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

child_n for_o so_o they_o be_v command_v by_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n in_o the_o holy_a scripture_n and_o to_o take_v heed_n to_o the_o law_n and_o testimony_n whereby_o they_o will_v try_v the_o spirit_n whether_o they_o be_v of_o god_n for_o if_o they_o do_v not_o speak_v according_a to_o these_o it_o be_v because_o there_o be_v no_o light_n in_o they_o but_o the_o spirit_n of_o darkness_n that_o rule_v in_o the_o child_n of_o disobedience_n as_o be_v more_o at_o large_a in_o the_o book_n 2._o second_o their_o spirit_n teach_v they_o to_o deny_v the_o scripture_n to_o be_v the_o word_n of_o god_n and_o to_o call_v they_o carnal_a and_o a_o dead_a letter_n but_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n teach_v we_o that_o every_o word_n of_o god_n be_v pure_a and_o that_o all_o scripture_n be_v give_v by_o inspiration_n of_o god_n and_o that_o the_o word_n which_o christ_n have_v speak_v to_o we_o be_v spirit_n and_o life_n to_o they_o that_o believe_v they_o and_o receive_v they_o in_o love_n 3._o their_o spirit_n teach_v they_o to_o speak_v evil_a of_o all_o man_n that_o embrace_v not_o their_o lie_a doctrine_n and_o way_n but_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n teach_v we_o to_o speak_v evil_a of_o no_o man_n but_o to_o honour_v all_o man_n and_o as_o much_o as_o in_o we_o lie_v to_o have_v peace_n with_o all_o man_n 4._o their_o spirit_n teach_v they_o to_o revile_v and_o disparage_v the_o minister_n of_o god_n and_o to_o blame_v and_o revile_v those_o that_o hear_v they_o and_o maintain_v they_o but_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n teach_v we_o to_o love_v and_o honour_v they_o and_o to_o communicate_v free_o and_o liberal_o for_o their_o maintenance_n that_o they_o may_v have_v lack_n of_o nothing_o nor_o need_v to_o labour_v and_o entangle_v they_o with_o the_o affair_n of_o this_o life_n they_o be_v engage_v in_o a_o spiritual_a warfare_n against_o princiyality_n and_o power_n and_o spiritual_a wickedness_n etc._n etc._n for_o if_o it_o be_v true_a that_o god_n have_v so_o ordain_v that_o they_o that_o preach_v the_o gospel_n shall_v live_v of_o the_o gospel_n then_o it_o also_o follow_v that_o such_o church_n or_o people_n whosoever_o that_o do_v not_o so_o ordain_v and_o take_v care_n or_o do_v not_o so_o communicate_v to_o those_o that_o teach_v they_o as_o that_o they_o may_v live_v of_o the_o gospel_n and_o have_v lack_n of_o nothing_o for_o themselves_o or_o they_o but_o do_v enforce_v they_o to_o labour_n with_o their_o own_o hand_n and_o to_o entangle_v themselves_o with_o the_o affair_n of_o this_o life_n they_o be_v not_o obedient_a to_o the_o gospel_n of_o christ_n nor_o follower_n of_o god_n as_o his_o dear_a child_n neither_o do_v they_o walk_v in_o love_n as_o christ_n have_v love_v we_o nay_o they_o be_v so_o far_o unlike_o christian_n as_o that_o they_o be_v worse_o than_o infidel_n for_o if_o it_o be_v a_o unjust_a thing_n and_o a_o work_n of_o cruelty_n to_o mussle_v the_o mouth_n of_o a_o ox_n that_o tread_v out_o the_o corn_n how_o much_o more_o cruel_a will_v it_o one_o day_n appear_v to_o mussle_v the_o mouth_n of_o a_o minister_n and_o messenger_n of_o god_n that_o rule_v well_o and_o labour_v in_o the_o word_n and_o doctrine_n be_v they_o not_o more_o in_o value_n in_o the_o sight_n of_o god_n than_o many_o sparrow_n yea_o then_o many_o ox_n doubtless_o they_o be_v so_o in_o the_o sight_n of_o god_n and_o aught_o to_o be_v so_o in_o the_o sight_n of_o christian_n but_o how_o much_o press_v will_v this_o point_n need_n before_o it_o be_v effectual_a so_o as_o to_o naturalize_v christian_n like_o christian_n indeed_o i_o have_v much_o more_o in_o a_o manuscript_n that_o i_o write_v long_o since_o concern_v this_o point_n which_o when_o the_o lord_n see_v good_a may_v likewise_o be_v hold_v forth_o but_o 5._o their_o spirit_n teach_v and_o engage_v they_o also_o and_o that_o upon_o pain_n of_o eternal_a damnation_n not_o to_o use_v the_o word_n you_o but_o thou_o or_o thou_o to_o a_o single_a person_n but_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n never_o give_v we_o any_o such_o charge_n nor_o be_v we_o so_o limit_v by_o any_o rule_n in_o scripture_n but_o quite_o the_o contrary_a for_o we_o be_v command_v to_o give_v custom_n to_o who_o custom_n be_v due_a fear_v to_o who_o fear_n honour_n to_o who_o honour_n now_o it_o be_v the_o custom_n of_o all_o true_a christian_n in_o our_o english_a nation_n to_o use_v this_o word_n you_o when_o they_o direct_v their_o speech_n either_o to_o man_n or_o woman_n especial_o if_o they_o be_v their_o superior_n or_o if_o but_o their_o equal_n and_o that_o in_o mere_a civility_n as_o it_o be_v account_v fit_a and_o be_v seldom_o otherwise_o among_o civil_a man_n that_o have_v any_o breed_n or_o humanity_n in_o they_o and_o be_v not_o brutish_o irrational_a and_o besot_v in_o their_o mind_n save_v only_o in_o case_n when_o man_n be_v transport_v with_o passion_n as_o sometime_o civil_a man_n may_v in_o case_n when_o provoke_v by_o some_o injury_n or_o incivility_n offer_v they_o and_o when_o they_o show_v their_o displeasure_n or_o it_o may_v be_v be_v ready_a to_o fight_v they_o begin_v to_o thou_o each_o other_o and_o to_o revile_v and_o reproach_n and_o miscall_v one_o another_o just_a as_o the_o spirit_n of_o the_o quaker_n also_o act_v they_o but_o never_o at_o any_o time_n while_o they_o be_v in_o love_n and_o friendship_n and_o sobriety_n and_o that_o be_v the_o reason_n as_o i_o suppose_v why_o the_o spirit_n in_o the_o quaker_n will_v not_o allow_v they_o to_o give_v we_o any_o civil_a language_n because_o he_o can_v love_v we_o nor_o endure_v to_o be_v at_o peace_n with_o we_o but_o must_v needs_o show_v his_o wrath_n and_o malice_n against_o we_o it_o be_v so_o implacable_a and_o bitter_o seat_v and_o habituate_v in_o he_o for_o there_o be_v enmity_n put_v betwixt_o the_o seed_n of_o the_o woman_n and_o the_o seed_n of_o the_o serpent_n even_o from_o the_o beginning_n and_o therefore_o it_o be_v that_o if_o the_o quaker_n shall_v love_v we_o and_o give_v we_o civil_a language_n he_o can_v not_o endure_v to_o have_v any_o fellowship_n with_o they_o nor_o will_v he_o own_v and_o spirit_n and_o act_v they_o as_o he_o now_o do_v if_o they_o do_v not_o obey_v he_o in_o act_v so_o malicious_o and_o opprobrious_o against_o the_o people_n of_o god_n and_o against_o all_o god_n ordinance_n yea_o against_o the_o scripture_n itself_o and_o so_o by_o consequence_n against_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n which_o give_v it_o forth_o but_o it_o be_v wonderful_a to_o i_o how_o he_o ever_o wrought_v they_o up_o to_o such_o a_o height_n of_o exorbitancy_n in_o all_o these_o thing_n for_o it_o can_v be_v but_o mere_a civility_n and_o rationalitie_n and_o their_o wont_a custom_n of_o civility_n engage_v they_o to_o be_v rich_a and_o unwilling_a at_o the_o first_o to_o use_v they_o it_o be_v so_o improper_a a_o language_n and_o carriage_n for_o child_n to_o thou_o their_o parent_n servant_n their_o master_n subject_n their_o magistrate_n and_o inferior_n their_o superior_n of_o all_o sort_n and_o relation_n and_o bring_v they_o into_o such_o a_o snare_n as_o that_o they_o be_v make_v uncapable_a of_o live_v among_o and_o converse_v with_o man_n or_o occupy_v any_o trade_n merchandise_n especial_o and_o chief_o with_o stranger_n who_o can_v but_o think_v they_o either_o to_o be_v natural_a fool_n or_o distract_a person_n or_o some_o angry_a uncivil_a malicious_a man_n which_o will_v make_v they_o afraid_a to_o have_v any_o trade_n or_o deal_n with_o they_o and_o the_o truth_n be_v this_o their_o gross_a incivility_n do_v much_o hinder_v their_o growth_n and_o multiply_v and_o without_o all_o question_n satan_n will_v give_v they_o a_o full_a dispensation_n in_o many_o of_o these_o thing_n if_o it_o be_v not_o so_o that_o he_o be_v force_v through_o his_o malice_n only_o to_o act_v with_o and_o in_o such_o man_n as_o be_v real_o
