  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].

  To you that are called Anabaptists in the nation of Ireland teachers and people, who profess your selves to be the Church of Christ; this is the word of the Lord God unto you.

summary:
  YOu are gathered and not in the Spirit of Jesus , nor in the Light of Christ , nor in the power of God ; you are separated but not in the truth , nor in the ground , for the defiled and uncircumcised nature of the world stands alive in you , & you are in the uncrucified estate , in the dominion of death , & under the power of sin : pride , covetousness , hypocrisie , vainglory , and the workes of the flesh abound among you ; to the Light in you which Christ hath lightned you with all , I doe speake , which shall beare witness for me herein ; and against you in the day of the Lord which suddenly comes upon you and all the world , who are not in the Light and power of God : you are bowing down to the Jmage in the fained hippocrisie , of what the Saints Injoyed and witnessed in the life & power of God : you never came truly through the ministration of Moses which reveales wrath upon the uncircumcised , nor you never came to the ministration of Iohn , who is a burning Light and brings down the mountaines , and prepares the way of the Lord before his face , but you are in your taken out observances from the Letter , as the Jews were , but gainsayes and opposes the life of God as they did , and in that nature you stand which put Christ to death , who doth not own the Light whereby he lighteth every man that comes into the world , though him & his words and Ordinances you profess , and performes your own Immitations , in your fleshly wills , and not the worship of God in the Spirit , and in the truth , for the truth you are strangers too : which the divell nor the wicked abides not in , and are alienated in your mindes from the way and councell of the living God , and hath but the name that you live ; and are dead in trespasses & in sins , and the Jmage of God doth not live in you , and you have but the forme of godliness in your sensuall understandings , in that wisdome which is divelish ; & your dead mindes are exercised in the forme without the power , in vaine shewes in set dayes and in set observances , glorying in the flesh , seeking and receiving praise of men , and is but as the Jew , outward whose house of worship and sacrifice is left desolate and you know not the pure moveings and leadings of the pure spirit of the Lord God to rule you , and to teach you in the way of peace , because you doe not beleeve in the Light which Christ Jesus hath lightned you and every man in the world withall , but doth gainsay it , and strive against it , in your high thoughts , and Imaginations to your own condemnation in the sight of God : who are wise in your own conceits , and Righteous in your own Eye , and measures your selves and not with the rule of Judgement .

summary:
  These things have not been done in a corner , but in the sight of the Sun , before your eyes , and you have not laid it to heart , but ready to add affliction to their Bonds , and to join your hands with their persecutors in your Bookes and Pamphlets , in your preachings and pretended prayers , and in your places of Justice ; and you have strengthened the hands of the Wicked , and persecuted , slandered & reproached my Servants . But as for your parts , you have had a day , and a price put into your hands , but had not hearts to use it , you forgot me saith the Lord , and did not remember the cause of the innocent , but every one sought his own honor and his own advantage , and forgot me and the cause of my people : Therefore did I cause your Sun to set at noon , even in the midst of your day , and did deliver you up into the hands of your enemies , even without a Sword or a Spear ; but by my own might and power , that you might know that I am God , and that I can do whatsoever I will in the Kingdoms of men .

summary:

Richard Hubberthorn.

summary:
  That is false , for they have more contradicted the common Priests of the Nation , as their books and sufferings will witness , although they have according to truth contradicted you , and also have more of your contradictions and confusions to declare concerning you , which is not yet published ; but what do you account their irregular practises ? is it because their yea is yea , and their nay is nay in all their communications ( and yours not so ? ) or is it because they cannot swear at all ? or is it because they cannot have any mans person in admiration because of advantage , or because they cannot respect the person of the rich , nor honour the person of the mighty ? is it because they do unto others as they would have others to do unto them , or because they speak the Truth every one to his neighbour without partialitie or hypocrisie ? or is it any thing relating to these things above named , if not , in your next mention in what , or else the wise in heart will judge you to speak onely from your imaginary conceit ? but what is your end in so secret smiting them ? do you think to excuse your selves by accusing them ? and who is it that doth charge you with countenancing the Quakers in their practises , either Regular or Irregular ? I know none that hath any ground so to charge you , but to men of understanding who can see beyond words , you rather appear to be begging a pardon of the Episcopal and Presbyter , and the wilde Boyes and Apprentices of London , by accusing the Quakers as hereafter will appear , and that fearfulness and unbelieving is entered into your hearts , and so your spirits is betrayed into a slavish fear , but if ever you be accepted or owned of God , you must own that for your strength which the Quakers live in , and if ever any Rule for God in this Nation , they must own that light , life and spirit which they are guided by , and then they will not despise , but have unitie with the Quakers . For whatever composers of any form of worship , may possibly err , it is derogating from God , and his Holy Word , and injurious to men to compel any to the Practise thereof .

  Some briefe considerations on Doctor Featley his book, intituled, The dipper dipt, wherein in some measure is discovered his many great and false accusations of divers persons, commonly called Anabaptists, with an answer to them, and some brief reasons of their practice. In seven sections, viz. I. Dr. Featley his secret and haynous accusing the honourable Parliament. II. That he is guilty of greater errors, than to go into the water to be dipt. ... VI. Some reasons alledged against infants being baptized. A question proposed to consideration, that if it be an error to be baptized again, whether the punishment, some would have inflicted upon them, and some have suffered, be not too great? VII. How many sorts of Anabaptists he saith there are, and what they hold. Whereunto is added, what is conceived the Doctors mysticall frontispiece may more properly declare. / By Samuel Richardson.

summary:
  4. This doctrine offers to make God the authour of mans believing a lie , in enjoyning him to believe the salvation of such as hee knowes , and reveals the contrary , Rom. 9. 27. God requires no man to believe an untruth ; but for a believer to believe that all his seed is in the covenant of grace , is to believe an untruth , Ergo , God requires no such thing . UPon consideration of the frontispice of the Doctors book ; there is the picture of a Serpent , which is very remarkable , and yet he hath said nothing in his book to unfold the mysterie thereof : also considering he contradicts the truth of the substance of his pictures , which is , as he declares , to signifie 14. sorts of Anabaptists , yet sayes in p. 24. there is but three sorts in all , so according to his own confession , his explanation thereof cannot be true , nor hang together , I shall therefore propose to your consideration , what I conceive they may more properly hold forth unto us : The great headed Serpent is the old Serpent , which is the Devill , neer to his mouth is written in great letters , the name Anabaptist , it signifies to us , that the name Anabaptist came first from the Devill , and that he will own whatsoever is written against them ; this name is written , as it were , in a white curtain , which the Serpent stretches wide open : the meaning is , that what is held out by any against the Anabaptists for submitting to Christ , is from the devil ; and that the devill would have all to take notice what is written against them : the spuing that proceeds out of his mouth , is mystically , all his abominable lies and devillish errors , which is the filth of his stomach , which he labours to cast upon the Anabaptists , to make them odious , which declares the devill hath much malice against them ; and the mouth of the Serpent is wide open , which shewes he never ceaseth raging and accnsing them , and his tail is sharp , and it points toward the Anabaptist , it shewes his willingness to give them a deadly wound with it , but his tail is short of them , that is , they are safe from his hurting them , being out of his reach ; and the Anabaptist is set in the midst , and is inclosed close in the East , West , North , South , with men & the devil , it declares that they are beset with enemies in all the four quarters of the earth , and the men have severall names , this signifies severall religions and opinions of severall persons , yet they all are as one joyned together to oppose the truth and people of God , especially against the Anabaptist ; and on the top on the right side of the Serpent , he seems to be very still , his picture declares , that either hee hath wearied himself against the people of God , and so is glad to be quiet , or else he is one that observes the event of things , and perceiving no good can come of it , he chooseth rather to do nothing then to medle with them ; the second , by the posture he seems to be in , is preaching , he holds up his hand , and from it falls something like drops of water , he seems to preach that sprinkling is sufficient for Baptisme , but he hath no pulpit , it 's like he hath had two pulpits , and both justly taken from him for his malignancy to the State .

  A vindication of that part of Spira's despair revived which is challenged by the Anabaptists, and shamefully callumniated by John Wells, a Baptist preacher : wherein also some things are handled relating to infant baptism and dipping in baptism : particularly it is evinced that dipping is not essential to the sacrament of baptism / by Thomas James, author of Spira's despair revived.

summary:
  It was not only Folly and Injustice in Mr. Wells to do thus ; but it may be a sufficient Argumen● to the World , that what he hath written against me is of n● value ; for they were my Adversaries who gave him Instruction● ( surely it was so , and he did not write of himself ) and he Prin● only upon hear-say from such as bestirr'd themselves to throw o●● the Charge was laid against them . Now , that I may not be tedious , being indeed under a Temptation thereto , writing in so just a Cause , in defence of the Truth and my Credit , which are exposed in a shameful manner by that Reply , I will confine my Pen with in these narrow Bounds , to write but of three things ; one concerning the Person who makes the Reply , and the manner of it ; th●● next concerning the Charge which is brought against what I formerly published in that Spira , so far as it respected the Anabaptists which consists of two parts ; one concerning the poor Melancholy distracted Man , R. M. and his tragical end ; which gave me occasion to reflect on the Anabaptists , as those that did him some wrong , troubling him with their Notions about the necessity of Rebap●●zation ( or being Dipped ) which prov'd injurious to him in his weakness and strange confusion of Mind : The other concerning what I have written of their practising the like upon many others in much like Cases , troubling the weak and unsetled Christians , eagerly urging them to be dipt , and , as I said , making it a Salve for every Sore .

  A plea for anti-pædobaptists, against the vanity and falshood of scribled papers, entituled, The anabaptists anatomiz'd and silenc'd in a public dispute at Abergaveny in Monmouth-shire Sept. 5. 1653. Betwixt John Tombes, John Cragg, and Henry Vaughan, touching infant-baptism. By John Tombes, B.D.

summary:
  His speech , Infants are not uncapable of Baptism , because they have not faith and repentance , because Christ was baptized without repentance , is frivolous , for there is not the same end of Christs Baptism and ours , and therefore though repentance were not required of him , yet it is of us , and the want of it makes infants uncapable of Baptism . This proposition the essence of baptism belongs to infants , may have two senses , 1. That the Baptism of infants is true Baptism , that is , is according to transcendental verity such as hath the nature of Baptism , and in this sense I grant the Proposition is true , and so it is true that an infants eating bread and drinking wine is true eating and drinking the Lords Supper , it hath the essence of it ; but this I did not imagine he meant , and therefore denied his minor , till his next Syllogism shewed he meant it , and then I perceived I should have denied the major .

summary:
  To wch I say , Hereby you appear to be neither Ministers nor Churches of Jesus Christ , but very much to differ from them ; for if abomination reigns in your Churches , then abomination is the Head of your Church ; for that which reigns in the church , is the head of the church ; and if abomination be the head of your church , then is not Christ your head ; but the church of Christ did witness Christ to be their head , and not abomination ; and they were exhorted to grow up into him in all things , which is the Head , even Christ , who is both the Head and the Saviour of his church , which is his body , according to the Scriptures , Eph. 4. 15. Eph. 5. 23. Coll. And surely you in whom abomination reigns , are unclean in the eyes of our God , for he is of purer eyes then to behold iniquity : And therefore vvhilst abomination reigns in your Churches , and in your souls , call not your selves Ministers of Christ , nor Churches of Christ , nor do not say you plead for , and follow his Ordinances ; for the Church of Christ hath an Altar whereof you have no right to eat , neither can you taste of the Supper of the Lord , neither have you any part or lot in this matter ; for your hearts are not upright before the Lord , neither into the City of our Solemnity may you enter ; for into that City can in no wise enter any thing that defiles , or worketh abomination , or loves or makes a lye ▪ You complain in your Epistle , of a light Spirit , living short of the true sight and sence of Gods Majesty in his Churches , and among his Saints .

I confess it is {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} , in the Aorist , ye shall make Disciples , for it must be interpreted by the future , {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} , Baptizing , or by Baptizing in the present tense ; as if Discipling were the end , and Baptizing the means , and required no qualification before ( as learned men with great probability press ) but I will not insist upon that now , But that which you denyed , I prove , that Infants may be Disciples , from [ that place Rom. 15.10 . Hence observe , that every creature in a sense is sensible of the benefit they have by Christ ; but every one in their kind , men come to years , and discretion , are capable of actual understanding , actual profession , actual faith ; Infants only in actu primo , are capable of the first seeds of understanding , of profession of Faith , which will shew it self in the fruits when they come to years ; The rest of our fellow creatures as by a natural instinct they groan for the curse , so by an other instinct , they lift up their heads in expectation of the blessing , and that {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} , with an earnest expectation , or a stretched out neck as the word in the original signifies , Rom. 819.

  Persecution for religion judg'd and condemned in a discourse between an antichristian and a Christian : proving by the law of God and of the land, and by King James his many testimonies, that no man ought to be persecuted for his religion, so he testifie his allegiance by the oath appointed by law.

summary:
  Can any godly wise man think that he that playeth the dissembling Hypocrite with God , that he will do less with men , and will not work any villany , if it were in his power ? and therefore herein you compelling me by tyranny , to bring my body whereunto my spirit cannot be brought , you compel me to hypocrisie with God and man : for if my heart were not faithfull in sincerity to his Majesties Crown and Dignity , as I take God to witness ( before whom I must be condemned or justified ) it is , these courses would rather harden my heart to work villany than otherwise . There is no end in making many books , and much reading is a weariness to the flesh : yet considering how heinous it is in the sight of the Lord to force men and women by cruel Persecutions , to bring their bodies to a Worship whereunto they cannot bring their spirits ; we thought it our duty for Gods Glory , and the reformation thereof in this our own Nation , to publish this little Writing following , wherein is manifestly proved by the Law of God , the Law of our Land , and his Majesties own divers Testimonies , That no man ought to be persecuted for his Religion , be it true of false , so he testifie his faithful Allegiance to the King.

  The rise, growth, and danger of Socinianisme together with a plaine discovery of a desperate designe of corrupting the Protestant religion, whereby it appeares that the religion which hath been so violently contended for (by the Archbishop of Canterbury and his adherents) is not the true pure Protestant religion, but an hotchpotch of Arminianisme, Socinianisme and popery : it is likewise made evident, that the atheists, Anabaptists, and sectaries so much complained of, have been raised or encouraged by the doctrines and practises of the Arminian, Socinian and popish party / by Fr. Cheynell ...

  A discouery of the errors of the English Anabaptists As also an admonition to all such as are led by the like spirit of error. Wherein is set downe all their seuerall and maine points of error, which they hold. With a full answer to euery one of them seuerally, wherein the truth is manifested. By Edmond Iessop who sometime walked in the said errors with them.

summary:
  God did not , neither is he euer said in Scripture to predestinate any to do euill , nor to preordaine any to condemnation , but vpon the foresight of their folly and wickednesse , as the cause and ground thereof : and so the saluation of man is freely and onely in God , in Christ ; and the condemnation of man is meerly and truly of himselfe , without any secret reseruation whatsoeuer : as it is written , O Israel , destruction is of thy selfe , but thy saluation is of God. And although this was the case of Iudas , and of his fellow disciples , who could not relish the words of eternall life , which Christ spake , saying , Except ye eate the flesh of the Sonne of man , and drinke his blood , ye haue no life in you : and the case of those Antichrists , and of those vnfaithfull euill hearted draw-backs , as it hath been the case of many thousands more , and is still at this day ; yet the case of Peter , of Iohn , and the rest of the Apostles was far otherwise , as is now also the case of all regenerate true hearted Christians ; they beleeue to the sauing of the soule ; they eate the flesh of the Sonne of man , and drinke his blood , spiritually by faith , and haue eternall life abiding in them ; they dwell in Christ , and Christ in them ; they are borne of God , and therefore draw not backe , sinne not to perdition , for the seed whereby they are begotten remaineth in them , neither can they so sinne , because they are borne of God ; nay , they are sealed ( by the holy Spirit of promise ) vnto the day of redemption ; they ouercome the world , endure and keepe his words and works vnto the end ; they are the liuely stones of Gods temple , built vpon the chiefe corner stone , who are made a spiritual house , to offer vp spirituall sacrifices acceptable to God by Iesus Christ ; his Church , against which , the gates of hell shall not preuaile ; they are the good ground spoken of , the good trees , which cannot bring forth euill fruit , but good only ; the euill which they doe ( at any time ) is not their fruit , because it proceedeth not from their hearts , but is done vnwillingly , through weaknesse , for in their hearts they serue the law of God.

  A counter-antidote, to purge out the malignant effects of a late counterfeit, prepared by Mr. Gyles Shute ... being an answer to his vindication of his pretended Antidote to prevent the prevalency of Anabaptism, shewing that Mr. Hercules Collins's reply to the said author remains unanswered : wherein the baptism of believers is evinced to be God's ordinance, and the baptized congregations proved true churches of Jesus Christ : with a further detection of the error of pedo-baptism : to which is added, An answer to Mr. Shute's reply to Mr. Collins's half-sheet / by Benjamin Keach.

summary:
  The Text says positively , secret Things belong unto God , not unto us That is , such secret things which God hath not made known to his dearest Children ; for we deny not but some things that were kept secret , are now revealed , and some things also that are made known to the godly , are kept secret from the wicked ; hence 't is , said the Secrets of the Lord are with them that fear him , and he will shew them his Covenant , Psal. 2● . the Old House and Old legal Right of Church-membership is overturned and r●oted out for ever ? And say I , if the Covenant for incoveannting of the fleshly Seed , as such , is abolished , and no new Law is given forth for the bringing in again professing Parents and their Carnal Seed , as such , what is it this Man contends for , yet what a mighty stir he makes about that in Rom. 11.
