A87231 The Quakers quaking: or, the foundation of their deceit shaken, by scripture, reason, their own mouthes at several conferences. By all which will appear, that their quaking, ministery, doctrine, and lives, is a meer deceit, and themselves proved to be the great impostors of these latter times: / by Jeremiah Ives. Ives, Jeremiah, fl. 1653-1674. 1656 (1656) Wing I1103; Thomason E883_3; ESTC R207296 36,620 64

some_o in_o it_o but_o our_o lord_n christ_n though_o he_o do_v mighty_a work_n in_o corazin_n and_o bethsaida_n he_o say_v they_o repent_v not_o which_o very_a argument_n of_o you_o be_v so_o far_o

as_o for_o instance_n austin_n the_o monk_n who_o be_v send_v to_o the_o saxon_n by_o the_o bishop_n of_o rome_n convert_v 10000_o in_o a_o few_o day_n see_v speed_v chronicle_n pag._n 291_o sect._n

if_o he_o do_v follow_v it_o to_o what_o purpose_n do_v they_o preach_v one_o to_o another_o so_o that_o they_o have_v no_o cause_n to_o impute_v the_o convert_n of_o man_n to_o their_o ministry_n for_o they_o may_v convert_v without_o it_o the_o last_o argument_n to_o which_o i_o say_v little_a then_o by_o reason_n i_o be_v interrupt_v with_o their_o women-preacher_n be_v this_o viz._n that_o it_o do_v appear_v they_o be_v immediate_o send_v of_o god_n because_o they_o do_v not_o give_v respect_n to_o person_n i_o answer_v first_o then_o all_z the_o quaker_n both_o man_n and_o woman_n be_v

be_v not_o most_o noble_a for_o the_o scripture_n say_v not_o many_o noble_a be_v call_v by_o which_o it_o appear_v that_o some_o be_v more_o noble_a than_o other_o and_o have_v that_o respect_n

the_o people_n be_v meet_v and_o james_n nayler_n stand_v up_o to_o speak_v i_o do_v desire_v that_o james_n nayler_n will_v prove_v that_o which_o he_o have_v so_o often_o affert_v viz._n that_o every_o man_n in_o the_o world_n have_v the_o light_n within_o he_o speak_v of_o in_o john_n 1_o to_o this_o james_n nayler_n reply_v say_v that_o christ_n do_v inlighten_v every_o man_n that_o come_v into_o the_o world_n according_a to_o joh._n 1._o to_o this_o i_o answer_v that_o i_o do_v not_o oppose_v the_o say_n of_o that_o text_n but_o his_o say_n which_o be_v that_o every_o one_o in_o the_o world_n have_v the_o light_n within_o he_o speak_v of_o in_o that_o text._n to_o this_o james_n nayler_n reply_v say_v he_o will_v have_v i_o bring_v he_o a_o man_n in_o that_o place_n that_o will_v say_v the_o light_n of_o christ_n be_v not_o in_o he_o to_o this_o i_o do_v answer_v first_o that_o every_o man_n in_o the_o world_n be_v not_o in_o that_o place_n and_o therefore_o if_o every_o one_o in_o that_o place_n shall_v say_v this_o light_n be_v in_o they_o it_o do_v not_o follow_v that_o therefore_o that_o light_n speak_v of_o joh._n 1._o be_v in_o every_o one_o in_o the_o world_n but_o second_o i_o tell_v he_o that_o if_o every_o one_o in_o that_o place_n will_v say_v they_o have_v this_o light_n in_o they_o it_o do_v 〈…〉_o as_o i_o fear_v many_o of_o this_o generation_n do_v i_o do_v therefore_o bid_v james_n nayler_n to_o give_v i_o a_o scripture_n to_o prove_v that_o every_o one_o have_v the_o light_n within_o they_o speak_v of_o joh._n 1._o he_o answer_v that_o it_o be_v prove_v already_o in_o every_o man_n conscience_n but_o say_v he_o it_o be_v not_o evidence_v for_o if_o it_o be_v there_o will_v need_v no_o teach_v to_o this_o i_o reply_v that_o if_o it_o be_v prove_v to_o every_o man_n conscience_n than_o it_o be_v evidence_v for_o proof_n and_o evidence_n to_o the_o conscience_n be_v one_o and_o the_o same_o which_o he_o deny_v i_o further_o tell_v he_o that_o the_o conscience_n may_v be_v misguide_v and_o therefore_o it_o do_v not_o follow_v that_o a_o thing_n be_v therefore_o true_a because_o a_o man_n in_o conscience_n think_v it_o so_o i_o therefore_o as_o before_o call_v for_o a_o plain_a text_n for_o proof_n of_o what_o he_o say_v he_o thereupon_o bring_v eph._n 5.13_o 2_o cor._n 4.6_o i_o tell_v he_o neither_o of_o these_o scripture_n do_v prove_v that_o every_o man_n in_o the_o world_n have_v the_o light_n within_o he_o speak_v of_o joh._n 1._o and_o therefore_o if_o he_o have_v any_o scripture_n that_o say_v it_o he_o will_v do_v well_o to_o produce_v it_o and_o if_o not_o to_o forbear_v preach_v any_o such_o thing_n that_o he_o can_v show_v no_o scripture_n for_o hereupon_o james_n assume_v a_o apostolical_a authority_n and_o say_v that_o though_o there_o be_v no_o scripture_n that_o say_v what_o he_o say_v yet_o it_o may_v be_v true_a for_o say_v he_o the_o apostle_n say_v many_o thing_n that_o they_o have_v no_o scripture_n for_o to_o this_o i_o reply_v that_o he_o be_v no_o apostle_n and_o therefore_o as_o before_o call_v for_o a_o proof_n of_o this_o notion_n that_o they_o preach_v in_o most_o place_n where_o they_o come_v viz._n that_o everyone_o have_v this_o light_n within_o he_o he_o hereupon_o demand_v how_o christ_n be_v the_o light_n that_o light_v every_o one_o that_o come_v into_o the_o world_n if_o this_o light_n be_v not_o in_o every_o one_o to_o this_o i_o do_v answer_v as_o former_o that_o god_n and_o christ_n be_v usual_o say_v in_o scripture-dialect_n to_o do_v thing_n for_o the_o world_n when_o they_o do_v use_v a_o mean_n sufficient_a for_o the_o do_v of_o it_o and_o so_o christ_n be_v say_v to_o take_v away_o the_o sin_n of_o the_o world_n and_o to_o be_v the_o saviour_n of_o the_o world_n and_o the_o saviour_n of_o all_o man_n though_o all_o man_n shall_v not_o be_v save_v inasmuch_o as_o he_o have_v by_o his_o die_v for_o the_o world_n put_v all_o man_n into_o a_o salvable_a capacity_n in_o like_a manner_n he_o light_v every_o one_o that_o come_v into_o the_o world_n inasmuch_o as_o he_o use_v mean_n for_o the_o bring_v the_o world_n to_o the_o light_n though_o all_o have_v not_o this_o light_n within_o they_o again_o i_o tell_v james_n nayler_n that_o this_o light_n in_o joh._n 1._o be_v christ_n who_o be_v the_o light_n of_o the_o world_n and_o if_o every_o one_o have_v this_o light_n in_o they_o than_o every_o one_o have_v christ_n in_o they_o but_o i_o tell_v he_o that_o can_v not_o be_v because_o we_o read_v eph._n 2._o of_o some_o that_o be_v without_o christ_n i_o further_o tell_v he_o that_o the_o scripture_n tell_v we_o of_o some_o that_o have_v no_o light_n in_o they_o joh._n 11.10_o isa_n 8.20_o he_o answer_v that_o possible_o god_n have_v put_v out_o their_o light_n because_o they_o do_v not_o walk_v according_a to_o it_o to_o this_o i_o do_v reply_v that_o then_o he_o do_v contradict_v himself_o for_o if_o some_o have_v no_o light_n in_o they_o because_o god_n have_v put_v it_o out_o how_o can_v he_o say_v every_o one_o have_v this_o light_n in_o he_o but_o further_a the_o text_n in_o joh._n 11._o say_v that_o if_o a_o man_n walk_v in_o the_o dark_a he_o stumble_v because_o there_o be_v no_o light_n in_o he_o now_o i_o tell_v james_n nayler_n that_o those_o that_o he_o say_v he_o turn_v from_o darkness_n be_v such_o as_o walk_v in_o darkness_n by_o their_o own_o confession_n and_o if_o so_o then_o whether_o it_o be_v not_o better_a to_o say_v with_o the_o text_n there_o be_v no_o light_n

if_o the_o heathen_a have_v not_o a_o light_n i_o tell_v he_o first_o that_o they_o may_v have_v a_o light_n among_o they_o that_o they_o may_v not_o receive_v within_o they_o and_o second_o that_o
