A84760	A sober answer to an angry epistle, directed to all the publick teachers in this nation, and prefixed to a book, called (by an antiphrasis) Christs innocency pleaded against the cry of the chief priests. Written in hast by Thomas Speed, once a publick teacher himself, and since revolted from that calling to merchandize, and of late grown a merchant of soules, trading subtilly for the Quakers in Bristoll. Wherein the jesuiticall equivocations and subtle insinuations, whereby he endeavours secretly to infuse the whole venome of Quaking doctrines, into undiscerning readers, are discovered; a catlogue of the true and genuine doctrines of the Quakers is presented, and certaine questions depending between us and them, candidly disputed, / by [brace] Christopher Fowler & Simon Ford, [brace] ministers of the Gospel in Reding,	Fowler, Christopher, 1610?-1678.; Ford, Simon, 1619?-1699.	1656 (1656)	Wing F1694; Thomason E883_1; ESTC R207293	63,879	81

dispute_v &_o rail_v out_o of_o the_o world_n and_o the_o most_o glorious_a practical_a truth_n of_o the_o gospel_n out_o of_o man_n conscience_n as_o appear_v daily_o in_o those_o who_o learning_n

heart_n of_o man_n which_o the_o scripture_n call_v the_o revelation_n and_o demonstration_n of_o the_o spirit_n but_o yet_o we_o must_v own_o learning_n sanctify_v by_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n as_o a_o precious_a help_n and_o furtherance_n to_o the_o understanding_n of_o the_o letter_n of_o the_o scripture_n confute_v heretical_a wrest_n of_o they_o and_o convince_a gainsayers_a and_o we_o

scripture_n which_o speak_v of_o revelation_n indeed_o but_o not_o such_o as_o be_v exclusive_a to_o humane_a learning_n which_o be_v your_o drift_n indeed_o in_o the_o first_o paul_n say_v that_o god_n reveal_v those_o thing_n which_o eye_n have_v not_o see_v etc._n etc._n to_o he_o by_o his_o holy_a spirit_n and_o in_o the_o other_o 16._o 1_o cor._n 2_o 10._o gal._n 1._o 16._o he_o say_v that_o god_n reveal_v his_o son_n in_o he_o but_o it_o be_v not_o prove_v that_o in_o the_o last_o of_o those_o place_n the_o apostle_n speak_v of_o the_o doctrine_n much_o less_o the_o holy_a doctrine_n of_o the_o gospel_n that_o paul_n preach_v as_o if_o his_o humane_a learning_n contribute_v nothing_o to_o that_o but_o only_o of_o those_o inward_a operation_n that_o paul_n experience_v and_o therefore_o he_o show_v the_o effect_n of_o the_o revelation_n that_o it_o take_v he_o off_o from_o consult_v with_o flesh_n and_o blood_n which_o we_o before_o acknowledge_v as_o well_o as_o you_o in_o the_o former_a of_o they_o the_o apostle_n speak_v of_o such_o a_o revelation_n of_o the_o gospel_n as_o save_o enable_v he_o to_o receive_v it_o feel_o to_o preach_v it_o as_o appeareth_z by_o v._o 14._o where_o he_o oppose_v the_o knowledge_n of_o a_o natural_a man_n which_o be_v by_o mere_a learning_n to_o that_o of_o a_o spiritual_a man_n which_o be_v by_o revelation_n yet_o not_o exclude_v learning_n for_o by_o the_o way_n you_o may_v observe_v that_o he_o do_v not_o oppose_v a_o spiritual_a man_n and_o a_o learned_a man_n paul_n himself_o be_v spiritual_a and_o learned_a too_o but_o a_o spiritual_a man_n and_o a_o natural_a or_o unregenerate_a man_n who_o have_v nothing_o but_o natural_a faculty_n and_o humane_a learning_n to_o improve_v they_o and_o as_o to_o your_o assertion_n itself_o that_o they_o preach_v only_a sect._n 41_o that_o gospel_n which_o christ_n by_o his_o spirit_n roveal_v in_o they_o if_o you_o mean_v thus_o that_o they_o preach_v nothing_o but_o what_o be_v immediate_o reveal_v from_o the_o spirit_n without_o any_o external_a help_n the_o plain_a scripture_n will_v give_v you_o the_o lie_n for_o how_o often_o do_v christ_n instruct_v they_o during_o his_o bodily_a presence_n among_o they_o and_o how_o do_v he_o expound_v the_o scripture_n to_o they_o go_v through_o all_o the_o book_n then_o pen_v even_o from_o moses_n to_o malachi_n immediate_o before_o his_o ascension_n luke_n 24._o 27._o so_o that_o whatever_o may_v be_v say_v of_o paul_n who_o be_v call_v and_o enable_v to_o his_o apostleship_n in_o a_o singular_a way_n untrodden_a by_o any_o of_o the_o rest_n we_o be_v sure_a all_o the_o rest_n be_v teach_v otherwise_o then_o by_o the_o immediate_a revelation_n of_o the_o spirit_n only_o but_o we_o doubt_v yet_o another_o snake_n in_o the_o grass_n of_o this_o fair_a sect._n 42_o expression_n which_v christ_n by_o his_o spirit_n reveal_v in_o they_o and_o suspect_v it_o bear_v some_o analogy_n with_o that_o in_o your_o former_a article_n of_o preach_v no_o more_o than_o we_o witness_v the_o life_n and_o power_n of_o in_o ourselves_o and_o which_o you_o call_v afterward_o witness_v the_o condition_n of_o the_o saint_n who_o word_n we_o preach_v of_o which_o anon_o the_o best_a sense_n therefore_o which_o compare_v your_o word_n with_o each_o other_o and_o all_o with_o the_o language_n of_o your_o other_o brethren_n we_o can_v pick_v out_o of_o your_o expression_n here_o be_v that_o you_o suppose_v they_o preach_v no_o more_o than_o what_o by_o spiritual_a experience_n the_o spirit_n reveal_v in_o their_o heart_n which_o if_o it_o be_v that_o you_o herein_o intend_v we_o desire_v you_o to_o consider_v whether_o the_o apostle_n do_v experience_n in_o themselves_o the_o history_n of_o the_o old_a testament_n which_o yet_o they_o preach_v and_o whether_o they_o do_v experience_n in_o themselves_o the_o resurrection_n of_o the_o body_n the_o general_a judgement_n and_o eternal_a damnation_n which_o they_o preach_v whether_o john_n experience_v the_o prophecy_n of_o the_o revelation_n in_o himself_o or_o no_o as_o some_o of_o 13._o foot_n out_o of_o the_o snare_n p._n 6._o 13._o you_o cant_v that_o the_o witness_n be_v slay_v in_o we_o and_o must_v be_v raise_v to_o life_n in_o we_o and_o babylon_n in_o we_o etc._n etc._n and_o of_o this_o stamp_n we_o doubt_v be_v that_o uncouth_a and_o odd_a expression_n of_o witness_v the_o saint_n condition_n which_o be_v one_o of_o the_o sect._n 43_o phrase_n we_o tell_v you_o before_o that_o we_o conceive_v needs_o interpretation_n though_o possible_o you_o speak_v what_o you_o mean_v yet_o we_o know_v not_o what_o you_o mean_v by_o what_o you_o speak_v especial_o if_o we_o compare_v those_o paper_n which_o we_o often_o receive_v from_o your_o disciple_n in_o these_o part_n with_o what_o you_o here_o say_v but_o we_o will_v take_v you_o in_o the_o best_a sense_n and_o so_o to_o witness_v we_o suppose_v in_o your_o sense_n be_v to_o feel_v by_o inward_a experience_n the_o saint_n condition_n who_o word_n we_o preach_v and_o without_o this_o qualification_n in_o your_o judgement_n we_o must_v pass_v for_o minister_n of_o the_o letter_n only_o we_o doubt_v you_o understand_v not_o what_o a_o minister_n of_o the_o letter_n mean_v we_o be_v sure_a by_o a_o minister_n of_o the_o letter_n the_o
