A30035	The pilgrim's progress, from Quakerism to Christianity containing, a farther discovery of the dangerous growth of Quakerism, not only in points of doctrine, but also in their politicks, respecting their government, and opposite to it, together with their fund or common bank to support the same : with a remedy proposed for this malady, and the cure of Quakerism : to which is added an appendix, discovering a most damnable plot, contriv'd and carrying on by New-Rome, by an united confederacy, against the reformed religion and professors thereof, as will appear from the designs of their silent meetings, their monthly, quarterly, second-day, six-week, and yearly meeting, all which are particularly herein treated on / by ...

of_o ignorance_n i_o shall_v now_o proceed_v far_a to_o prove_v my_o reason_n and_o that_o from_o plain_a matter_n of_o fact_n that_o so_o it_o may_v appear_v as_o well_o from_o our_o print_a book_n

aught_o often_o to_o be_v the_o exercise_n of_o christian_n but_o then_o they_o have_v a_o object_n to_o meditate_v upon_o either_o the_o work_n of_o creation_n and_o providence_n which_o afford_v

bear_v the_o like_a face_n viz._n though_o all_o visible_a worship_n be_v now_o become_v of_o no_o value_n in_o the_o eye_n of_o the_o lord_n yet_o it_o may_v be_v true_o say_v that_o christ_n be_v with_o his_o apostle_n always_o to_o the_o end_n of_o the_o world_n in_o all_o those_o that_o worship_n he_o in_o spirit_n and_o truth_n i_o mean_v those_o sober_a silent_a saint_n who_o language_n

fox_n be_v for_o a_o infallible_a light_n so_o be_v muggleton_n fox_n be_v for_o silent_a saint_n so_o be_v muggleton_n only_a muggleton_n keep_v close_o to_o his_o principle_n for_o as_o he_o deny_v all_o ordinance_n so_o he_o do_v not_o preach_v pray_v nor_o baptise_v nor_o administer_v the_o sacrament_n but_o the_o quaker_n as_o in_o the_o instance_n of_o solomon_n eccles_n above-quoted_n

never_o read_v of_o any_o but_o lodowick_n muggleton_n that_o justify_v the_o quaker_n silent_a meeting_n i_o will_v produce_v one_o passage_n more_o i._n e._n that_o the_o worship_n require_v by_o he_o from_o his_o saint_n be_v a_o inward_a stillness_n by_o which_o their_o soul_n be_v make_v willing_a to_o hearken_v to_o the_o voice_n or_o motion_n of_o bis_fw-la most_o holy_a spirit_n speak_v in_o they_o thus_o from_o a_o unerring_a light_n i_o have_v remonstrate_v to_o the_o elect_n what_o be_v the_o very_a true_a god_n and_o his_o spiritual_a worship_n accept_v of_o he_o it_o be_v not_o outward_a pray_v preach_a fast_v or_o thanksgiving_n to_o be_v see_v of_o man_n but_o it_o be_v a_o inward_a spiritual_a silent_n pray_v and_o praise_v fast_v and_o feast_v upon_o the_o glorious_a

two_o than_o solomon_n eccles_n but_o that_o it_o may_v appear_v that_o as_o the_o quaker_n have_v testify_v against_o the_o christian_n for_o own_v the_o authority_n of_o the_o bible_n so_o let_v they_o see_v they_o have_v a_o partner_n namely_o muggleton_n who_o say_v p._n 49._o ibid._n again_o in_o the_o next_o place_n i_o shall_v demonstrate_v the_o vanity_n of_o the_o ministry_n of_o the_o baptist_n i_o need_v not_o tell_v you_o the_o foundation_n upon_o which_o they_o build_v their_o worship_n because_o it_o be_v found_v on_o the_o letter_n tee_fw-mi letter_n the_o quaker_n language_n to_o a_o tee_fw-mi of_o the_o scripture_n and_o their_o own_o lie_a reason_n which_o be_v the_o devil_n in_o they_o all_o true_a christian_n be_v now_o under_o the_o ministry_n of_o the_o holy_a spirit_n and_o therefore_o be_v no_o more_o bind_v in_o conscience_n to_o apostolic_a worship_n i_o say_v again_o that_o above_o this_o 1000_o year_n there_o have_v not_o be_v a_o man_n send_v to_o preach_v or_o prophesy_v p._n 50._o how_o then_o can_v thou_o possible_o become_v a_o minister_n of_o divine_a ordinance_n by_o authority_n from_o another_o man_n word_n or_o write_n unless_o without_o their_o letter_n thou_o be_v immediate_o move_v to_o speak_v by_o the_o holy_a spirit_n as_o they_o be_v moreover_o though_o the_o scripture_n in_o themselves_o be_v true_a yet_o there_o be_v nothing_o but_o death_n in_o they_o to_o a_o carnal_a spirit_n the_o letter_n kill_v but_o the_o spirit_n give_v life_n and_o can_v a_o dead_a and_o kill_a letter_n give_v the_o power_n to_o become_v a_o spiritual_a minister_n of_o christ_n ordinance_n to_o his_o elect_a people_n i_o trow_v not_o etc._n etc._n thus_o do_v lodowick_n profess_v the_o same_o infallibility_n of_o judgement_n the_o same_o way_n of_o silent_a meeting_n the_o same_o perfection_n and_o unerring_a light_n to_o guide_n move_v thereby_o immediate_o again_o they_o join_v like_a samson_n fox_n against_o the_o
