which in thy first demonstration thou would charge the Quakers withal who says they are so clearly mistaken that they call evil good and good evil In this thou art charged to be a lyar and false accuser and thy saying is a clear mistake and altogether false therefore as thou art so is it and both evil and so of the Devil not knowing what thou says nor whereof thou affirms saying they and it is thy self and such as thou art And where thou judgeth the Quakers by thee so called with such false judgment and so falsly accuseth them thou may'st be ashamed and blush speaking so vainly and foolishly out of the envy and pride of thy heart which thou would cover with feigned pretences but they will not shelter thee It is thou that art so clearly mistaken in judgment and not they as thou falsly saith that regards not what thou sayest In saying those that thou calls Quakers do judg the wayes practices and actions of all people to be abominable Antichristian and unjust except their own and above all people do they cry out against and disown such who by the world are reproved and disowned as the Church and Disciples of Christ I answer the Church and Disciples of Christ we do not disown nor cry out against therefore in that thou hast again vented thy lie but thee and all false hearted hypocrits and such as pretend to be of the Church and disciples of Christ and are not such we disown cry out against and deny And all that walk in the way to the Father which is but one Ioh. 14.9 such we do not deny cry out against nor disown but al that walk in that way we own even all that are in Christ and walk in him in the lowest degre we do not call that way nor such actions abominable but the way of holiness which the Prophet Isaiah speaks of in Isa 53.8.9.10 and the unclean shall not pass over it but all contrary ways and act ons to puritie and holiness we disown cry out against and deny and all such as say they are Jews and are not but of the Synagogue of Satan such we cry out against deny and disown but the true and right way we own and especially all such as are in that way and all those that are reproached and disowned by the world who are of the Church and disciples of Christ therefore thy lie Edmund Skip is abominable and false and as it is so art thou an abom nable lyer and false hearted hypocrit and one that speak lyes in hypocrisie that hath so regardlesly said Secondly All actions and practises which are in righteousness is by us owned and not denyed knowing this that he that doth righteousness is of God and that is owned but he that doth not righteousness is not of God and that is by us disowned cryed out against and denyed he that doth righteousness is of God and he that doth not righteousness is not of God 1 Ioh. 3.7 and 10. Thirdly In this the children even of God are manifest and the Children of the Devil take notice of this all ye unrighteous ones and thou also who art the lyer and of thy Father the Devil and all such Ioh. 8.44 therefore see what is prepared for such Rev. 21.8 and lying slandering and false accusing is from the evil so of the Devil and that is Antichrist an but Edmund Skip in thy blazing Star thou hast vented thy lies slanders and false accusations to blaze abroad so proving thy selfe to be such a one therefore thy actions are Antichristian actions and thou art an Antichrist and of thy Father as aforesaid and such there are many 1 Iohn 2.18 Then thou and all such are to be cryed against disowned and utterly denyed and though thou may'st be offended because I tell thee the truth but the Spirit of truth doth judg the deceit of thy base heart our own is accepted and the unjust rejected and the way of truth true Church and Disciples of Christ we own and all false ways self-pretended Churches and unrighteous actions we deny against them cry and altogether disown 1. To that which thou calls thy first charge pag. 7. If thou was charged for hypocrisie though thou seek to justifie thy self thy self-justification will not stand good but is null and void therefore of no effect for I have already proved thee to be a lyar slanderer and false accuser of the truth and of the innocent one also that regards not what thou falsly against the truth saith and hast said so a lyar in hypocrisie as before is proved therefore upon thee who art in the hypocrisie and deceit the charge shall stand and as Conscience-Book is opened the light which changeth not though thou alter and change yet the light will then answer upon thee Gods judgments to be just and the woes that are due unto hypocrites to be due unto thee as well as to them spoken of in Ma. 23 who art in the nature turned from the light of which hypocisie doth arise as well as false accusations slanders and lyes Secondly Something now to that which thou calls thy second charge when thou says Thou art charg'd for acting against thy Conscience c. I Answer though thy Conscience may be seared as such that make shipwrack of faith and a good Conscience and now a fleshly confidence be got up in thee and thereby a lying false accusing spirit doth possess thee as the issue of thy heart hath made it manifest and the light in thy Conscience thou art an enemy unto and acts contrary to that which should exercise thy Conscience towards God that is evidently demonstrated to any single eye and in secret the light in thy Conscience which thou art an enemy to it will here for the truth witness the same and also against thy deceit Though thou seek to resist the Cryer it will cry and in thy Conscience against thee testifie and be as a dart at thy heart when Conscience-Book doth open and the light which changeth not will stand firm and be thy condemnat on from God that hates it and walks contrary to it It saith thou should not lye but thou doth lye and art here proved a lyar then thou acts contrary to that within thy Conscience therefore contrary to thy Conscience And the light in thy Conscience saith thou should not falsly accuse any nor judg with unrighteous judgment c. but thou doth accuse falsly and hath accused falsly those thou calls Quakers falsly and also judged and doth judg with false judgment c. which will not abide the tryal nor stand before the judgment seat of Christ but both thou and it are for judgment and in thy condemnation remembered thou will also be of what against the truth thou hast acted and done and acting against the truth and light the light in thy Conscience thou actest contrary to thy Conscience and though thou say thou do not thou art proved a lyar before
