having also the word of God abiding within they were full of truth and not without it or no truth in them take notice of thy absurdities and lies for they had the holy Unction within them that were without sin and that was truth and no lie 1 John 2.20 and 27. and greater was he that was in them then he that was in the World 1 Iohn 4.4 take notice of thy lie and that trick of thy deceit Error or Lie the second Thy second Lie is that thou saies we boast of perfection perfection in and by Christ we own else we should deny the truth and the worke of grace according to the working of the Spirit of God as it is witnessed according to the Scripture and by the Ministrie of Christ in the new Covenant Math. 5.48 and Eph. 4.11.12.13 1 Cor. 2.6 Heb. 6.1 Heb. 12.22.23 but though we witnesse

moving cause of faith and salvation and thou hast contradicted the Scriptures and preferred them before Christ and without them thou would have no salvation and so would not have Christ to be a perfect Saviour without them nor to be perfectly able to save to the uttermost all those that come unto God by him though he be as the Scripture witnesseth Hebr 7.27 neither is there any salvation without him Act. 4.12 and as he is the author of faith so he is the author of eternall salvation to all that obey him Hebr. 5.8.9 And thou saies to destroy the ordinances of preaching the Scriptures for that is thy drift by which faith comes must needs tend to destroy faith thou saies and then please God who can That is thy saying but thy designe instead of these men is weighed that goes about to give the Scripture all the preheminence and set it up as God and Christ and no salvation without it but thou art contradicted by it who saith also that the Scripture brings to Christ then it must needs be the ground and cause of faith and salvation if so but thou hast therein erred and lied of Christ and the Scriptures in that thy 37th lie for Christ and the Scriptures will both contradict thee in thy lies and errours for Christ brings to understand the Scriptures Luke 14.32 and saith without mee ye can do nothing then he is the ground of faith and knowing God who giveth an understanding to know him that is true c. as the Scripture witnesseth 1 Joh. .20 and the Spirit revealeth even the deep things of God but thou saies if they can once bring a poore soul into this condition to disowne the Scriptures when he stands most in need of it to bring him to Christ and shew him how he ought to walk so as to please God c Here thou hast confirmed thy former saying and strengthened thy deceipt with thy lies and set the letter of the Scripture in the roome of the Spirit for the Spirit doth guide into all truth Joh. 14.16 Joh. 16.13 and shew things to come and so how to walke to please God for they that are guided by the Spirit of God are the Sons of God Rom. 8.14 c. and walke in the Spirit whereby they please God Rom. 8.1 for God hath sent the Spirit of his Son into the hearts of his Children Gal. 4.6 to teach and guide them 1 Joh. 3.1 Rom. 8 and shew them how to walk to please him Gal. 5.22.23.24 c which Spirit of God and his teachings thou hast shewed thy ignorance in and of now as well as before that said the letter which thou calledst the written word and the Spirit were inseparable and said the scripture were a History and that book which thy lies hath not weakened stands still with this to witnesse against thee and thy deceipt and such as thou art the 37. Error or Lie The Scripture thou saies is a perfect rule to walke by that confirmes thy other lies also page 22. Here thou contradicts the promise and doctrine of Christ Joh. 14.15.16,17 who promised and gave his Spirit to be a perfect rule to walk by and guide into all truth Joh 16,13 Gal. 4.6 Rom. 8. and here thou hast manifested another errour or thy 37 lie Againe thou saies the Scriptures is the guide into the way of truth and peace so hath put the letter to guide instead of the Spirit which Spirit Christ calls a guide to guide into all truth John 16.13 and so into the way of truth peace Joh. 14.20.26 here thou hast lied of Christ the Spirit which is the true guide hath set the letter of the Scriptures to guide into the way of truth peace but they have not guided thee out of errour lying and deceipt nor into the way of truth peace that art charged here with thy 37. or 38 lies besides what followeth after therefore thy Spirit is tried knowne to be the Spirit of errour who hath made lies thy refuge which thou art found in so out of the way of truth peace And where thou saies thou hast given them his principles thou might have said thou hast laid them downe thy own errours to wit the lies slanders which I have left charged upon thee in severall particulers And where thou seemes to be offended because I said that thou came on purpose to the meeting at Harleston to cavill that thou did as thy fruits and lies made thee manifest and many may witnesse the same Secondly thou saies I say thou told of a visible Church in the world that is not denied but witnessed unto as it stands in my book Thirdly thou saies I say in my book that thou said the letter c the Spirit was inseparable And that the officers overseers in that Church which Christ had purchased with his blood were made by the holy Ghost I do not deny but witnesse unto Act. 20.28 thy shuffles doth not prove what thou would compasse by thy reason to have a temporall or carnal Church temporal or carnall officers therein for that which is seen is temporal but that which is not seene is eternal they looked not carnally at things which were visible and seene as thou dost as they do witnesse 2 Cor. 4.17 18. who said For our light affliction which is but for a moment worketh for us a far more exceeding and eternall weight of glory while we look not at the things which are visible or seene but at the things which are invisible and not seene and 2 Cor. 4.17 and 18 for we walke by faith and not by outward and visible sight in the things of the Spirit of God c 1 Cor. 5.7 which are spiritually enjoyed and the holy Ghost who is invisible dwelleth within Joh. 14.17 and is invisible where the world seeth him not to guide into all truth such as obey and follow the same and though Paul and the rest as to the outward were visible men yet their knowledge were not after the flesh as thine is neither did they looke carnally at the things of God as thou dost who argues so carnally for they knew no man after the flesh 2 Cor. 5.16.17 and as their knowledge stood in the Spirit and spirituall things about the worship of God Joh. 4.23 Phi. 3.3 in the Spirit so their offices were in the Spirit overseers made by the holy Ghost and they preached by the Spirit Act. 2.4 and 2 Cor. 3.6 and prayed with the Spirit 1 Cor. 14.15 and went forth to preach by the Spirit in the power of the holy Ghost Acts 1.8 Act. 2.4 Act. 6.10 Acts 7.54.55 Acts 6.3 and Act. 13.4 Gal. 1.11.12 and 15 16 and the Spirit had the rule and government in the Church and the spirituall man but not the natural because the things of the Spirit of God are were spiritually discerned reveiled 1 Cor. 2.10 and where thou

within them so was his word nigh them for the word of faith and so of grace was within in their hearts Rom. 10.8 and 1 Joh. 2.14 And Paul commited them to God and the word of his grace which was able to build them up and give them an inheritance amongst them that were sanctified even by the Spirit of their God 1 Cor. 6.11 and that was also within them Gal. 4.6 1 Joh. 3.24 and therefore Paul did commit them to the power of God and his light and word also within them for saith he the word is nigh thee in thy heart even the same word of faith and so of grace which we preach and God hath said that he will dwell in you and walke in you saith Paul to the Corinthians as in the Scriptures above mentioned And saith Iohn in his Epistle to the freinds of God let that saith he abide in you which ye have heard from the beginning if that which ye have heard from the beginning shall remaine in you ye also shall continue in the Son and in the Father 1 Joh. 2.24 and the light was in them which thou so much despiseth so was the holy unction which thou shews thy selfe to be ignorant of 1 Joh. 2.27 that art such an enemy to the light as by thy book doth appeare who art so blind in the things of the Spirit of God as the Serpents seed ever were that maketh lies thy refuge as they do did To thy 6th thou saies thou observes that they that pretend to walke by the light within them were in the greatest darknesse to the which I answer that they that did but pretend so to do and did not they were in darkness as thou art but such saith Christ as follow me and so the light in them Colos 1.27 they shall not walke in darknesse but have the light of life Joh. 8.12 and such as did and now do obey and so follow the true light that lighteth every man that cometh into the world Joh. 1.9 they are led into the light of life and so are called out of darknesse into the marvellous light 1 Pet. 2.7.8.9 And in thy 7th thou saies God hath sent forth his light and truth to guide men to his holy hill and then saith in the latter end of it the light is not able to lead unto hapinesse see thy confusion that light which leads to the holy hill leads unto happiness which light is Christ and thou saies after to confute thy selfe that Ghrist the true light Joh. 1.9 who is in man Colos 1.27 is not able to lead into happinesse But therein thy darkness is seene who would put the letter for the light and take the authoritie from Christ and his Spirit saying the light in man is not able to lead to happinesse but the Scriptures which thou calls the word is able to save your souls thou saies if you receive it with meeknesse citing Jam. 1.21 and if thou knew the word that James there speaks of thou would know it within to be an ingrafted word not in Paper and Inke but deviding assunder betwixt Spirit and soul Heb. 4.12 but thou that saies the light in man it he obey and follow it is not able to lead to happinesse thou art a contrary witnesse and messenger to the former witnesses and messengers of God if Christ and his Spirit be light and not darknesse and be in man then according to thy saying though Christ and his Spirit which is light and not darknesse be in man yet they are not able to lead out of darknesse and into the light of life and true happinesse but Christ saith such as follow him the true light shall not walk in darknesse but have the light of life and so true happiness for he is the author of eternall salvation to all that obey him Heb. 5.8.9 but so is not the letter though it declare of it therefore take notice of thy deceipt and be ashamed of it And to thy 8th the Commandements of God that are pure enlightening the eyes of the understanding are pure and spirituall and was in them before they proceeded forth and the same Spirit doth now enlighten our understanding and the enterance of the word of life that devides betwixt soul and Spirit give light and understanding which word is not the letter though the letter declare of it yet witnessed unto by it which word giveth us an understanding dwelling within us as it did them that witnessed the same Heb. 4.12 Rom. 10.8 1 Joh. 2.14 and 1 Ioh. 4.4 1 Ioh. 5.20 And therefore we being enlightened with it having an understanding given thereby we do not speake against the law and testimony 1 Ioh. 3.4 Rom. 8.2.3.4 Rev. 19.10 but according to them because there is light within us Isa 8.20 2 Cor. 4.6,7 as in thy 8th consederation Consideration the 9th that the true Prophets did not follow the imaginations of their own hearts yet the light and Spirit of God with them they did follow as those people doth that thou in thy 9th seeks to cast thy slander upon but it turnes off from them and stands for thy selfe who forsakes the light within to follow the imaginations of thy heart which makes thee to accuse falsly and slander and so speaks not acco●ding to the law and testimony therein because darknesse hath blinded thy minde And where thou saies in thy 10th that the false Prophets was eminent in that worke and saith it is an evident marke of the false Prophets so to do to lie and speake fasly as you do but not to follow the light as thou would have it except thou would make false Prophets of the true for they was eminent in following the light and Spirit of God within and said To the law and testimony if any man speake not according to them it is because there is no light in him Then they that spake and now speake according to the law and testimony there is light in them so was there in the true Prophets and they was eminent in following the light within them but so did not the false Prophets thou art to prove that for such as did not follow the light and Gunsaile of God they were false Prophets and false teachers as thou art and all liers slanderers and false-accusers And to thy 11th That all those teachers now that come after God hath sent the light of the Gospel and his Spirit to guide into all truth such as obey and follow the same Luke 2.32 Ioh. 8.12 Ioh. 16.13 Rom. 8.14 Gal. 4.6 and all people from the light and the teachings of the Spirit to follow carnall inventions and despise and undervalue the true light and spirituall teachings and stick in Paper and Inke and are Ministers of their brain-imaginations from the letter and are not of the new Covenant and light and Spirit 2 Cor. 3.6 2 Cor. 4.4.5.6.7 they are false Apostles and false teachers that are such liers slanderers and false-accusers as Thomas Pollard

obeyed leadeth out of darknesse errour and deceipt into the light of life Ioh. 8.12 Ioh. 16.13 and so into the truth of the Gospel spoken of in thy last Querie and that slander of the undervaluing of the words of Christ shall stand for thy selfe c that speaks against and undervalued the inward spirituall and true light which leadeth into true happiness happinesse such as follow and obey it and so it leadeth out of darknesse errour and deceipt into the light of life though thou lier say it do not therein thy testimony is false and not true and thou art found to be a false witnesse of the light and the truth and thy testimony is denied and against testified as is required Eph. 5.11 And thou that would have the words as they are printed in the Bible there to be Spirit and life as in thy last Querie But thou shews by that that thou art ignorant of the eternall word and so of the word of life and knows not the true spirituall life that would put the letter for the life And where thou saies how can ye know that the dead shall rise and come to Judgment but by the Scriptures page 54. I answer even as they knew the things declared of in the Scriptures by that Spirit of God that revealeth the deepe things of God 1 Cor. 2.10 and also sheweth things to come as the Scripture witnesseth Joh. 16.13 That the dead shall rise and come to Judgment is one of the deepe things of God And also a thing to come But the Spirit of God revealeth and searcheth or maketh knowne the deepe things of God without the letter as the letter witnesseth which Spirit also sheweth things to come as the Scripture declareth Therefore the Spirit of God so revealing and making knowne even the deepe things of God could make knowne the day of judgment and things to come as the Scripture witnesseth but the blind like thee sees it not who stumbles at the light and knows not the eternall word not yet the worke of the Spirit of God as thy booke of slander maketh manifest Where did any true Prophet or Apostle of the Lord Jesus goe either to prophecy or preach with a printed Bible in their hand and from that say Thus saith the Lord c. And if printing had not of late beene invented what would you have preached here in England who knows not within you the eternall life and word of God Therefore they being out of the truth and false accusers they must needs be also cut of Gospel-order And in that thou hast told another lie and Thomas Pollard when thou had accused Richard Farnsworth falsly at the meeting at Harliston Hugh Read said unto thee why would thou stand charging things upon him which thou could not prove and Humphyry Beeland who had beene a teacher to the Baptised people he said to thee Thomas Pollard Instance any one particuler and prove against him which thou taxeth him withall c but thou then made no answer as to prove any one thing which thou had falsly charged upon him and accused him withall and therefore art a false accuser of him and the truth and thy lies heads of deceit and false accusations are witnessed against by some that were present at the meeting at Harliston that time by name Hugh Reed Anthony Briklay Humphey Beeland and John Smith If there want any of thy number of lies it is but for want of setting them downe for I have as many numbered up in writing out of Iohn Griffiths and thine as amounts to the number of one hundred fifty and four lies c. Which fruits may cause you to blush if you consider thereof and serve to be a shame to your profession that are attended with such a company of lies cover your faces with shame and learne to amend bring forth better fruits even such as are meete for amendment of life and make not lies your refuge as you have done for it maketh you manifest that you are not yet come into Johns doctrine and so instead of fulfilling all righteousnesse you are adding one lie to another and sin unto sin being fulfilling deceipt or filled with all unrighteousnesse c Rom. 1.28.29 THE END

2.10.11 1. Pet. 4.1.2 and they that have suffered in the flesh and seased from sin though they may be tempted yet if they be not subject to enter into temptations they are upheld by the power of God and united to Christ who though he was tempted in all things like unto us yet he were not subject to the tempter neither did he enter into the temptation And it is no sin to be tempted but to obey the tempter and enter into temptation that is a sin and though Christ was tempted yet he did not obey the tempter and therefore did not sin and such as are united to Christ and abideth in him they do not sin as saith the Scriptures 1 Joh. 3.6 then they enter not into temptation that are so united and abide with Christ in that true union but as he is so are they in this present world as the Scripture witnesseth 1 Joh. 4.16.17 Rev. 14.3.4.5 and an t thou offended at that if thou be it is but to shew thy dislike to the work of Christ which is to take away sin and thy contradiction to the Scripture which also witnesseth the same And thy 24 lie Is one of thy grounds or second heads by which thou labours to uphold thy deceit in page the 8 which thou calls the second thing that Farnsworth as thou saies affirmed that is as thou saies when Paul spoke those words in the seaventh of the Romans where he cries out of a body of death and of the warfare he had in himselfe and to streng then thy lies thou saies Farnsworth said he was not then converted lier art thou not ashamed of such an abominable lie let the wise hearted search the booke written by me and see if they can in it finde such an affirmative and thou pretends to write thine in answer unto it and in page the 22 thou saies these are his principles he saith he ownes in his book oh that a man professing godlinesse should no more regard what he saies bur it is good that fooles utter their sollie as thou hast done thine thereby to manifest that deceit which long hath lain hid within thee but the book shall stand a witnesse against thee And that lie thou hast laid as a ground to build upon but the ground being false the building cannot stand therefore thou art left with thy refuge of lies and the burden thou must beare who art so acting Antichrists Spirit and being accustomed to do evill how canst thou do well be ashamed for ever of thy bundle or number of lies which are so prooflesse and now are back upon thee returned and in the liers generation are left to remaine And thy 25 lie is in thy 8th page which thou saies is thy answer to that as aforesaid where thou saies thou answered and said O man minde thy errour what Paul a messenger of the Gospel and so eminent Apostle of Christ and unconverted here I charge thee with this lie also for I neither said that Paul at that time were unconverted nor thou made noe such answer then unto mee and co say thou so answered when thou did not as many may wirnesse that is grosse deceit and double hypocrisie therefore Pollard thou therein hast made thy selfe manifest by thy lying Spirit to be a wicked lier a grosse deceaver and a double hypocrit oh man see thy errour lies and deceit and blush and also be ashamed for ever thou pretended to write thy booke in answer to mine but cannot prove such sayings therein nor Hagger to helpe thee yet you have bended your tongues like your bowes for lies and made them your refuge but truth sweeps them away or casts them out turning them upon you you liers againe and into the liers generation from whence they came and all that which thou hast scraped together and Haggar to help thee for the backing of your deceit and to mannage your lies I passe over and come to that which thou calls thy third thing Farnsworth affirmed as thou saies which is thy 26 lie saying that where Iohn spake those words if we say we have no sin we deceive our selves c. saying he said Iohn did not here speak of himself but the people to whom he spake those words were unconverted That is but like unto the rest of thy lies but thou canst not prove such a saying in my Book and thou says those was my principles which I stood by and owned in my book and saying so but cannot prove thy saying therein I pass by the rest of thy stuff which thou hast scraped together to back or strengthen thy lie withal and leave thee charged with that Lie also which makes up the number 26. And where thou says thou pleads not for a continuance in sin thy lying also therein is seen who art so accustomed to it and it is hard for thee to leave it And where thou art speaking about trying the Spirits page 11. Liars hath nothing to do to try them but thou art a Lyar and hath a number of lies charged upon thee and therefore thine is tryed known thereby to be a lying so an erring spirit But thou says you may honestly argue that If they and they onely be the friends of God that walk in obedience to the Commandments of God then they must needs be enemies that oppose but the first is true thou says Then it follows from thy own argument about the tryal of Spirits that thou that opposeth the truth art the enemy and the only enemy and no friend for he commands That every one that names the Name of Christ should depart from iniquity and that they should not lie c. 2 Tim. 2.19 Eph. 4.22,23,24,25 but thou art strong in iniquity and so pleading for it that such as obeys the commands of God in departing from it and thereby comes to be freed from it and be without it thou would have such to be enemies that are Gods friends saying They have no truth in them if they be departed from iniquity so as to have no sin in them and thus thou crosseth the Scriptures and obeyeth not the light but acts in darkness and opposeth the truth and art not subject to the commands of God who art such a Lyar c. who departs not from iniquity but lives in opposition to the truth and continues in lying as is here manifest therefore thy spirit is tryed and thou art found to be the enemy of God and also according to thy own saying and self confusion therefore stop thy mouth and be silent about speaking of the things of the Spirit of God by a lying spirit of error and deceit for darkness speaks in thee and the Serpents head who is yet unbruised in thee And where thou art speaking to those thou calls dear friends saying Beware least you be led away with the error of the wicked Thou art led away with the error of the wicked thy self who art so given over to lying as thou hast
