hereby reprove and judge that Jealous Rending and seperate spirit and them meaning J. W. and J. S. and their seperate Company and that by the spirit and power of God and we warn all unto whom this comes to beware of the said J. S. and J. W. whose way at present is not the way of peace Whosoever peruseth the said paper may percieve it in some respect much like the Bull given forth by Pope LEO the tenth Anno 1520. against M. Luther but yet in one m●in poin● greatly differs For in the Bull against M. L. there are 42 Articles of Doctrine condemned and ●…e Bull ordered to be read in every place to the intent that the ma●ter for which he was prosecuted as an Heretick might be known but in the aforesaid Paper subscribed by C. M. c. there is no mention of any particular Doctrine or Vitiousness in life for which they are persecuted by their brethren but instead thereof these general Recriminations viz. That they have evil designes and persevere in them by word writing and Practice c. See also more on this Subject in the second part of my Christian Quaker pag. 80. Had G. W's brethren whose practice against J. W. and J. S. he hath vindicated been but as plain as Leo was the spiritual Cheat would have long since been more obvious and though G. W. in his Judgment Fixed pag. 16.17 takes notice of the above comparison yet amidst all his pretences to Divinity and Law the greatest arguments brought by him to invalidate the force of the said comparison are these ensuing Questions viz. And is not this matter of fact to set up a Standard of seperation Where then is his comparison between Pope LEO the tenth and VS and how was the Pope's Proceedings more just For these impertinent questions I may reckon with him a little more anon Next take an instance of one amongst many more of his Notorious Lyes pag. 59. he thus saith Seeing W. R. esteemes the Popes yea even the worst of them good enough to bring us in comparison with and to cite and make them as instance against us as Leo the tenth pag. 6.22 Pope Paul the third pag. 19. and 28. Julius the third pag. 31. it may not be amiss to give some description of these Popes according to a late History or Abstract of the lives of the Popes printed Anno 1679. and then G. W. proceeds to signify that Leo was rankt amongst Athiests That Paul the Third was rankt amongst Magicians Conjurers Warryers Blood-suckers Paracides Jmpoysoners and Favourites of Whores That Julius the Third was rankt amongst Sodomites adding instances to prove them such and having so done doth pag. 55. thus query What worse Persons upon Earth could our Adversary have compared G. F. and our Friends unto or brought in comparison against them in Church Proccedings or Spiritual Censures Behold his horrid Injustice and Envy Instead of a large Comment on this notorious Falshood I shall transcribe what I wrote in my seventh Part of the Christian Quaker wherein the Names of Pope Paul and Pope Julius are inserted and leave G. W. to be further corrected by his Brethren according to his merit Pag. 19. What difficulty there may be for one of the Laity to have a just Hearing and Redress in Rome upon a complaint to be made against the Pope I will not pretend to be fully acquainted with yet this I know that a Cry for Justice when relating to G. F. hath not been hearkened to in London by one Part of the people called Quakers unto whom I have addressed See Preface and Postcript to the Christian Quaker in 5. Parts 'T is well if the Endeavours of the Penman meaning the unnamed Author of the Accuser c. who peradventure may expect Advance in the Goverment contended for be not as great to keep off the stroke of Justice when relating to G. F. as Card. Scombergs were to keep off the Reformation from the Court of Rome in the dayes of Pope Paul the Third not knowing how soon it might be his own turn to ascend the Papal Chair In the 27th page I cited an Agreement or Order made at a Quarterly-Meeting at Ralph Fretwell's in Barbadoes the 23d day of the 10th Month 1680 in these words I desire to give up my whole Concern if required both Temporal and Spiritual unto the Judgment of the Spirit of God in the Men and Women's-Meetings as believing it to be more according to the Universal Wisdom of God than any particular Measure in my self or any Particular's with which the Men's and Women's Meetings have not Unity On this occasion I signified that G. F. c. wrote to the Persons concerned and did not only call them Dear Friends but concluded That the Spirit of God hath given them Life and will bring them to the City of the Living God the Heavenly Jerusalem and Church of the First Born which are written in Heaven And so subscribes in these words Your dear Friends and Brethren in our Lord Jesus in whom you have Life Peace and Salvation On these words unto which G. F. and G. W. subscribed their Names I thus observed This shows no Dislike to the said Paper nor yet Dis-unity with the Persons and yet they in other parts seem to dislike the wording thereof for in their Letter to them they also thus say Now Dear Friends if this Order or Judgment should come into the hands of any Apostates or Opposers they will make ill work with it and say we set up an Arbitrary Power over Men's Consciences and Properties in an Implicit Faith and Submission without inward Conviction c. and that it was like the Scotch-Covenant Then I made this further Observation This shews their sense what Apostates may say but doth not declare that such their Saying might be rational And why so That 's a Secret I will not pretend to be revealed to me but yet I might have inserted the Case amongst the aforesaid Instances wherein they were at Vnion or Disunion with the Papistical Party doubtless in one of them I might have hit the Mark. For I well remember that Petro Soave Polano in his History of the Council of Trent informs these latter Ages that in the days of Pope Paul the Third great Zeal was raised in some that a Reformation might begin in his own House meaning the Court of Rome and the Ministers most immediately relating to him And though he did not positively contradict a Reformation when a true Representation of matters worthy thereof were presented before him yet the Policy of that day admitted of no real Reformation but instead thereof only a meer noise of what was represented as worthy of Amendment was permitted to go abroad in Germany c amongst the discontented Pa●ty expecting a Reformation but no Prosecution unto a real and thorow Amendment And why so This amongst others was one express reason That it would give occasion to the Lutherans to brag that
