reasonable and sinful be reasonable both then they are one in unity The Lord will take the soul for an offering for sin doth the Lord take that which is sinful for an offerring Isai 53. see how thou and the Prophet agrees here But what is that soul that the wicked is not able to kill is it not that which God hath in his hand and this is a lye to say that which is reasonable is sinful of one that puts light for darknesse God breathed into man the breath of life and he became a living soul who hath all souls in his hand and the soul is immortal and Christ the Bishop of it is immortal and God hath it in his hand which goeth against him that doeth evil whose hand is immortal but man transgressing against the commands of God the soul lies in death so Christ is the Bishop of the souls so they that came to know Christ their souls rejoyce in God their Saviour Luke 1. Pr. That the evil Spirits are both sinfull and reasonable Answ This is a lie for reasonable is not sinful and unreasonable is sinful 2 Thes 3. they have not the faith and if the evil Spirit be reasonable and the good reasonable they are both one who then is unreasonable If the evil Spirit be reasonable thou pots no difference between the precious and the vile thou hast the Mark of a blind guide and a false Prophet in thy so ehead Pr. That one of them Quakers is worse then the Devil A. This is a lie with his strange wonder for there is nothing worse then the Devil whose children you are for when he speaks a lie he speakes of himself and he is the Father of it Henry Foreside Priest of Lingiah in Dunbarton shire His Doctrine and PRINCIPLES Pr. THat God commands all every where to repent to the end that they should not have it to say but they were warned but not that he would give them grace to repent Answ Here thou makes God that he does not intend that he speaks and so thou would make him unrighteous though the Lord commands all men every where to repent Acts 17.30 who hath made all Nations of men of one blood to dwell upon the Earth and all being concluded under sin and unbelief that he might have mercy upon all Rom. 3.9 For both Jewes and Gentiles all were under sin and none of them did good no not one And Gods intent is that when he calls men to repentance they should repent when he calls them and many did repent and you are not fit men to be Ministers of Christ or God Now if God command all men every where to Repent and as thou sayst does not intend they should Repent thou and you go about to make God unjust First the Lord he desireth not the death of a sinner but that he should turn from his wickednesse and live Exod. 33.11 Now in the turning from his wickednesse he lives but in going on in his wickednesse he dies so Repentance was Preached from dead works to serve the living God Heb. 6.1 Christ came to call finners to Repentance not the Righteous for the whole needs not the Physitian but to the sick Mat. 9.12 13. And as for saying God did not intend to give them grace though he calls them to repentance That is a lie unrighteous doctrine for the grace of God hath appeared to all men which brings Salvation Titus 2.11 and so as he calls them to repentance he gives them grace that grace which brings salvation which men are justified by so it is saving grace that brings salvation and teacheth to deny ungodlinesse Now they that live ungodly turnes the grace of God into wantonnesse Jude 4. and these are the wells without water in Cains way Balaams way and Cores way Jude 11. speaks the high words in hypocrisie and these are they that separate themselves from the Apostles sensual having not the Spirit Jude 19. and are of old ordained to condemnation who separated from the light which turnes the grace of God into wantonnesse so these are they that neglect the common salvation it was the charge of the Apostle to Timothy before his decease 1 Tim. 4.2 2 Tim. 4.7 Then told him perillous times should come and Doctrines of Devils and men speaking lies in hypocrisie he said unto them that they should trust in the living God who is the Saviour of all men and especially of them that believe 1 Tim. 4.10 But the Devils Doctrine leads them from their Saviour and from the grace 2 Tim. 4.1 And they that are not in the Doctrine are from the light which Christ hath inlightned them withall John 1.9 And have turned the grace of God into wantonnesse and pernitious wayes and drawes others from it and we do conclude that to be the Doctrine of Devils which sayes God calls all men to repent and intends not to give them grace nor would not have them to repent as thou Henry Foreside doth say for it was the charge of the Apostle to Titus to speak sound words and sound Doctrine and could not be condemned Titus 2. and told him that the grace of God which brings salvation had appeared to all men which taught them to deny ungodlinesse and worldly lust and to live godly soberly and righteously in this present evill world these things speak and exhort with all authority Tit. 1. But as I said before ungodly men that turn the grace of God into wantonnesse are of old ordained to this condemnation and this the is condemnation of the world that light is come into the World and men love darknesse rather then light because their deeds are evill John 3.19 he that loves the light the light is his Saviour but he that hates the light it is his condemnation Pr. That the two parts of the Church must be prophane and godless Ans The Church is the Pillar and ground of truth 1 Tim. 3.15 The Church of the living God for the ungodly are out of its grounds and that which is ungodly the pillar and ground of truth there is no ungodly in it and the Church is without wrinkle or spot holy without blemish Eph. 5.27 and the Church is in God 1 Thes 1.1 That which is in God is in the light and out of the ungodly Pr. That God before the world was had ordained one little part of the people for eternal life that sin or do all the evil they could they could not loose that which was ordained for them Ans Here thou goest about to make Christ a lyar for he that commits sin is the servant of sin 1 Joh 3.8 saith He that commits sin is of the Devil saith the Apostle and thou wouldst make God partial and hast taught a Doctrine contrary to the Scriptures For God is no respecter of persons Rom. 2.11 Who will give to every one a reward according to their works Psal 62.12 And he that works iniquity must depart cursed from Christ
out and such turn the grace of God into wantonness and are ordained of old that hate the light which lighteth every man that cometh into the world and such be in Cain Balaams way persecutors and murtherers and turns the grace of God into wantonness Pr. From the words of Jude 4. they were of old ordained from these words he said That God had predestinated one to life without any cause in the creature lesse or more and the other wicked man to Hell without any cause in the creature lesse or more and both wicked men And before thou said part of the cause that God cast into hell was in the man and part in God In this seventh principle and doctrine thou saiest there is no cause in the creature that God cast into hell and condemns him and in the other thou said there were part blame in man and part in God and here is the Devils Doctrine a lie found in thy mouth and thou hast wrested perverted and wronged that Scripture in Jude who saith their is no part in man causeth condemnation that all may see you are lyars he saith they were ungodly they turned the grace of God into laciviousness that brings salvation that denyed the Lord that bought them Jude 11. 2 Pet. 2.1 They were covetous made merchandize of the people through fained words so no covetous nor Idolater shall enter into the Kingdome of God 1 Cor. 6.9 and all they deny the Lord that bought them but who owns the light that comes from him which doth enlighten every man that comes into the world and none sees him but with the light that comes from him and they goe in Cores way and gain-sayeth the truth who goe from the light that Christ hath enlightned them in the particular and he that gain-sayeth the truth there is a fault in him and they goe in Cains way that are from the command of God who said if thou dost well shalt thou not be accepted and if he did not well fin lay at the door now these were of old ordained unto condemnation which turned the grace of God into wantonnesse were in Cains way Cores way and brake the commands as Cain did in Balaams way erred from the spirit and admired mens persons because of advantage which Balaam did and loved the wages of unrighteousnes and so these did not do the things they were commanded Cain he did not doe the thing that he was commanded nor Core that offered strange fire and his company Num. 16. So these of old were ordained for this condemnation which condemnation is the light Io. 3. light foresees them and sees over them and condemns them when they arise and goes out from the spirit of God in them and here all may see here was fault worthy of condemnation and those were they that sensually separated themselves from the Apostles and had not the spirit Jude 19 in their dayes which were covetous which went for the gift and reward which were like raging waves of the Sea which were spots in feasts of charity feasting feeding without fear 2 Pet. 2. Which admired mens persons because of advantage and spoke the high words in hypocrisy Wells without water Trees without fruit raging waves of the Sea foming out their own shame clouds without water carryed about with tempests spots in the feasts of charity like unto Sodom and Gomorah in filthiness which goe from the light that does convince them so there is the self separation and their is the condemnation that comes over them the light and these are they that separated from the Apostles which said love your enemies Mat. 5.44 Which are men gone into the world which be in Cains way in envy in Cores way gain-saying the light they are like raging waves of the Sea foming out their shame in their pulpits so you are the men that separates from the Apostles that be in Cains way who be out of the life and sacrifice the Saints were in that would murther and Cores way that gain-sayeth the light that doth enlighten every man that cometh into the world so against the common salvation and ye be like Cain foming and raging in your Pulpits and would murther all that are contrary to you whose Sacrifice God acceptes yours he does not God would have accepted of Cain if he had done well Gen. 4. So God is merciful a just God but Cain he did not well therefore wo went out from God against him and so there was fault in him not in God which was the cause of his condemnation so you that be in Balaams way for the wages of unrighteousness admiring mens persons because of advantage Ye are out of the faith that is held without respect of persons Iam. 2. and so separated from the Apostles to whom Christ said Freely ye have received freely give and you will not give freely who are rageing and foming without you have augmentations stipends gleabe Lands or Tythes great sums of money gifts of rewards from great houses so you deny the light that enlighteneth every man that cometh into the would so gain-sayes the common salvation Jude 1. You gain-say the truth that doth enlighten every man that cometh into the world so in Cores way you are and would have the persons of the Saints murthered so in Cains way as ye confess that ye have not the spirit that gave forth the Scriptures so in the self separation and ye deny the light that enlighteneth every man that cometh into the world which is the Lord John 8.12 And so denies the Lord that bought you 2 Pet. 2.1 And so are for condemnation who are of that flock that separate themselves from the Apostles sensually having not the spirit who are in Cains way that would kill and murther and out of the Apostles way who said love your enemies who are in Balaams way for gifts and rewards and admiring mens persons because of advantage to them speaking high words in hypocrisy and out of the Apostles way to whom Christ said Freely ye have received freely give Mat. 10.6 And out of the Prophets way who said come without a price Isa 55.1 2. And ye will have the price or else you will not come let all that can read Iude over and see if their was not cause in man of his condemnation and not in God and so have not you proved your selves in the Doctrine of Devils and in lyes and would make God unrighteous and the Apostles unrighteous for their was fault in Cain fault in Balaam and fault in Core and fault in Sodome and fault in them that turned the grace of God into wantonnesse which were of old ordained for this condemnation Iude 4. which condemnation is that light is come into the world and men love darknesse rather then light because their deeds are evil and so the Apostles taught that their was fault in man as ye may read Iude and thou hast taught there is none so then thou
Apostles departed from thence where he gave them command to stay so see thy Doctri●e is damnable and thou errs from the Scriptures let thy-mouth for ever be stopped and are not ye found in the steps of them Matth. 23. that Christ gives the mark of blind-guides to the multitude unto the Disciples which marks were such as the multitude might take notice of and I beleeve the multitude will take notice of and know you first ye bind heavy burthens upon mens shoulders ye are sayers and not doers and all their works they do to be seen of men Matth. 6. they love the uppermost rooms at feasts and the chiefest seats in the Assemblies greeting in the Markets stands praying in the Synagogues called of men Masters they were swearers they should scourge you in their Synagogues and persecute do not ye put out of your Synagogues Christ should send Prophets and wise men among them and they should persecute and put out of the Synagogues Mat. 23.34 They should shut up the Kingdom of Heaven against men and do not ye do so that do deny the light that lighteth every one that cometh into the world do any come to the Kingdome but who come to the light which every man that cometh into the world is enlightned withal may not the multitude take notice of these things called of men Master stand praying in the Synagogues having long Robes salutations in the Markets uppermost rooms at feasts puts out of the Synagogues and swearers and Christ said swear not at all Mat. 5.34 And be ye not called of men Master for one is your Master even Christ and ye all are Brethren now here is the marks of the blind guides as ye may read Matth. 23. Are they not a company of Swearers and will they not swear for their own advantage and were not the Priests always envious and false accusers provoking the Magistrates against the Disciples against Christ and against Jesus did not the Priests say Jesus should die for crying against them Jer. 26. And were not the Priests at work when any of the Saints were murthered to stir up the multitude against them or the Magistrates Was not the chief Priests and Elders seeking false witness 〈◊〉 out Jesus to death Mat. 26.39 And did not the High Priests say he had spoken blasphemy it was Pilate that put him to death did not the chief Priests perswade their multitude to ask Barrabbas Matth. 27.20 and crucifie Jesus and did not they mock him See how the Priests were alwayes busie for blood that all the righteous blood might come upon them shed upon the earth Matth. 23.35 And did not the Priests give money to Judas to betray Christ and did not the Priests give large money to the Souldiers to tell a lie and say his Disciples stole him away by night Matth. 28.11 12 13. had not Paul authority from the High Priest to persecute Acts 9.1 2. and so get you your Authority from the Magistrates and the people their Authority from you to persecute and would not the chief Priests have murthered Paul afterwards when he was converted Acts 23. Acts 2.7 Did not a company come with swords and staves from the Priests with Judas to take Christ Mark 14.13 as a troop of Robbers wait for a man so doth a company of Priests murther in the way by consent and have not ye consented together Hos 6.2 Pr. That Christ scorned men when he bad them be persect because he knew it was impossible for them Answ This is wickedness and impudency to say Christ scorned men when he bad them be perfect This is Antichrist and the Devils Doctrine for to say that Christ did command that which men should not come to for Christ nor God commanded nothing but what should be attained unto and it will be attained unto and hath been attained unto Christ said Be perfect as your heavenly Father is perfect Mat. 5.4 he knew that they might be perfect if they come into the Kingdom of God for there no unperfect thing must enter Rev. 21. and so he did speak that which he knew people should come into but they should come into it if ever they came into the Kingdome of God what is this to thee which cannot love enemies for they that love enemies shall know perfection and perfect love and patience have its perfect work Jam. 1.4 the Apostles speak wisdome to them that were perfect but not the worlds wisdome which comes to nothing 1 Cor. 2.6 and the work of the Ministry was for the perfecting of the Saints till they all come into the unity of the faith unto the knowledge of the Son of God unto a perfect man and unto the measure and stature and fulness of Christ Eph. 4. and they should not be any more tossed to and fro with the windy Doctrines of men nor cunning craftiness wherewith they lie in wait to deceive and there art thou tossed up and down with every wind and far off the work of the ministry when thou saist blasphemously Christ scorned men when he bad them be perfect Christ did not scorne them but thy doctrine it is imperfect and thou and you that transgress and abide not in the doctrine of Christ thou and you are Anti-christs as ye may read 2 John 9.10 Pr. When it was asked him of the words that Peter spake of concerning them that brought in damnable Heresies and denyed the Lord that bought them he said they did but think the Lord had bought them but they were not bought but they thought they had been so Ans Here thou again with thy damnable Doctrine dost go about to make Peter and Jude lyars who speaks contrary to scripture and perverts their Doctrine and the words of Peter are thus even denying the Lord that bought them 2 Pet. 2.1 and the words of Jude 4. denying the onely Lord God and our Lord Jesus Christ and thou saist the Lord had not bought them but they thought he had bought them wo and misery man will be thy portion that thou should so wickedly pervert the Apostles Doctrine and Scripture Acts 13.10 and bring in such damnable Doctrine and devilish Doctrine and speaks such lies in hypocrisy whose conscience is seared with a hot Iron 1 Tim. 4. it is time for people to turne away from you who have so long deceived them Pr. Concerning these words of Ezek. 18.28 If the righteous man turn away from his righteousness his former righteousness shall be no more remembred and he said the meaning of that scripture was they thought they had been righteous but they were not but supposed it had been so Answ Here in this thou art a minister of unrighteousness thou goest about to make God a lyar and the Prophets and perverts the scriptures for if he forsakes his righteousnesse and commits sin and iniquity and trespasses he shall die and not live in the righteousnesse but if he forsake his sin trespasses and transgressions in the righteousnesse that he
hath done and doth he shall live so Gods wayes are equal Ezek. 18. And thou sayest they thought they had been righteous but it was not so And the Lord by the Prophet saith it was so that they should live in their righteousnesse and dye if they depart from it and transgressed here thou art a diminisher from the Prophets and Apostles words whose name is diminished out of the book of life read Rev. 22.19 Pr. He denyed that Christ dyed for all men but for the Elect. Answ Contrary to Johns Doctrine who saith he is the propitiation for our sins and not for our sins onely but for the the sins of the whole world 1 John 2.2 and so it is the unbeliever that is shut out and not believing in the light that men are enlightened withall with which light they might see the one offering who tasted death for every man Heb. 2.9 and doth enlighten every man that cometh into the world that all through him might believe and they that believe not in the light are condemned Joh. 3.18 but believing in the light shall come out of condemnation and he is the Saviour of all men but especially of them that believe 1 Tim. 4.10 and the grace of God which brings salvation hath appeared to all men which was the saints Teacher Titus 2.11 12. and they that turn it into wantonnesse shall with it be condemned Jude 4. and they that set up a heap of teachers 2 Tim. 4.3 after their own lusts and went out from the Apostles doctrine before the Apostles decease 1 John 2.19 and have turned the grace of God that brings salvation into wantonnesse ever since and saith it hath not appeared unto all men which brings salvation which is saving grace and Christ Jesus doth enlighten every man that cometh into the world that they might believe and walke after him and saith they that follow him shall not abide in darknesse but shall become the children of light and have the light of life John 8.12 Now say they that hate the light it is not sufficient it is not a saving light but they shall find it sufficient to condemme them and their unbeliefe for not believing in it for believing in it they come to have the light of life John 8.12 and John 12.36 Pr. He being asked who were hirelings if they were not that did take hire his answer was they were hirelings that did not take hire and to prove it he brought that scripture in Philipians of them that preached Christ of envy and strife Answ Now all may see what doctrine he brings to pervert or rest the scriptures Philip. 1.15 to prove them hirelings that do not take hire that in the Philipians doth not prove that they were hirelings neither did they take hire so that for his purpose makes nothing though for this purpose he brings that scripture but that his folly and darknesse might appeare and be made manifest by the light for now to it his deeds are come who is unfit to talke of the scripture Pr. He said it was the cleare mark of the Devil to go up and down from place to place to preach as the Quakers doe Answ Now here in this he may charge all the prophets Christ and his Apostles which went up and downe from place to place Heb. 11. that this is the marke of the Devill but this is too manifest to bring to light and discover the Presbyterian Priests of Scotland who lies in Dens and Corners and fat benefits and there stick in the earth and are crept into houses who say it is the Devills marke to go up and downe to preach but this is that they may manifest themselves to be judged by the practice of Christ and his Apostles that their folly might appear unto all men Luke 9.5.8 Heb. 11. likewise the Presbyterian Priest are turned like ranters who saith whatsoever man doth God hath a hand in doing of it whether Good or Evil if a man commit never so much sinne and live never so wickedly he shall go to Heaven if he be ordained there to come how was God greived when David sinned the Lord was angry the Lord was wrath when the children of Israel sinned against him it greived the Lord that he had made man when all flesh had corrupted his way Gen. 6.6 and thou and you go about to make God the author of sin and saith God hath a hand in it whatsoever a man doth here again you and thou be in the doctrines of Devils what shall we say that God is the author of sin God forbid Rom. 6. they that transgresse the commandments of God provoke him to anger and though God created the evil Isa 49.7 yet his commandments was to man that he should not go into it Gen. 2.17 Gen. 4.7 Ezek. 18. but when he did he transgressed the command of God so he who saith if ye murther God is the author of it if ye persecute God is the author of it if ye do unrighteously God is the author of it you that murther persecute and do not righteously are of him that kept not the command of God of whom ye are Joh. 44. that would persecute and murther thou art gone out of the command of God and joyned with the Devil 1 John 3.8 that went out of the truth the Devil he went out of his estate and the woman hearkned to him and went out of her estate and man to the woman Gen. 3. The Jews went out of their state when they persecuted Mat. 27.25 Cain went out of his state when he murthered Gen. 4. The Christians went out of their estate fince the daies of persecution who had the name of Christianity Cain went out of his state when he murthered and Balaam went out of his state when he coveted the wages of unrighteousness and admired mens persons Numb 22. Jude 11. Core went out of his state when he gain-said the truth Num. 16. Jude 11. the false Prophet and the Antichrist which is the Beast and the mother of Harlots went forth from the state of the Apostles 1 John 2.19 which hath been fince the daies of the Apostles and so all wars and fightings and adversaries is because of being out of the truth fallen out of it James 4. there is pride and Lucifer Isai 14. and that is it that is of old ordained to condemnation Jude 4. and to be kept down and to be condemned everlastingly and there the time that shall be witnessed fit for the fire and Death and Hell and the false Prophet and the Dragon and the Serpent cast into it Rev. 20.14 but leaven is known that leavens into the new lump 1 Cor. 5.7 the everlasting fire that burns for ever Mark 9.46 how are the professions formes and religions fallen from the state and lost the state and out of the state that Christ was in the Prophets were in Abraham was in David was in Moses and the Apostles was in and remains in a form of their
Scripture 1 Pet. 4.11 Thirdly For that he said I would not forsake the company of Seducers and Hereticks I answered that way thou calls Heresie worship I the Eternall God and this is according to plain Scripture Acts 24.14 And it saith Keep company with them that calls upon God out of a pure heart 2 Tim. 2.22 And I know they are the people therefore thou denies the Scripture and I obey it for I witnesse that Scripture to be fulfilled Isay 24.5 they have transgressed the lawes changed the ordinances and broken the everlasting Covenant I being gone from home about my outward occasions the Priest excommunicated me knowing that I was not there to answer him and he charged all people to have no dealing in the outward with me when I came home the people stood at a distance from me so I went to him that I might have the first dealing with himself and paid him some money that my husband owned him and he received it from my hand then I askt him the cause why he bid the people have no dealings with me yet he himself was the first but all his answer was saying to his man put her to the dore then I asked what evill I had done or wherein I had offended so I being speaking to the people shewing them how he was out of the moderation and out of the bonds of Christian practtice as I did speak he cryed the more put her to the door although I had paid for apart of the house building and so had an interest in it then I told him he was out of the practice of the ministers of Christ and also out of all moderation After that he caused a man to make repentance in his Congregation for selling me two pecks of Lint Seeds And soone after the Priest himself came to me to borrow a book which I lent him then I asked him why he made the man make repentance for that which he himself did practice he replyed it was for eating and drinking with me for he said The Scripture forbids to eat and drink with an excommunicated person but I said the Scripture saith The Drunkard the Fornicator the Extortioner the Covetous and the Idolater with such a one eat not I asked him if I was such a one he said I neither can nor will say so of you but I could be content you should live beside me all dayes of my life without excommunicating you if the Presbytery would suffer me and so is judged out of his own mouth to act contrary to his Conscience and to be a man-pleaser Afterwards he preached lies to the people saying That the Quakers received money from the Pope of Rome and said that was the cause that so many went from their Church then I and several Friends went to taxe him for his lye but he hid himself so that he would not come to us so is found a worker of darkness out of the Light of Christ The Causes laid down by the Priests why they excommunicated Friends THe Cause why they excommunicated William Osburne is this Because he declared the Ministers of Scotland Enemies to Christs Kingdome and Gospel which are blood-thirsty men and bore his Testimony against one of them which by violence the Priests were placing in his Land whose name is William Sterling they put him violently out of his own ground and for these reasons excommunicated him Lewis Simerel Priest of New Monkeland for these Reasons viz. Because Margaret Hambleton denied the power of their Presbiter Secondly Because she would not forsake the company of the people of God whom they call Quakers Seducers and Hereticks and also for denying their Ordinances which are by their own wills therefore they excommunicated her James Nesmith Priest of Hambleton excommunicated John Huchison and would give him no reasons for what he did it neither is there any known except it be for owning the people of God called Quakers John Hume Priest of Lesmahagow and William Simerel Priest of Petenace with the rest of the Presbytery at Lannerick did excommunicate George Weare because he harboured the Quakers and for the denying the power of their Presbytery and after they had excommunicated him Robert Semple Priest of that Parish viz. Lesmahagow sent Andrew Clealand Constable to tell George Wear if he would give satisfaction to the Kirk they would receive him in again upon easie terms c. George Wear said because they could not shew him the way to God which his soul breathed after who had been long enough under them he could not own them and when the Constable told the Priest what he had said the Priest said If it be so with him yet I protest to God we will make him Winter and Summer without William Mitchel John Mitchel Robert Tod Mary English Elizabeth Lappey Marian Mitchel did Peter Kid Priest of Douglass with the rest of the Presbytery of Lannerick did excommunicate them for these reasons as followeth 1. Priest You teach that every man and woman gets sufficient light from Christ Ans Which is according to Johns Doctrine Joh. 1.9 who saith Christ hath lightned every one that cometh into the world which light is sufficient to as many as beleeve in it 2. Pr You cry down Ministers and say there is no need of preaching Ans Not of envious murderers blood-thirsters covetous hirelings 3 Pr. You destroy the Communion of the body and blood of the Lord signified and represented by Bread and Wine Ans We which have the substance have the end of the shadow and the communion is the end of the shadow and of that which is for memory and shewes which is not the body in which body is the unity Pr. 4. You say that the children of God have no sin in this life and teach so Ans The Scripture says he that is born of God doth not fin and is he not a child of God Pr. 5. You say and teach that the light that Christ gives to every one is perfect and so bids them follow the light that is within them Ans Which is according to Christs Doctrine Joh. the 1. and John the 3. and 2 Cor. 4. 6. Pr. You deny Matthew Mark Luke and John to be the Gospel Ans The Scripture says the Gospel is the power of God Rom. 1. 7. Pr. You deny Baptisme in the Church to be a seal of his Covenant and cry down that Ans Because there is no Scripture for sprinkling of Infants but Baptisme we own 8. Pr. You deny the Lords Day and would have it taken out of the world though it be set apart in Scripture for the Divine Worship Ans All days are owned to be the Lords who is worshipped in Spirit which we own 9. Pr. You go abroad and trouble people in in the worship of God Ans We do not trouble them that worship God in Spirit but will-worshippers who are in their persecuting fained humility Also Thomas Jack Gabriel Hood James Cook Jannet Hambleton Gawine Scevenson
