the Vail that vailed it There was plainly He and the Body in which He came There was the Outward Vessel and the Inward Life This we certainly know and can never call the Bodily Garment Christ but that which appeared and dwelt in the Body Again see W. Bayly's Work p. 300 307. quoted at large in my Book The Quakers set in their true Light c. p. 43. Whereas W. Penn denies the Person that suffer'd at Jerusalem to be the Son of God as above-quoted and Is Pennington tells you they can never call him Christ only something that was within him c. this W. Bayly he makes the same Distinction and therefore to shew that these Quaker-Teachers deny the Lord that bought them and bring in damnable Heresies I shall in Two or Three Instances shew Mat. 16.13 Whom do Men say that I the Son of Man am v. 16. Thou art Christ the Son of the Living God V. 17. Blessed art thou Simon Bar-jona for Flesh and Blood hath not revealed it unto thee but my Father which is in Heaven Read also Acts 5.30 31. The God of our Fathers raised up Jesus whom ye slew and hang'd on a Tree him hath God exalted with his Right Hand to be a Prince and a Saviour for to give Repentance to Israel and Forgiveness of Sins Cap. 2. V. 36. Therefore let all the House of Israel know assuredly that God hath made that same Jesus whom ye slew and hang'd on a Tree both Lord and Christ Now I would ask the Quakers whether their Light within which they call Christ was ever hang'd on a Tree run thro' with a Spear c. Thus much then to shew that the Quakers are the very Men that deny the Lord that bought them and that have brought in Damnable Heresies who by their Slights and cunning Craftiness lye in wait to deceive and the way to keep their People blind is to prepossess them against the Scriptures which I think they have more than sufficiently done by calling them Death Dust Serpents Meat Beastly Ware and the like Contemptuous Names For should they read St. Luke 2. and the Evangelists thorowly and the Acts of the Holy Apostles and their Epistles they would soon find that the Person that suffered on the Tree of the Cross at Jerusalem was the Son of God and the Saviour of the World in Opposition to the Doctrine of all Jews Mahometans Deists and Quakers And thus I conclude this Head referring the Reader to my Pilgrim's Progress c. p. 150 to 174. Finally I heartily recommend to the well-disposed amongst the Hearers of the Quakers the frequent reading of the Holy Scriptures and other good Books for their Information and Instruction For as Ignorance cannot be the Mother of Christian Devotion neither will it be any Excuse in the great Day of Account especially when we consider the Means of Knowledge is so plentiful in this our Christian Nation Wherefore read 2 Thes 1.8 How that God will take Vengeance on them that know him not at well as on them that obey not the Gospel of out Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ and the Prophet Isaiah 27.11 complained saying It is a People of no Understanding therefore he that made them will have no Mercy on them and he that formed them will shew them no Favour c. How then should this encourage you to read some other Books besides those of your Friends What if your Teachers frown on you And what if they set your Fathers and Mothers your Wives and Children against you First Do your Duty to God and next to your several Relations But you that are Masters of Families God expects more of you than of others He hath made Man chief Ruler in his Family and put all in Subjection to him Sarah was a good Woman she obeyed her Husband and call'd him Lord And Num. 30. his Sovereignty over his Family is Confirmed and Ratified by the Apostles but your Teachers have set your Wives at Liberty from this Duty so that I know whenever you turn your Faces to Sionward and begin to embrace the Articles of the Christian Faith to read Books wrote against the Quakers to consider and see whether it is so as is reported I say when any of you come thus to examine and see for your selves you will have hard Work but then you that have good Wives they will be as Solomon says Prov. 12.4 As a Crown to your Heads Yea as both Shield and Buckler against all your Enemies But if otherwise she 'll be as Rottenness to your Bones which causeth a Stink and Noisom Smell She 'll not only watch for your Halting but be glad to discover all your Humane Frailties or any Personal Fault she can find and all to gratifie your Leaders who then will turn your Implacable Enemies But still keep you steddy and do your part and God will clear your Innocency but this let me advise too as one that has gone before you you must cast down your Crowns and be willing to be accounted as the Dung of the Earth and as the Offscouring of all things and that where your Mercinary Teachers can prevail you shall not have a Friend left you upon the Earth But for your Encouragement in this your Progress the Bible is full of Instructions and many other Books to which I refer you and I pray God to discover to you the Slights and cunning Craftiness of your Teachers whereby they lye in wait to deceive that so you may shun their Snare and escape their Net and fly for your Lives and come forth of Babylon to the Land of Canaan which flows with many good things which you neither know nor are yet acquainted with F. B. The Christian Ministry of the Church of England Vindicated and Distinguished from the Antichristian Ministry of the Quakers according to that Text Ye shall know them by their Fruits I Have seen a Printed Sheet by a nameless Author stiled A Letter to the Clergy c. by a pretended Member of the Church of England and also observed how universally it is spread far and near in all Towns where-ever I came and how industriously it is as well dispersed as espoused by the Quakers and as I am told read in their Meetings which is more than ever they did a Chapter in the Bible Thus do they like the Revolting Israelites worship the Works of their own Hands and dance about this their carved Idol as they did about the Golden Calf Exod. 32. And as when I first saw it I took it to be a Project of the Quakers forming so I do still and that not only by the Doctrine therein taught the Dialect therein used but knowing they can do any thing that may serve a turn Subscribe Certificates never handed by the Persons themselves Alter Add to and Take from any Matter whether of the Dead or Living either in Printing or Reprinting for their main Business and whole Study is to deceive the Nation and to
