False Fictions AND ROMANCES REBUKED: In Answer to Pretended Matter Charged against the QUAKER, in a Book, Entitled, The Progress of Sin, etc. Written by B. K. His Lies and Slanders therein returned back upon him, and the Speakers of YEA and NAY in Truth Vindicated. By JAMES PARK. Psal. 7. 14. Behold he Traveleth with Iniquity, he hath conceived Mischief, and brought forth Falsehood. Ibid. v. 16. His Mischief shall return upon his own Head, etc. LONDON, Printed in the Year, 1684. False FICTIONS and ROMANCES Rebuked, etc. I Have lately met with a Book entitled, The Progress of Sin, etc. it appears to be written by the Author of War with the Devil; in the Title Page, for his Name is only set B. K. towards the latter end of his Progress of Sin, he seems concerned in his Majestical Attempts to Try, Condemn and Execute Tyrant Sin, (as he calls it) but could not plainly tell how to demonstrate its Nature in any sort of People, especially the Quaker, whom he Exposeth and Derideth for his speaking Yea and Nay, beginning with him by a Misrepresentation of his Zeal and Sanctity, then making him speak, what (I dare say) he never said, nor can he prove it: But however Tried, and Condemned to reproach must the Quaker be by this Baptist Teacher, really for what it remains for him to make appear in his next Progress of Sin, if he knew how; for in his last he hath come so far short thereof, that I think every solid Christian Reader may apprehend him so baffled in his War with the Devil and Progress of Sin, as now set at variance, and fight with his own shadow: and his War with the Quaker is, as if he had no skill to make one fair blow at him, although his Wicked Fists are lifted up high enough to knock him on the Head at once, were not the Angel of God's Presence with him, to keep him in safety from the power of his Fists of Wickedness. Sober Men may judge that he might have forborn his barking and biting also at the Quaker at his ravenous rate, at such a day of suffering as this is, upon all Dissenters from the public Worship of the Nation; what in his Progress of Sin I found by way of Charge against the Quaker, I return him this following Answer, being as much as I judged Expedient it might deserve, Truth or Reality not appearing in his Proceed against the Quaker by his Imaginary Court, or what he hath printed in his Progress of Sin against him: he imagined ('tis like) it might be some pleasing Food to such of his Brethren▪ that are most in Enmity & Prejudice against the Quaker, if none else would by't at it or taste it; however certain I am, it can do good to none, plainly proceeding from an Evil Fountain, the Father of Falsehood, Deceit and Lies. B. K. in page 241. of thy Progress of Sin, etc. Thou hast taken upon thee in thy dark Imaginary Mind and Spirit, to search for and find out Mr. Erroneous's House (as thou call'st it) of the Town of Heresy, where, thou sayest, Sin was found hid under the plain Cloak of Yea and Nay, with pretended Zeal and seeming Sanctity: What! Couldst thou not find out thy Mr. Erroneous's House of the Town of Heresy no where, but under the plain Cloak of Yea and Nay, as in 〈◊〉 Unrighteous Smite it appears? the Quaker thou aim'st thy blow at, with thy Fist of Wickedness, Error and Heresy, if thou hadst searched for it with the Light of Christ, and the Spirit of the Lord, thou needest not to have gone so far as the plain Cloak of Yea and Nay to have found it; for thou mightst have found it near thee, under thy fashionable painted false Cover with thy Multitude of Words, that want not Sin, nor shall profit the People at all, however thou may flatter thyself in thy vain Imagination; the true Zeal and Sanctity of the People that have been directed by the Lord and the Rule of Scriptures to Yea and Nay in all our Communication, thou canst not make void; and if thou Swear, or thy Communication be not Yea and Nay, than it cometh of Evil, Mat. 5. 37. Thou art so hasty and furious for the Trial of thy pretended Sin of Error and Heresy, which thou unwarrantably sayest was found under the plain Cloak of Yea and Nay; that with thy Fictions and Lies, (like thy Brother Hicks) thou resolvest to dispatch his Trial, to Try and Sentence him that speaks Yea and Nay, contrary to his Knowledge of thy intent, he having no summons before thy Narrative of the pretended Trial of him was Printed, and thou wast afraid, Thou shouldst not have Room, the Press calling upon thee to Abreviate, etc. But if thou hadst had true Christian Charity towards the Despised Speakers of Yea and Nay, thou wouldst have been more Cautious and Deliberate in thy Proceed, then to Judge and Sentence him, and not really to tell him thy Unchristian Design against him. Room to Range in, I see not how thou couldst want, and if thou hadst kept this thy Evil Work from the Press, till any Press in London called for it, I question its coming at any of them. God be thanked, the truly Zealous and Sanctified Quaker is not in thy hold, as thou imaginest; if he were really so, no good or comfort hast thou given him cause to expect from thee; but what Chief Constables Hand is he in? away with thy Fictions and Imaginations; be plain, if false Forgery and Deceit have not so blinded thee and hardened thy heart, that thou knowest not how and what Officers were they thou darkly mentions. Dost thou not know, that thy Trumpet hath given an uncertain sound, and there is none that are come to that which is certain will hasten to or matter thy unjust and unrighteous Trumpet, and Trial with thy foolish Imagining a Bench. Page 242. thou pretends Sacred Scripture to be Judge of thy Bench, attended with so many of thy Imagined Sirs, framed up in thy Sensual Mind, that seldom if ever hath been known the like to try Tyrant Sin▪ but if all thy Sirs except Antichristian Opposition, might really have heard the Quakers Just Plea for himself, without thy taking upon thee to make up a Judge and Jury of thy own devising, most of thy Sirs might have seen just cause to adhere thereunto, and not according to thy Evil desire have brought the Quaker in Guilty with Tyrant Sin: I know not what or whom thou meanest, let them concerned look to that: for some other People besides the Quaker thou must also aim at, which thou was not so willing plainly to name. The Sacred Scripture, the Quaker owns the Authority of, to discover and condemn Sin and Error, contrary to what thou (like thy Brother Hicks in his Dialogues) hast forged that upon the Quaker, as said by him, which he nor thou cannot prove against the Quaker, or that it was ever said by him, whom thus grossly thou hast belied and abused. The Scriptures of Truth, which thou pretends to be thy Judge, will never justify thee in this thy Unscriptural work of making the Quaker speak in page 245. as Denying the Authority of the Scriptures, etc. without any mention of who it was, when it was, or where any such Expressions were really uttered by the Quaker: And the God of Heaven and Earth to whose Righteous Judgement the Quaker can boldly appeal for Judgement against thee in this matter, knoweth how innocent the Quaker is of this thy Hellish Charge; and I doubt not but will quit the Quaker shortly from thee and it, by wiping away that reproach thou and such like have from time to time endeavoured to cast upon the Quaker, by your Fictions and Lies, which in your Malicious Minds you have Forged and Printed against him; thy fictious Conviction by thy pretended Jury, which thou falsely calls Worthy Gentlemen, will prove Rotten Judgement, Corrupt Reason, Darkened Understanding, Slavish Fear, Wicked Revenge, Carnal Indignation, Wicked Desire, Hellish Zeal in the Town of Ignorance, Dead Faith, Feigned Love, Hypocrisy and Partiality, which thou appears full of and acted by in thy late undertake, which will be thy Burden too hard for thee long to bear: So, thy Charge, Indictment, with thy Jury, so many Masters made up in the dark Chamber of Imaginations of thy Vain and Deceitful Heart, reacheth not the Quaker, but more reacheth such as thyself, whose Wickedness will be searched out by him that seethe it altogether, and will bring it upon thy own Head, sly whether thou wilt with thy Vain Dark Shifts, the Righteous Judge of Heaven and Earth will find thee out, and reward thee according to thy Works of Darkness. Where doth the Sacred Scripture, thy pretended Judge of thine Imagined Court bid any there to take off the Quakers Hat? answer me plainly: surely, if thou were not ignorant of the Scripture, that Equal Judge, and the profitableness thereof to make the Man of God perfect, through Faith in Christ Jesus, thou wouldst not have given Sacred Scripture, thy pretended Judge and Rule, as thou hast done, the Lie: It's no marvel that thou hast the Art to forge so many false things against the Quaker, when thou canst do so by thy Judge, as thou pretends Sacred Scripture, as if that should say in thy falsely framed Court to some there, Take off the Quakers Hat; and say further, Friend, what is the Reason that you go about to hinder the Orderly Proceed of this Court against this Criminal? (page 244 of thy Progress of Sin) this is so unlike Sacred Scripture, and so far contrary to the Language thereof, as if this Baptist Teacher had forged new Scripture, as well as framed a new Form of Judicature now in England, that himself should have the sway of, and thereby to Save and Condemn whom he pleased by his newly Erected Court of Justice, the Form and Manner of it much Unheard of and Unknown in England. What would this vain Man be at? Who seems so Ambitious after Superiority, that by his Trumpet he seems to have so many Sirs, Attorney General, & Solicitor General, with so many Masters at his command, as a form Court; his Mr. Christianity, and Primitive Purity are so far from being really that, that they are by me scarce worth mentioning, with which he makes such a confused noise now in City and Country▪ that Real Christianity and Primitive Purity indeed he will more make People deaf to, than any ways be Instrumental to open their Ears to it. What Quaker hath said to thy Imagined Mr. Christian, My Name Friend, thou its like cannot understand if I should tell thee? Where and when was this? show if thou canst, or else cease thy thus smiting the Quaker, whom so unrighteously thou opposeth to thy Mr. Christian, manifesting the Gall of Bitterness that is in thy hard Heart, who seemest as if thou well knew not how to vent it enough against the Despised Suffering Christian-Quaker; surely God, nor any that are really of him, neither the Holy Scriptures, doth Judge or Condemn the Quaker for going about to Obstruct or hinder the Disorderly proceed of thy Corrupt Court, hatched through the vain Imaginations of thy Evil Heart against the Innocent Quaker. Thou Minister of Sin, when and where did the Quaker say to thee or thy Question (page 245 of thy Progress of Sin) to wit, Who is the proper Judge? etc. What Quaker answered, The Light within all Men or divine Revelation? And that said, He disowned Sr. Sacred Scripture to be the Judge? etc. Or that People have in an Idolatrous manner so long adored him? bring forth the Quaker that uttered these say, or else confess thyself to be a forger of Lies, and so cease thy Scribbling. And where was it, and what Quaker said, I do not believe what Sr. Sacred Scripture testifieth; or what is it but a lifeless Fellow, a pitiful Paper Judge, a dead Letter: If thou could as readily Prove all that against him, as thou art Impudent in Accusing of him, it were something to thy Evil purpose and design against him, which the Eternal God will certainly confound and blast; and till than thou dost but still further manifest thy own Folly and great Ignorance of the Word of God. In thy Enmity and Wickedness, in page 246. thou goest about more plainly to show thy mischievous desire against the Quaker, by making him Brother in Iniquity with the Jesuit, and as if the Jesuit should say to the Quaker, Well said Brother, etc. when thou falsely chargeth him, Not to believe what Sacred Scripture testifieth; and that he should say, What is it but a lifeless Fellow, a pitiful Paper judge, etc. which words I dare affirm no Quaker ever spoke: Thy War with the Devil thou thinkest thou art so good at, it will certainly be ineffectual, as long as thou art thus led by the Spirit of the Father of Lies, using thy Tongue to speak, & thy Pen to publish thus Lies and Falshood, for which with thy other Wickedness the Lord I know will rebuke thee, and (may be) stir up some of thy own Persuasion to manifest a dislike of this thy confused and hideous abusing of the Quaker. And if thou Judge it so Criminal for the jesuit and the Quaker to agree in some things; may be thou and others of thy Brethren will be proved more highly guilty thereof then the Quaker: who knoweth not yet, but the jesuits may retain something, that in itself may be good: Shall I utterly renounce what is good, because a jesuit holds the same? I know no reason for that, whatsoever the unreasonable Baptist Teacher saith of the Quaker, one while agreeing with the Papist, and another while in the same Page they differ: the pure Light of Christ Jesus, or Immediate Revelation from God, being really experienced to give Light and understanding to the Saints, doth no ways lessen or make void the Divine Authority of the Holy Scriptures, but rather thereby the Children of Light and of the Day, are more and more confirmed in the belief of the Holy and Divine Authority of Sacred Scripture. O Man! thou wilt one day be tormented to thy great grief and sorrow of thy Heart, in that thou hast been so sensual, not only to join the Quaker and jesuit together as Brethren in Iniquity, but also hast Blasphemonsly excluded the Light of Christ within Man and Woman (that the Quaker loveth, and the Scriptures Extol highly, and also Revelation) from being Judge of Faith and Practice, putting not that difference that deservedly thou might by distinguishing the Light of Christ from the Pope or his Church: What! Is thy Darkness so great, that Revelation from God is of no better esteem with thee then Pope or Church of Rome? which thou seemest to hate also, that its manifest, that thou dost not love but hate the Light within, and Revelation, equally as thou hatest the Pope, if not more; wishing doubtless as bad to him and his Church, as thou dost the Quaker which in time justly may be recompensed upon thee, for thou not only thinks but speaks Evil, and it will deservedly pursue thee Surely, all that will may see, how this Baptist Teacher (if he had power in his hands) hath a mind, and how his Fingers itcheth to be fingering or roughly handling the Quakers, by his pretended Trumpet, sounding for to prepare his Imagined Bench of justice, to Try, judge, and find Guilty the Quaker of Error and Heresy: Sins indeed, if he could as readily prove against him, as feignedly he hath charged him; but I am sure the Reader may read long enough in his Progress of Sin, before really he can find any thing of plain prooff of this against the Quaker, how fallaciously and blackly soever in his Wicked Mind he hath charged him with the great Sin of Error and Heresy: and I think scarce any People of any other Profession, save only Papists, that his Charge runs so directly against. The Reader must take for granted if he will that Anabaptists, Independants and Presbyterians, etc. are quite clear of these his Charges; and the Quaker, whose Yea Yea, and whose Nay is Nay, need not fear the uncertain sound of this Baptist Teachers Trumpet, nor his Bench, Jury, or Witnesses, that he hath pretended to Convict them by, who might have saved that labour to call Sr. Sublime Matter with his thirteen Imagined Sirs more, as fantastically he takes upon him to make Knights and Gentlemen at his pleasure, none of them worth mentioning, save to manifest the Folly and Ridiculousness of their Maker. Surely, the way he takes may bring distress upon Zion, but will not help her nor comfort her when distressed. I have heard that this Author of The Progress of Sin, writ another Book, called, War with the Devil; but if that be written from that Spirit wherein he writ this, he will be foiled and sadly worsted by the Devil in his encounter; and B. K. thou wilt know that the Quaker doth quite slight thy Romantic Conceit of thy Created Sirs and Gentlemen, as thou calls them, and all that which thou feignest they have to say against him thou audaciously condemnest, and would have destroyed, else what dost thou mean by thy thus not only holding up thy Wicked Fists against, but striking and smiting, as if thou had a mind to Blood; and if thou delight therein, it will pursue thee: if thou hadst had any real Charity, thou doubtless would have considered the several Laws of Men, and Courts of Justice, by which the Quakers are frequently exposed to Sufferings and Spoils already; but it seems, thou judgedst all of that kind too little Punishment for the Quaker, although may be thou thinks it a great deal too much for you Baptists: If thou hadst had any real matter thou could have proved against the Quaker, with absolute power to have Tried and Punished this thy supposed▪ Criminal; few & Evil it's like wouldst thou have made the Days of his Pilgrimage; thou baste given the Quaker little cause to expect better from thee then the Gallows, which the Quaker met with from that Spirit that thy Court of Justice is managed by in thy Presbyterian Brethren in New-England: They were going the way to quit that Country by the Gallows of the Quakers there, had not the King in time stopped them, and put a Bridle to their Murderous Proceed in their Bloody Courts: It may be easily seen, what this Baptist Teacher would be doing (had he power in his hands) with the Quaker. How far the Papists are guilty of his Charge, they know best; I wish all Men well, desiring they might as well quit themselves of Error and Heresy, as the Quaker can; which is his great Comfort and Happiness at this day, which this envious Baptist Teacher cannot take from him, nor all his Brethren in Iniquity with him; and God I hope will send a good deliverance to the Quaker, and deliver him from the Power of Hell acting its self in this Baptist Teachers Court. He saith in his Preface to his Progress of Sin; That he hath endeavoured to avoid all occasion of Offence, not reflecting on any Man's person, etc. though all kinds of Sins be justly exposed, and Sinners reprehended. It's true, that thou hast not named any Persons, but people as the Quaker and Jesuits, so reflecting on them in thy Book, that I find there's no Baptist, Independent or Presbyterian, etc. by the Name they are distinguished in their Profession of Religion, but if Sinners, as thou makes them, be the persons of the Quakers and Jesuits, thou hast plainly pointed at, nay, singled out them by the Name they go under, not so (by thy usurped power of a Court) proceeding with any of the other Criminals; for peradventure they are the best of the Flock in thy Eye, thou wouldst spare, as did Amaleck; and however thou hast reprehended Persons or Sinners through thy Book, thou wilt be found a Forger of Lies and false Fictions against the Quaker, whom in page 241. thou exposest under the plain Cloak of Yea and Nay, with pretended Zeal, and seeming Sanctity; might thou not almost as well have exposed by their proper Names most that are called Quakers, whose Zeal for God in this day I doubt not but will prove right, and their Sanctity really of the Lord Jesus Christ, notwithstanding the vain Taints, Scorn and Derision, wherewith in thy Progress of Sin thou hast appeared against speaking of Yea and Nay, and the Quakers Zeal and Sanctity, I hope that will abide right and sincere towards God and his Work, when the Zeal and Sanctity of this Baptist Teacher will stand him in little stead, his Zeal being Fury, and his Sanctity, Enmity; coming forth in a confused heap of Imaginations and Divinations of his own Brain, which if it had not been crazy, might have foreseen, he gave some just occasion to the Quaker and Papist to be offended at him for joining them together in a Brotherhood in Iniquity, and guilty of Imposture, Heresy and Error: But he must make another Statute Book then the New or Old Testament, for this Court of his Erecting to Proceed upon, before he can make good his Charge against the Quaker, for the Old and New Testament sufficiently witnesseth for the Quaker, against this unjust Accuser and his Whimsies. B. K. I Charge thee in the Truth of God (which is over all thy deceit) to bring forth thy High-Constable mentioned by thee to prove the Quaker such a Criminal, as thou hast rendered him page 245. that his Name is Imposture, alias, Erroneous, and what Heresy thou took the Quaker Prisoner in? Or that he endeavoured to hid under the Cloak of Light, Life and Power? Though that is a better Covering to hid under, than Darkness, Death and its Power: Will not Woe from God come upon thee and all People that cover themselves with a nother Covering than that of God's Holy Spirit? which is one with the Light, Life and Power of God forever: Divide or separate them if thou canst; what is thy Cloak thou hast over thee, that is contrary to the Light, Life and Power of God? surely, it is but Darkness and Death, or Figg-leaves, that hid not thy Nakedness from them, that are in this Light, Life and Power of the Lord; such see sufficiently the shame of thy Nakedness, although People not come thereunto, may look upon thee as well gifted, and thy Confused Work of Eminent Worth. Thou Forger of Lies and Enemy of the Truth and Righteousness, what Quaker was it, that yet ever denied the Scripture Authority? Or said to it, Art thou the judge of Sin and Error? away with thee; show where this was said, and the time when, or else thou gives the Quaker ground to proclaim thee a very great and grand Son to the Father of Lies, and to cry, Away with this Son of Perdition; and the Quaker may well believe thou art not the Just Man that sinneth not, who hast proved so unjust to him; and that if ever thou had any goodness, like the early dew, it is passing away, and that thou art so drunk with, and needlessly cumbers thy Mind about many things, to no purpose, in thy late troublesome Work, is very apparent to him that hath an eye to see with; thou one day wilt be made to know (besure) that that thou hast written against the Quaker, is black, false and offensive enough; making him in thy sensual Mind to call Sacred Scripture, A Dumb Idol; whereas the living God knoweth that the Quaker never had such a thought, much less spoke it at any time. And thou hast not at all proved thy Charge against the Quakers in the margin of thy aforementioned page; that they deny The Sacred Scripture to be the judge of Sin and Controversy about Religion and Worship; but I doubt that thou dost busy thyself so in Controversy about Religion and Worship of God, that thou wilt scarce in all thy Travels come to that Pure Religion that is undefiled before God, or his Worship in Spirit and Truth. So till thou have fairly and fully proved the Crimes against the Quaker, which thou hast published as his, Sin enough will lie at thy door, where I leave it, till thou find a place for Repentance; and then thou wilt find thy Travails to be those of Ungodliness, (at least, so far as they relate to the Quaker) even a travelling with Iniquity, and the bringing forth Falshood, with the poison of Asps under thy Tongue; for the great Mystery of Godliness in thy Imaginary Travails canst thou never find out nor give a right Description of; but art a great Stranger thereunto; and as if the Profession of Godliness were a sufficient Cloak for thee: If thou hast any thing of the Form of Godliness, yet the power thereof thou seems very ignorant of, so that the Quaker hath still reason sufficient to turn away from thee and all such Formalists and deceitful Works of Iniquity. Written in the Fear and Dread of the Lord God, (for the honour of his Name, and to clear his Truth and People that walk in it, from the reproach and scandal this Opposer hath endeavoured to cast upon the same, with his Fictions and Romances) by a true lover of Godliness in Life and Power, highly esteeming the Divine Authority of the Holy Scriptures. Something further, partly by way of Query. WHat Quaker was that which in page 248. is said to say, I am sure, I should have known as much of Christ as now I do, if I had never heard of the Scriptures? And what Quaker was it, that ('tis said in that page) was quite silent upon thy doting unnecessary Question pretended to be put to him, to wit, What things Jesus did that were not written? and answer it thyself, if thou canst. And what marvel is it, that many of thy Evil-devised Court were ready to smile, and cried out, How are these People Deluded? Who and how many in thy Court were they that were ready to smile, and cried out, How are these People Deluded, before the things charged against them were at all proved? Art thou not ashamed to pretend, that thou hast confuted the Quaker; whilst 'tis nothing but that which thou in thy Evil Heart hast Imagined and forged against him, that thou smitest at? That there is wholesome and sound Judgement against Sin and Evil throughout the Scriptures, was always plainly owned by the Quaker; yet we know not where it calls itself Sr. Sacred Scripture, or that thou hast plainly proved it to be the only Judge of Sin, and Rule of Faith and Practice: Mightst thou not as well have placed this Authority properly more immediately upon Christ Jesus, as he is the Word of God, who was in the Beginning with God, and before the World was, and the Scriptures were written? But ought the Light of Christ Jesus and Revelation of God so to be slighted and rejected by thee, as to be no rule of Faith and Practice, or that it may not be concerned in Judging Sin? And may it not be affirmed a certain and undeniable means to discover Deceivers and Impostors where ever they are, or whatsoever they may pretend to? and no other Light or Revelation doth the Quaker exhort People to come to or believe in, but the Light of Christ, and Revelation from God of his Son Christ Jesus; by which none are left to an uncertainty, as thou blindly imaginest. What Quaker was it, that asked for Mediums, and that to make out what we say and affirm? produce him if thou can; or that said to thee, Thou looked for a sign; though probably he had not been mistaken, if he had told thee so? Hast thou convinced the Pagan thou speakest of, that what thou sayest is true? the Quaker cannot believe Fictions; bring thy Pagan forth, that the Quaker may discourse him upon this subject. Is the agreement betwixt the Papist and Quaker that thou storms at, any thing, but what thou hast made the Quaker to be, that he never was, and to say, what he never said; to say, What is Sr. Sacred Scripture, but a Lifeless Fellow, a pitiful Paper-Judge, a Dead Letter: which words the Quaker denys utterly, putting thee upon the prooff thereof? Also when any Jesuit said to any Quaker thereupon, Well said Brother, or A Nose of Wax? certainly, That which was before time I do believe will in due time make fully manifest, whether the Papist and Quaker, or Papist and the Anabaptists do most agree, and whether this Anabaptist-Teacher may not prove too much like a Nose of Wax, when his Faith and Practice comes to be further tried? How dares thou say in the Margin of thy Book, page 247. That there came in (pretending to thy Court) an Outlandish Man, of a tauney Complexion, that called the Scriptures of Truth, thy pretended Judge, Lord, and said, He was a Pagan Born, an Indian dwelling in the furthest parts of America, that manifested any Contradiction to the Quaker about the Light of Christ within, or its sufficiency, as the Quakers do really affirm and bear Testimony of it? But how then can any of you Baptist-Teachers any more render us as Pagans to the World, seeing the Pagan and you so well agree? But how came the uncertain sound of thy Trumpet to be heard as far as America? How many Indians or Pagans hast thou by thy pretended Judge convinced of the Evil of their ways and do, without the Light of Christ Jesus, which thou so hates, and endeavours to exclude from being any Judge of Sin, Being (as thou darkly sayest) wholly Ignorant, or know nothing of one great Statute-Book, wherein many positive good Laws are written, which the Prisoner at the Bar hath abominably violated, page 247. I think of so little as thou hast writ against the Quaker, never more Malice, Deceit and Falsehood appeared: Can there be any Statute-Book or Good Laws in it, and the light of Christ within people be wholly Ignorant or know nothing of one great Statute Book, & c? I would thou saw thy own Confusion and Ignorance of the Light of Christ and the way thereof. How can the Light of the glorious Gospel, that shines in People's Hearts, be ignorant or know nothing of the glorious Gospel of Jesus Christ, or any Precept or Ordinance thereof, which the Prisoner (as thou calls him) at thy pretended Bar hath Abominably violated, without any prooff against thy supposed Prisoner at thy Imagined Bar? And prove what are those good Laws, as thou calls them, he hath so violated: as for the Good Laws of the Old and New Testament the Quaker hath not violated, but is a doer thereof, which is more justifiable in the eye of the great Law giver, then to profess and talk of the Laws of God, and be a daily breaker and not doer of the same. J. P. THE END.
