THE DEVIL turned QUAKER OR The Damnable Divellish and accursed Doctrines and Designes of these desperate deluded and deluding people called QUAKERS Their damnable Opinions and horrid Blasphemies touching the Person and Deity of our blessed Lord and Saviour JESUS CHRIST ESPECIALLY The Divelish Practices and accursed Blasphemies and Opinions of one JAMES NEYLER a Ring leader of that Sect Who blasphemously declared himself to be GOD and was publikely worshipped as God by his wicked Disciples at BRISTOL who now lye in Prison to receive the reward due unto them for the same MATTH 24. 23. There shall arise false Christs and false Prophets and shall shew great Signes and Wonders but saith our Saviour beleeve them not JUDE 17 18. Remember the words which were spoken before of the Apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ how they told you there should be Mockers in the last times c. London Printed for John Andrews at the White Lion in the Old Baily 1656. The Devil turn'd Quaker 1 JOH 4. 1 2 3. Beloved beleeve not every spirit but try the spirits whether they are of God because many false Prophets are gone out into the world Hereby know we the Spirit of God every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God and every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God And this is that spirit of Antichrist whereof you have heard that it should come and even now according it is come IN the last dayes saith the Apostle 2 Tim. 3. Perilous times shall come for men shall be lovers of their own selves covetous boasters blasphemers disobedient to parents unthankful unholy without natural affection truce-breakers false accusers incontinent fierce despisers of those that are good traitors heady high-minded lovers of pleasures more then lovers of God having a form of godliness but denying the power thereof From such saith the Apostle in the fifth verse Turn away And that we may the better discern and avoid these seducers the Apostle sets them out unto us as well in their pre●ences and outward actions and carriages as by their inward principles and corruptions as you may see in the sixth seventh and eighth verses Of this sort saith he are they that creep into Houses and lead captive silly Women laden with sins led away with divers lusts ever learning and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth In the fix first Verses of this Chapter the Apostle setteth forth unto us the practises of these ungodly sinners and that men might be fore-arm'd against these seducers he tels us at the sixt Verse how we should know them Of this sort saith he are they that creep into Houses and lead captive silly Women Now as Iames and Iambris withstood Moses so do these resist the Truth Men of corrupt mindes reproba●e concerning the faith But in the ninth Verse saith the Apostle They shall proceed no further for their folly shall be manifest unto all men Now according to this method of the Apostle shall I proceed in setting forth unto you the corrupt horrid and blasphemous practices of these ungodly and irreligious sinners of our times known by the name of QUAKERS First I shall discover unto you by the Lords assistance their horrid and of all good Christians to be abhorred practices and opinions In the next place I shall endeavour God willing to set forth unto you the Blasphemies and accursed delusions of these monsters of men and enemies of all righteousness the QUAKERS a generation of Vipers of late by the power of Satan sprung up amongst us Having done this I shall by Gods assistance give you some few motives and encouragements to perswade you in the fear of the Lord to beware of these wicked ones whom the Lord I hope will ere long consume with the breath of his nosthrils and suddenly scatter them in his wrath like a mighty Whirle-winde Beware of false Prophets saith our Saviour And then lastly having discovered unto you the folly and madness of these Seducers I shall conclude all in a word of advice to all those that fear the Lord in these three Nations to beware of these wicked and ungodly men As the Apostle perswades in the second Epistle of Peter and the third Chapter Having before described such a generation of wicked ones as they are in the seventeenth verse he concludes all with heavenly advice and admonition to all that desire to fear the Lord Ye therefore beloved saith the Apostle seeing you know these things before beware lest ye also being led away with the errour of the wicked fall from your own stedfastness but grow in grace and in the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour JESUS CHRIST And now I begin with the first The horrid and accursed Principles of these wicked men First they do blasphemously deny God and our Saviour Jesus Christ who is God blessed for ever impiously and blasphemously saying God is in them and the Light within them is God when indeed there is no light at all in them but darkness As the Psalmist saith Their very inward thoughts are darkness and blindness of minde who being past feeling as the Apostle saith Have given themselves over to lasciviousness to commit all uncleanness with greediness It s the Devil that is in them and not God the Devil he deludes them and he reigns and rules in these Children of disobedience they are of their father the Devil and his instruments they are to delude and destroy both their own and other mens souls Secondly they deny the blessed word of God and despise it tearing it in peices and refusing to walk according to the rule of it saying They have the Word within them and that there is no need of any other Word they have it remembred to them by the Spirit And this also is a delusion of the Devil for as the Apostle saith Tim. 3. 16. All Scripture is given by inspiration and is profitable for Doctrine and for Instruction that the men of God may be perfect So likewise 2 Pet. the first Chapter and last Verse Ye have have a more sure word of Prophesie whereunto ye do well to take heed as unto a light that shineth in dark places Thirdly they are loose and lascivious in their lives and conversations despising both Ministry and Magistracy together with all humane Society presumptions are they as St. Iude saith in his Epistle They are not afraid to speak evil of Dignities walking according to the imaginations of their own base hearts the good Lord rebuke them and undeceive them Ungodly men they are as St. Iude saith Turning the grace of God into wantonness and denying the Lord God and our Saviour Jesus Christ leading captive silly Women laden with divers lusts going naked about the streets in a most odious and beastlike manner belching forth blasphemy against the great God of heaven saying They are commanded to do so Wels they are without water
