A62427	The Quakers quibbles in three parts : first set forth in an expostulatory epistle to Will. Pfnn [i.e. Penn] concerning the late meeting held to Barbycan between the Baptists and the Quakers, also the pretended prophet Lod. Muggleton and the Quakers compared : the second part, in reply to a quibbling answer to G. Whiteheads, entituled The Quakers plainness ... : the third part, being a continuation of their quibbles ... / by the same indifferent pen.	Thompson, Thomas.; Hedworth, Henry.; Penn, William, 1644-1718.	1675 (1675)	Wing T1013; ESTC R41153	141,349	262

argument_n i_o hear_v that_o day_n from_o he_o and_o my_o confess_v that_o st._n paul_n say_v though_o i_o speak_v with_o the_o tongue_n of_o man_n and_o angel_n and_o have_v not_o charity_n i_o be_o

still_o say_v that_o the_o gift_n of_o tongue_n immediate_o inspire_v into_o those_o of_o the_o true_a church_n upon_o their_o become_a christian_n which_o be_v the_o gift_n i_o speak_v of_o p._n 7._o in_o express_a word_n without_o acquire_v it_o by_o study_n be_v a_o certain_a proof_n of_o christianity_n yea_o and_o i_o do_v now_o say_v so_o discriminate_v that_o i_o do_v not_o know_v that_o ever_o we_o find_v in_o the_o whole_a scripture_n any_o other_o but_o only_a christian_n that_o be_v endue_v with_o that_o gift_n by_o immediate_a power_n and_o inspiration_n of_o the_o holy_a spirit_n and_o according_o the_o apostle_n peter_n take_v it_o for_o a_o sufficient_a and_o undeniable_a sign_n of_o their_o belief_n and_o christianity_n who_o have_v receive_v this_o gift_n upon_o his_o preach_a christ_n jesus_n to_o they_o and_o thereupon_o command_v they_o to_o be_v baptise_a act_v 10.44_o etc._n etc._n they_o which_o believe_v be_v astonish_v as_o many_o as_o come_v with_o peter_n because_o that_o on_o the_o gentile_n also_o be_v pour_v out_o the_o gift_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n for_o they_o hear_v they_o speak_z with_o tongue_n then_o answer_v peter_n can_n any_o man_n forbid_v water_n that_o these_o shall_v not_o be_v baptise_a which_o have_v receive_v the_o holy_a ghost_n as_o well_o as_o we_o and_o he_o command_v they_o to_o be_v baptise_a in_o the_o name_n of_o the_o lord_n and_o do_v thou_o g._n deny_v it_o against_o this_o plain_a testimony_n of_o scripture_n or_o make_v the_o apostle_n paul_n to_o contradict_v the_o apostle_n peter_n here_o if_o thy_o conscience_n can_v serve_v thou_o therefore_o g._n thou_o be_v so_o far_o from_o prove_v this_o a_o contradiction_n that_o thou_o have_v commit_v a_o great_a mistake_n in_o say_v that_o the_o gift_n of_o tongue_n be_v not_o a_o certain_a proof_n of_o christianity_n wherefore_o consider_v what_o thou_o have_v its_o possible_a only_o rash_o and_o hasty_o assert_v and_o be_v not_o ashamed_a to_o confess_v thy_o error_n but_o on_o the_o other_o hand_n though_o i_o own_v such_o a_o gift_n as_o before_o mention_v p._n 7._o of_o my_o epistle_n will_v be_v a_o good_a proof_n to_o i_o of_o w._n p_n christianity_n yet_o i_o do_v not_o nor_o never_o do_v own_o that_o man_n speak_v never_o so_o many_o nor_o so_o excellent_a tongue_n by_o acquisition_n and_o study_n much_o less_o that_o any_o of_o w._n p_n plausible_a oration_n or_o fine_a harangue_n be_v a_o certain_a proof_n of_o christianity_n no_o nor_o any_o proof_n at_o all_o and_o those_o be_v the_o fine_a word_n without_o charity_n i_o speak_v of_o p._n 9_o and_o where_o be_v then_o the_o contradiction_n sure_o in_o g._n his_o own_o fancy_n this_o be_v natural_a mediate_a and_o acquire_v by_o study_n but_o the_o other_o spiritual_a and_o a_o gift_n immediate_a from_o god_n at_o a_o instant_a and_o although_o it_o be_v not_o to_o be_v doubt_v but_o that_o the_o apostle_n paul_n have_v learned_a to_o speak_v l●ke_v a_o orator_n and_o more_o tongue_n than_o one_o by_o study_n before_o his_o become_v a_o christian_n he_o be_v bring_v up_o a_o scholar_n yet_o suppose_v it_o be_v grant_v that_o he_o speak_v 1_o cor._n 13.1_o of_o the_o gift_n of_o tongue_n he_o have_v immediate_o he_o do_v not_o say_v any_o such_o thing_n as_o that_o it_o be_v no_o certain_a proof_n of_o christianity_n to_o other_o nay_o so_o far_o from_o it_o that_o in_o chap._n 14._o v._n 22._o he_o assert_n tongue_n be_v for_o a_o sign_n to_o they_o that_o believe_v not_o that_o be_v chief_o to_o they_o and_o in_o the_o quaker_n sense_n such_o be_v we_o who_o do_v not_o believe_v they_o but_o that_o charity_n which_o he_o speak_v of_o be_v a_o proof_n of_o he_o or_o a_o man_n sincerity_n before_o god_n that_o he_o do_v make_v use_n and_o employ_v those_o gift_n real_o in_o love_n to_o god_n and_o his_o church_n for_o the_o plant_v and_o edify_v of_o it_o and_o not_o to_o any_o by_o and_o base_a end_n which_o if_o he_o shall_v it_o will_v profit_v he_o nothing_o v_o 3._o it_o will_v signify_v nothing_o to_o his_o own_o salvation_n though_o possible_o it_o may_v to_o other_o much_o like_a to_o this_o you_o have_v it_o express_v again_o by_o the_o apostle_n in_o chap._n 9_o v._n 27._o but_o i_o keep_v under_o my_o body_n and_o bring_v it_o into_o subjection_n lest_o that_o by_o any_o mean_n when_o i_o have_v preach_v to_o other_o i_o myself_o shall_v be_v a_o castanna_n away_o so_o that_o tongue_n immediate_o inspire_v by_o the_o holy_a spirit_n be_v a_o sign_n and_o proof_n to_o other_o of_o christianity_n wherever_o that_o gift_n be_v or_o be_v find_v and_o charity_n be_v a_o sign_n and_o proof_n of_o a_o man_n sincerity_n before_o god_n and_o of_o his_o sincere_a love_n to_o god_n and_o his_o brethren_n in_o his_o exercise_n of_o that_o gift_n of_o tongue_n and_o other_o miraculous_a gift_n which_o god_n have_v give_v he_o for_o the_o plant_n and_o edify_v of_o his_o church_n but_o what_o be_v all_o this_o to_o w.p._n who_o alas_o be_v so_o far_o from_o have_v that_o charity_n and_o sincerity_n in_o the_o use_n and_o exercise_n of_o those_o spiritual_a gift_n of_o tongue_n and_o
