A77227 The Quakers quaking principles examined and refuted in a briefe answer to some erroneous tenets held forth by James Naylor in his answers unto Mr Baxter, and some others that have publikely opposed that blacke spirit in the deluded Quakers. Wherein is also included a serious admonition, how wee ought to behave our selves towards the ministers of the gospell, in respect of communicating unto them; and for giving to the poore, so as the Gospell requires: and to beware of covetousnesse, and the effects thereof, least wee be left of God, and delivered up unto strong delusions, and a blasphemous spirit instead of the spirit of God. The heads of the whole discourse are also premised. / Written by Ellis Bradshavve. Bradshaw, Ellis. 1656 (1656) Wing B4147; Thomason E869_1; ESTC R207737 57,239 71

we_o perfect_a and_o thorough_o furnish_v unto_o every_o good_a work_n through_o faith_n which_o be_v in_o christ_n jesus_n and_o though_o it_o be_v true_a that_o the_o natural_a man_n understand_v not_o the_o thing_n of_o god_n neither_o can_v he_o know_v they_o because_o they_o be_v spiritual_o discern_v to_o wit_n through_o a_o eye_n of_o faith_n for_o the_o word_n do_v not_o profit_n unless_o it_o be_v mix_v with_o faith_n in_o they_o that_o hear_v it_o yet_o the_o wisdom_n of_o god_n have_v appoint_v it_o to_o be_v teach_v to_o our_o child_n and_o to_o our_o child_n child_n as_o so_o it_o be_v to_o timothy_n of_o a_o child_n see_v for_o this_o deut._n 4.9_o &_o chap._n 6._o &_o 6_o 7_o verse_n and_o 2_o tim_n 3.15_o now_o these_o premise_n consider_v let_v any_o wise_a man_n

yea_o though_o consider_v as_o god_n he_o account_v it_o no_o robbery_n to_o be_v equal_a with_o god_n yet_o consider_v as_o man_n he_o be_v ignorant_a of_o the_o time_n and_o season_n which_o the_o

to_o show_v unto_o his_o servant_n thing_n which_o must_v short_o come_v to_o pass_v and_o he_o send_v and_o signify_v it_o by_o his_o angel_n unto_o his_o servant_n john_n so_o that_o john_n have_v it_o but_o at_o the_o three_o hand_n though_o he_o have_v christ_n the_o light_a resident_a in_o he_o as_o so_o have_v also_o the_o seven_o church_n of_o asia_n and_o the_o angel_n thereof_o yet_o they_o have_v but_o this_o revelation_n at_o the_o four_o and_o five_o hand_n from_o all_o which_o it_o be_v evident_a that_o though_o god_n can_v and_o do_v when_o he_o see_v it_o good_a and_o

the_o use_n of_o mean_n be_v as_o absurd_a and_o wicked_a as_o if_o they_o shall_v teach_v their_o child_n not_o to_o eat_v any_o meat_n because_o god_n be_v able_a to_o preserve_v they_o without_o it_o nay_o it_o be_v so_o much_o worse_o as_o by_o how_o much_o the_o soul_n be_v better_a than_o the_o body_n and_o as_o it_o be_v more_o necessary_a to_o obtain_v and_o keep_v and_o increase_v our_o spiritual_a life_n rather_o than_o our_o natural_a for_o as_o new_a bear_v babe_n we_o ought_v to_o desire_v the_o sincere_a milk_n of_o the_o word_n that_o we_o may_v grow_v thereby_o if_o we_o be_v

therefore_o the_o wisdom_n of_o christ_n to_o keep_v back_o many_o thing_n at_o present_a from_o his_o disciple_n which_o he_o have_v to_o say_v unto_o they_o because_o they_o can_v not_o bear_v

they_o become_v all_o thing_n unto_o all_o that_o they_o may_v win_v the_o more_o and_o enjoin_v other_o to_o receive_v the_o weak_a yet_o not_o unto_o doubtful_a disputation_n and_o tell_v the_o strong_a that_o they_o ought_v to_o bear_v the_o infirmity_n of_o the_o weak_a and_o not_o to_o please_v themselves_o and_o not_o to_o destroy_v their_o weak_a faith_n for_o who_o christ_n die_v and_o he_o whosoever_o that_o will_v be_v a_o faithful_a priest_n or_o teacher_n in_o thing_n concern_v god_n must_v follow_v christ_n example_n who_o though_o he_o be_v equal_a with_o god_n yet_o take_v upon_o he_o the_o form_n of_o a_o servant_n and_o be_v touch_v with_o a_o fellow-feeling_n of_o our_o infirmity_n that_o he_o may_v be_v a_o merciful_a high_a priest_n and_o have_v compassion_n on_o the_o ignorant_a and_o they_o that_o be_v out_o of_o the_o way_n he_o therefore_o in_o all_o thing_n become_v like_a unto_o we_o sin_n only_o except_v and_o who_o ever_o they_o be_v that_o have_v
