Scriptures that Jesus was Christ is said MIGHTLY TO CONVINCE the Jews to which agrees Pauls direction to Timothy about Bishops signifying therein that he must be one able by SOUND DOCTRIN both to exhort and CONVINCE the gainsayers Tit. 1.1.9 according to which agrees the relation of the people dwelling at Jerusalem Act. 2.37 WHEN THEY HEARD THIS to with Peters powerfull preaching by the Spirit out of the Scriptures they were pricked at the heart thus was he a sower that went forth and went OUT to sow good seed into the hearts of men Luk. 8.5 but according to the sense of the Quaker the sower dwels in the ground the wicked world oh horrible confusion but it may be the Quaker will take some advantage because it is said a sower and not sowers but the wise will consider that there is no room in the least for an advantage against what here or elsewhere hath been said for by the parable of one lost sheep or one lost peece of silver Christ justifies his practice in companying with many Publicans and sinners Luk 15.1 2 4 8 therefore it follows not that Christ himself in men is the sower only though all is from him originally for the Apostles said 1 Cor. 9.11 WE have sown unto you spiritual things which they did in Christs STEAD 2 Cor. 5.20 Object Christ saith when the Spirit is come he shall reprove the World of sin of Righteousnesse and of judgement Joh. 16.8 Answ It is to bee observed that hee doth not say when hee is come in the World but having before verse 7. shewed the expediency of his going away said if I depart I will send him unto YOU that was his Disciples and when he is come that is to you for the World saith Christ CANNOT RECEIVE HIM Joh. 14.17 he shall reprove the World of sin by which Spirit when the Disciples had received it they went forth with all boldnesse and utterance plainly declaring the word of Truth perswading men OUT OF THE LAW OF MOSES AND OUT OF THE PROPHETS which was in Scripture from morning till evening Act. 28.23 with such power and wisdome as that the adversaries were not able to resist the Spirit by which THEY spake Act. 6.10 wherefore notwithstanding this objection I have not so learned Christ as to beleeve that the wicked hath this Spirit of promise dwelling in them when as Christ saith they CANNOT receive it what God may do by his Spirit for men at certain times especially where other means are wanting I here speak not against but against this conception of theirs viz. that the holy Spirit of God DWELS in all UNHOLY persons of the World as that which alone convinceth them of sin and of Righteousness Moreover saith Paul Rom. 3.20 by the Law is the KNOWLEDGE OF SIN yea that Law by the deeds of which no flesh shall be justified whereby the Apostle prevents the Quakers objection concerning his spirituall Law by which alone he saies men shall be justified and also saith Rom. 7.7 that he had not known sin but by the Law for saith he I had not known lust except the Law had said thou shalt not covet which Law he saith verse 6. they then were delivered from and verse 4. dead to James also being of the same Spirit told the Saints that in case they had respect to persons they would be by the Law the tenor of which was thou shalt not commit adultery thou shalt not kill CONVINCED as transgressors Jam. 2.9 10 11. yet saith Lawson the outward Law doth not convince man of sin and his reason is because Paul said that he was once alive without the Law not considering that persons in their childish and youthfull dayes which are vanity Eccles 11.10 may properly be said to bee without the Law though nurtured by them that have the Law whike they live in lusts coveting after every pleasant object of the eye not understanding the things of God but when the commandement comes to their understandings capable to comprehend such things then sin is revived and they dye and so remains till remission of sin is assured to them now in reference to those Gentiles that have not the written Law Paul saith that they HAVING NOT THE LAW marke that are a Law unto themselves which never was said to them or of them that had the written Law that is concerning such things as is held forth in the Law of Moses which saith the man that doth those things shall live by then Rom. 10.5 but the things relating to Faith in Christ we find was made known UNTO men by outward discoveries but something to this hath been already said The Quaker saith that the Scriptures are not a touchstone to try Spirits withall as saith Lawson in his book pa. 14. The summe of all concerning the Quakers esteem of the Scriptures is thus THEY OWN IT NOT A RULE WHEREBY THE WILL OF CHRIST MAY BE KNOWN NEITHER THAT WHICH SAINTS endued with the Spirit ARE TO PREACH FROM NEITHER THAT WHICH CONVINCETH OF SIN NEITHER THE TOUCHSTONE TO TRY SPIRITS WITHALL yet will they say that they own all the Scriptures from the beginning of Genesis unto the end of the Revelations but oh their shamefull deceit Now this last particular must needs be found short of truth because the Scriptures are found to be the rule now that which is the rule must needs be the tryer or touchstone to manifest unruly persons though it be true that there is a gift of the Spirit which discerns the unsound man yea by very slender appearances yet hereby is he not so to bee tryed as to be openly published and judged till some evident disobedience to the written Law and so by their fruits we must know them not he that saith Lord Lord or Light Light shall enter into the Kingdome but he that doth the will of the Father whose will is signified in the Scripture moreover when Christ had informed his Disciples of false Prophets and false Christs together with their works and sayings which should come hee said unto them take heed behold I have FORETOLD YOU ALL THINGS Mar. 13.23 ye that fear God consider how inexcusable we shall be found if when Christ hath so exprest his kindnesse in foretelling the danger and prescribing the manner of its appearance that we might escape it it I say we shall not take heed thereunto comparing the workings and sayings of men with this written Prophecy and so try the Spirits thereby have we not good ground to beleeve that these men are evilly disposed in that they refuse to come to the rule to be tryed what is not that to try men withall now which Christ will judge and try and judge men by in the last day the word that I have spoken saith Christ shall judge him in the last day Joh. 12.48 which word is witnessed to us in the Scripture but Lawson supposes this day to be now which is to try every mans work wherein the righteous

THE Deceived and deceiving Quakers DISCOVERED Their damnable Heresies horrid blasphemies mockings railings unparallel'd Deceit and Dishonesty laid open In the discovery of which is made known the pure use of the holy Scriptures which by them is denyed the true Christ and how he justifies his second coming proved not to be already as the Quaker affirms Also the Resurrection from the dead and the Eternal JUDGMENT and several other particulars that Saints are required to be stedfast in Set forth especially for the good of those that are called out of the World into the primitive order of the Gospel but may be usefull for all people By Matthew Caffyn a servant of the Lord related to the Church of Christ near Horsham in Suffex being an eye and ear-witnesse As wee have heard that Antichrist shall come even now are there many Antichrists whereby we cannot but know that this is the last of the last time Antichrist made known OR The Romish VVhore of Babylon proved not to bee the Antichrist or Man of Sin In seven particulars 1 Who is this great Whore of Babylon and where her chief Seat hath been and is 2 Her Fall and the means how and by whom 3 What is the spirit of Antichrist and who hath that spirit 4 That the Antichrist will bee a single person 5 The manner of his rising and when 6 Some of the great things hee will do 7 Lastly His Fall when and by whom By William Jeffery Servant of the Church of Christ. Entred into the Register book kept by the Company of Stationers LONDON Printed by R. I. for Francis Smith and are to bee sold at his shop in Flying-horse-Court in Fleet street neer Chansery-Lane 1656. To the Reader REader take notice that the hour is comming and now is that Satan in a more than ordinary manner doth transform himself into an Angel of Light and shape his Ministers into the similitudes of Ministers of Righteousnesse that so he may not only take faster hold of those that are already under his dominion and blind their minds lest the Light of the glorious Gospel of Jesus Christ should in the purity thereof shine unto them but also that hee may if possible deceive the very Elect and cause them that have escaped the pollutions of the World to bee again intangled therein and overcome Therefore those exhortations so often repeated in the Scripture to take heed watch and pray c. are of great necessity by all Saints to bee in a speciall manner regarded for that Satan will endeavour to deceive such is most certain And it is as certain that the most likely way and means that he hath to effect this his design must bee by fair shewes of holinesse and excellent pretences of Piety which is figured out in Scripture under the name of Sheeps cloathing with which Christ saith the false Prophets which are Satans Ministers shall bee attired Therefore t is possible that a Christian-like outside may bee in some but a cover for an Antichristian spirit And that Satan should thus delude his Servants into such a conversation that savoreth of sobriety self-deny all and a transformity from the World in very many things which are very eminent characters of Christianity I say that the Devil should delude some into a shew of such things is no more to bee admired at than his acting forth himself in the Magicians of Egypt to work miracles much like to those which God shewed by his servant Moses Yea the Apostle testifies that in his dayes some did make resistance to the truth after this manner 2 Tim. 3.8 and of some also that were deluded into a voluntary humility and such things as he confesseth to have a shew of wisdome in wil-worship and humility and neglecting of the body not in any honour to the satisfying of the flesh Now t is a kind of self-denyall to neglect the body and not to satisfie the desires of the flesh And also to abstain from meats which God hath created to bee received with thanksgiving as he saith 1 Tim. 4. ● 2 3. that some should do who yet were such as had departed from the faith and given heed to seducing spirits and Doctrins of Devils And thus Satan by transforming his servants into such shews doth make them the more fit to advance his deceiving design amongst the sons of men for hereby hee doth not only deceive them but also furnish them with ability to be DECEITFULL WORKERS to prevail upon others 2 Cor. 11.13 And of this sort are those people now called QVAKERS whose deceitfull and hereticall wayes in part are in this little volume presented before thee in answer to a book intituled An untaught teacher witnessed against lest thou shouldest by their subtle insinuations and fair pretences of self-deny all c. so far let out thy affections towards them as not to try them in other things which being throughly searched out will prove them to bee those deceivers which yee have heard should come in the last dayes of whose deceit O reader bee thou aware and consider that the deceiver cannot put away his brass mony but by mixing it among good silver whereby men may if not circumspect bee unawares deceived Wherefore bee CIRCV MSPECT and stable in all thy wayes And if through reading and due consideration of this ensuing treatise thou shalt bee the better fitted to discern truth from error CHRIST from ANTICHRIST and so through grace be the better enabled to stand fast the aim of mee herein is accomplished who am An unworthy servant of Christ desirous of the eternal wel-fare of thy soul MATTHEW CAFFYN The Damnable Heresies of the Quakers Discovered CHristian Friends it doth not a little concern the People of God at this time to walk circumspectly having their Lights burning as wise Virgins that they may be the approved of the Lord and so the preserved of the Lord in these last days wherein the evil is great justly may we be blamed as others have been by the Lord if we discern not this time which is and much more will be full of peril yea such a time of trouble as never was since there was a Nation Dan. 12.1 in which the Mystery of Iniquity that did in measure work in the Apostles days shall be finished and the Man of Sin revealed the Son of Perdition which then was let even till our days by the power of the Kings of the earth which withstood the liberty of mens Consciences 2 Thess 2.6 7 8. but now the Lord hath removed it in this our Nation and so we have praised be the Lord enjoyed much Liberty and Freedom by means whereof the Gospel of Jesus hath been and yet is declared among the Sons of Men whereby divers have been fully convinced of the Truth of Christ some of which have denied themselves and become obedient and other some have put from them the words of everlasting life yea notwithstanding all the goodness of God together with his
