An
Answer
to
the
Priests
Defence
.
WHatsoever
is
written
or
acted
against
the
Truth
,
and
those
that
walk
in
it
,
is
but
a
fulfilling
of
the
Scripture
of
Truth
,
which
saith
,
The
way
of
the
wicked
is
darkness
,
and
they
know
not
at
what
they
stumble
,
Prov.
4.
19.
Although
the
stumbling-stone
be
the
Light
,
the
Foundation
of
many
generations
;
in
rejection
of
which
many
go
about
to
build
and
would
be
approved
,
one
of
which
I
shall
here
mention
.
John
Gaskin
,
who
would
Defend
and
Vindicate
the
Priests
,
their
Preaching
,
Practice
and
Maintenance
,
though
contrary
unto
Christ
his
Apostles
,
his
Light
and
his
Words
declared
in
Scripture
,
as
will
appear
.
And
first
,
That
his
Testimony
may
be
received
,
he
begins
in
an
appearance
of
faigned
humility
,
and
begging
of
Pardon
for
his
slips
and
impertenences
and
rudeness
of
stile
,
used
against
the
Quakers
,
saying
,
his
work
is
not
with
eloquency
,
nor
humane
Arts
.
In
the
Examination
of
which
,
we
do
find
that
he
hath
often
slipped
,
and
used
much
impertenency
of
speech
and
rudeness
of
stile
,
and
neither
Eloquency
,
Spirituality
or
true
Humanity
in
his
works
,
many
of
which
being
so
plainly
seen
to
all
,
is
accounted
not
worth
Printing
again
;
but
somthing
here
is
mentioned
,
by
which
all
the
other
may
be
Compared
and
Judged
.
Again
,
divers
Reasons
are
alleadged
as
a
cause
of
Printing
J.
G.
his
Defence
of
the
Priests
,
first
he
saith
,
The
great
Malice
and
Envy
against
the
Ministers
,
and
the
many
Letters
and
Printed
Books
sent
by
Quakers
,
and
the
great
growth
and
encrease
in
Errors
,
and
because
many
of
his
old
Friends
and
Acquaintance
are
(
as
he
saith
)
seduced
from
the
Church
,
and
to
strengthen
such
as
are
wavering
through
ignorance
and
weakness
,
and
to
clear
himself
,
&c.
and
that
it
might
be
seen
&
come
into
many
hands
.
Answ.
He
that
would
accomplish
those
things
before
named
,
to
wit
,
subdue
Malice
and
Envy
,
and
Errors
,
and
instruct
the
ignorant
,
and
him
that
is
out
of
the
way
,
and
strengthen
the
weak
,
he
must
be
such
a
one
as
is
led
by
the
Spirit
,
and
walks
in
the
Light
of
Christ
,
which
is
so
much
hated
and
contemned
by
Priests
and
their
Defenders
;
that
first
those
things
may
be
subdued
in
themselves
,
and
then
Minister
against
them
in
others
;
but
none
of
those
things
can
be
done
by
that
spirit
which
hath
ruled
in
J.
G.
but
that
his
latter
Reasons
,
which
he
saith
,
moved
him
to
Print
,
may
be
fulfilled
;
that
〈…〉
That
it
may
be
seen
,
and
come
into
many
hands
;
and
that
to
thy
own
shame
,
when
they
read
and
consider
thy
unlearned
Lodgick
,
wherein
thou
goest
to
prove
,
that
it
is
not
sufficient
to
bring
us
to
Heaven
to
be
freed
from
fin
;
for
thou
saist
,
A
Horse
hath
no
sin
;
and
so
by
thy
comparison
a
man
without
sin
,
is
but
as
a
Horse
;
so
that
thou
hast
truly
said
,
Thy
work
is
without
Eloquence
or
Humane
Art
:
but
seeing
thou
hast
taken
in
hand
to
put
things
to
publick
view
,
in
thy
next
prove
,
who
those
men
are
upon
the
Earth
that
are
without
sin
,
&
are
not
sufficient
for
the
Kingdom
of
Heaven
;
and
whether
was
it
any
thing
that
did
separate
man
from
God
,
but
sin
?
And
was
not
Christ
onely
made
manifest
to
take
away
sin
?
And
is
not
man
perfectly
Righteous
,
when
his
sin
is
taken
away
and
made
the
Righteousness
of
God
in
him
,
Which
takes
it
away
,
to
wit
,
the
Lamb
of
God
,
which
all
the
Nations
of
them
that
are
saved
,
must
walk
in
his
Light
?
and
it
is
those
that
hate
the
Light
,
and
is
against
freedom
from
sin
,
that
have
no
understanding
of
the
Mysteries
of
God
,
which
is
like
the
Horse
or
Mule
,
whose
mouth
must
be
held
with
Bit
and
Bridle
,
and
are
like
the
Beast
that
perish
;
but
they
that
are
freed
from
sin
,
are
not
so
,
neither
is
the
Horse
their
Comparison
;
but
herein
thou
hast
shamed
thy self
and
thy
Ministers
,
that
they
should
be
so
ignorant
,
as
neither
to
teach
thee
better
Doctrine
before
thou
didst
write
,
nor
correct
thee
when
thou
hadst
written
;
but
to
suffer
such
a
thing
to
appear
in
this
Nation
,
where
Light
is
broken
forth
,
that
the
state
of
freedom
from
sin
,
is
no
better
than
the
state
of
a
Horse
;
but
as
the
Scriptures
saith
,
Your
folly
shall
be
made
manifest
unto
all
men
;
which
Scripture
is
daily
fulfilling
,
and
we
are
satisfied
in
it
.
Again
,
to
●ndicate
the
Priests
of
England
to
be
Ministers
of
the
Gospel
,
thou
bringst
many
Scriptures
,
whereby
thou
wouldst
prove
them
to
be
lawfully
called
,
though
they
be
out
of
the
Power
of
God
,
and
want
the
Power
of
that
which
they
teach
,
page
7.
As
the
sons
of
Eli
(
thou
saist
)
were
lawful
Priests
,
though
they
were
wicked
men
;
and
this
is
a
fit
comparison
,
as
thou
may
read
in
the
first
of
Samuel
.
2.
12.
Now
the
sons
of
Eli
were
sons
of
Belial
,
they
knew
not
the
Lord
;
and
so
according
to
this
,
thou
hast
rightly
compared
the
Priests
;
for
though
they
have
the
name
of
being
called
,
yet
know
they
the
Lord
no
more
than
the
Sons
of
Belial
did
.
Again
in
the
same
page
thou
saist
,
The
Scribes
and
Pharisees
were
called
to
teach
,
and
Judas
was
a
true
Apostle
;
from
which
thou
wouldst
prove
the
Call
of
the
Priests
to
be
a
true
Call
to
the
Ministry
.
Answ.
If
the
Priests
did
Minister
as
truly
as
the
Scribes
and
Pharisees
did
;
that
is
,
read
or
speak
the
Scriptures
truly
,
then
thou
mighest
exhort
the
People
,
to
do
as
the
Priests
say
,
but
not
to
do
as
they
do
;
but
seeing
that
they
do
not
truly
speak
the
Scripture
,
but
by
consequences
pervert
it
,
as
thou
hast
done
in
thy
Book
;
it
is
not
therefore
a
good
Doctrine
,
to
bid
the
People
either
do
as
they
say
,
or
as
they
do
,
because
they
both
say
falsly
&
do
falsly
;
and
as
for
thy
comparing
of
them
to
Judas
,
as
for
his
being
called
and
receiving
part
of
the
Ministry
;
that
,
they
are
not
like
unto
him
in
,
because
as
yet
they
have
no
part
nor
lot
in
that
matter
;
but
for
his
Treachery
and
Covetousness
,
bearing
the
Bag
,
and
betraying
the
Lord
of
Life
,
for
pieces
of
money
,
in
that
,
they
may
be
compared
to
him
.
But
thou
saist
,
The
wickedness
of
the
Person
doth
not
disanul
his
Office
,
being
lawfully
called
thereunto
,
until
he
be
degraded
from
that
Office
;
And
to
prove
it
,
thou
bring'st
several
Scriptures
,
as
Ezekiel
34.
3.
where
the
Shepheards
eat
the
Fat
and
cloath
with
the
Wool
,
and
did
not
feed
the
Flock
;
Esa.
56.
10
,
11.
They
are
dumb
Dogs
that
cannot
bark
,
sleeping
,
lying
down
,
loving
to
slumber
,
they
all
look
to
their
own
way
,
every
one
for
his
gain
from
his
Quarter
,
come
ye
(
say
they
)
I
will
fetch
Wine
,
and
we
will
fill
our selves
with
strong
drink
,
and
to
morrow
shall
be
as
this
day
,
and
much
more
abundant
;
and
these
,
saist
thou
,
were
truly
called
.
From
which
Example
your
Ministers
,
as
thou
thus
provest
,
are
lawfully
called
to
the
work
of
the
Ministry
;
but
when
these
Ministers
and
People
read
thy
Book
,
they
will
not
much
commend
thee
for
such
a
Defence
for
them
;
But
how
dost
thou
prove
that
those
before
mentioned
were
lawfully
called
unto
the
work
of
the
Ministry
,
being
wicked
Persons
?
But
when
thou
read'st
the
Scripture
over
again
,
thou
maist
see
that
those
are
such
as
the
Lord
said
,
did
run
and
he
sent
them
not
,
and
said
,
the
Lord
saith
,
when
he
had
not
spoken
unto
them
,
Jer.
14.
14.
Now
in
this
Vindication
,
thou
hast
not
done
any
thing
of
that
pretented
confuting
E.
B.
his
Book
called
A
Just
and
Lawful
Tryal
of
the
Ministers
and
Teachers
of
this
Age
;
but
hast
rather
confirmed
it
,
for
he
truly
compared
them
unto
those
spoken
of
before
mentioned
,
and
thou
hast
compared
them
,
as
to
the
sons
of
Eli
,
which
were
sons
of
Belial
,
and
knew
not
God
;
and
so
his
Book
yet
stands
in
force
(
for
a
Tryal
to
such
)
unanswered
.
And
again
as
for
thy
pleading
for
Tythes
for
such
as
are
like
the
sons
of
Belial
,
thou
hast
no
Precept
,
Practice
nor
Example
in
Scripture
to
plead
for
such
a
thing
,
neither
as
such
,
nor
as
the
Ministers
of
Christ
.
And
whereas
thou
mention'st
,
Act.
4
and
Act.
5.
and
1
Cor.
9.
4
,
5
,
&c.
These
Scriptures
,
speak
nothing
of
Tythes
,
nor
of
any
Maintenance
to
the
Ministry
;
but
onely
how
that
when
they
had
planted
a
Vineyard
,
they
might
eat
of
the
fruit
;
and
when
they
had
gathered
a
Flock
,
might
eat
of
the
milk
;
and
when
they
had
sown
spiritual
things
(
amongst
a
people
)
they
had
power
to
eat
and
power
to
drink
;
and
so
it
was
ordained
that
they
who
Preached
the
Gospel
should
live
of
the
Gospel
;
but
it
was
not
ordained
that
those
who
Preached
the
Gospel
,
should
live
by
forced
Maintenance
,
or
by
making
Merchandize
of
mens
Goods
and
Estates
,
of
which
the
Priests
in
England
,
for
which
thou
writest
this
Defence
,
are
guilty
.
Again
,
thou
goest
about
to
Defend
the
Prie●ts
sprinkling
of
Infants
,
saying
,
It
is
a
Sign
or
Seal
of
Salvation
,
page
64.
Answ.
If
this
be
true
that
all
Children
thus
sprinkled
with
water
,
have
the
Seal
of
Salvation
by
the
Resurrection
of
Jesus
Christ
,
&
are
by
this
Baptism
made
partakers
of
Grace
,
and
United
into
the
Church
as
Members
of
the
Church
;
Why
do
you
say
both
Priests
and
Professors
,
that
there
is
no
falling
from
Grace
?
have
not
many
been
so
engrafted
into
the
Church
,
and
received
that
Seal
,
whom
you
now
call
Hereticks
and
Deceivers
?
why
do
you
so
confound
one
Principle
with
another
,
for
we
have
been
already
so
ingrafted
into
the
visible
Church
,
and
made
partakers
of
that
Grace
,
which
you
say
,
its
impossible
to
fall
from
.
And
thou
bring'st
Calvins
words
,
which
saith
,
That
although
there
be
but
a
little
water
cast
upon
our
heads
,
yet
notwithstanding
it
is
not
a
vain
figure
,
for
the
Heavens
are
opened
upon
us
,
and
God
speaks
in
it
,
as
it
were
from
Heaven
,
and
Christ
is
there
present
with
his
blood
,
as
Witnesses
of
the
usage
and
operation
of
the
Sacrament
,
and
saith
,
Baptism
is
a
Token
and
Proof
of
our
Cleansing
,
or
a
Seal
and
Character
whereby
God
confirmeth
unto
us
that
all
our
sins
are
cancelled
and
abolished
,
and
that
they
may
never
be
rehearsed
nor
imputed
.
So
then
by
this
he
that
hath
a
little
water
cast
on
his
Head
,
he
hears
God
speak
in
it
,
and
Christ
being
present
with
his
blood
,
washes
away
all
sin
;
and
this
is
a
proof
of
his
Cleansing
.
So
,
why
dost
thou
and
the
Priests
speak
and
write
against
us
,
as
being
fallen
from
Grace
,
or
departed
from
the
Truth
,
seeing
we
have
received
as
well
as
you
,
the
Seal
of
the
Covenant
and
Proof
of
Cleansing
;
and
cannot
fall
from
it
,
if
your
Doctrine
be
true
;
but
as
for
Spinkling
Infants
,
thou
hast
not
brought
one
Scripture
to
prove
it
;
but
saist
Baxter
against
Tombes
hath
proved
it
,
and
quotest
Calvin
and
Beza
,
as
if
their
words
were
plainer
proof
for
thy
purpose
,
then
any
Scripture
;
for
there
is
no
Scripture
without
invented
consequences
,
that
is
a
precept
for
it
;
and
when
thou
hast
wearied
thy self
and
canst
not
prove
it
,
thou
saist
,
whatsoever
may
be
proved
from
the
Scripture
by
consequence
,
to
be
the
scope
and
meaning
of
the
Scripture
,
is
sufficient
proof
,

Again
thou
askest
us
a
question
,
To
shew
thee
one
Command
or
Example
in
the
Scripture
,
for
the
Baptizing
of
those
that
are
growen
up
,
whose
Parents
one
or
both
were
Christians
by
professing
the
Gospel
of
Christ
.
Answ.
If
thou
knew
the
Scriptures
,
or
didst
weigh
thy
own
words
,
it
would
stop
thee
from
asking
such
foolish
&
unlearned
Questions
;
for
thou
thy self
confessest
,
that
those
which
were
growen
up
were
Baptized
,
and
that
they
had
also
received
the
Holy
Ghost
before
they
were
Baptized
;
and
as
for
them
,
or
their
Parents
,
being
called
Christians
by
their
Profession
,
many
beleivers
were
Baptised
and
followed
Christ
,
before
the
name
Christians
was
given
to
them
,
as
thou
may
read
Acts
11.
26.
that
after
much
people
was
gathered
,
and
so
become
Churches
,
they
were
first
called
Christians
at
Antioch
,
so
whatsoever
their
Parents
were
called
by
Profession
,
that
is
nothing
to
that
which
thou
art
about
to
prove
(
sprinkling
of
Infants
)
but
to
conclude
thy
proof
for
Infants
Baptism
,
thou
quotes
Rob.
Brook
,
who
thou
sayst
hath
read
more
Ecclesiasticall
histories
to
find
out
the
rise
and
beginning
of
Baptism
of
Infants
in
the
Church
of
Christ
then
all
the
Quakers
,
and
yet
he
could
ne●er
find
the
beginning
of
it
;
so
here
all
this
while
thou
hast
pleaded
for
that
,
which
thou
knowest
not
,
who
was
the
first
Author
of
;
and
so
thou
hast
run
out
thy self
into
meer
ignorance
:
But
that
thou
maist
be
informed
&
made
wiser
than
thy
Teachers
,
&
thy
learned
Readers
of
Ecclesiastical
Historyes
,
I
shall
shew
thee
the
beginning
of
that
Baptism
,
and
who
first
invented
Holy
Water
,
In
the
reign
of
Pope
Alexander
,
was
Holy
Water
first
invented
,
water
mixed
with
salt
,
and
by
the
saying
of
these
words
,
we
bless
water
mixed
with
salt
among
the
people
,
that
all
men
sprinkled
therewith
may
be
Sanctified
,
and
purified
,
and
this
we
command
all
Priests
to
do
,
as
Plynny
writeth
.
And
hereby
thou
mayest
know
the
first
Father
or
Inventor
of
this
your
practise
;
the
Pope
and
not
the
Apostles
,
so
when
thou
writes
again
do
not
so
undervallew
al
the
Quake's
,
as
thou
hast
done
in
this
thy
book
,
as
to
say
that
they
dare
not
read
Latine
Books
,
nor
have
read
Histories
,
and
thou
sayest
,
we
count
it
a
sinn
for
Ministers
to
learn
Latine
:
But
these
are
but
false
aspersions
,
for
we
do
not
account
it
sinn
to
learn
Latine
,
Greek
,
or
Hebrew
,
neither
are
we
afraid
to
read
them
,
but
we
so
far
do
read
and
know
them
,
that
we
have
found
out
the
Priests
deceipt
,
by
pretending
that
of
the
Tongues
which
they
had
not
;
and
though
you
Preach
and
Practise
that
which
you
know
not
where
it
had
it's
beginning
,
yet
we
know
how
deceit
came
in
,
and
how
it
hath
overspread
you
with
darknesse
and
ignorance
,
and
because
you
see
not
,
therefore
you
judge
us
to
be
blind
,
but
the
Light
of
knowledge
is
arisen
,
in
which
we
see
before
the
Pope
,
his
holy
Water
mingled
with
salt
or
sprinkling
Infants
was
,
and
see
the
beginning
,
and
End
of
those
dark
inventions
,
and
our
Doctrine
,
and
Principles
,
tends
to
the
bringing
of
People
,
to
know
a
true
living
foundation
for
all
their
practices
,
and
that
the
darknesse
of
Popery
,
and
traditions
of
men
may
not
alwayes
keep
people
in
blindnesse
;
to
practise
the
Popes
inventious
,
instead
of
the
Apostles
and
Christ
Doctrine
,
who
by
the
bright
shining
of
his
light
is
leading
people
to
his
Baptism
,
which
is
by
one
spirit
into
one
body
,
by
fire
and
by
the
Holy-Ghost
,
and
such
can
no
longer
be
kept
in
that
,
which
doth
not
so
much
as
wash
away
the
filth
of
the
flesh
,
but
comes
to
the
Answer
of
a
good
Conscience
,
and
witnesseth
the
Baptism
which
saveth
,
as
the
Apostle
Peter
saith
,
1
Pet.
3.
21.
and
such
are
come
to
the
washing
of
Regeneration
,
and
renewing
of
the
Holy
Ghost
.
Again
,
to
fill
up
thy
book
thou
hast
charged
many
false
things
upon
us
,
and
so
findst
thy self
work
,
by
enlarging
thy
lyes
one
after
another
.
As
first
thou
sayst
some
of
us
have
affirmed
that
Christ
did
never
arise
from
the
grave
,
and
that
his
body
is
rotted
within
the
grave
,
and
that
some
of
us
have
made
a
mock
of
his
Doctrine
of
Justification
,
by
the
imputation
and
the
intercession
of
Christ
.
Answ.
These
things
are
thy
own
,
and
were
never
affirmed
by
any
of
us
;
but
on
the
contrary
that
Christ
is
arisen
from
the
dead
and
is
become
our
first
fruits
,
and
by
the
imputation
and
intercession
are
we
Justified
,
and
of
God
is
he
made
unto
us
Justification
and
life
.
Again
thou
saist
,
we
neither
know
nor
understand
what
your
Ministers
preach
.
Answ.
Yes
,
we
both
know
and
understand
,
that
they
preach
lyes
in
the
Name
of
the
Lord
,
and
we
know
and
understand
that
thou
art
going
about
to
make
a
defence
and
vindication
for
them
in
so
doing
.
Again
thou
sayst
the
Quakers
say
,
it
matters
not
whether
a
man
doe
any
good
works
,
seeing
they
make
him
not
good
:
Page
41.
Answ.
This
is
false
,
for
none
of
the
Quakers
ever
said
so
;
for
our
goodnesse
is
of
the
Lord
and
not
of
works
,
and
because
we
have
received
goodnesse
and
mercy
from
him
therefore
doe
we
those
things
that
please
him
,
and
are
obedient
to
his
Will
and
Commands
,
Again
,
Page
(
43.
)
that
we
say
a
man
is
saved
by
hearkning
to
the
light
within
him
and
obeying
the
same
.
Answ.
We
never
said
that
by
hearkning
or
obeying
,
that
man
is
saved
;
but
by
him
which
they
are
to
hear
and
obey
are
they
saved
,
and
without
hearkning
to
his
voyce
,
and
obeying
of
him
to
whom
he
is
preached
,
there
is
no
Salvation
.
Again
Page
47.
Thou
sayst
the
Quakers
instead
of
blessing
and
praying
for
their
Enemies
,
curse
them
Answ.
This
is
false
for
we
blesse
,
and
curse
not
,
but
all
cursed
practices
,
words
,
and
actions
,
we
testifie
against
,
and
for
this
cause
are
we
accounted
thy
enemies
,
because
we
tell
thee
the
truth
.
Again
,
page
(
48.
)
Thou
sai●t
instead
of
abhorring
our selves
,
we
justify
our selves
.
Answ.
This
is
of
the
number
of
the
rest
a
false
accusation
,
for
selfe
is
that
,
which
we
beare
witnesse
against
in
all
,
justifying
nothing
but
what
God
justifieth
,
and
condemning
nothing
but
what
God
condemneth
.
Again
,
page
49.
Thou
sayest
the
Quakers
are
so
proud
to
think
,
and
say
,
they
are
more
perfect
then
the
Apostle
Paul
.
Answ.
When
did
any
of
the
Quakers
say
,
they
were
more
perfect
then
the
Apostle
?
but
it
seems
thy
tongue
is
at
liberty
to
make
a
refuge
for
the
Priests
,
and
fill
a
volume
of
paper
with
lyes
.
Again
,
page
(
51
)
thou
sayst
,
that
many
of
the
Quakers
go
up
and
down
naked
,
to
manifest
that
they
are
as
perfect
,
as
Adam
was
in
Innocency
.
Answ.
Their
going
naked
is
as
a
Sign
unto
thee
,
&
the
Priests
,
whom
the
Lord
is
now
stripping
of
the
sheeps
cloathing
,
that
all
may
see
your
shame
and
nakednesse
,
and
that
which
you
have
been
covered
with
is
but
as
leaves
,
and
a
Formal
Notional
Profession
of
God
,
without
his
Life
,
Power
or
Spirit
,
and
you
must
be
as
naked
from
this
covering
,
before
you
be
Innocent
,
as
ever
any
Quaker
hath
been
from
their
cloaths
.
Again
,
page
(
56.
57
)
thou
sayest
that
we
do
condemn
not
only
the
Churches
now
in
being
;
but
all
that
ever
have
been
;
the
Churches
of
Asia
,
Corin●h
,
Galatia
,
and
Thessalonica
,
&c.
Answ.
This
is
but
an
addition
to
thy
former
lyes
,
for
those
Churches
we
do
own
,
and
all
such
as
do
walk
in
their
life
,
and
are
guided
by
their
Spirit
,
for
the
Church
of
the
Thessalonians
was
in
God
,
1
Thes.
1.
but
thou
hast
appeared
to
be
of
another
Spirit
,
and
hast
manifested
thy self
to
be
a
condemner
of
those
Churches
,
as
well
as
of
us
,
as
in
page
55.
thou
saist
in
the
Church
at
Corinth
that
there
was
such
corrupt
members
among
them
,
as
you
can
scarce
find
in
the
worst
of
your
Congregations
.
So
of
that
which
thou
falsly
chargest
us
,
thou
art
truly
guilty
thy self
,
and
so
hast
condemned
those
Churches
,
and
Iustified
your selves
:
But
what
corruption
was
it
that
was
so
bad
in
those
Churches
,
that
is
not
in
the
worst
of
your
Congregations
.
Again
,
as
a
proof
for
thy
condemning
your
own
Churches
,
thou
brings
Brightmans
,
words
saying
,
behold
whatsoever
is
first
,
that
is
true
,
and
whatsoever
is
later
,
that
is
false
,
Chap.
3.
page
113.
So
that
hereby
,
by
thy
old
Author
and
Logick
,
thou
hast
proved
all
your
Churches
in
England
to
be
false
,
for
the
Churches
of
Asia
,
Corinth
,
Galatia
,
and
Thessalonica
,
these
were
the
first
;
but
the
Churches
in
England
Episcopal
and
Presbytery
,
these
are
latter
,
therefore
false
.
Again
,
pag
60.
Thou
sayest
,
the
Quakers
say
they
are
so
perfect
,
that
they
cannot
grow
in
knowledge
nor
grace
.
Answ.
The
Quakers
never
said
so
,
but
on
the
contrary
,
we
do
grow
in
knowledge
and
in
grace
,
whereby
we
se
,
and
comprehend
,
how
thou
and
the
Preists
do
grow
in
rage
,
enmity
,
and
false
accusations
against
us
,
and
we
know
also
,
that
you
must
fulfil
your
measure
of
Iniquity
,
and
that
all
manner
of
evil
must
be
spoken
against
us
falsly
,
and
so
we
are
satisfied
,
because
we
suffer
not
for
evill
doing
,
but
for
well
doing
.
Again
,
page
61.
Thou
chargest
us
not
to
obey
the
commands
of
Christ
,
but
do
teach
men
to
break
his
commands
;
twice
in
one
page
,
and
again
in
the
next
page
.
Answ.
All
which
doth
but
prove
and
manifest
thy
unbridled
tongue
,
under
which
is
the
poyson
of
Aspes
,
but
if
thou
,
or
any
other
could
in
meeknesse
and
simplicity
prove
,
that
wee
have
either
broken
any
of
his
Commands
,
or
taught
others
to
break
them
;
then
we
would
be
convinced
,
and
thou
should
be
counted
a
reprover
and
instructer
in
righteousnesse
;
but
on
the
contrary
we
see
,
that
bitternesse
and
a
lying
spirit
hath
possessed
thee
,
and
that
thou
only
invents
and
Imagines
false
things
to
fil
up
thy
book
,
which
we
were
never
guilty
of
,
which
never
any
sober
man
,
that
had
but
the
parts
of
a
man
,
would
ever
lay
to
our
charge
,
seeing
,
that
both
our
principles
,
and
practices
,
witnesseth
to
the
contrary
.
Again
,
to
make
thy
Vollume
large
,
in
page
82.
thou
brings
the
same
lyes
over
again
,
charging
us
to
say
,
That
we
are
more
fuller
of
the
Spirit
then
the
Apostles
,
and
of
more
knowledge
,
and
stronger
in
Faith
then
the
Apostles
.
Which
Affirmation
is
thy
own
,
and
not
ours
;
and
therefore
is
returned
back
to
be
Condemned
,
where
it
did
arise
.
In
page
83.
thou
saist
,
The
Quakers
will
have
no
Order
;
and
page
84.
thou
saist
,
We
are
wise
in
our
own
conceit
,
and
that
we
think
our selves
,
wiser
than
Christ
,
or
his
Apostles
,
or
Churches
.
All
which
is
but
multiplying
lyes
,
and
so
not
worth
much
speaking
unto
,
but
onely
that
People
may
see
,
how
thou
hast
run
out
thy self
till
thou
hast
no
order
over
thy
tongue
,
nor
over
thy
Pen
,
which
hast
been
so
long
time
,
as
above
half
a
year
,
in
adding
lye
,
unto
lye
,
to
make
a
Defence
for
the
Priests
;
and
so
it
appears
that
Truth
will
not
defend
them
;
and
thy
Defence
of
lyes
,
will
not
long
defend
them
;
for
God
will
sweep
away
the
refuge
of
lyes
,
and
he
that
loveth
and
telleth
a
lye
(
as
thou
hast
done
)
hath
no
part
in
the
Kingdom
of
God
.
In
page
94.
thou
accusest
Sara
Blackborow
,
as
concerning
a
Woman
speaking
in
the
Church
,
as
if
she
had
said
that
the
flesh
was
the
Woman
;
from
which
thou
concludes
,
That
then
the
flesh
must
be
married
to
Christ
,
and
so
would
make
up
absurdities
from
thy
own
words
.
Answ.
This
is
thy
Ordinary
way
of
proving
Errour
,
first
to
affirm
a
lye
of
thy
own
making
,
charging
it
upon
another
,
and
then
draw
a
Conclusion
,
Answering
this
lye
:
but
Sara
Blackborow
,
nor
any
other
of
the
Quakers
,
have
ever
said
,
that
the
flesh
was
the
Woman
:
but
that
which
Sara
Blackborow
said
,
was
,
That
the
flesh
was
to
be
silent
,
and
that
which
spoke
in
thee
,
was
that
which
was
silly
,
and
was
ever
learning
;
but
when
any
doth
Pray
or
Prophesie
,
whether
man
or
woman
,
and
speak
forth
that
which
God
hath
made
manifest
;
that
is
,
The
Spirit
of
the
Father
in
both
,
and
is
not
to
be
quenched
,
for
there
is
neither
male
nor
female
,
but
all
is
one
in
Christ
and
in
the
Spirit
,
from
which
Preaching
and
Prophesying
proceeds
;
and
the
Promise
is
,
that
daughters
as
well
as
sons
shall
Prophesie
:
And
in
the
Church
at
Corinth
they
might
all
Prophesie
one
by
one
,
that
all
might
hear
,
and
all
might
be
edified
;
but
thou
saist
,
Those
women
that
did
Prophesie
,
it
was
not
in
the
Church
;
Where
then
did
they
Prophesie
,
if
not
in
the
Church
?
Or
what
was
the
Church
?
For
it
is
written
,
1
Thes.

1.
That
the
Church
is
in
God
;
And
where
must
a
woman
be
when
she
Prayes
or
Prophesies
,
if
not
in
the
Church
which
is
in
God
?
And
where
was
it
that
Philips
four
Daughters
prophesied
,
whether
in
the
Church
or
out
of
it
?
And
where
was
it
that
that
Priscilla
did
Minister
,
whether
in
the
Church
or
out
of
it
?
And
Pheba
,
a
servant
of
the
Church
,
whether
she
might
not
Pray
nor
Prophesie
in
it
?
And
Priscilla
,
who
was
a
helper
of
Paul
in
Christ
,
and
laboured
with
him
in
the
Gospel
,
Rom.

Might
not
Pray
or
Prophesie
in
the
Church
?
But
now
to
speak
the
Truth
in
plainness
to
thee
,
that
which
thou
Cavel'st
against
;
Is
not
the
woman
nor
the
man
,
simply
considered
,
But
it
is
the
Spirit
speaking
in
either
,
which
thou
cannot
bear
;
for
where
the
Spirit
of
the
Father
speaks
in
man
or
woman
,
thou
sets
thy
self
against
it
to
oppose
it
.
And
thou
saist
,
Susan
Bond
said
,
Christ
was
the
Husband
,
and
of
him
they
were
to
be
taught
;
and
thou
saist
,
Sara
Blackborow
did
like
the
Answer
well
.
Answ.
Who
could
like
it
ill
?
Was
not
that
a
good
Answer
?
And
thou
thy self
must
own
Christ
to
be
thy
Teacher
,
and
learn
of
him
,
before
ever
God
will
make
use
of
thee
in
his
service
or
work
,
though
the
Priests
may
make
use
of
thee
for
their
Defender
.
Again

thou
saist
,
We
deny
that
any
should
either
Rule
in
the
Church
,
or
have
any
Honour
.
Answ.
No
,
we
do
not
deny
the
Head
of
the
Church
,
which
is
Christ
,
to
Rule
,
and
to
have
all
the
honour
;
but
we
deny
any
Priest
to
bear
Rule
by
his
means
,
or
to
receive
the
Honour
due
unto
Christ
;
for
we
see
they
are
such
as
seek
Honour
of
one
another
,
and
not
the
Honour
which
belongs
to
God
onely
.
Now
whereas
thou
goes
about
to
Vindicate
,
That
wicked
men
may
sing
Psalmes
;
and
to
prove
it
,
makes
this
Argument
,
If
any
be
merry
,
let
him
sing
Psalms
;
Now
wicked
men
are
merry
as
well
as
godly
,
though
they
haue
no
true
cause
,
Ergo
.
page
87.
Answ.
This
Logick
doth
but
prove
,
thy
own
ignorance
and
darknesse
,
&
not
the
thing
intended
by
thee
,
as
we
shall
shew
;
but
first
to
Answer
thee
with
thy
own
contradiction
;
Dost
thou
not
say
in
the
next
words
before
this
Argument
,
that
the
chief
ground
(
or
cause
)
is
,
the
Moral
duty
lying
upon
all
men
by
the
commandment
of
God
?
Now
if
wicked
men
,
do
sing
Psalmes
by
the
commandment
of
God
,
do
they
do
it
without
a
true
cause
?
Is
not
the
Commandment
of
God
,
a
true
cause
of
any
action
to
them
which
are
commanded
by
him
?
But
in
this
thou
art
but
building
again
that
which
thou
hast
destroyed
,
and
so
makes
thy self
a
transgressor
,
and
so
let
thy
own
confusion
correct
thee
;
In
the
same
page
thou
sayst
,
Thou
wilt
make
good
what
thou
hast
written
by
Scripture
;
Come
then
here
we
shall
try
thee
;
Where
in
the
Scripture
dost
thou
prove
,
that
wicked
men
may
be
merry
and
sing
Psalmes
,
though
they
have
no
true
cause
?
but
on
the
contrary
hast
thou
not
read
in
the
Scriptures
,
Ps.
69.
That
David
was
the
song
of
the
drunkards
:
and
if
drunkards
now
in
Taverns
and
Ale-houses
say
&
sing
,
I
am
not
puft
in
mind
,
I
have
no
scornful
eye
;
and
say
,
That
as
a
weaned
child
they
have
behaved
themselves
;
by
thy
Argument
,
if
they
be
never
so
wicked
,
yet
,
because
they
are
merry
in
their
wickedness
,
they
may
s●ng
lyes
in
the
Name
of
the
Lord
;
&
by
thy
Argument
be
Justified
,
as
men
doing
onely
that
which
God
had
commanded
them
.
And
again
thou
maist
read
in
Scripture
.
Joel
1.
5.
that
such
wicked
men
and
drunkards
were
called
to
weep
and
bowl
,
for
their
misery
was
coming
upon
them
;
so
the
Prophet
did
not
call
them
to
sing
Davids
Psalms
,
because
they
were
merry
in
their
wickednesse
,
as
thou
hast
done
;
and
again
thou
may
read
in
Amos.

3.
That
the
songs
of
the
Temple
shall
be
turned
into
bowling
,
and
these
wicked
men
in
the
Temple
were
Merry
,
and
by
thy
argument
might
sing
Psalmes
or
spirituall
Songs
;
but
the
Prophet
saith
instead
of
singing
they
must
bowl
and
come
to
bitter
Lamentation
;
&
praise
is
not
comely
in
the
mouth
of
Fooles
,
as
the
wise
man
saith
who
is
taught
of
God
,
but
the
mouth
of
a
Fool
poureth
forth
his
folly
,
and
the
instruction
of
Fools
is
folly
,
Pro.
16.
22.
And
this
Script●●●e
we
se
fulfilled
in
thee
;
for
thy
instructing
of
Fooles
and
wicked
men
,
because
they
are
merry
in
their
wickednesse
,
they
may
sing
Psalmes
as
a
Command
from
God
;
and
herein
I
have
answer'd
a
fool
according
to
his
foly
,
least
he
should
be
wise
in
his
own
conceit
;
and
although
David
calleth
all
Gods
host
,
and
all
living
things
made
and
created
to
praise
the
Lord
,
the
Sun
,
Moon
,
and
Stars
,
the
Heavens
,
and
the
Waters
,
the
Earth
,
the
Dragons
and
the
Deeps
,
Fire
,
Haile
,
Snow
,
and
Vapor
,
Stormes
and
Wind
fulfilling
his
word
,
Mountains
and
Hills
,
and
fruitfull
Trees
,
all
Beasts
,
Cattle
,
Creeping
things
,
and
flying
Fowles
,
Kings
of
the
earth
,
and
all
People
,
&c.
And
now
as
David
was
in
the
Covenant
,
he
saw
the
Creatures
as
they
stood
in
their
Covenant
,
uncorrupted
:
and
so
in
a
fit
capacity
to
praise
the
Lord
,
only
man
degenerated
and
unrestored
again
into
the
Covenant
,
he
saw
it
was
not
comely
for
him
to
praise
,
nor
to
pray
,
nor
to
take
Gods
words
in
his
mouth
,
nor
to
speak
of
his
Statutes
;
so
far
,
from
Justifying
thy
Argument
,
that
wicked
men
because
they
are
merry
therefore
may
sing
Psalmes
,
but
when
the
Priests
or
people
,
takes
notice
of
thy
book
,
and
what
Logick
thou
hast
learned
to
jutify
the
wicked
in
their
Singing
,
as
well
as
the
godly
,
and
how
thou
hast
shamed
both
thy self
and
them
,
with
such
foolish
confusion
,
and
University
Logick
,
its
like
they
will
set
thee
no
more
awork
,
to
defend
and
vindicate
them
with
such
weapons
.
Again
,
page

thou
saist
,
that
it
is
said
by
the
Prophet
prov.

that
the
ploughing
of
the
Ploughman
is
sinn
.
Answ.
Here
thou
hast
belyed
the
Prophet
,
and
perverted
his
words
,
as
thou
hast
done
the
Quakers
;
for
the
Prophers
words
is
these
,
an
high
look
,
and
a
proud
heart
,
and
the
ploughing
of
the
wicked
is
sin
;
but
he
doth
not
say
that
the
ploughing
of
the
Ploughman
is
sin
;
But
who
can
escape
the
envy
of
slandrous
tongues
,
which
accounteth
lying
no
sin
,
if
thereby
they
can
accomplish
their
own
wicked
ends
?
but
the
truth
hath
found
thee
out
and
made
thee
manifest
,
and
the
Priests
had
better
a
wanted
thy
defence
,
then
to
be
so
shamed
by
it
;
as
they
will
be
,
unless
they
deny
both
thee
and
it
.
Again
,
in
the
same
page
thou
saist
,
to
hear
,
read
,
pray
,
sing
psalmes
,
and
giving
of
thanks
,
they
are
works
morally
good
being
Commanded
by
the
Lord
▪
but
the
person
doing
them
,
being
not
justified
,
they
are
not
good
to
him
:
for
whatsoever
is
not
of
Faith
is
sin
.
Answ.
This
is
another
piece
of
confusion
,
and
charging
of
God
foolishly
and
falsly
,
to
say
that
the
Lord
commands
those
things
to
be
done
,
and
those
he
commands
to
do
them
,
in
doing
of
which
it
is
not
good
to
them
but
sin
;
Where
hast
thou
learned
?
or
where
dost
thou
read
of
such
a
doctrine
,
that
wicked
men
are
commanded
of
God
,
to
do
such
things
,
which
in
doing
is
not
good
to
them
but
sin
?
Is
God
or
Christ
then
the
Minister
of
sin
,
or
commands
a
man
to
conmit
sin
?
Is
not
this
Blasphemy
&
Error
in
the
highest
degree
?
And
how
daest
thou
speak
of
God
,
or
of
his
Commands
,
or
of
his
Obedience
,
seeing
thou
thus
Blasphems
him
in
his
Worship
?
but
this
shall
remain
as
a
Testimony
against
thee
;
many
other
lyes
and
abominations
hast
thou
spoken
against
us
,
and
against
God
and
his
Truth
;
a
few
of
which
is
sufficient
to
make
thee
manifest
.
In
page
(
107.
)
thou
saist
,
our
Quaking
fits
,
many
are
of
opinion
that
they
are
diabolicall
,
by
a
kind
of
witcheraft
,
and
said
,
thou
hast
heard
strange
relations
of
Enchanted
Ribbons
,
and
giving
drink
after
,
&c.
Answ.
Upon
the
same
account
,
many
was
of
opinion
,
that
Christ
had
a
Devill
,
and
was
a
Deceiver
,
and
that
the
Apostles
were
Ring-leaders
of
Sects
,
&
Heresyes
,
and
such
strange
relations
might
have
been
heard
concerning
the
Apostles
in
their
dayes
;
and
it
seemes
to
thee
,
that
such
reports
is
sufficient
proofe
,
but
this
is
contrary
,
to
what
thou
hast
said
in
an
other
place
,
that
thou
wouldst
speake
nothing
,
but
according
to
what
was
written
in
the
Scriptures
;
And
whereas
thou
tells
of
Enchanted
Ribbons
,
Is
there
some
Ribbons
that
are
enchanted
?
it
may
be
thou
meaneth
enchanting
Ribbons
,
but
if
so
,
where
didst
thou
ever
know
such
a
thing
,
and
for
proofe
,
thou
names
Gilpin
and
Toldervyes
books
,
which
neither
of
them
doth
relate
such
a
thing
,
so
that
it
is
thy
enmity
&
wickednesse
,
for
there
was
never
any
such
thing
among
the
Quakers
,
as
giving
Ribbans
,
and
drink
after
;
but
that
charge
thou
might
haue
laid
upon
the
Priests
and
their
Defenders
,
for
there
are
the
most
ribbons
used
&
justified
,
till
in
pride
they
are
become
the
Servants
of
the
Devill
,
and
there
is
the
giving
of
drink
one
to
another
untill
they
be
enflamed
,
and
made
unsensible
of
God
and
of
his
fear
,
by
which
they
are
enchanted
,
and
bewitched
,
that
they
doe
not
obey
the
Gospell
,
but
are
given
up
to
their
owne
hearts
Lusts
,
and
thereby
are
become
the
Servants
of
sin
and
so
free
from
righteousnesse
.
Lastly
,
not
only
we
,
have
been
falsly
accused
in
these
and
many
other
things
by
thee
;
but
even
the
spirit
of
God
,
which
is
the
Fountain
of
cleannesse
,
is
by
thee
charged
and
accused
to
be
corrupt
,
an
defiled
page
33.
by
passing
through
mans
corrupt
nature
(
thou
saist
)
becomes
defiled
.
Answ.
Is
not
this
a
sin
against
the
holy
Ghost
,
which
shall
never
be
forgiven
,
to
charge
the
spirit
to
be
corrupt
and
defiled
?
And
in
this
thou
also
chargeth
both
the
Father
,
and
the
Son
,
to
be
corrupt
&
defiled
,
for
they
are
one
,
so
that
if
one
of
them
be
corrupt
,
the
other
is
corrupt
also
,
and
as
the
spirit
is
in
the
Saints
,
so
is
the
Father
in
them
,
and
the
Son
,
the
hope
of
their
glory
,
and
none
of
them
are
defiled
by
mans
corrupt
nature
.
But
there
is
that
in
man
,
by
which
that
which
corrupteth
his
nature
is
wrought
out
,
so
that
man
is
made
clean
and
undefiled
by
the
spirit
,
and
that
spirit
is
not
made
corrupt
and
defiled
by
Man
;
for
that
is
contrary
to
the
Scripture
,
to
say
,
that
by
mans
nature
the
spirit
is
defiled
;
but
to
say
,
that
by
the
spirit
mans
nature
is
cleansed
,
and
sanctified
,
this
is
according
to
the
Scripture
:
but
it
is
the
work
of
Sathan
and
his
Messengers
to
Blasphem
God
in
his
Temple
,
and
so
account
his
spirit
(
by
which
he
leadeth
into
all
truth
)
an
unholy
thing
;
and
so
thou
art
of
the
number
of
them
,
which
account
the
blood
,
and
Spirit
of
the
Covenant
an
unholy
thing
;
and
we
seeing
and
knowing
these
things
,
as
concerning
our selves
we
are
satisfied
,
because
the
Servant
is
not
abo●e
his
Master
;
for
if
the
Master
be
called
Belzebub
,
and
the
spirit
a
defiled
or
corrupt
thing
,
well
may
wee
be
called
Deceivers
,
(
although
we
be
true
)
and
falsly
accused
with
all
manner
of
evil
,
according
to
our
Masters
words
;
and
these
things
we
should
bear
in
patience
and
silence
,
as
to
our selves
,
but
as
in
respect
unto
others
,
we
are
constrained
,
by
the
uncorrupted
and
undefiled
Spirit
of
the
Lord
,
to
testifie
to
the
world
,
that
their
deeds
are
evil
,
and
to
manifest
the
workings
of
Sathan
in
the
Mystery
of
Iniquity
,
which
now
already
worketh
in
many
,
justifying
the
wicked
,
and
condemning
the
Just
,
which
is
abomination
to
the
Lord
,
which
his
Spirit
will
not
bear
unreproved
;
and
not
onely
the
Just
men
are
condemned
and
falsly
accused
,
but
also
the
Just
undefiled
,
Eternal
,
and
unerring
Spirit
,
is
accused
by
him
,
who
makes
a
defence
for
the
Priests
in
their
unrighteous
Practices
and
Wages
;
so
by
the
plain
Evidence
and
Demonstration
of
Truth
,
he
being
made
manifest
to
be
an
Enemy
to
God
,
and
by
his
wicked
works
and
words
,
I
do
Judge
him
not
worthy
of
much
more
Answer
to
his
Book
;
and
also
I
do
Judge
him
not
able
to
prove
any
of
the
false
Accusations
charged
in
it
against
us
,
some
of
which
is
herein
returned
unto
him
again
,
which
when
he
doth
but
really
weigh
it
and
consider
,
it
may
be
,
he
will
sit
down
in
silence
,
and
wait
,
if
there
may
be
hope
of
his
forgiveness
for
this
(
not
onely
ignorance
,
but
)
wilfulness
,
charging
us
,
the
Spirit
of
God
,
and
his
people
,
with
that
,
of
which
they
were
never
guilty
;
for
we
are
in
the
Truth
,
unto
which
every
tongue
shall
confess
,
and
by
which
every
Opposer
shall
become
silent
before
the
Lord
;
and
in
the
Spirit
of
this
Truth
do
we
desire
not
the
Di●●ruction
,
but
the
Repentance
and
Forgiveness
of
our
Enemies
;
And
those
that
do
abuse
us
and
wrong
us
ignorantly
,
their
sins
will
be
sooner
blotted
out
,
then
those
who
wilfully
have
set
their
hearts
and
tongues
to
work
wickedness
,
for
they
shall
receive
the
greater
condemnation
.
The
knowledge
and
life
of
truth
,
is
that
we
desire
all
people
may
come
into
,
that
by
it
the
power
of
the
wicked
one
may
be
taken
away
,
which
so
furiously
worketh
in
the
hearts
of
those
,
which
receives
not
the
Truth
in
the
love
of
it
,
but
brings
forth
floods
of
enmity
&
bitterness
against
the
Lambs
of
Christ
;
but
the
love
of
God
which
thinketh
no
evil
,
neither
doth
any
unto
another
,
is
that
which
when
it
is
felt
&
obeyed
in
all
,
will
dry
up
those
floods
from
off
the
face
of
the
Earth
,
that
there
may
be
a
place
of
Rest
for
the
Redeemed
and
Elect
Seed
,
who
onely
hath
the
Lord
and
his
light
for
their
habitation
,
and
the
Sword
of
the
Spirit
,
which
is
the
Word
of
God
,
for
their
Armour
and
Defence
.
THE
END
