A93921	Something written in answer to a lying, scandalous book printed for E.B. in Pauls Church-yard, as he calls it, whose lies and slanders are denied by the children of Light, who in scorn are called Quakers, which book is proved to be a work of darkness: the author of it is said to be called Powel, who sold a copy of it for ten shillings, and now and then a flagon of beer, and would not have his name declared: so here your fruits is known of your trees, which are to be cut down and cast into the fire, and when you are there, remember you were warned. Also a declaration against the lies and slanders which are printed for G: Horton, that upon the truth they should not rest, but with the power and life of God be denyed; and who sees the end of them who makes lies their refuge, who are swept away with the beesom of destruction; which shall be witnessed with that of God in every one of your consciences: and them whom you in scorn call Quakers, from them is given forth who are in the Light that comprehends your deceits, seeth them that they are to be condemned with the Light.	Stodart, Amos.	1655 (1655)	Wing S5707; Thomason E848_14	8,638	8

So now you have time prize it least you say you had time and it is past This is the day of your visitation But if you say our craft must go down so said Diana when the truth was preached which truth now throws down all deceits and remember E. B. thou in thy life time art warned and Powel who art with the light seen and thy smell is savored thy Language is known and thy lie is seen and thou weighed in the ballance and thou found too light and thy measure is too short and thy weights is too light who the Serpent must feed but the seed of God canst not but with it art bruised G. Horton A Paper is printed by thee and no other Name subscribed to it it therefore thou must father all thy slanders in it upon thee we lay for it is the fruit that comes out of the old bottle and from the envious man which is that evil seed which grows upon the thorny ground and the stony ground and that which brings forth Bryars and Thorns thy seed may receive which is nigh unto curfing and to be rejected and the Title of thy paper thou call'st The Quakers Beacon fired and many unfavory expressions in it which be not worth mentioning which the honest simple-hearted will not give ear to the reading of it except to discover thy folly but now it doth appear how the wicked fret themselves and gnaw their tongues such as are wholly given up to believe lies cast out all their filthy stuff upon the Children of light but praised be God it doth not touch them nor stain their garments who are made white with the blood of the Lamb for though now the Sea roars and foams and the Lyons roars because they have not their prey yet God it is that stops their their mouthes and hath set the bounds of the Sea that the waves they cannot pass And those which you in scorn calls Quakers do witness Quaking and shaking away that which must be shaken and winnowing of that which must be winnowed according to the Scriptures which the holy men of God did witness and a Hell and the Beesom of destruction which sweeps all that makes lies their refuge for such forgets God and must be turned into Hell and that doth wickedly and this shalt thou witness G. Horton and the Ministers of Jesus Christ we own according to the Scriptures and Revelations we own according to the Scriptures for none knows the Son but the Father neither knows any man the Father but the Son and he to whom the Son reveals him and thou that makes a scoff at this makes a scoff at the Revelation of the Son of God and the end of thy Religion is seen and Heaven is Gods Throne and Earth is his footstool and all the Laws that are good we own which thou says we sweep away but the custom of thy sin hath taken away the sense of it And then thou speakest much of a people called Ranters and much thou bringest of their conditions and practices against them which thou in scorn callst Quakers but their condition and thy condition is denyed with the spirit of truth And thou saist they despise the Ministers of the Word that is another of thy lies for the Ministers of the Letter is denyed by them which thou in scorn calls Quakers which are the Ministers of the word who are made able Ministers of the Spirit but not of the Letter and that of Jude shall stand for thy self being one that is separated from the Spirit of God and a Reprobate concerning the Faith and Faith that works by love is owned And the last Paper put forth against your lies clears and shews the resurrection and witnessing of it And the Faith the gift of God is received which Faith works by love And your Ordinances of men are denied and are not to be touched nor tasted as the Apostle saith and the Churches of the world are denyed and that Church which is in God is witnessed Thess 1.1 And them that are deceived by you are bewitched as the Gallathians was and who are kept under thy lies are deceived by thee as Simon Magus was but the light of God is risen glory to him for ever and thy Lies are discovered and them that makes lies their refuge and the Swine do cry and the Dogs bark and the Beasts do run which makes many people to admire and wonder and despise at the works of the Lord which makes many ears to tingle but wonderers and despisers perish and you which are quite run besides Scripture sense and reasonables have set your selves as a Beacon for all to look at a Generation of Lyars which saith the Devils Ministers hath transformed themselves into the Ministers of Righteousness when the Scripture doth not say so O Blasphemers for if the Devil can transform himself into Righteousness let all the upright judge whether this be not quite contrary to the Scriptures but this is like unto the rest of the lies in thy book which is not worth mentioning but in the day of thy calamity remember how in thy prosperity how fruitful thou was in the works of darkness and sowing thy lies but the way of the wicked shall be stopped which shall into Hell be turned who art seen to be one of them to come under the Prophesie who saith Report and we will report whose Tongues are bent to tell lies and slanders their Neighbors privily Against whom the Lords hand is turned and his Bow bent when his Arrows stick fast in your sides Remember in the day of your slaughter in your life-time you was warned and this was love to your souls and many unsavory words be in thy paper which is not worth mentioning but home to thy self shall return but thy unsavory smell is into the Nation ascended which comes from the unclean Spirit which such long have caused the Nation to stinck But the Lord is rising by his mighty power who will take away these filthy and noisom smells by and in whose power we are preserved which drives away the refuge of lies and the Lyars to the Lake of fire and that in your Consciences in the day of condemnation and calamity shall witness us whom you in scorn call Quakers whom you in your life-time make a trade in Printing lies slanders and false reports against them to be friends of your souls and your eternal Good and so the Lord forgive you that this great sin be not laid to your charge Every one shall have reward according to their works Your reward will be great and heavy though now you may lead your life as him that Christ spoke of who went into the torment and fire who had pleasure in his life-time there is an example for you but at this you may snuff as the wilde Ass spoken of in Jeremy but there is a moneth when you shall be taken and then think on us Consider what was spoken in thy life-time from them whom you in scorn call Quakers And in the Scout is printed by R. Wood for G. Horton In it is found many lies and slanders against those people whom he scornfully calls Quakers but all the lies and slanders is condemned with the Light and the Lyars with them G. Horton mention the woman that is gone beyond the Sea the Pilgrimage as thou saist else for ever let thy mouth be stopt Also more slanderous Speeches is uttered by thou Walker as the Quakers black Error which black Error is thy own for to the truth we are converted from thy black Error Therefore the venomn thou hast uttered forth against the children of Light with which Light thou lyar and thy lies are condemned to the Lake of Fire which burns which cannot be quenched From them whom you in scorn call Quakers Amos Stodard John Bolton Simon Dring Gerrard Roberts Robert Rich.
