  Anti-Quakerism, or, A character of the Quakers spirit, from its original and first cause. / Written by a pious gentleman that hath been thirteen years amongst the Separatists to make observations, and is now returned home with a full intent to lay open the whole mystery of iniquity, in unvailing the whore, that men may no longer drink of the wine of her fornications; he hath vowed a single life, and given himself up wholly to the exercises of the mind. And here he hath described the spirit of Quakerism. 1. Being a precise Puritan. 2. An Anabaptist. 3. A Seeker. 4. A Ranter. 5. A Quaker, and indeed what not, all things, and nothing. By which character every man may in some measure see the deceitfulness of his own imagination and be careful, and watch himself accordinly [sic].

summary:
  Thither alass you sent in haste , And thus you did some treasure w●ste , But wh●n your mess●ngers came there , They were deceiv'd as we are here . Then did they with a joynt consent Do that o● which you now repent , Authorize one them to bap●iz● , Thus this fine cheat they did devise .

  Good report from bad men, no mean disparagement together with A cordial for Christians, when they receive evil, for well doing, being an arrow drawn forth of that sententious quiver, intituled, A Christian library, or, A pleasant and plentifull paradise of practical divinity.

summary:
  And hence it is that the Holy Ghost calls upon us to rejoyce , and be exceeding glad , when men shall revile , and persecute , and say all manner of evill against us falsely for Christs sake : and tels us , we are blessed and happy , for that the spirit of glory , and of God does so much the more rest upon us , which on their parts is evill spoken of , but on our part is glorified , 1 Pet. 4.12 , 13 , 14. This to me ( whom you had never before seen ) seemed no less absurd then strange ; and having a darke heart , in stead of great love and thanks , I returned you a most churlish and uncivil answer , and accordingly when I met with my drunken consorts , I read it with no less scorn then ignorance ; but before I had done , it made me tremble ! nor could I rest , until I had perused the other three Books , which have so represented the very thoughts , secrets , and deceitfulness of my heart unto my conscience ; that I could not but say of them , as the woman of Samaria once spake of our Saviour ; They have told me all things that ever I did , John 4.29 . Which made me conclude with that Vnbeliever , 1 Cor. 14.24 , 25. That the hand of God was in the contriving of them ; Nor could they ever have so done , if they were not of God , as the young man in the Gospel , reasoned with the Pharisees touching Jesus , when he had opened his eyes , that had been blind from his birth , John 9.32 , 33. Which is such a mercy , that no tongue is able to express ! for till then , I went on in the broad way , and worlds road to destruction , without any mistrust .

summary:
  For two causes ; one , the destruction of this woman ; another , because I ( quoth he ) who profess my self a Christian , do not so much studie to please God by innocencie of life , as this woman does to please the Divel and men with her vanities . Nothing procures love and credit , both with God and man , like humility ; nothing hatred and scorn , like pride .

  Whence it is , that St. Cyprian useth these words : It is as much lost labour ( saith he ) to preach unto men the things of God , before they are humbled with the sight of their wants , as to offer light to a blinde man , to speak to a deaf man , or to labour to make a brute beast wise . Yea , the most of men amongst us so delude themselves with mistakes , and false surmises , against Religion , and the religious , that piety and goodnesse is so despised ; loosenesse and prophanesse so set by , and defended , by some ignorantly , by others maliciously : and this also by reason of long custome runs so deep and strong , that wee can never look to have it mended , untill Christ comes in the clouds .

Being five chapters taken out of a book entituled, The whole duty of a Christian: composed by R. Younge, late of Roxwell in Essex, florilegus.

summary:
  For as St. Paul tells us , The heart of man is not able to conceive those joyes ; which being so , How should I be able to express them in words ? And yet though we cannot comprehend this glory , this far most excellent , exceeding , and eternal weight of transcendent glory ; yet may and ought we to admire the never enough to be admired bounty and goodness of God and our Redeemer , in crying out , O the depth , &c. O the sweetness of his love , how unsearchable are his thoughts , and intendments to man-ward ? ( once miserably forlorn , lost and undone ) and his ways past finding out , Rom. 11. 33. CHAP. But I may appeal to any mans conscience , that hath been softned with the unction of grace , and truly tasted the powers of the World to come ; To him that hath the love of God shed abroad in his heart by the holy Ghost ; in whose Soul the light of grace shines , whether his whole life be not a perpetual Hallelujah , in comparison of his natural condition ?

With hopeful means (God blessing the same) to prevent that three-fold (and worse than Ægyptian) plague of the heart; drunkenness, swearing, and profaneness. Wherein is a sweet composition of severity and mercy: of indignation against sin, of compassion and commiseration to the sinner; with such Christian moderation, as may argue zeal without malice; and a desire to win souls, no will to gall them.

  The prevention of poverty, together with the cure of melancholy, alias discontent. Or The best and surest way to wealth and happiness being subjects very seasonable for these times; wherein all are poor, or not pleased, or both; when they need be neither. / By Rich. Younge, of Roxwel in Essex, florilegus. Imprimatur Joseph Caryl.

summary:
  And indeed , what great difference is there , save in the pride and covetousness of a mans mind ? for my part , ( let me speak it to Gods glory , and out of thankfulness ) I have no share with either of them in these delights ; I enjoy neither curious gardens , nor delicious musick , nor sumputous fare , my body will scarce permit me a cup of strong drink , I do not know that I have been free from getting cold in my head ( more or less ) one whole day this thirty years , my means will not afford me to keep either horse or man , except with the unjust Steward , I should cozen my master , yet I would not change my condition either with him or his Lord , and I doubt not but there are thousands of my mind , as preferring a retired life , spent in conversing with Authors , before all the honors , pleasures , and profits that others enjoy ; This is the gift of God , ( Eccl. SEcondly , admit God is pleased to continue or increase the unthankful and unmercifull mans meanes , yet he denies to add his blessing withall , and then he had as good be without it ; for no outward blessing proves a blessing , without Gods blessing upon it , Mal.

  Englands unthankfulness striving with Gods goodness, for the victory as Abaslom [sic] strove with David, whether the father should be more kinde to the son; or the son more unkinde to the father. Or, enough (being wel weighed) to melt an heart of adamant. By R. Younge, florilegus. In reference to Leviticus 19.17 and Isaiah 58.1. In reading whereof, reflect upon your selves; hearken to conscience; and what concerns you, apply it to others, as David did Nathans parable, 2 Sam. 12.1, to 8. And Ahab the prophets, 1 King.20. 39, to 43. Want of application makes all means ineffectual; and therefore are we Christians in name only, because we think out selves Christians indeed, and already good enough.

  A sovereign antidote against all grief extracted out of the choisest authors, ancient and modern both holy and humane : necessary to be read of all that any way suffer tribulation / by R. Younge ...

summary:
  O God! we may not alwaies measure thy meaning by thy semblance ; sometimes what thou most intendest , thou shewest least●… In our afflictions thou turn'st thy back upon us , and hidest thy face from us , when thou most mindest our distresses . Use 2. 2 If the malice of our enemies , as it is husbanded to our thrist ( by a divine and supream providence ) doth make so much for our advantage and benefit here , and hereafter ; as namely , that it opens our eyes no less then peace and prosperity had formerly shut them ; that nothing doth so powerfully call home the conscience , as affliction ; and that we need no other art of memory for sin , besides misery ; It commonly we are at variance with God , when we are at pe●…ce with our enemies , and that it is both hard and happy , not to be the worse with liberty , as the sedentary life is most subject to diseases : if vigour of body , and infirmity of minde , do for the most part lodge under one roof , and that a wearish outside be a strong motive to mortification : if God , the All-wise Physician , knows this the fittest medicine for our souls sickness , and that we cannot otherwise be cured ; if our pride forceth God to do by us , as S●…rtorius did by his Army , who perceiving his Souldiers puft up through many Victories , and hearing them boast of their many Conquests , led them of purpose into the lap of their Enemies , to the end that stripes might learn them moderation .

summary:
  Againe , search the whole Bible over and you shall not finde one holy man mentioned , without mention of something hee suffered from ungodly men ; as it were easie to instance , how Abel , Lot , Noah , Righteous men Abraham the Father of the faithfull , Isaac , Iacob , Ioseph Patriarches and Fathers of the Church , meek Moses , upright Sam●●l , holy David , wise Solomon , all the Lords Priests , Prophets , Apostles ; yea the harmlesse Babes and our Saviour Christ himselfe , did severally suffer from wicked and ungodly men , yea , never man came to Heaven , but first hee passed through this Purgatory : God had one Sonne without sinne , but never any one without suffering ; which makes our Saviour say , Woe be to you , when all men speake well of you , that is , when evill men speake well of you , for so did the Iews of the false Prophets , Luke 6.26 . And because hee cannot force men against their wills ; ( which leaves us without excuse ) for though that old Sheba , blowes many an inticing blast , to carry us away from our true allegiance to Christ Iesus our King : yet the minde of man is not capable of a violation , either from man or Sathan : therefore he useth his utmost pollicy to perswade us .

summary:
  Besides , I have shewn you that as nothing so aliena●es a mans love , from his vertuous Consort , as his inordinate affection to a filthy strumpet : so nothing does so far separate ; and diminish a mans love to God , and heavenly things , as our inordinate affection to the world and earthly things . Yea let us assure our selves , that we cannot suffer ( in a wise and dis●reet manner ) empty our selves of these waters of Gods blessings , for the satisfying and quenching of the poore mans thirst , and relieving of his wants : but we shall again be replenished from the fountain of all goodness ; and if like kind Nurses , we let these deare Children of God suck the breasts of our bounty , for their comfort and nourishment : that which is thus spent will again be restored : whereas if we churlishly refuse to impart , and communicate this milk of Gods blessings , it is the readiest way to have it quite dried up .
