A88837	The lip of truth opened, against a dawber with untempered morter. A few words against a book, written by Magnus Bine priest, in the county of Sussex, which he calls, The scornful quakers answered, &c. But he himself is found the scorner, and the lyer, charging me with things I never spoke, nor never entered into my heart to speak. / Tho. Lawson.

and imaginations but thy thoughts and thy fancy as thou calls it and thy imaginations and thy lies and thy slanders thy covetous practises all come out of one seat even the earth which is rejected of God and of all that know God and keep in this crosse but thy practises by Scripture prove where did ever Christ give Davids experiences to the world to sing in Meeter where did the Apostles give Davids conditions to the world to sing in Meeter who were to teach people to observe all that Christ commanded them where did any of the gathered Churches use Meeter singing but thy flock would have it and thou arts a man-pleaser for thy two parish Tyth sake and Sternhold and Hopkins their invention of Meeter singing is become a dainty dish for Dives and with the same mind that you will lye cozen covet jeer and scorn with the same mind you will offer up Sternhold and Hopkins invention to the living God and this is part of your will worship and worse and worse thou grows for against this invention thou hast witnessed but for thy Idols sake thou wilt give Dives all his dainties thy blind hearers their customs and that 's the way to make thy covenant strong with them but it is but with death and hell and wo is the end of it but the singing with the Spirit we own the singing of the Ransomed we own but in the Pit and Grave you are and thou makes them erre Thou saies There 's the Appetite and that 's the seat of desires lustings and longings after things whether good or evil page 108. I answer Thou art again in the Ranters line and would perswade people that all desires lustings and longings after things whether good or evil comes out of one seat Oh that ever England who hath been so crowned with the Mercies of the Lord should be led with such enchanters as thee Surely surely as they come out of the pit which you and they are faln into they cannot but cry out We have trusted in lying Prophets and we have given our mony for that which is not bread thou art in the flesh where thy lustings and longings after evil is and that is thy seat but Christ is the light of the world who lighteth every one that cometh into the world Joh. 1.9 and this light who owns desires are begot after the good and to escape the evil without me you can do nothing saith Christ and this I leave with thee to prove that all desires lustings and longings after things whether good or evil come out of one seat and that is Appetite Again thou makes a long Rabble and tells of the reason will the seat of doing good or evil fancy the seat of thoughts and imaginations and of the appetite the seat of lusting and longing after things whether good or evil c and when the Lord comes thou saies all these are healed and made well and they are all brought into the life of God page 108. I answer O friends consider these his sayings and blasphemous speeches who is telling of healing the will the fancy the thoughts and imagination the appetite the lusting and longing after good or evil and of bringing them into the life of God when as no unclean thing can dwell with him surely he imagins God to have a heart like his own else he would never publish it of bringing the very spring of evil thoughts and imaginations lustings after evil all into the life of God Surely you that are his Hearers except you be seared and past feeling as he is you cannot read these wicked blasphemous speeches but tremble and be ashamed and know this that if you receive these things for truth you are given up to believe lyes and that is a woful judgement Thou bids me take thy thoughts of heaven and hell and use them at my pleasure page 109. I answer thy thoughts are altogether vain and thy words blasphemous so therewith heaven thou must not enter and the lake the deceiver must go into and the deceived who set up thy thoughts but them I deny and thee also Thou saies Among the Saints there is a great variety of opinions and judgments concerning the binding and loosing of Satan page 111. I answer This is a lie the Saints in light grow up in the life where Sects Schisms Heresies and divers Opinions be not here the one heart mind and soul is known here the Angel the great Chain is known and the binding of Satan is rightly known but thou and them thou cals Saints live in rage imaginations and violence so are Heathen so one cries up one thing and another the contrary and the many Opinions among you is found and such vain talkers as thou and thy raging imagining Saints as thou cals them are wrangling about the binding of Satan without you how it shall be and when it shall be in the mean time he is loose within you some rage violence imaginations blasphemous speeches covetous practises variety of opinions but we know the Kingdom which is not divided where rage violence diversity of opinions and covetous persons come not so we witness against you and your Kingdom which is divided where the many Sects Opinions Heresies and Blasphemies are hatched and brought forth Thou sayes The Saints live upon God in the Scriptures Page 117. I answer This is another lie and all that know where the Tabernacle of God is they will bring in their testimony against thee who sayes God is in the Scriptures this is all thou knows of him or where he is the Scriptures say God is in his Son in his Saints in his Throne in his Temple in his holy Hill in Immortality but it saith not that he is in the Scriptures neither that the Scriptures is his Son Saints Throne Temple holy Hill nor Immortality so prove what thou hast said and what the Saints seed on no covetous selfish earthly mind doth know such feed on swines flesh Cockatrice eggs this is thy feeding so read the Scriptures and tell me what Scripture hath God in it so by thy words he that hath the Scriptures hath God he that can buy a Bible as it is called may buy God also for God is in the Scriptures thou sayes Again thou sayes Plain light is written in the Scriptures Page 118. I answer This is another lie the light is but one Christ Emanuel God with us who said all mine are thine and thine a●e mine and I am glorified in them John 17.10 in them saith Christ the light but that light is in the Scriptures this thou art to prove but the many lies thou vomits up out of the bottomless pit makes it manifest the Devil is raised in thee according to thy own words who told Humphrey Killingbank that I had abused thee in writing to thee so I had raised the Devil in thee it appears he is high risen in thee who is a lyar from the beginning so art publishing

and the power is God Immanuel God with us and his Temple is holy 1 Cor. 3.17 that power that commands things contrary to that in the Conscience that is not the power of God that is not the higher power but the power that is from below and that is not it that the soul is to be subject to Shadrach M●shack and Abednego the King commanded them to worship his golden Image they said O Nebuchadn●zzar we are not careful to answer the in this matter c. O King say they we will not worship thy golden Image Dan. 3. Now they were no plotters against his person but that which commanded them to worship an Idol that was not the power that every soul is to be subject to so for conscience sake they could not obey it and Daniel could not obey the decree of Darius made in his will Dan. 6. but Daniel his soul being subject to the higher power for conscience sake he could not obey the commands of the will of Darius though a King Thou saies I call the soul the first born page 133. I answer Oh thou shameless man will not all that see thy Book and read it over witness against thee to be a lyar what I spoke of the soul thou hast printed it page 103. did not I write it that is to say the soul the first born knows not nor the pretiousness of it and this thou hast printed yet is thy mind so envious that thou will slander though to thy own shame so that I may say of thee Can the Ethiopian change his skin or the Leopard his spots then may thou who art accustomed to lie speak the truth the first born the first man which is of the earth earthly he knows not the soul nor the pretiousness of it but Christ who is the first born among many brethren he is the Saviour of the soul Rom 8.29 if thou knew what our feet are shod withall thou would see that thy bryars and thy thorns cannot hurt us Thou calls the soul a ceature a little map of the great world page 104. I answer What thou saies 't is thy own speech and I deny it so shew me a Scripture calling the soul a creature or a little map of the great World and shame with thy practises who saith thou art a Minister of Christ Where did ever Minister of Christ sprinkle Infants or hire one in his place to do it shame with thy practises who for filthy lucres sake will uphold popish Inventions who under a shew of differing from the Priests of the Nation will not sprinkle infants but can hire one to do it for thee or spare them of a parcel of their Tyth wage that they may get it done for them such dissembling treacherous juggling works never Minister of Jesus was found in who were of God would not bow to mens inventions for filthy lucres sake Thou saies by my saying it appears that the saving of the soul is as much in mans power as the losing of it page 106. I answer The Saviour of the soul is Christ Jesus and Christ came not by the will of man neither is he known by the will of man and iniquity is the bond that Christ redeems the soul from and thou that lives in cov●tous practises in folly pride selfishness the bond of iniquity thou sees not yet loosed so the saving of the soul thou knows not which is not in mans will nor in mans power but by Christ alone and none comes to him but as the Father draws him Iohn 6.44 but one of the crooked generation thou art who resists the drawing of the Lord so in thy will thou lives where covetousness folly and selfishness is brought forth there is the losing of the soul and what before I spoke thou shall know to be true but thou must wrangle but we have a hiding place under the wings of the Almighty from all Kites and Ravenous Birds Thou saies The Word or Spirit of God takes away the stubbornness of the Will and bows it to follow the light sprung up in the mind an so heals that power to page 107. I answer These be thy own words which thou hast no Scripture for and where the will of God is lived in flesh is crucified and the will of the flesh not bowed to follow the light as thou saies nor healed but flesh is crucified and the will thereof where he is known in whom the fathers will is done Gal. 5.24 Joh. 1.12 13. 't is the sheep that follows Christ not the will which is enmity against God 't is the broken heart he healeth not the stubborn will and thou that lives in folly selfishnesse and covetous practises thou art taken captive by the will of the wicked one 2 Tim. 2.26 and wounding thou must know not healing and there was a time when some tendernesse was in thee and deceit in some measure was seen and put off but the beast his wound was healed and the men of the world more wonder after thee than before Thou saies I would have the Magistrates stand for a cipher page 76. I answer He that wills enters not and our desires is that the Magistrates may wait to receive Christ the power of God and may not satisfie the wills of proud covetous persecuting men but that in the will of God they may rule contrary to mans will and judge the cause of the oppressed and be a praise to them that do well and a terrour to them that do evil so shall they have the praise of God Thou tells of a Will which is the seat of action obedience and doing either good or evil page 108. I answer As if good and evil came out of one seat the will this is it the Ranters would have believed that all that is acted is done by one power though man may call one thing evil and another good as saith Magnus Bine the will is the seat of action obedience and doing either good or evil but the Scripture saith there is a good tree that beareth good fruit and a corrupt tree corrupt fruit Matth. 7. and the good tree cannot bring forth corrupt fruit the corrupt tree cannot bring forth good fruit and thou who confesses thy folly selfiishnesse and covetous practises what tree art thou seeing the good tree it cannot bring forth corrupt fruit and thou that would have the will to be the seat of doing good or evil I leave thee with this and let the Reader and thy hearers take notice of it Doth a fountain send forth at the same place sweet water and bitter can the figg-tree bear olive berries either a vine figgs so can no fountain yield salt water and fresh Jam. 3 vers 11 12. Thou tells of a Fancy which is the seat of all the innumerable thoughts and imaginations that spring up in the heart of man page 108. I answer This is a lye for in all the Scriptures thou dost not read that Fancy is the seat of thoughts
