they in him shall Rule the Nations with a Rod of Iron and break them to pieces as a Potters Vessel And every tongue that riseth up in Judgment against them shall they condemn And p. 33. he brings in God saying yea I will never rest till I have made all their Foes their Foot-stool And howbeit the Powers of the Earth are of me I will utterly subvert and overturn them and bring the Kingdoms and Dominions and the Greatness of the Kingdom under the whole Heaven into the hands of the Holy Ones of the most High and give unto my Son and his Saints to Reign over all the Earth and to take all the Rule and Authority and Power that shall stand up against my Son in his Saints There is the Mystery couch'd in the last words In his Saints that is the Light within which they call Christ in the Quakers And to which they ascribe all that is said of Christ in the Scriptures Edw. Burrough writing from Dublin in Ireland to the Quakers in England in the Year 1655. Directs thus To the Camp of the Lord in England This is p. 64. of his Works And he was then for their beginning of their War to Conquer the whole Earth He Exhorts them p. 67 in their Conquests to be very severe and bloody to spare none Give the great Whore says he that is Rome double into her bosom as she hath loved blood so give her blood and dash her Children against the stones This was for all the Popish Countrys and those who partook of their Abominations which in their Account were all the Protestants too whom they in contempt called Professors and All sects in these Nations whom Burrough includes in his Epist 10 the Reader p. 1 and declares War against them But were the Heathens then to escape No their Conquest and Empire was to be Vniversal their Heirship did extend to the uttermost parts of the Earth For thus he goes on Vt supra Let none of the Heathen Nations nor their Gods escape out of your hands but lay waste the fenced Cities and tread down the high walls for we have proclaimed open War betwixt Michael our Prince and the Dragon And cursed be every one that riseth not up to the help of the Lord against the mighty Put on your Armour and gird on your sword and lay hold on the spear and march into the Field and prepare your selves to the Battle for the Nations doth defie our God and saith in their hearts who is the God of the Quakers that we should fear him and obey his voice Our Enemies are whole Nations and multitudes in number of a Rebellious People that will not come under our Law a great Fault indeed stand upon your feet and Appear in your terror as an Army with Banners and let the Nations know your power and the stroke of your hand Cut down on the right hand and slay on the left and let not your eye pitty nor your hand spare c. And in his Trumpet of the Lord sounded which he calls An Alarum and Preparation for War against all Nations where Gog and Magog resideth Printed 1656. p. 32. he says to the Quakers your despised Government shall rule over Kingdoms and your laws shall all the Nations of the earth become subject unto And p. 41. He expostulates with God When wilt thou appear to lay their honour in the dust of Confusion Thy Host and Chosen waiteth for a Commission from thee to do thy will And thy Camp waiteth to see the honour of Kings and Princes overthrown by thee c. But it seems the Quakers would make use of the swords of the wicked till their own were ready Therefore in the Year 1659. they had great Hopes in the Rebel English Army who having Destroy'd the King and the Church in these Kingdoms Burrough Hoalloos them in his Epist to them p. 537. upon Italy and Spain and all the Popish Countrys For what are these few poor Islands says he that you have run through in comparison of the great Part of Christendom in which Idolatry do abound wherefore Hew down the Tops strike at the Branches make way that the Ax may be laid to the root of the Tree that your sword and the sword of the Lord may neither leave Root nor Branch of Idolatry to avenge the blood of the Guiltless thro' all the Dominions of the Pope the blood of the Just it crys thro' Italy and Spain and it would be your honour to be made use of by the Lord in any degree in order to this matter They were to be made use of in some degree to clear the way for the Quakers who were at last to have All. Now whether these have not out-stript their Forerunner Judas and his Galileans I leave the Reader to judge And Proceed to the next VII The Seventh and last Point which I intend to speak of is now come and is so near of kin to the last that I shall dispatch it quickly It is Their stiffness in not taking off their Hats or giving Men their Civil Titles Ther needs no Proof of this as to the Quakers for they All own it it is their Liscriminating Character And now to find a Precedent for them in Antiquity the same Judas Galilaeus is ready at hand Josephus tells Antiq. Jud. l. 18. c. 2. that he was the Head of a Fourth Sect among the Jews which he himself like George Fox Founded And that as he acknowledg'd but one Lord and Master that is God so as a consequence of this he would pay honour to none other and so Obstinate were his Sect in this That as Joseph tells in the chapt last quoted they would rather expose themselves their Children and Relations to the most cruel Torments than call any mortal Man Lord or Master So that George Fox has not the Honour of this noble Invention as he would make us believe in his Journal p. 24. where he says When the Lord sent me forth into the world He forbad me to put off my Hat to any And I was required to Thee and Thou all men and women He would call none Lord or Master more than Judas And their Inspirations came from the same Author the Spirit of Pride under the Guise of Humility so that in this and all the other Instances before mentioned George Fox is depriv'd of the Glory of being an Original and to be No man's Copy as is Boasted of him in the Preface to his Journal p. 31. I do not suppose that he knew a tittle of these Ancient Precedents only Good wits Jump'd and so exactly as shews That they were all Taught by the same Master The CONCLVSION 1. What Application now needs to be made from all that has been said to the Quakers The thing shews it self Let them not call it Malice and Envy and what not to oppose them We oppose the Primitive Heresies in them We cannot but oppose them Unless we would Condemn the Apostles
