TO THE POPE And All His Cardinals Bishops Jesuits Monks and Friars with all the rest of his People Who are Reprobates concerning the Faith of Christ Gospel-Order and true Religion And also the Papists prov'd to be a Seditious Sect. BEING Something in Answer to Aeneas Mach. Gilmury and Mauritius Bern who call themselves Students of Art J. L. J. S. Evil Men and Seducers shall wax worse and worse deceiving and being deceived 2 Tim. 3.13 As Jannes and Jambres withstood Moses so do these resist the Truth Men of corrupt Minds Reprobates concerning the Faith 2 Tim. 3.8 God shall send them strong Delusions that they should believe a Lye that they all might be damned who believe not the Truth but had pleasure in Vnrighteousness 2 Thes 2.11 12. Printed in the Year 1671. To the POPE and all his Cardinals Bishops Jesuits Monks and Friars with all the rest of his People I Have received a Paper subscribed by Aeneas M. Gillmury and Mauritius Bern who call themselves Students of Arts and both Professors of the Apostolical and Roman Catholique Church which is a pretended Answer to John Stubbs and James Lancaster their Quaeries and Challenges they sent to the Papists and the Pope and his Cardinals and Jesuits c. But all people may see that this is not an Answer but instead of answering they beg the Question and fall a railing and sometimes Daub and Flatter thinking by their daubing and flattering to put out the Eyes of their simple deluded people And these two Papists seem to be much grieved because our Challenge is directed to the Pope and his Cardinals and Jesuits They find fault with our Long-windedness or sounding a Trumpet as a Horn which well we may do to alarum the Pope his Jesuits and Cardinals For we must tell them that we have the Breath of the Almighty which will reach to Rome by which we come to be living Souls And did not the Jesuits and Priests say in Ireland that they had no License from the Pope to answer us and now we have alarum'd the Pope and Cardinals and Friars and Jesuits it is well that he doth confess this is Long-windedness over their muddy breath And now they tell us that they can answer at Home and that we need not send to the Pope but no Answer to our Challenge as the Reader of our Challenge and this Paper may see that their Mouths are stopt and that they cannot maintain their own corrupt Principle nor seditious Sect. And as for your saying that you are both Professors of the Roman-Catholique Church this is false for the Roman-Catholique Church as it was in the Apostles dayes you are degenerated from and are come to be a Seditious Sect and do spread your Heretical Opinions from your Heresies which you have at Rome and are a Schism and Schismatical rent from the Catholique Church of Rome as it was in the Apostles Dayes for Catholique we do understand is Vniversal and are erred from that Universal Power and Faith and Gospel and Spirit that the Apostles were in you are erred from as easie is to be proved 1st You the Church of Rome are a Seditious Sect with all her company and you are found in Herod a Persecutor you are found in Nebuchadnezar a Burner by your Fires you are found in Judas with your Swords and Staves against the Just you are found in Cain with your Envy against the second Birth Abel you are found in Ishmael Scoffing at Isaac you are found to be the Beast and the Whore drinking of the Blood of the Saints that receive not your Mark So Killing Burning Hanging Racking Torturing and Imprisoning this hath been the work of the Church of Rome who is a Seditious Sect who are the Traytors Heady High-minded Self-willed Lovers of Pleasures more then Lovers of God For look upon your proud Prelates Cardinals Jesuits Pope with all his gorgious Robes these are the Wicked Arts which you have invented and are Masters of So its clear that all these Works be the Works of the flesh and of the Devil that bloody wicked Persecutor and not of the Birth born of the Spirit 2dly So I say Here it 's clear you are a Seditious Sect erred from the Faith that works by Love for if you were in that Catholique Faith which belongs to the Catholique Church which is universal you would not tell People of a Purgatory when they are dead for which you have no Scripture we Challenge you to bring a Scripture for it out of your own Bibles or Protestants either And so it is clear here by the second Proof you are erred from the Faith that works by Love that purifies the heart that gives Victory and Access to God by which Faith men please God which is the Fai●h of Gods Elect from this Faith which is Catholique from which the Church of Rome with his Company are erred and are found in the Enmity Madness Folly and Persecution who are Synagogues of Satan that Murderer whose works ye have done and are void of the Faith that works by love and purifies the heart therefore you must have a Purgatery as you say 3dly You are a Seditious Sect for you have transgressed the Command of Christ Jesus who saith Love one another Love Enemies and if any go from you you will hate them you will kill them and if others will not joyn to you you will burn them and destroy them this is the work of a seditious Sect and Hammon like that informed against the Jews that did not follow the National way and like those that informed against Daniel And so it is clear that you are a seditious Sect erred from the Command of Christ Jesus and cast it behind your Backs 4thly You are a Company of Lyars and a Seditious Sect for how can you love God whom you never see and hate your Brethren whom you see daily 5thly You are in the death of old Adam and in the power of death the Serpent who love not your Brother he that hateth his Brother abideth in Death 6thly You are a Seditious Sect for you have persecuted people about Meats Drinks Cloths and outward Crosses your Crucifixes your Bread and Wine and Holy-dayes your eating of Flesh and Fish and Marriages which the Kingdom of God stands not in not Meats nor Drinks nor Dayes but in Righteousness in Peace and Joy in the Holy Ghost and so out of the Power of God our of this Righteousness are you all a sedititiou● Sect and are found in those things the Kingdom of God stands not in and Persecuting and Murdering such as will not observe your wills like to the Beast spoken of in the Revelation that with his Paw would pluck all under him and like the Dragon his Wrath is found in you against the true Woman the Church and they that have followed your Worship have followed the Dragons worship and the Beast and have not followed Christ Jesus nor the true Cath lique Church 7thly You
of Christ Jesus And how came he to be laid in the Grave and yet came after to shew the Apostles his Hands and Sides seeing they had eaten him and his Body was whole And the Apostle saith As often as you do eat this Bread and drink this Cup Was it an outward Cup they drunk or was there somewhat in the Cup Did they swollow an outward Cup Come interpret this and confute your selves And whereas thou bringest Faustus and Augustine and speakest scoffingly of the People of God called Quakers and call'st them Humming Speakers and shewest thy self to be of Ishmaels brood And you bring St. John Damascenus and a many such like Fathers of the Church which is nothing to the purpose but only to blind People that are ignorant withal to make them believe that your Bread and Wine is Christ after you have blessed it to keep your poor deceived people in ignorance But the Lord is taking off your Covers that your filthy Raggs may be seen and your ugly Images and Idols which have been set up by the Unclean spirit and spirit of Persecution And whereas thou layest down a Charge To know who was our first grand Speaker after Peter of our Religion I Answer He that was of Peter's Spirit which was of the Spirit of Christ Jesus which was the Seed of the Woman whom the Beast and your false Church the Whore hath drunk their Flood and made War against them that have kept the Testimony of ●es●●s that have seen all your works and actions and testifie against them with all the whole Train of Idolatry and Idols and Images that you have made an Idol of Bread and Wine and now the Seed is rising and the Witness that will make your earth to quake and Christ says Learn of Me he was the first Speaker to us called Quakers This is my beloved Son hear ye him saith God So I tell thee he was our first Speaker and he hath given us his Spirit that leads into all Truth that hath taught us the Way to life and Salvation and he is the Rock of Ages and not Peter and the Foundation of many Generations and is the same to day as he was yesterday and so forever and he hath been our Leader our Prophet our Shepherd our Priest our Bishop our Councellor our Minister our Preacher whom God hath anointed to Preach that Preacheth Life Light and Salvation So we come to obey his Doctrine and do his Will and we shall know his Doctrine if in doing the same you will know our first Preacher you must come to the Light to see him which will condemn all the Images and Idols and condemn your christ and godd that you make of bread and wine and condemn your head and church too And whereas thou speakest Scoffingly Of the Church of God being Smothered under a Cloud We say to these Mockers and to this Seditious Sect That the Church hath been in the Wilderness there fed of God Forty and Two Moneths One Thousand Two Hundred and Threescore Dayes which is a Time and Times and half a Time so count you a day for a year and then you may reckon your selves how long your false church the Mother of Harlots hath been on the back of the Beast whom the Devil the Dragon gives power to and the year when the Woman the true Church is coming-out of the Wilderness who hath been fed of God God hath been her Feeder which indeed you with the Dragons power would have smothered Her as under a Cloud or a Tubb but the Earth helped Her and she was preserved in the Wilderness where you could not find her though you went with Judas his Swords Staves and Lanthorns your band of Soulaiers from your counterfeit Head But I tell you She was fed of God in the Wilderness Ferty two Moneths and reckon this and then you may see how long the false church and the whore and the beast hath reigned and when she comes out of the Wilderness again Then we Challenge you To tell us how many Martyrs Prophets and Saints the beast and whore the false church that sate upon the Beast in the Dragons power how much of their Flood have they drunk to wit the Blood of the Saints and Martyrs of Jesus And so by this time thou wilt see the coming in of the False church the where and the going into the Wilderness of the true Church the Down-fall of the Beast and of the Whore for if thou canst count the number of the true Church that comes out of the Wilderness thou wilt know the number of your false The Scriptures we own we do contend against your filthy Raggs of your Heresie which we deny and will not put on for we have a better Garment which is the Fine Linnen which is the Righteousness of the Saints THe Ingenious Reader hath read your Paper and here is somewhat in Answer to it and finds it a confused piece of Nonsence and Toutologies and Contradictions and if all the Forefathers and these that thou hast quoted be as dark as you are they are in that which is Darkness it self and ignorant of the Scripture and of Christ and the Apostles Doctrine and Spirit and Power and Faith and are seperated and degenerated from it to wit the Spirit of God You are all judged you and your Forefathers together with your Works your Images and are in the spirit of Persecution the first birth of the Flesh of Hagar that is cast out and and not the Bride of the Lambs Wife nor the true Spouse of Christ Jesus which is coming forth of the Wilderness Halelujah Postscript IN Matt. 26 Christ said Take the Cup and said Drink ye all of it Now was it an outward Cup that the Dissciples did drink or something in the Cup Then you do interpret this wrong for it was not the Cup they did drink And then you must interpret that Scripture This is my Body and Christ brake the outward Bread then did Christ break his own Body and give it to his Disciples before he suffered and did they eat it then What Body had Christ to offer upon the Cross for the Sins of the People if that the Apopostles had eaten it And Christ doth not say The Wine which was called the Blood of the New Testament was the New Testament And Mark 14. and Luke 22. Christ brake the Bread and gave it to his Disciples And did he break his Body that suffered upon the Cross for Mankind No His Body was whole then And he took the Bread and brake it and gave it to the Disciples and they did eat it For if that outward Wine was his Blood and the Bread his Body then his Blood and Body was eaten and drunk before he suffered and if his Disciples had eaten his Body and drunk his Blood then they had eaten Christ and then there had been no Offering on the Cross for the Sins of Mankind according to your Assertion And in M●tt
