A77969	Truth (the strongest of all) witnessed forth in the spirit of truth, against all deceit: and pleading in righteousnesse its owne cause, to the understanding of the simple, against a very great number of lyes, slanders, perverting of the Scriptures, contradictions and false damnable doctrines, held forth by the Independants. And in particular by one John Bunion, (one of Gogs Army) in two severall bookes put forth by him, against the despised scattered people called Quakers. And is a reply unto his second book, called A vindication, &c. wherein what was wanting in his former of fulfilling wickednesse is now appeared; by his adding sin unto sin, against God and against his owne soule. And this is to cleer the truth from above 100 of John Bunions foule dirty lyes and slanders: by a friend of the truth as it is in Christ Jesus; and not as it is in mens carnall apprehensions, Edward Burrough.

nor regarded then may the Devil have whole Possession of the heart of man and if the light of Christ Jesus within be owned and loved and walked in then Christ is received and there the Devil is dispossessed and therefore it stands him upon above all other things to possesse people against the light within which Christ hath given that then he may not be discovered in the heart but may keepe all his goods in peace and have quiet Possession in his habitation Well be it so though all men of that Kingdom doth gainsay the light of Christ by this or that way of wickednesse yet it is precious unto us and I cannot but earnestly contend for it against all gainsayers and yet strives not for mastery to our selves nor to exalt any thing of our selves but only the Lord and his truth which he hath made more deare to us then either life or name or liberty and though so it be that this way be spoken evil against every where yet the Lord owneth it and us who are faithfull therein in the presence of our enemies to the confounding of the wisdome of this world and whereas John Bunion hath formerly set himselfe divers wayes to oppose the truth under the account of his great zeale against error but especially in a Booke sometime since put forth by him thinking thereby to offend the way of righteousnesse and now a second time hath appeared with a defence upon his former called A Vindication c. Of the former and his defence is more to the laying open his folly and to the uncovering of his blindnesse and wickednesse then his first offence given by him which caused me to write in short four sheets of paper to clear the truth from what he had spoken against it And now having again a second time appeared in many words without knowledge yet in great zeale hath brought forth many things reprovable even lyes and slanders and evil speeches in abundance yet with great pretence of holynesse and sobernesse and he hath not only helped me but the truth which is my cheife and moving cause that the truth may be clear of this my second Reply unto him and not for my own sake in any thing for I more prize to be accounted a foole and dispraysed in the world then to be honoured thereby and when iniquity shall come to an end and transgression shall be finished his shall be the Kingdome and the Inheritance of Rest eternall that hath kept himselfe clean and pure from a lying and slanderous tongue and who hath done righteously and fulfilled the will of God For it is not every one that saith Lord Lord that shall enter into the Kingdome but he that doth the will of the Father which is in heaven and in that day when the Booke of all consciences shall be opened and every thing brought to judgement then shall the light in every ones conscience answer the Lord in the justnesse of his dealings and even then if not before shall this John Bunion know the light in all mens consciences is of force when he shall be judged and then shall he see he hath wronged the Lord and dealt evil against his own soule in speaking evil of what he hath not known and in giving false judgement of what he hath not understood and till that day I leave him without praying for fire to devoure him only may reprove his lyes errors contradictions and false dealing and clear the truth from his false Charges and only to the most cheifest things whereof he accuses us in short I may Reply And whereas thou saist There is one that hath ventured to stand up against the truth and hath published a booke in which there is a great number of Heresies cunningly ●ented by him and also many things there falsly Reported of thee To which I answer that same Booke published called The true saith of the Gospel contended for c. Shall clear it self from this reproach that I have not stood up against any one truth or uttered any Heresie or lye against thee * but in that Booke did witnesse forth the truth against many things falfly layd down by thee against the Quakers and that same Booke with sobernesse read without partiality and prejudice doth clear it selfe from these false aspersions and prove thee a lyer herein and I leave it to the honest hearted to judge who reads that book while I with patience and not seeking any revenge doe bear thy reproaches counting them greater riches then thy praise And farther thou saist Only by the way thou thinkest good to mind me of my cloathing my selfe with the words of the Prophets and Apostles c. Answ. true enough by the way out of the truth and out of Christ who is the way hath thou spoken this and so hath uttered in falsehood and by or out of the way neither have I cloathed my selfe and yet am I cloathed with the life of the Prophets and Apostles and not only with their words nor do I fight against them though thou falsly say it but bears witnesse unto them in doctrine and conversation and against thee all the seed of evil doers and take backe thy own words to thy self who art in that generation which hath the words but art without the * life in the evil life Farther thou saist I have broken out with a false Testimony of John Burton and thee at which thou seemest to be much offended that I should say thou art joyned with the broken Army of Magog and hath shewed your selves in the defence of the Draggon against the Lamb c. Reply what needest thou be troubled at this have I not spoken the truth and have I not said well herein for you are joyned with all the wicked in the Nation and as lyars and swearers and drunkards persecutes with violence and as the proud and wanton are filled with scorning and singing wicked rimes in the streets even so also are you come in Print and all of you against them called Quakers the drunkards and swearers they beate them and abuse them and cast them as for dead into diches with stoning in the high wayes and in the streets beating downe with staves and the wanton they sing there rimes in scorne in Alehouses and Taverns against them and thou and thy fellowes and generation appeares in open Print slandering and reviling them yet in pretence of zeale for God and all this you doe against us who have the witnesse that we are of God and that the whole world lyes in wickednesse and now are not you all joyned as an Army and doe you not shew your selves in the defence of the Draggon * what wrong I have done you let the upright in heart judge whether I have given false testimony against you or no and though you have noted it for a lye in the Margent yet the lye is thy own who hath gain-said the truth herein and called it a lye and I have
