A77969	Truth (the strongest of all) witnessed forth in the spirit of truth, against all deceit: and pleading in righteousnesse its owne cause, to the understanding of the simple, against a very great number of lyes, slanders, perverting of the Scriptures, contradictions and false damnable doctrines, held forth by the Independants. And in particular by one John Bunion, (one of Gogs Army) in two severall bookes put forth by him, against the despised scattered people called Quakers. And is a reply unto his second book, called A vindication, &c. wherein what was wanting in his former of fulfilling wickednesse is now appeared; by his adding sin unto sin, against God and against his owne soule. And this is to cleer the truth from above 100 of John Bunions foule dirty lyes and slanders: by a friend of the truth as it is in Christ Jesus; and not as it is in mens carnall apprehensions, Edward Burrough.	Burrough, Edward, 1634-1662.	1657 (1657)	Wing B6051; Thomason E910_3; ESTC R207500	55,009	70

in the sight of God whether thou art not found under some of these carrectars at least or whether thou art not one in union and fellowship with such who act these things yea thou art among them and not crying against them and so art guilty of their sin though not as fully in the act as are some may be so that I doubt not but they who have not hardened their hearts and blinded their eyes will see how thou hast condemned thy self in confessing the truth and the time is coming that further it will be made manifest concerning thee only at present thou art sufficiently discovered to be out of the truth in the way of perdition and how ever though thou hast covered thy selfe as much as is possible from the stroke of thy owne hand and from the guilt of thy own confession yet Jo. Burton thou hast condemned an hundred I thinke of Independant Ministers so called thy brethren who are known to be found guilty of those things all or most of them which thou confesses are marks of a false Prophet and while thou bids us examine our selves thou art the man or among them that are proved truly guilty He saith He is not come to one of the dayes of the thousand yeares of Satans being chained and this is truly confessed and so he is in the reigne and government of the Devill and Satan is not bound but at liberty in him as it well appeares and Christs reigne is not known and so it must needs be true that he is of the Army of the Draggon against the Lamb Some of the same members with him said in Bedford That they scorned that light which convinceth of sin which the Quakers speaks of Further most falsly I am charged by him with railing against the Lord Jesus which is absolute false my words are spoken in feare and reverence of the Lord Jesus Reader these things I leave to thee to be judged of his false slanders and his damnable doctrins and wicked lying accusations and contradictions which his 9 sheets of paper is filled with as if he had set himself to lye and slander and speak wickedly against the truth which is over him and is a testimony against him and though opposed by him yet not confounded but him it confounds and by it he shall be judged and condemned and the time comes when further he may be made manifest if this be not sufficient out of the abundance of his heart hath his wicked tongue tered these things which are but a little of what lodges in him but let him prove these things first and then utter more AND now John Bunian thou and thy false witnesses and all thy company and brethren in iniquity Remember and repent for the day of your visitation is upon you blessed were you if you could receive it before it be spent not to be recalled and before the long suffering of God come to an end and you be shut up in utter darknesse and indeed friends the day hastens wherein every man shall receive according to his deeds he that hath done evill shall not be cloaked and he that hath done good shall not be uncovered in that day when the secrets of all hearts shall be laid open and searched with the eternall eye the end of my worke is to clear the truth and the way thereof God is witnesse from thy slanderous and lying and perverting tongue and onely I reproove thee by the Spirit of the Lord and so leaves thee to receive thy reward from the just God of righteous judgement who upon thy head will render vengeance in flames of fire in his dreadfull day which upon thee comes suddenly even when thou and you cries peace peace then shall destruction come as an armed man from which thou shalt not fly to escape though now you all be hardened against the Lord and his way and truth and hath even bent thy tongue for lyes and hath reproached the innocent to the peirceing of thy own soule and one day shalt thou know it therefore bow and tremble before the Lord God thou and all thy companions a lyar and slanderer thou art a perverter and wrester of the right way of God and of the Scriptures a hipocrite and dissembler a holder forth of damnable doctrines an envious man and false accuser condemning another falsly in what thy selfe is fully guilty of these things I lay to thy charge justly in the presence of the Lord God and upon thy account are they reckoned by him and proved by testimony in the sight of man and may be more fully hereafter if any thing be wanting and one day shalt thou feele the burthen of them though now thou be above shame and all thy lyes slanders deceits confusions hypocrisies contradictions and damnable doctrines of Devils with impudency held forth by thee shall be consumed in the Pit of vengeance and then shall the witnesse in thy conscience justifie the Lord in condemning thee me to be true in reproving thee and this I say to thee and you all the liveing God you know not nor his Son Jesus Christ but are enemies to God and * persecuters of the Lord of life and shall perish among the uncircumcised yee false witnesses and wicked helpers you may be ashamed of your testimony subscribed at the beginning of his lying scribble will you yet say through Grace those things are true the father stop your mouthes in the dust who hath offended the Lord more then defended him or your selves and be ashamed in the presence of God and man much more may be said hereafter to lay you further open if you yet harden your hearts in your wickednesse but I doe rather reprove you then strive with you and rather desires your return to God then your condemnation by him and with this I shall end and by what is said in short is sufficient to manifest you and John Bunian to all honest people what generation you are of and that you are guided by a lying and unclean spirit and that you are doing the Devils worke in gain-saying the way of truth and righteousnesse by your multitude of lyes and slanders and damnable doctrines and whatever you account or falsly judge of me yet am I true though as a deceiver and the Lords servants and a witnesse for him and against all your lyes and slanders and wickednesse hatched amongst you and brought forth by a lyeing orator whom you have made your mouth into the view of the world even a cursed birth and the father of it and the womb that conceived it and it shall rot and perish as the dunge and not accomplish any part of the end of your desire for so loathsome it is being truly searched and laid open that it hath not obtained neither the praise of God nor man but is defamed by men and condemned of God alas alas for thee John Bunian thy severall months travell in griefe and paine is a fruitlesse birth and
