Ministers also whom this word of untruth includes and that as it is more than he knows or can prove by the Fourteen named so is more than is possible for him to know by all the rest many of whom he cannot pretend to any knowledge of at all much less can have any thing to object against them either as to Conversation or Doctrine But Christ's Ministers he tells us and his Ministration are to increase and flourish but in Crotchets says in the appointed season wherefore upon the whole it appears to me that these Words of great Concernment proceeds not from The word of Truth but from the Crotchets of a Whimsical imagination whose Life lies in quarreling though he knows not why nor can give any sensible account wherefore But it must be to the gladding refreshing and comforting the Hearts of the Vpright Sincere and Single-hearted Now if he be one of them it seems strange that The Word of Truth he speaks of if it ever spake by him should never send him in time of Persecution to the saving of him now and then 20 l. which he might have been in probability of losing for his Poor Insignificant says But perhaps the Constables and Informers had not an Ear to hear and so he would not let them hear him Neither might they have received his so called certain and true Testimony and so he would not let them receive it However it was it hap'ned very well for him for by that means he saved his Pocket Well since that Paper in 1694. did not quite blow up the Quakers Ministry or Ministration out comes another in 1695. of as Great Moment perhaps as an Oracle from Delphos delivered from the Infallible Tripus and uttered with such Zeal that if this do not stop their Mouths he may e'ne conclude that they are past his mending for if this will not do it I dare engage nothing that J. P. can write ever will He begins with two Quotations of Their great Apostle and Prophet as he calls him George Fox to manifest to them that they ought to be silent viz. All you that speak and not from the Mouth of the Lord are False Prophets Westmorland Petit. p. 5. 1653. They are Conjurers and Diviners and their preaching is from Conjuration that is not spoken from the Mouth of the Lord G. F 's Saul 's Errand c. p. 7. 1654. Now to shew he is a Man of use and application he drives the Nail home and says If this be true then are you who are of his Party and Preachers among the Quakers guilty both before God and Men of being False Prophets Conjurers Diviners and your preaching from Conjuration whereby you deceive and bewitch the People A high Charge I will assure you but if any should Query how he clinches this Nail and what proof he brings to make good this Indictment I answer John Pennyman hath said it he from his vain boasting and self-exalted Spirit is to testifie to them viz. That they do not preach from the Mouth of the Lord as they pretend And he from the vain Imaginations of his own proud deceived and deceitful Heart is to warn them That they presume not to Preach any more in the Name of the Lord till they come into deep Humility c. Therefore to silence them J. P. hath sent forth his Bull and forbids them but be he never so curst one good turn is he hath but short Horns And if this be not a certain and true Testimony and proof enough too to satisfie the Reader that they are guilty of this Charge both before God and Men he may e'ne go seek for proof elsewhere though J. P. no doubt would have him think it enough But if he should chance to insist upon more he may look it where he can find it for J. P. will afford him no more Nor indeed is it reasonable to expect any more in such a scrap of Paper and since J. P. is at so much Charge and Pains as to Print them and come to our Meeting-house Doors to give them away han't he done enough Ay and too much too I think and therefore for this time pray put it up and be thankful But wherefore his Confederate F. B. should Print this Passage of G. F's I cannot conceive for if it be true as J. P. seems to grant what will become of F. B's Pastor and his Brethren of the Clergy who do not so much as pretend to speak from the Mouth of the Lord by immediate Inspiration And if F.B. do not grant it they may chance to weaken their Cause by differing among themselves Moreover if that Man may be said to be of a Party with another who agrees with him in his Sentiments then thus far is J. P. of Party with G. F. by granting these Quotations and not only he but all Speakers or Preachers that are of Party with him therein or in the Work he thereby promotes and so let them take those Quotations and J. P's Conclusions and make the Application themselves and the use he makes of it too viz. Not to presume to Preach and I may add or write either till the Work he mentions is wrought in them viz. They be come into deep Humility and out of their Vain-boasting and Self-exalted Spirit they are at present found in Now after all the preceding Objections against J. P. I sincerely declare that the good Character I have heard concerning him as to his upright Dealing between Man and Man in Way of Commerce and some other Points of Morality for which I have heard him Commended hath often raised a Pity in me towards him and a desire he might not lose the Reward of them by his defect in respect to Christianity the Chiefest Point whereof is Charity and the want of which spoils all the other Parts of a Man's Religion and without which a Man cannot indeed be truly Religious according to the right definition of Religion And I do at this time heartily desire on his behalf that he may meet with true Repentance for all that through Malice he hath ●acted against us which truly I do in great ●e●sure attribute to the weakness of his Understanding and the Whimsies of his Brain which he hath so evidently and frequently manifested in divers of his Actions lest the Judgment which came upon his Brother Jeffery Bullock viz. a Despairing Death-bed overtake him And Reader if thy Inclination farther leads thee to be informed of our Holy Religion and the unholy Treatment it and we have received at the Hands of our Adversaries especially Apostates such as T. C. F. B. G. K. c. the many Tracts that have been written in defence thereof against the Misrepresentations and Perversions of our Enemies which for these Twenty Years and upwards have from time to time been published to numerous here to nominate will more at large inform thee And are sold by Tace Sowle next Door to our Meeting-House in White-hart-court in Gracious-street and by Thomas Northcot in George-yard in Lumbard-street Booksellers FINIS
