A85129	Antichrists man of vvar, apprehended, and encountred withal, by a souldier of the armie of the Lamb. Otherwise, an answer to a book set forth by one that subscribes his name Edmund Skipp, preacher of the Gospel (as he saith) to a people at Bodenham in Herefordshire; but is found one that is acting Antichrists part disguised: but nakedly seen, & herein discovered in this answer to his book, called the Worlds wonder, or the Quakers blazing-starre. And in this answer he is discovered, and proved to be one that is chief in the service of the old dragon: who pretends in his book to discover the mystery of the Quakers, as he calls them, and to lay open a dangerous design: who is found out, that whilst he hath been pretending to be chief in discovering a plot, or Antichrists misterious actings, is found himself to be the chief plotter, ... / Written in Worcestershire by a servant of the Lord, the second moneth called April, 1655.

left in the snare which thou hast laid and the p●t which thou hast d●gged and sounder the delusions and mysterious workings of Antichrist as to the single eye will clearly appear thereby will the innocent by thee called Quakers be cleared though thou and the wicked through plotting mischief be ensnared and seared that all simple hearts may take warning and be preserved who have the living God in any measure truly seared and served by doing his will in departing from the workings of Antichrist by his own power in himself and also though his Antichristian Ministers being as thou art transformed as a Minister of righteousness beguiling the ignorant through the mysterious actings by a Satanical spirit of Antichrist in that mystery of iniquity with thy lying wonders c. 2 Thes 2.9 10 11 12. Now I shall speak to clear the truth from some of thy accusations and slanders that deceit may be cast out and truth stand clear as hereafter will appear First To that in thy tenth page where thou seeks to render the people of God odious which thou calls Quakers and one chief thing thou accusest them withal and lays as a ground to work on and that is thou says their railing and speaking ●uch languages to all sorts of people and Rulers and Magistrates c. which doth as thou says discover a spirit of delusion error c. Now if I prove that that they do not as thou says then thou wilt be found to be what thou would charge them withal and so they cleared and thou left to be known thereby to be guided by a spirit of error and in the delusions and mysterious workings of Antichrist thou speaks of But I shall prove that those thou calls Quakers are not as thou says therefore thou art the deceiver and in the delusions c. an the people thou calls Quakers redeemed from such things and stands clear To thy second Rule whereby thou says thou wilt find out where Satan doth colour over and blind this fallacy with some Scripture words and instances And that is first as thou says their rayling and says they count it not railing but a sharp rebuking and reproving men with authority c. quoting Thus 1.13 and 3.15 and those are the places thou says Satan covers himself under and that of Nathan to David when he said thou art the man and that of Christ to Peter when he called him Satan I answer Satan cannot cast out Satan and a Kingdom divided cannot stand thou deceiver and subtil serpent doth or will Satan discover and reprove his own deceivableness No he will not strike at his own Kingdom to root it out The fallacy thou speaks of that is thy own turned back upon thee again and the Scriptures which thou hast cited we witness and own the authority spoken of but they are no covers for deceit as thou says therefore in that thou art the false accuser and lyer against the truth and truths friends thou art a stranger to the life of truth and them and that which thou calls rayling is to tell thee and men of the evil of their ways for in the second place thou says they charge men with hypocrisie aod so take the example of Christ to call men hypocrites here thou shews thou art offended at truth for declaring against the deceit and so art judged out of thy own mouth and by thy own works who art in the hypocrisie and therefore an hypocrite for we cannot follow any better examples then Christ Jesus and his true Prophets and Apostles for we are required so to follow them as for our examples and we do not err●n so doing but are accepted for obeying Christ and h●s Commands and following him for our example and the e●ample of such Eph. 5.1 1 Co. 11.1 and thou art offended at that and that the seed of God should sharply reprove and rebuke the serpents seed and the man of sin and darest thou say there was sin or deceit manifested by Paul forb●dding Titus reprove and rebuke with authority or was that any rayling and reviling in him and such to obey the commands of the spirit of truth as Nathan did and such as are sent as he was from God sent to tell David he was the man and Christ Jesus himself to Peter Get thee behind me Satan And as it was no sin nor deceit in them to say so being guided thereunto by the Lords sp●r●t then it is not deceit error nor delusion for such now so to say being thereunto as they was guided by the Lords holy Spirit to say so to whom they are so sent and to say as they are by the Lord required but thou and the Serpents seed are offended at the righteous judgment and language of the Spirit of Truth therefore thy sayings against such are false and so thou judgest amiss to call it rayling and reviling speaking against sin and dece●t and to speak plainly to Teachers People Rulers and Magistrates according as their Cond●t●ons are c. As I shall prove by several Scripture e●amples and then let all the children of light judg and not the world which thou calls to judg of thy sayings who are in deceit as thou art and cannot judg aright but therein thy folly and enmity is discovered and for colouring delusion error and deceits with pretences and seemingly from the Scriptures by-fallacies c. none more guilty of that sin than thou art and the Hireling and Tything-Priests and such false Antichristian Ministers that are in union with Antichrist as thou art being so acted and guided by a Satanical spirit in all his mysterious actings being turned back and according to thy sayings in thy 11. page and the judgments woes c. against Kendal in the North shall stand But that which proceeds from the Spirit of truth and the true Power of the living God in His Sons and Daughters which thou calls rayling is not as thou says but are words of truth therefore thy second Rule for the discovery of the mystery thou tells of is false a lying fallacy so error and deceit therefore thou art a false Judg and so guided by an erronious spirit of delusion to judg amiss of the Saints practice by thy delusion error and deceit Example 1. To speak truth in plainness by the spirit of truth to Priests People Rulers or Magistrates is no railing but according to the Scriptures and practise of the Peop of God as is here by these Examples proved to be a witness for the truth and against E. S. lies error and all decei For first When the Lord sent the Prophet his servant Isaiah to speak to the bl●nd watch-men and greedy Sheapherds of Israel who had transgressed the first Covenant c. he called them beasts and said All ye Beasts of the field come to devoure His Watch-men are blind they are ignorant they are all dumb-dogs yea they are greedy dogs which have never enough they all look to their own way

and thou that will lye against the truth thou wils not let to lye against thy Conscience who art proved to be such an open lyar and thy sayings in other things is proved to be false as in that also the light against thy will which is thy condemnation is my witness and answer and that shall stand Thirdly To that which thou calls thy third charge c. Where thou say'st thou art charged to be an enemy to the Lords People as in thy 8. pag. and 4. particular thou says thou art c. I Answer that thou art and so the charge is true and not false and so it shall stand and is not by me denyed Thy trumpet is sounded thy seed of dissention east abroad and thy lyes blazes in thy Blazing-Star and thy false accusations and also thy unrighteous judgment against the truth and against the righteous seed is abundantly made manifest to the publick view and thy enmity to the light is seen so to the truth calling the power of it delusion and the like Thou art he that blasphems God in His People and so in His Temple and art a hater of the Truth in hostility against it and in the rebellion amongst such in that nature turned from the light as are haters of the ways and people of God who for their disobedience to the light and truth were and are given over to reprobate minds c. and thou art g●ven over to the delusion of Satan and to believe lyes and tell them abroad who art so far acted by a Satanical spirit in the mystery of iniquity that thou hast largely and rashly out of a reprobate sense vented them abroad against the truth of our Lord Jesus Read thy heart and Judg thy self for an open enemy thou art also read thy self amongst such Rom. 1.18 19. Rom. 1.28 29 30. c. 2 Thes 1.6 7.8 9. 2 Thes 2.9 c. Fourthly As for thy fourth charge where thou says thou art charged not to have passed the new birth And fifthly for backsliding thou says c. As for backsliding thou confesseth it partly thy self in thy 9. page and for not passing the new birth that thou hast not but art found in the old and the strong man armed in thee that shall stand for liers slanderers reproachers false accusers nor blasphemers are not born of God but thou art an open lyar slanderer and false accuser of the innocent hundreds may witness against thee that thou falsly accuseth under the name of Quakers therefore let the new birth alone who art blaspheming speaking evil of the power that begets to the newness of life c. The new birth thou hast cleared thy self of not to be the new man but the old then let thou that alone to whom it doth belong for such as are born of God sinneth not 1 Iohn 3.9 and he that committeth sin is of the Devil and not born of God but thou commits sin and that in a high measure so thou art of the Devil and all such therefore not born of God and herein are the Children of God made manifest and the children of the Devil so art thou made manifest to be no Child of God but a servant of sin a false accuser misapplyer of the Scripture a false Judg and an open lyar therefore on the Devil as such are Rom. 1.28 c. 1 Iohn 3.8 Iob. 8.34.44 Rom. 6.16 Rev. 21.8 Firthly And for talking of the new creature and the second Adam and knowledge therein thou art speaking without understanding also questioning thy own knowledge in the same thou speaks of saying if it be so c. so thou speaks without true knowledge or understanding in the same but the knowledge by enjoyment in the second Adam is out of thy comprehension and brain imagination though thou have had some little convictions yet thou art turned into false accusations envy disdain trechery and deceit as thy brother Cain and brother Iudas did whose end was according to his work take thou notice of it and according to the saying thou speaks of the charge upon thee is no blank but stands still and sealed with thy old actions and the backsliding thou speaks of in thy 9. page who art in the delusions and false Astronomical Judgment given over to believe lyes and labours to fill ignorant people with thy false Prophecies and lying divinations in thy Worlds Wonder who art manifested by it to be full of trechery and deceit slanders and false accusations and as I have proved thee therefore instead of mercy Judgment for thee shall stand true just upon thy Astronomical and unjust By these five particulars thou laboured to have brought about thy mysterious workings of that spirit of Antichrist whereby thou art so disguised and hid with covers of delusion and deceit and to have brought the innocent into thy snares from these thou sought to make a ground to charge the people of God to be deluders and in delusion the mystery of iniquity under the Region of Antichrist c. and thou hast laid as it were baits and coloured them smoothly over to take the minds of the ignorant withal and so bewitch them with thy lying divination and false Astronomical Judgment the Serpent hath shot forth his sting in his tayl by thee to strike the simple and thou hast laboured by thy working mysteriously so disguised and transformed as a Minister of truth and righteousnes in some seeming shews and pretences to cast stumbling blocks in the way to cause the weak to fall and be wounded and to catch the ignorant into thy trap with a bait and a snare first laying down a fair seeming shew of truth in appearance covered with some certain Scriptures wrested by thee joyning and annexing thy fallacies thereunto so conjuring by the mystery of witchcraft in the iniquity and lying wonders raising up false accusations and slanders but for the truths sake I shall through Gods assistance labour a little to clear the truth by taking away thy fallacies removing the deceit and setting truth in its place that the honest-hearted may thereby come to see whilst thou art pretending to lay open a mysterious work or design of Antichrist and casting thy mouth-floud after the woman that brings sorth the man-child accusing the innocent whom thou calls Quakers altogether upon unjust grounds so thy covers being taken off the innocent will be cleared whom thou accusest under the nick-name of Quakers and whilst thou art pretending to discover a Satanical plot or unfold his mysterious actings thou wilt be sound the chief plotter in his design and one that art disguised acting deep under a mysterious vail by a Satanical spirit in the mystery of iniquity and so truth being cleared in some measure as hereafter will appear the people called Quakers will be found out of delusion and the mysterious workings thou seeks to charge them withal but they being found in the Covenant of grace and under the power of the Lord thou w●lt be

else for ever be ashamed and confounded Satan would have given money for that by Simon Magus but he and his money was to perish that thought to buy the Holy Ghost or receive the great power of God thereby Act. 8.18 19 20. The Holy Ghost was given by the power of God through the Apostles laying on of hands Act. 8.17 and Satan could not get it neither with money nor without it when he laboured for it and healing was a gift of God given by his power to his Apostles and it could not be bought neither did Satan ever receive that power it was alwayes kept from him and given to the Apostles of Christ onely Mar. 16.18 19 20. and though some of Satans friends would have cast out the unclean spirit they could not Satan never received that power nor never can therefore seeing thou hast so laid open thy deceit in thy false Astronomical judgement as thou calls it the worlds wonder but I say lying wonder invented in the mystery witchcrafts in the iniquity but thou art known to be of the dark power to be amongst the Antichrists false Prophets and Satanical Ministers in the transformings yet the power of healing by laying on of the hands he cannot purchase for thee nor give unto his for take this granted and seeing thou art so carried on to lie blaspheme and speak evil against Christ and his power therfore let all the world and all who hath any care of their souls take heed of thee or hearkening to thy lying divinations I warn them from the Lord as they will answer it before his judgement seat in the terrible day of his wrath wherein the strong man shall cry bitterly Zeph. 1.14 c. And also let the world and all that hath any care of their souls take heed both of thee and all such as thou art and let them take heed and give over following or hearkening to any such Antichristian Ministers whose end will be as their works are and as thine is for they are evil so will thy end be now that they are warned from the Lord by his spirit in his servant it is good for them that they turn from thee and all such deceivers in the deceivableness of unrighteousness as thou art so in regard there hath been so much of thy deceit made manifest and thy falshood discovered all along in thy book I know the wise hearted will see it and judge it and I having also warned the world and all that desires to fear God and serve him of thee and such like to beware Take warning and turn from thee and such as thou art least they and you fall together into the pit let them fear and amend and so I shall draw towards an end For that in thy 46. page where thou hast been telling the Baptized people thou had a Communion with a society of people which is now as thou sayes wholly broke off from thee I say they being guided by the light of Christ to see into that Mystery of iniquity thou art in and so know thy subtilty and sophistry It was a part of their duty to leave thee and break off from thee and thy deceivableness and now if they abide in the light and be faithful to the reachings thereof it will be another part of their duty to declare against thee and thy deceit and no more to have any fellowship with thee nor thy unfruitful works of darkness but rather reprove them and thee Eph. 5.11 And though thou be f●attering the baptized people and tell them thy conceivings of their way and thy hindrances and now even as it were goes a begging unto them let them see if thy own ends be not the cause of the flattery and if thy necessity would not cause thee to fly thither for they own ends to have a hypocrites seal amongst them and a cover to shelter thee under let them take heed what they do and how they keep company with thee as they will answer it before the Lord all such amongst them as desire to fear him now that they are warned and thy deceit so discovered and if they take counsel of God they will drive thee back and keep from thee and out of the delusions and ecclipses mystery of iniquity Astrology and star-gazing and not believe thee in thy lying words in that Astronomical judgement thou calls the worlds wonder or the book called the Blazing star And now a few words to thy last page or that called the word to a Book which thou calls The worlds wonders Where thou are telling in thy book it may expect a hue and cry to be sent after it very shortly Reply Thou the thief art guilty and fear surpriseth the hypocrits heart for thou sayes to thy book It may not expect from thee any defence by raising and Army of reasonings argumentations and disputings neither by thy pen not word Reply Thou hast filled it so full of lies and falshoods that the devil in thee cannot enable thee to defend them for truths and so thou hast left them to be broke through and scattered and thy lies and falshoods being turned back upon thee again thy burden thou must bear for now truth strikes at thy deceits and hath proved them to be as a mighty flood come out of the mouth of the serpent whereby Antichrist hath been casting forth all manner of opprobrious lies and disgraceful speeches and blasphemy against the Lamb and the woman that hath brought forth the man-child yet the child is caught up and both the woman and child is preserved and the Dragon he is now encountred and beaten back to lye in his hole who hath sent forth his book like a Goliah even in the defiance of the truth but not able to defend it self nor thou to help it and him who hast spoken to it great swelling words out of the pride of thy heart saying go forth in thy own strength like a mighty man of war even Goliah like and now goes David or a souldier belonging to Israel in the spirit and of the Army of the Lamb one of the servants of the Lord hath met thy Goliah or man of war and taken his sword and cut off his head not by the arme of flesh nor in his own power and strength but in the power and strength of the Lord. And I say now praised be the Lord who hath guided hand and heart and hath set truth above over the deceit and preserved his servants from the enemies fiery dart and doth so much assist his people as to take their part and set them free from their enemies that they may prize his great and glorious name And now I say to this my book Go thou forth not in my name power or strength as a man but in the name power and strength of the Lord to do his service and so from me in the same Go thou forth in the power of the Lord and be victorious and the blessing
