A89135	Antichrist in man the Quakers Idol. Or a faithfull discovery of their ways and opinions by an eye and ear-witness thereof. Together with an answer and confutation of some dangerous and damnable doctrines justified, in a paper sent by them unto me: as also one of them taken with a lie in his mouth before the magistrates. / By Joshuah Miller, a servant of Christ in the work of the Gospel.

give_v this_o distinction_n of_o a_o threefold_a light_n which_o to_o i_o the_o scripture_n warrant_v the_o first_o be_v the_o light_n of_o nature_n or_o reason_n this_o every_o man_n have_v and_o this_o be_v mean_v by_o that_o word_n john_n 1.9_o yea_o this_o light_n it_o be_v the_o quaker_n contend_v for_o to_o be_v sufficient_a and_o this_o be_v but_o a_o comparative_a darkness_n to_o the_o second_o and_o that_o you_o may_v have_v not_o my_o word_n for_o the_o same_o paul_n uphold_v this_o distinction_n the_o gentile_n which_o know_v not_o god_n do_v by_o nature_n the_o thing_n contain_v in_o the_o law_n where_o take_v notice_n what_o do_v paul_n mean_a by_o nature_n nothing_o else_o but_o the_o light_n they_o have_v to_o distinguish_v they_o from_o beast_n yet_o mark_v he_o say_v they_o know_v not_o god_n for_o all_o this_o light_n so_o 1_o cor._n 11.14_o do_v not_o nature_n teach_v you_o what_o can_v be_v more_o perspicuous_a then_o to_o signify_v the_o light_n which_o be_v

this_o second_o the_o light_n of_o christ_n awake_v thou_o that_o sleep_v and_o christ_n shall_v give_v thou_o light_n eph._n 5.14_o he_o mean_v here_o of_o a_o secure_a sinner_n under_o satan_n power_n so_o it_o be_v say_v he_o have_v redeem_v or_o call_v we_o out_o of_o darkness_n into_o his_o marvellous_a light_n what_o be_v this_o marvellous_a light_n but_o that_o of_o faith_n in_o bring_v the_o sinner_n to_o christ_n the_o first_o light_n be_v no_o wonder_n because_o its_o common_a to_o all_o this_o second_o be_v to_o be_v admire_v because_o peculiar_a to_o some_o 1_o pet._n 2.9_o 3._o light_n be_v that_o of_o glory_n which_o be_v the_o consummation_n and_o perfection_n of_o the_o two_o former_a and_o this_o i_o understand_v by_o that_o word_n of_o christ_n he_o that_o follow_v i_o shall_v not_o walk_v in_o darkness_n but_o shall_v have_v the_o light_n of_o life_n john_n 8.12_o mark_v it_o speak_v in_o the_o future_a tense_n as_o if_o our_o life_n now_o be_v not_o full_a of_o light_n that_o be_v total_o free_v from_o dark_a thought_n evil_a motion_n and_o the_o like_a but_o the_o time_n shall_v come_v when_o he_o that_o follow_v i_o shall_v partake_v of_o a_o life_n without_o sin_n or_o any_o darkness_n at_o all_o now_o let_v none_o mis-understand_a i_o i_o do_v not_o say_v or_o mean_v that_o there_o be_v three_o light_n in_o god_n but_o a_o threefold_a degree_n of_o the_o same_o light_n as_o the_o sun_n shine_v not_o nor_o heat_v not_o all_o over_o at_o first_o break_v forth_o so_o glorious_o as_o it_o do_v at_o noon_n as_o there_o be_v three_o light_n in_o the_o firmament_n yet_o they_o be_v from_o one_o so_o this_o threefold_a light_n the_o lord_n have_v make_v to_o manifest_v himself_o three_o way_n the_o first_o be_v under_o and_o before_o the_o law_n the_o second_o be_v in_o the_o gospel_n and_o the_o three_o be_v in_o glory_n the_o first_o light_n make_v we_o man_n the_o second_o light_n make_v we_o christian_n man_n the_o three_o glorify_a man_n the_o first_o bring_v we_o under_o the_o rule_n of_o the_o law_n the_o second_o bring_v we_o under_o the_o rule_n of_o christ_n in_o the_o gospel_n and_o the_o last_o bring_v we_o to_o the_o kingdom_n of_o god_n in_o the_o beatifical_a vision_n and_o i_o hope_v that_o we_o may_v safe_o distinguish_v where_o the_o scripture_n do_v he_o that_o understand_v these_o three_o degree_n or_o measure_n of_o light_n will_v be_v able_a to_o escape_v the_o snare_n the_o fowler_n of_o this_o opinion_n have_v lay_v for_o he_o i_o come_v now_o to_o the_o second_o that_o the_o scripture_n be_v not_o the_o word_n and_o mind_n of_o god_n to_o we_o but_o the_o condition_n of_o they_o that_o speak_v they_o forth_o answ_n in_o the_o beginning_n be_v the_o word_n and_o the_o word_n be_v god_n which_o be_v before_o scripture_n be_v write_v neither_o be_v it_o in_o the_o beginning_n and_o the_o scripture_n be_v but_o that_o which_o testify_v of_o it_o and_o here_o that_o which_o thou_o call_v error_n be_v own_v for_o the_o scripture_n be_v one_o thing_n and_o the_o word_n of_o god_n another_o thing_n and_o thou_o that_o have_v no_o knowledge_n of_o the_o mind_n of_o god_n but_o by_o scripture_n do_v manifest_v thyself_o that_o thou_o have_v no_o better_a knowledge_n of_o god_n than_o the_o heathen_a which_o do_v write_v on_o their_o altar_n to_o the_o unknown_a god_n and_o thou_o be_v not_o a_o minister_n of_o the_o spirit_n who_o say_v it_o be_v a_o error_n to_o hold_v that_o the_o scripture_n be_v not_o the_o word_n of_o god_n and_o thou_o that_o have_v no_o word_n of_o god_n nor_o know_v nothing_o of_o god_n but_o by_o the_o scripture_n declare_v thyself_o that_o thou_o be_v a_o stranger_n to_o god_n and_o his_o word_n confut._n in_o this_o answer_v you_o may_v see_v as_o in_o a_o glass_n what_o they_o maintain_v i_o shall_v take_v it_o into_o three_o part_n and_o answer_v the_o same_o 1._o they_o aver_v the_o scripture_n not_o to_o be_v god_n word_n and_o what_o reason_n they_o give_v be_v because_o christ_n be_v call_v the_o word_n of_o god_n in_o divers_a scripture_n but_o will_v it_o hence_o follow_v that_o we_o may_v not_o call_v the_o scripture_n god_n word_n no_o more_o than_o david_n call_v himself_o though_o prophetical_o of_o christ_n a_o worm_n and_o no_o man_n make_v he_o the_o less_o a_o man_n psal_n 22.6_o do_v not_o the_o word_n of_o the_o lord_n come_v to_o the_o prophet_n and_o be_v not_o that_o word_n set_v down_o in_o divers_a chapter_n as_o jerem._n 2_o 1.7.1_o hosea_n 1.2_o be_v not_o this_o the_o word_n of_o the_o lord_n to_o we_o for_o our_o instruction_n though_o it_o come_v first_o to_o they_o be_v it_o the_o word_n of_o god_n then_o and_o not_o now_o shall_v we_o take_v the_o writing_n as_o the_o word_n of_o the_o prophet_n or_o not_o rather_o the_o word_n of_o god_n speak_v by_o they_o indeed_o here_o lie_v the_o distinction_n christ_n be_v the_o original_a and_o essential_a word_n of_o god_n but_o the_o scripture_n be_v the_o word_n of_o god_n declarative_a what_o difference_n betwixt_o a_o man_n mind_n and_o his_o word_n nothing_o but_o the_o word_n of_o man_n be_v the_o declaration_n of_o his_o mind_n the_o scripture_n must_v be_v either_o of_o these_o word_n 1._o the_o word_n of_o the_o devil_n or_o 2._o the_o word_n of_o man_n or_o 3._o the_o word_n of_o god_n to_o say_v its_o the_o first_o be_v diabolical_a blasphemy_n to_o aver_v the_o second_o be_v idolatry_n but_o to_o hold_v the_o three_o be_v sound_a and_o sober_a divinity_n i_o will_v only_o give_v one_o plain_a argument_n from_o scripture_n to_o prove_v it_o god_n word_n argum._n if_o one_o command_n of_o god_n in_o scripture_n be_v call_v god_n word_n than_o all_o the_o command_n of_o god_n in_o scripture_n be_v and_o may_v be_v call_v god_n word_n but_o one_o command_n be_v call_v god_n word_n ergo._n the_o prove_v of_o the_o major_a will_v ratify_v the_o minor_a without_o further_a demonstration_n for_o if_o i_o make_v appear_v that_o one_o command_n be_v style_v the_o word_n of_o god_n than_o it_o must_v needs_o follow_v the_o rest_n be_v so_o for_o proof_n hereof_o read_v the_o word_n of_o christ_n himself_o mark_v 7.10_o 11_o 12_o 13._o where_o christ_n quote_v the_o five_o commandment_n and_o tell_v they_o that_o some_o not_o obey_v that_o in_o relieve_v their_o parent_n have_v make_v the_o word_n of_o god_n of_o none_o effect_n for_o moses_n say_v in_o the_o law_n honour_v thy_o father_n and_o mother_n and_o whosoever_o curse_v father_n or_o mother_n let_v he_o die_v the_o death_n but_o you_o say_v if_o a_o man_n shall_v say_v unto_o his_o father_n or_o mother_n corban_n that_o be_v to_o say_v it_o be_v a_o gift_n by_o whatsoever_o thou_o may_v be_v profit_v by_o i_o he_o shall_v be_v free_a and_o you_o suffer_v he_o no_o more_o to_o do_v aught_o for_o his_o father_n or_o mother_n make_v the_o word_n of_o god_n of_o none_o effect_v by_o your_o tradition_n what_o be_v this_o word_n of_o god_n they_o make_v of_o none_o effect_n but_o this_o five_o commandment_n no_o other_o sense_n can_v be_v put_v upon_o it_o now_o if_o christ_n who_o be_v the_o essential_a word_n think_v it_o no_o disgrace_n to_o himself_o to_o call_v one_o command_v god_n word_n i_o may_v safe_o call_v all_o the_o command_v god_n word_n have_v christ_n my_o example_n for_o he_o make_v two_o word_n and_o be_v not_o christ_n better_a able_a to_o tell_v we_o what_o we_o shall_v call_v they_o then_o the_o quaker_n yea_o sure_o let_v
