A65609	Quakery slain irrecoverably by the principal Quakers themselves, with a spiritual sword of their own forgery, whose names are here under-written their spreading spiritual murder cries up to heaven for justice, which appears clearly in this treatise ... / written in love as a fore-warning, given to all tender-hearted seeking, unsetled Christians, by Christopher Wade.	Wade, Christopher, 17th cent.	1657 (1657)	Wing W159; ESTC R33758	58,366	66

will tell thee That by thy taking out and adding to the words of that bock thou hast desperately involved thy self not onely to have thy part taken out of the book of Life but also to have all the plagues fall upon thee Leonard that are written in that book as is in full effect affirmed in Rev. 2.18 19. and not onely God's Law thus fiercely condemns thee and all such false quakers as thou hast proved thy self to be but also thy brother quaker James Naylers condemning Law aforesaid doth adjudge thee Leonard Fell by thy self manifested evil behaviour to be a lyer and so no abider in the truth but art of the Devil and not of Christ and because you quakers do refuse the gracious benefit of the Gospel-imputation that James Naylers censure of thee Leonard is true and just TWELFTHLY My twelfth Discourse is with thee Martha Simmonds and truely Martha thy folly is so apparent that I could almost have seemed to have thrown by my pen and have left thee to have been censured by thine own gross ignorance by thee published in print but yet I shall do thee this favour Martha to help thee to see how the Devil deludes thee if it may be Martha I finde in thy bock which thou callest A Lamentation for the lost Sheep amongst divers quakish errors by thee therein manifested as birds of a feather will flock together that even so thou Martha also hast perverted and wickedly falsified the cleer and plain sense of holy Scripture to serve thy master Satan where thou sayest Now Jesus Christ the second Adam who is God manifested in the flesh condemning sin in the flesh if thou live in him in thee and believe in him in thee thou shalt witness his power to the cutting down of thy will for thy will must come to death that the will of God may be done and so that Scripture comes to be fulfilled in thee which are the words of Christ Lo I come in the volume of thy book it is written of me to do thy will O God which is the book of conscience in thee there the will of God is to be done These be thy words Martha And now know thou and all quakers That Jesus Christ is before now come in his own distinct person of flesh without men but not come personally in yours nor any other mans body of flesh which is largely and firmly proved in my two last Discourses so that a man is not so to live in him in him nor so to believe in him in him as thou falsly saiest for you quakers Christ dwells in no man any other wayes but by Faith which is in plain and full effect proved in Ephes 3.17 neither is Christ abidingly in any man no not in God's sons but by his Spirit which is also proved in Gal. 4.6 and from this ground Christ's Spirit is called the Spirit of Faith 2 Cor. 4 4. and from thence the Saints are said to be the habition of God through to Spirit Eph. 2.22 but not whole Christ God and Man in men but by faith and his Spirit and therefore these Scriptures do confound that thy saying Martha And whereas thou saiest That that Scripture Lo I come in the volume of thy book it is written of me to do thy will O God Heb. 10.7 is to be fulfilled in men It is so evident That that will of God in that same Scripture mentioned is already fulfilled in Christs person onely and never was fulfilled in any other person nor never can be wrought over again in Christs person neither for that will of God was fulfilled by Christs death in his being sacrificed but Christ being raised from the dead dieth no more death hath no more dominion over him Rom. 6.9 This again proves cleerly That you quakers are not Christ as you brag you are for Christ now cannot die but it is apparent that you quakers do die as other men do therefore you quakers are not Christ and yet you are so impudent that you dare to say That as Christ is so are you in this world but shame attends upon you But to proceed it is evident That that will of God in that thy cited place mentioned Heb. 10.7 is not to be fulfilled in any mans person whatsoever but as that will of God hath been already perfectly fulfilled in Christ's person by his being personally sacrificed without men whereby he did put a total end to the vertues of all or any typical sacrifices And this is so evident a truth flying even in the very face of that thy false and lying saying Martha that it would be altogether superfluous any further to prove it then to intreat my Reader to peruse Heb. 10. from the 1 vers to the 12. In which space Martha's wickedly abused vers 7. is included And again Nartha whereas thou saiest That by the volume of the book in that place mentioned is meant of the volume of the book of mens consciences it is evident against the Devil speaking in thee Martha that by the volume of the book in that place mentioned is plainly meant to be the volume of the books of the Prophets for the same words written in thy cited vers Heb. 10.7 Lo I come in the volume of thy book it is written of me do appear plainly in the Prophet David's book in his Psalm 40.6 7 8. and in the volume of the Prophet Moses book and Esay 53. and divers other Prophets do in the volume of their books speak so clearly of Christ's death and being to be sacrificed that it would utterly be time lost any further to prove against thy quakish notorious lyes which thou hast learned by-heart by thy accustomed dancing after the Devil's pipe And hereby appears That by your quakers luciferian-like bragging as if you onely were in the light and yet by your falling down so extremely short in the understandings of such cleer and plain places of Scripture and by your delivering such eternally destructive Doctrine from them you deliver up your selves to be one of the most deluded and deluding miracles and monsters of the whole world THIRTEENTHLY My thirteenth Discourse is directed to the four and twentieth quaker the mighty writing quaker James Parnel And now comes his fearful blasphemies tumbling out of his Thraso-like boasting lying book which he calls A Shield of the Truth for observe my Reader and though it be one or more of the self-Christed quakers I care not for as it were passing by James Parnels murthering of himself in Colchester-Goal by his inordinate and by Scripture-condemned fasting as he said luciferian-like to shew himself to be a Prophet of the Lord for people to believe in him which was not to believe his words but to believe in him to whom he promised the eternal joyes of heaven as I finde recorded and said to be licensed according to order And passing by the numerous bulk of his great quakish errors his whole book being nothing else but lyes in

the drift of it I shall for brevity sake onely discover some few of them to give a taste to all the rest and to this end I finde recorded by him in his 31 pag. he therein affirming That John to wit the holy Apostle S● John though his peramount height would not stoop so low as to call him so but as being his equal if not his superiour he affirmed John said He that hath hope in him purifieth himself even as he is pure but St. John did not say so for he saith Every man that hath this hope in him purifieth himself c. But James Parnel hereby not onely falsifieth the very words of Scripture by his taking the most significant word this out of that Text but he also therewith telleth a notorious lye against all denial by his affirming John said so and so he also fathereth his loud lye upon St. John by his affirming John said so He that hath hope in him whereas St. John said not so but said Every man that hath this hope in him But beloved it is worth our search to futer out the cause why James Parnel was so frighted as to take out of that Text that significant word this and we shall finde that if James Parnel had not taken out the word this it would have led his Reader to search further to know what is meant by this hope as distinct from all other hopes and his Reader would finde out in the very next verse going before that verse what St. John meant by his saying Every man that hath this hope for St. John in his very next precedent verse saith Behold now are we the Sons of God and it doth not yet appear what we shall be but we know that when he shall appear we shall be like him for we shall see him as he is 1 John 3.2 but then in the next verse St. John saith And every man that hath this hope in him purifieth himself c. vers 3. to wit that hope which St. John declareth in his 3 verse But James Parnel was so amazed at those words this hope that he craftily took that word this out of that Text before he could make any quakish Doctrine of it But why so why so say you Why if he had taken in those words this hope they would have discovered First That whereas the quakers say That Christ's appearing the second time without sin unto salvation is manifested and accomplished in them both as Christ is God and Man But even the Sons of God in that Text do cry down that the quakers affirmation as being a delusion of the Devil for they even the Sons of God do affirm the flat contrary and say in full effect That Christ had not appeared by his second personal coming not so much as to them therefore much less in them though the quakers say That Christ is in them God and Man Secondly Those words this hope doth discover that whereas the quakers do affirm That they are so like Christ even in these their dayes of mortality that they do venture audaciously to say As he is so are we in this world even totally without sin in them as Christ is for they affirm That if a man be not totally free from sin in him he cannot be saved But even the sons of God do even in that Text affirm against the quakers That they were not like him in the dayes of their mortality and so were not then free from all sin in them as Christ is nor that they though they were even the Sons of God yet were not then so like Christ nor should be untill his second personal appearing for they there say We know that when we shall appear we shall be like him and it doth not yet appear what we shall be Thus punctually the Sons of God do by those words this hope confound that the quakers luciferian comparing themselves in equality to Christ Thirdly Those words this hope do discover that whereas the quakers tenents do maintain that no man can be a Son of God until Christ's second appearing God and man be manifested and accomplished in him But St. John and other Sons of God do in that Text maintain in plain and full effect that the Saints are the Sons of God even before Christs second personal appearing to them much less in them And whereas the quakers in full effect affirm that they have Christ God and Man in them in possession the Sons of God do affirm by that Text that it is their hope that Christ will appear at his second personal coming to them and not personally in them in possession And thus the holy Gospel-truths comprehended under those words this hope in that Text mentioned do utterly destroy all the three grounds upon which the whole Doctrine of quakery is founded even root and branch Now was it not high time think you my beloved for James Parnel to flie swiftly away from those words this hope This hope quotha it is enough not onely to affright James Parnel out of his light quakish wits but it doth also confound all the quakers not onely these in all England but also all quakers in all the whole world although no other Scriptures which do maintain the same Gospel infallible truths be produced against them for those two verses 1 John 3.2 3 are a key as is shewed to open a door of truth which doth utterly destroy all quakery root stem and twig this hope quotha I wonder James Parnal durst venture to come so ●eer it but you may see beloved That Satan in him and with him did go as wa●ily to work as they could for they first dragged that directing word this out of that Text and then so falsified they vapouringly howl'd i● forth as it were saying See here ●●e purity of the quakers Behold John saith That the quakers have s●me kinde of hope in them And now note James Parnel's direct falsifying the very words of the Scripture again for i● his 30 and 31 pag. he saith He that hath sin and saith he hath no sin deceives himself and is a lyer Thus be insers That there are some me● that have no sin in them which ●el●●th affirmed of himself in my ●earing of which here●f●ere but th●se his added words He that hath sin did not in that Text 1 John 1.8 and 〈◊〉 by his taking the word this out of the Scriptures as b●●●●e 〈…〉 his adding words unto the Scripture to delude people with 〈◊〉 ●●volved himself not onely to have his part taken out of the book 〈◊〉 but also to have all those plagues inflicted on him that are written in the book as is in full effect shewed Rev. 22.18 19. and for his lying brother quaker James Nayler's condemning law also adjudgeth him to be of the devil and not of Christ And now to discover James Parnel's notorious lyes and fearful blasphemies mixt together in his quakish Shield of the Truth note That in his 29 pag. he saith

is before shewed to speak the truth That in truth the quakers are of the very same many false Christs and false Prophets shewing signs and wonders for setting the quakers aside where is to be found in all the whole world any people professing Christianity as the quakers in a false way do that do declare themselves to be Christ and do apply to themselves Christ's titles and do take upon them to save souls and do declare themselves to be Prophets and do show signs and wonders as the quakers and no other people besides them in the whole Christian world do All which as it confirmeth the quakers censure That the quakers are of the Devil and not of Christ so is further still discovered that the ten forenamed quakers are lying dissembling equivocating deluding hypocrites And I will add nothing to their own begotten titles ELEVENTHLY I say to thee Leonard Fell That whereas thou art charged in the 9 pag. of Saul's Errand that thou Leonard Fell didst say That Christ had no Body but his Church and thou ownest those words to be thy words by thy thereto stifly endeavouring to prove those same words to be true and rather then fail thou hast wickedly falsified the very words of holy Scripture to prove that thy false saying to be true for where the Scripture saith God was in Christ reconciling the world unto himself not imputing their trespasses unto them 2 Cor. 5.19 and though thou citest that place for thy proof yet thy deluding Tutor hath overcome thee to maintain his false quakery to render that place to be thus Thou having first said Christ came to redeem his Church which is a truth and as the Devil doth sometime say the truth the more easily thereby to deceive even so thou dost Leonard for closely following that truth thou trailest in thy falshood affirming That God was in Christ reconciling the world to himself for his body sake which is his 〈◊〉 And thus as if thy fingers were lime-twigs thou hast dragged these true words not imputing their trespasses to them out of that place which words concern the world and then thou hast Daemon-like craftily added unto that place in the room of those words which thou hast stollen out these words for his Bodies sake which is his Church which is flat contrary to that Text for those words by thee foysted into that place concerns his Church onely but the Text concerns the world But had Christ no Body but his Church sayst thou Leonard Why Leonard you quakers say That Christ is in your bodies God and Man Now Leonard hath Christ as you say he is Man in you no Body of his own in you but your bodies how can he then possibly be Christ-Man in you or within your bodies Again Leonard you quakers do frequently acknowledge both in writings and verbal words That Christ did personally at Jerusalem though you say as Christ-flesh is without men he is their example onely But had Christ no Body but his Church when he died at Jerusalem then if that saying of yours were true That Christ had no Body but his Church it could be no other but that his Church being his onely Body was slain and put to death on the cross at Jerusalem Fie fie you quakers when will you leave off your ridiculous foolishness But note my beloved that by their saying That they have Christ God and man in them and by their saying That Christ had no Body but his Church which is no other but this That Christ had no Body but his Saints bodies for his Saints are his Church and they say That they are his Saints and every ripe quaker doth say That Christ is in them as their tenents do declare Now these their sayings being compared together doth make manifest That every ripe quaker in their particular bodies are Christ for they plainly affirm That Christ had no body but his Church to wit in full effect he had no body but theirs his Saints bodies and so they would prove their own bodies to be Christ or else Christ had no body at all And this Logick of theirs doth so fully again discover that which is said of them in my last Discourse concerning their proclaiming themselves to be Christ their attributing to themselves Christs power and titles that it is worthy of much observation But know all you quakers That God's inspired Word his holy Scriptures are so far contrary to your satanical enthusemiated teachings that they do not onely deny that your bodies are Christ's body but they also do deny that Christ's person or body is in your bodies which to your shame and utter confusion you may behold where it is said plainly by two Messengers as it appears sent from Heaven in white apa●●● which also said Ye men of Galilee why stand ye gazing up into heaven this same Jesus which is taken up from you into heaven shall so come in like manner as ye have seen him go into heaven Acts 1.10 11. And this place alone is altogether sufficient utterly to destroy your vainly conceited personal Man-Christ in you and also to pull down your spacious heaven which by your devil like perverting the holy Scripture you besotted quakers do imagine to be in your self-proved wicked bodies and to the very same end do you a spiring quakers vouchsafe to look down into these Scriptures Mat. 24.30 and 26.64 Mark 13.26 1 Thes 4 17. Rev. 1.7 1 Pet. 3.23 Phil. 3.20 Titus 3.13 1 John 3.2 And also know all you quakers That your betters and better taught even of God though you are taught of the Devil do say The holy Ghost is sent down from heaven 1 Pet. 1.12 and that Jesus Christ is gone into heaven and is on the right hand of God 1 Pet. 3.22 then neither God's essence nor the heaven in which God's essence is nor Christs person was in Peters holy body though your tenents brag that all these are in your bodies Again you quakers holy St. Paul said Our conversation is in heaven from whence also we look for the Saviour the Lord Jesus Christ Phil. 3.20 then Christ's person nor the heaven which it is in was not in St. Pauls body Again you quakers St. Paul doth yet strike more fiercely at that your conceited Man-Christ in you where he saith Whilst we are at home in the body we are absent from the Lord 2 Cor. 5.6 and he explaineth what he means by the word body he calling it Our earthly house of this tabernacle vers 1. And by the bright and warm Scripture sun-beams your quakers Heaven and God and Man-Christ in you are vanished away into a noysome and stinking hellish fog and the Devil is laid open speaking in thee Leonard Fell by thy saying That Christ had no body but his Church and by thy so Daemon-like falsifying the words of the holy Scripture to face out thy lyes to be as if they were truth so fathering thy lyes upon God himself But Leonard I

1 Tim. 2.9 And now my beloved ones consider seriously that the Devils instruments can by the Devils power and permission work deceitful miraculous signs and wonders even as is deceitfully wrought at the quakers meetings and preachings even so powerful beloved as shall deceive if it were possible the very elect And now my Reader I pray thee to note seriously that in James Naylers before recited severe sentence of condemning all Christians that have any sin to be found in them in these words of his But who says they know Christ and are redeemed and commit sin not keeping his commandments is a lyer and so abides not in the truth and anoynting and so is of the devil and not of Christ These be his words And now I pray thee observe that he is led not onely according to his use falsly to add words to that Text 1 John 2.4 but also although our Saviour Christ hath made a cleer distinction betwixt his Gospel-commands and his Fathers moral Law-commands where he saith If ye keep my commandments ye shall abide in my love even as I have kept my Fathers commandments and abide in his love John 15.10 and although this distinction sets forth a true abiding in the Doctrine of Christ as but for brevity sake I could by Scripture shew much more largely yet James Nayler as aforesaid is satanically overpowered to confound into one law the Fathers killing moral law written on Mount Sinai and Christs mount Sinai's healing Gospel-law of life which runs in this and the like gracious tenure He that believeth on him that justifieth the ungodly his faith is counted for righteousness Rom. 4 5 But as James hath done so whilst he remains a quaker he must confound the Gospel-law and the moral law into one and the same law or else as quakery cannot stand so James Nayler and the quakers could not so easily make choice of moral law works to be wrought in mens bodies for their saluation and so also the devil would fall short by his quakers to declare that they themselves are notorious sinners and yet do deny the Gospel-imputation and that so they themselves are of the Devil and not of Christ FOURTEENTHLY My fourteenth Discourse is directed to all the quakers for you quakers considering the plain evidences that your quakish conducters have published by their as it were throwing filthy stinking mire and dirt in the very face of all quakery Now you quakers haue a just cause not onely to howl but to howl out loud for it appears that you quakers are very expert in howling for John Gilpin in the 3 pag. of his book ●●e calls the quakers shaken printed London 1655. affirmeth that whilst he was a quaker he was constrained to fall down on his bed where he howl'd in a terrible and hiddeous manner to the great astonishment of his family which he also there saith is usual with them to wit the quakers and also Mr. Samuel Clark in his 461 pag. of his book he intituled A Mirror or Looking-glass doth declare That in anno Christi 1653. there came some quakers out of the North into Wales to win some Professors to their party boasting themselves were perfect and without sin which some of the principallest quakers here have affirmed of themselves in my hearing and he declareth That at those quakers meeting there after long silence had such risings and swellings in their bowels sending forth such shreekings yellings and howlings as not onely affrighted the Spectators but caused the dogs to bark the swine to cry ond the cattel to run about to the astonishment of all that heard them but it can no ways be proved that people have shreeked as Night-Owls yelled as infernal Syirits and have howl'd as devoured dogs and wolves at peoples meetings at the preachings of the true Gospel of our blessed Christ and far much more less that dogs and swine and other cattel are then are thereby forc'd into such a violent distempered rage nor that little children who are utterly uncapable to understand either what is done or said at the preaching of the true Gospel do fall down and roar and their bellies swell and foam at the mouth then and thereby as appears that besides men and women so tormented that even little children also are in that manner fearfully tormented at the quakers meetings or preachings of quakery which the quakers do not deny though it be charged upon them which appears in Saul's Errand And I now acknowledging my self to be really a very unworthy Servant of my blessed Lord Jesus Christ yet I remain unto all true Gospel-believers and considers in my blessed Lord Jesus his death and precious blood shed without men and also to all them that do desire so to believe Their affectionate and officious Servant in Christ Christopher Wade POSTSCRIPT NOte That all James Nayler's proud Luciferian behaviours all his disciples blasphemous exaltations of James Nayler at Bristol even with no less then divine titles as appears in print are all of them strong confirmations of the justness of all the accusations that are charged upon the quakers in this precedent Treatise And it is to be marvelled at That considering the Scriptures do fight so fiercely against all your quakery that you quakers do not quite forsake all and any use of the Scriptures to support you and why you do not act from your enthusiasms only and alone and in your wandring courses to knock your hand upon your brest and say Here here 't is and then continue to tell the people a long story that you are sent from heaven and are taught from heaven but then it will be also to be wondred at how exceeding ignorant those people must be that will believe you And concerning your Mystery you so much boast of know all you quakers That the Mystery of God's will concerning men is not lock'd up in quakery but is made manifest by the Scriptures of the Prophets Rom. 16.25 26. and is also made manifest by the Apostles see Ephes 3.7 9. Ephes 1.9 Col. 1.26 but you quakers know it not And now my Reader thou mayest take notice conveniently That since my finishing of this my foregoing Treatise there is by providence come to my hands two short books printed both of them appearing to be composed by the joynt consent of two men whose names are as they therein say John Reve and Lodowick Muggleton who say That they are taught by immediate revelations from Christ himself as appears without God's mediate help by his Scriptures even as the quakers do in full effect say they pretend also that they onely are the two Witnesses of God mentioned in the Re elations they do say That their commission is to this effect they saying God hath chosen us two onely and hath put the two-edged sword of his Spirit into mouths that whom we are made to pronounce blessed are blessed to eternity and whom we are made to pronounce cursed are cursed to eternity and
