A78608	The deceived, and deceiving Quakers discovered. Their damnable heresies, horrid blasphemies, mockings, railings, unparallel'd deceit, and dishonestly laid open. In the discovery of which, is made known the pure use of the holy scriptures (which by them is denyed) the true Christ, and how he justifies, his second coming proved not to be already (as the Quaker affirms) also the resurrection from the dead, and the eternal judgement, and several other particulars that saints are required to be stedfast in. / Set forth especially for the good of those that are called out of the world, into the primitive order of the Gospel, but may be usefull for all people. By Matthew Caffyn a servant of the Lord, related to the Church of Christ near Horsham in Sussex, being an eye, and ear-witnesse.

of nature and in many the spirit of errour their light being become darknesse being delivered up to strong delusion to beleeve lyes thinking they have Christ in them when it is a spirit of errour and so pervert the sense of the Scriptures declaring the anointing and the anointed to be all one teaching up the Spirit of Christ apart from the body of Christ to be the Christ or rather the spirit of errour in them to be the Christ come in their flesh and so in a very deceivable secret way deny Christ come in the flesh in saying he is the Christ that is within them which is an evill spirit so applying the Scriptures that speak of the Spirit of Christ dwelling in men to be that evill spirit in them so declaring that Spirit of errour in them apart from the body or flesh of Christ to bee the Christ and so deny Christ come in the flesh but note well what the Scripture of truth saith they declare that Jesus the Christ was slain Act. 2.22 23. chap. 3. 5. chap. 4.10 in chap. 5 30. Peter who was ful● of the Holy Ghost saith the God of our Fathers hath raised up Jesus whom ye SLEW and HANGED on a tree and Paul saith to the Corinth 1 Cor. 15.3 4. first of all I delivered unto you that which I received how that CHRIST DYED FOR OVR SINS according to the Scriptures and that he was BVRIED and that he AROSE the third day according to the Scriptures so it is plain that the Spirit apart from the body or flesh of Christ is not the Christ And therefore again note what Paul saith 1 Tim. 2.5 There is one God and one Mediatour BETWEEN God and man which is the MAN Christ Jesus and Heb. 10.10 sheweth that the Hebrews were sanctified by the offering of the BODY of Jesus Christ verse 19 20. seeing therefore Brethren that by the BLOOD of Jesus we may be bold to enter into the holy places by the new and living way which he hath consecrated for us through the veil that is his FLESH So that Jesus that was baptized of John in the River Jordan was anointed with the oyl of gladnesse above his fellows Mat. 3.13 16. Psal 45.7 so Jesus the Saviour is the anointed of God for he gave him not the Spirit by measure Joh. 3.34 and so the Spirit of the Lord resteth and abideth upon the MAN Christ Jesus Isa 11.2 Jo. 1.32 so then the Spirit of God or of Christ apart from the BODY of Christ is not the Christ Therefore most abominable is that which men say that that which is in them is Christ when it is a spirit of errour and so men may see how through this mystery of iniquity men come to say they are Christ for consider if the spirit in some man be the Christ what hindreth him to say hee is Christ and therefore some one presumes to say hee is Christ let no man mistake mee for I say that the Spirit of God doth dwell in the Saints and that Christ doth dwell in their hearts by faith but note that faith is the substance of things hoped for and the evidence of things not seen Heb. 11.1 so the just live by faith and look for the Son of God from Heaven whom he raised from the dead even Jesus that delivereth us from the wrath to come but to return so as to shew yet further who hath the spirit of Antichrist and they are such as race out the Ordinances of Christ which came in being when Christ came in the flesh and so declare Christ come in the flesh dead and risen again as baptism of water and breaking of bread which doth declare the Lords death till he comes 1 Cor. 11.26 Rom 6.3 4. Col. 2.12 now there are a sort of men which say to know or acknowledge Christ in the practice of those Ordinances is formall and fleshly and low and carnal and so reject the Counsel of God and will not be baptized and so not walking up in the Ordinances that did come in being when Christ came in the flesh and do so excellently declare him come in the flesh and are to continue unti●l Christ come from Heaven and change our vile bodies and make them like his most glorious body Phil. 3.20 21. I say those that do slight and reject those ordinances and say they are formall and will not practice them have the spirit of Antichrist and do deny Christ come in the flesh because they will not practice those ordinances that declare Christ come in the flesh yea more fully than the Whore for shee hath a shew and so a remembrance of those Ordinances though she have changed the subject and the manner as aforesaid but THESE root out the very being of them and so deny Christ come in the flesh and so are discovered to have the spirit of Antichrist also those that have been inlightened and have beleeved the Resurrection of the body and also the eternal Judgement and then come to question it and deny it and say the Judgement day is come have the spirit of Antichrist for Christ being put to death in the flesh and rising again from the dead so bringeth in the Resurrection of the bodyes of all men and then cometh in the eternal Judgement according to that in Act. 17.30 31. hee hath appointed a day in the which he will judge the World in Righteousnesse by that MAN whom he hath appointed whereof he hath given assurance to all men in that he hath raised him from the dead so as by man came death by man came also the resurrection of the dead for as in Adam all dye so in Christ shall all bee made alive but every man in his own order the first fruits is Christ afterwards they that are of Christ at his comming 1 Cor. 15.21 22 23. so Christ being come in the flesh the MAN Christ Saviour dyed and rose again and so comes in the Resurrection and no otherwise therefore they that deny the Resurrection of the body deny Christ come in the flesh and so have the spirit of Antichrist and therefore John writing to the Saints warning them that they take heed of the Antichristian spirit that they be not deceived exhorteth them thus let that therefore abide in you which you have heard from the beginning if that which you have heard from the beginning shall remain in you ye also shall continue in the Son and in the Father 1 Joh. 2.24 read also for this purpose the whole chapter Now that which they heard from the beginning was the beginning Word of Christ according to that of Paul 1 Cor. 15.3 4. which he delivered first of all to the Corinthians that Christ dyed for our sins according to the Scripture c. and the first principles of the word of God which is the principles of the Doctrin of Christ to wit repentance from dead works and of faith toward God the Doctrin of Baptismes and laying on of hands

the words of men but AS IT IS IN TRUTH the word of God 1 Thes 2.13 wherefore the Quaker supposing that God himself in men is their Teacher only erres not knowing the Scriptures for Israel was willing to be taught yet said they let not God speak with us but speak thou with us Moses and we will hear Exod. 20.19 and in this they well said saith God Deut. 5.28 Most true it is that no man can come to the Father but by the Son who offered up himself to death that we might have life by whose stripes we are healed without his blood there is no remission Heb. 9.22 by him also we have access unto the Father who at his right hand makes intercession for us and so he becomes our righteousnesse our sanctification and this Gospel was witnessed first by Christ himself but since saith the Apostles we pray you in Christs stead be ye reconciled to God those that were thus wrought upon through their ministry are said to be the called of Jesus Christ Rom. 1.6 Act. 28.23 and so is made good the words of Jude 3. contend earnestly for that Faith which was ONCE delivered to the Saints Object By this saith Lawson we set the Scriptures in the room of the Father and Son and so saith he deny both Father and Son Answ Many are the shifts of men to race out of the World that esteem of the Scriptures which indeed is but due being accounted by the Apostles HOLY Scriptures in respect of their use Rom. 1.2 whereby is made known the will of Christ in which we walk indeavouring through his grace the honour of the Father and Son which cannot be a denying of the Father and Son but he that hath his eyes closed will say so it is said the Scripture is profitable for teaching correction and instruction in Righteousness and that there ought to be attendance given to the reading of it yet most surely neither Paul that spoke it nor Timothy to whom it was spoken denyed either Father or Son nor pulled off the Crown from Christs head putting it upon the Scriptures as saith Lawson we do yet say no more than they did he most surely is worthy of the Crown that dyed to bring forth a word of salvation for men and that strengthens us by his Spirit to walk up accordingly from whom the Apostles removed it not yet said to men WE pray you in Christs STEAD 2 Cor. 5.20 yea and that from the Scriptures perswading men from morning till evening Act. 28.23 Aaron was to hearken unto Moses who was to put words into his mouth and therein to be unto him in STEAD of God Exod. 4.16 yet neither he nor the Apostles robbed God of his honour he being the original of him and through him and to him are all things to whom be glory for ever Rom. 11.36 Oh how great are the self-exaltations of these men how doth their arrogancy appear while they so mightily indeavour to destroy mens faith of the Scriptures as being adiscovery of the Lords will and yet in the mean while furnish the Nations almost in every corner with THEIR SCRIPTURES which is writings calling them a DISCOVERY of several particulars which they publish to men as the will of the Lord as witnesseth Deusburys book which he calls a discovery of mans return to his first estate with a discovery of Mystery Babylon Martha Simmons also speaks something in discovery of the nakednesse of all professions c. Farnworth also hath writ that the Truth might be cleared and the ignorance both of Priest and people might be discovered What! O friends may men know from their writings and yet not from the holy writings which were written for that very end that the CERTAINTY of the Lords will might be known Luk. 1.3 4. and that men MIGHT beleeve Joh. 20.31 God forbid Object Also I deny the Spirit saith Lawson in his book in saying that by the Scriptures is made known or revealed the will of Christ because the Spirit searches all things yea the deep things of God Answ There is indeed such words spoken by Paul 1 Cor. 2.10 but Lawson waiting so much upon the darkness within him hath wrested the Scripture and so himself is found unlearned 2 Pet. 2.16 though he hath talked so much of the tongue of the learned for the Apostle in the words before saith that eye hath not seen nor ear heard c. the things which God hath prepared for them that love him but God saith Paul hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit that is them things which God hath prepared for those that love him wherefore he saith vers 12. that we might know the things which are freely given to us of God wherefore most plainly will it appear to him that searches that the Apostle THERE speaks not of the Spirits revealing the duty of man but rather of the great glory and reward that is the portion of them that walk up in their duty though it is not to be denyed but rather witnessed by experienced souls that the Spirit doth teach them manisesting and laying open particularly the corruption of the heart which is but in general heads signified in Scripture and not only so but also mortifies the same Rom. 8.13 and also beareth witness with our spirit that we are the children of God verse 16. 〈◊〉 so are we sealed with the holy Spirit of promise Ephes 1.13 moreover by the Spirit is revealed and clearly made known those particulars which are obscurely signified in the Scripture Ephes 3.5 6. which things together with the revelations of the future glory the naturall man receives not for they are foolishness unto him wherefore he is required in the first place to repent and be baptized for the remission of sins and then is he under the promise of the holy Spirit Act 2.38 through which he may discern these things for they are spiritually discerned Object The manifestation of the Spirit is given to every man to profit withall but by reason of darkness it is not comprehended Answ Christ the true Light speaks otherwise saying that the World CANNOT RECEIVE the Spirit wherefore though the Spirit be a Teacher as aforesaid yet it is to be considered that the promise thereof so as to dwell in men is to such as yeeld obedience to that self-denying Doctrin of repentance and are not ashamed of those ordinances that belong to penitent men wherefore saith the Apostles God hath given the Spirit to them that OBEY him Act. 5.32 and those that say God hath given him also to disobedient men as a dweller in them doth make the Apostles words of no effect if the Spirit dwel in every unbeleeving man what meaneth Paul when he asked the Disciples whether they had received the Spirit SINCE they beleeved moreover when they signified their ignorance saying we have not so much as heard whether there be any holy Spirit Paul did not as we find tell them that they were mistaken

shewing them that the Spirit was in them but by reason of darkness they comprehended it not but rather questions their faith Act. 19.2 3. shewing plainly that faith is to precede the receiving of the Spirit as an indweller wherefore saith Paul after ye beleeved ye were sealed with the holy Spirit of promise Ephes 2.13 all which being considered may shew us the Quakers mis-understanding of Pauls words in 1 Cor. 12.7 who speaking before unto the Church concerning the diversities of the gifts of the Spirit said unto them considered as a Church such as were sanctified in Christ that the end of the manifestation of the Spirit given to every man was to profit withall but him the World cannot receive John 14.17 Another shift of those men to put by the true intention of writing the Scriptures is to tell people that they are not the Word of God and their reason is because Christ is called the Word which may not be denyed but yet Christ is not so the Word but that himself testifies the Scriptures to be the Word of God for saith he to the Pharisees Moses said honour thy Father and thy Mother but ye suffer a man no more to do ought for his Father or his Mother and thus ye make the Word of God of no effect Mar. 7.12 13. Mat. 15.6 that is plainly the Scriptures which saith honour thy Father and thy Mother God said to Moses that he would raise up a Prophet unto Israel and that he would put his words into his mouth Deut. 18.18 unto this Christ bears record saying I speak not of my self but the Father gave mee commandement what I should speak now judge ye I pray whether any of Christs hearers might have said and well said that the words which he spake was not the Word of God if they might not then the Scriptures being a presentation of what Christ did do and teach Act. 1.1 may properly be said to be the Word of God even so it appears Paul Sylvanus and Timotheus understood it who writing unto the Saints testified that they had heard of them and RECEIVED OF THEM how they ought to walk yet they received it not as the word of men but as it is in Truth saith the Apostles the Word of God 1. Thes 2.13.4.1 or the word of Truth which Timothy was rightly to divide 2 Tim. 2.15 but Christ is not divided or a word of faith because it testifies of Righteousness no otherwise attainable but by faith yet not but that Christ is the author of Faith he being that pure sacrifice that makes reconciliation for sins through Faith in him which the Scripture speaks of and so it still remains that through the Scriptures is made known the will of Christ yea the CERTAINTY thereof Luke 1.3 4. it being evidently his will that his saying should be set forth in writings as they are as will appear by severall counsels and cautions of Christ the danger whereof he well knew would not happen in the dayes of his then Disciples and so had been uselesse had he not intended that what he spake unto them should be recorded for the benefit of after generations Mat. 24. Mar. 13. Luk. 21. wherefore diligently observe what is written and give attendance to the reading thereof and I beseech you in the fear of the Lord that ye slight them not no not in the least least the judgements of God break out upon you I mean hardnesse of heart to beleeve lyes Oh remember how the anger of the Lord was kindled against Jehoiakim King of Judah when hee burnt the Scripture that was sent unto him that hee might know the Lords will and turn unto him Jerem. 36.23.30 31. whatsoever things were written aforetime were written for OUR LEARNING Rom. 15.4 let us learn let us learn The Quaker also denyeth that the Ministers of Christ indued with the Spirit of Christ ought to minister or preach from the Scriptures as appears in Lawsons book called the untaught Teacher pa. 2.3 Undoubtedly this will seem strange because in their preaching and also in their books they commonly speak of Scripture but friends there lyes a winding Serpent in that grass for from it they speak not though OF it but from that which they call Light within them which they wait upon as their ONLY TEACHER the teachings of which they witness forth and least iniquity should appear as iniquity nakedly they pervert the plain Scriptures into mysterious meanings and frames them up one way or other to that which their Light speaks within them and SO speak much of the Scriptures thus is it a MYSTERY OF INIQUITY yea though it be altogether against the plain Scripture yet will they follow the dictates of the darkness within them and that herein I abuse them not I present unto you one revelation of their Teacher that is concerning the Scripture which testifies that a woman is not permitted to speak in the Church by way of teaching though permitted in other cases by which say they is meant the wisdome of the flesh either in man or woman which revelation Farnworth thought worthy of the press and so published it yea I have been told by them that that woman which is forbidden thus to speak was within mee and spake in mee this say they proceeds from the Light but woe unto them that puts darkness for Light Isa 5.20 All that hath been already said serves for the proof of this which by them is denyed for the Light which they speak of within being tryed and found darkness and the Scriptures that which makes known the will of Christ it must neéds follow as a safe practice for the spirituall man to minister from the Scriptures since we find it also agreeable with the practice of the Apostles who at their first publick preaching after Christs ascention directed the people to the Scriptures yea a great part of that which Peter preached Act. 2. consisted of repetitions of the Prophets words which was to them and is to us in Scripture yea as matter of proof of what he spoke when he had asserted that Christ was risen from the dead he adds this reason verse 25. FOR DAVID SPEAKETH concerning him c. yea very much Scripture doth he there relate and then expounds them vers 29 30 31. and reasons from them verse 34. and this became effectual whereas if Peter had been altogether instructed by a Teacher within him and owned no other than the same Teacher within his hearers must have been the only means to convince them of their sins but it is otherwise recorded vers 37. when they heard THIS that is Peters preaching from the Scriptures they were pricked in heart and also the only thing through which they might be added to the Saints but it is otherwise said even that they which gladly received HIS WORD were baptized and the same day there was added unto them about three thousand souls verse 41. to this agrees also the manner of Pauls preaching

Scriptures that Jesus was Christ is said MIGHTLY TO CONVINCE the Jews to which agrees Pauls direction to Timothy about Bishops signifying therein that he must be one able by SOUND DOCTRIN both to exhort and CONVINCE the gainsayers Tit. 1.1.9 according to which agrees the relation of the people dwelling at Jerusalem Act. 2.37 WHEN THEY HEARD THIS to with Peters powerfull preaching by the Spirit out of the Scriptures they were pricked at the heart thus was he a sower that went forth and went OUT to sow good seed into the hearts of men Luk. 8.5 but according to the sense of the Quaker the sower dwels in the ground the wicked world oh horrible confusion but it may be the Quaker will take some advantage because it is said a sower and not sowers but the wise will consider that there is no room in the least for an advantage against what here or elsewhere hath been said for by the parable of one lost sheep or one lost peece of silver Christ justifies his practice in companying with many Publicans and sinners Luk 15.1 2 4 8 therefore it follows not that Christ himself in men is the sower only though all is from him originally for the Apostles said 1 Cor. 9.11 WE have sown unto you spiritual things which they did in Christs STEAD 2 Cor. 5.20 Object Christ saith when the Spirit is come he shall reprove the World of sin of Righteousnesse and of judgement Joh. 16.8 Answ It is to bee observed that hee doth not say when hee is come in the World but having before verse 7. shewed the expediency of his going away said if I depart I will send him unto YOU that was his Disciples and when he is come that is to you for the World saith Christ CANNOT RECEIVE HIM Joh. 14.17 he shall reprove the World of sin by which Spirit when the Disciples had received it they went forth with all boldnesse and utterance plainly declaring the word of Truth perswading men OUT OF THE LAW OF MOSES AND OUT OF THE PROPHETS which was in Scripture from morning till evening Act. 28.23 with such power and wisdome as that the adversaries were not able to resist the Spirit by which THEY spake Act. 6.10 wherefore notwithstanding this objection I have not so learned Christ as to beleeve that the wicked hath this Spirit of promise dwelling in them when as Christ saith they CANNOT receive it what God may do by his Spirit for men at certain times especially where other means are wanting I here speak not against but against this conception of theirs viz. that the holy Spirit of God DWELS in all UNHOLY persons of the World as that which alone convinceth them of sin and of Righteousness Moreover saith Paul Rom. 3.20 by the Law is the KNOWLEDGE OF SIN yea that Law by the deeds of which no flesh shall be justified whereby the Apostle prevents the Quakers objection concerning his spirituall Law by which alone he saies men shall be justified and also saith Rom. 7.7 that he had not known sin but by the Law for saith he I had not known lust except the Law had said thou shalt not covet which Law he saith verse 6. they then were delivered from and verse 4. dead to James also being of the same Spirit told the Saints that in case they had respect to persons they would be by the Law the tenor of which was thou shalt not commit adultery thou shalt not kill CONVINCED as transgressors Jam. 2.9 10 11. yet saith Lawson the outward Law doth not convince man of sin and his reason is because Paul said that he was once alive without the Law not considering that persons in their childish and youthfull dayes which are vanity Eccles 11.10 may properly be said to bee without the Law though nurtured by them that have the Law whike they live in lusts coveting after every pleasant object of the eye not understanding the things of God but when the commandement comes to their understandings capable to comprehend such things then sin is revived and they dye and so remains till remission of sin is assured to them now in reference to those Gentiles that have not the written Law Paul saith that they HAVING NOT THE LAW marke that are a Law unto themselves which never was said to them or of them that had the written Law that is concerning such things as is held forth in the Law of Moses which saith the man that doth those things shall live by then Rom. 10.5 but the things relating to Faith in Christ we find was made known UNTO men by outward discoveries but something to this hath been already said The Quaker saith that the Scriptures are not a touchstone to try Spirits withall as saith Lawson in his book pa. 14. The summe of all concerning the Quakers esteem of the Scriptures is thus THEY OWN IT NOT A RULE WHEREBY THE WILL OF CHRIST MAY BE KNOWN NEITHER THAT WHICH SAINTS endued with the Spirit ARE TO PREACH FROM NEITHER THAT WHICH CONVINCETH OF SIN NEITHER THE TOUCHSTONE TO TRY SPIRITS WITHALL yet will they say that they own all the Scriptures from the beginning of Genesis unto the end of the Revelations but oh their shamefull deceit Now this last particular must needs be found short of truth because the Scriptures are found to be the rule now that which is the rule must needs be the tryer or touchstone to manifest unruly persons though it be true that there is a gift of the Spirit which discerns the unsound man yea by very slender appearances yet hereby is he not so to bee tryed as to be openly published and judged till some evident disobedience to the written Law and so by their fruits we must know them not he that saith Lord Lord or Light Light shall enter into the Kingdome but he that doth the will of the Father whose will is signified in the Scripture moreover when Christ had informed his Disciples of false Prophets and false Christs together with their works and sayings which should come hee said unto them take heed behold I have FORETOLD YOU ALL THINGS Mar. 13.23 ye that fear God consider how inexcusable we shall be found if when Christ hath so exprest his kindnesse in foretelling the danger and prescribing the manner of its appearance that we might escape it it I say we shall not take heed thereunto comparing the workings and sayings of men with this written Prophecy and so try the Spirits thereby have we not good ground to beleeve that these men are evilly disposed in that they refuse to come to the rule to be tryed what is not that to try men withall now which Christ will judge and try and judge men by in the last day the word that I have spoken saith Christ shall judge him in the last day Joh. 12.48 which word is witnessed to us in the Scripture but Lawson supposes this day to be now which is to try every mans work wherein the righteous
