and Professors and Rabble of unrighteous people may rejoyce Is not this thy work And really so how canst thou have a face to deny it Dost not thou seek to destroy our Lives and Reputations in the Truth by rendring us Apostates and Innovators And what a Hurry and Pudder didst thou and thine Adherents make concerning John Story how we went about to unminister him because we desired him to return into the North and first to be Reconciled to his Brethren before he came and offered his Gift otherwise he would go out in a contentious Spirit to the sowing of Strife and Sedition amongst the Churches Now consider thy own work who hast espoused his Cause what havock thou makest to lay waste the Heritage of God not only according to thy Ability to go about to unminister Gods faithful Labourers in the Work of his Gospel but also to unchristian them by rendring them Apostates and Innovators Oh! wicked Spirit and unbridled Tongue And what parallel is this Thy Publishing of thy wicked Book against Gods People as a common Adversary to Gods Truth and his People endeavouring to be believed in thy wicked work and also as it were to curse Gods Heritage from being his People and faithful Servants if thou hadst power according to thy will as is too evident by the prosecution of thy wicked Work and so art in Balaam's way I say what parallel is this if all had been true what thou hast written writing it in a malicious Spirit to Pauls withstanding Peter to his Face before all men which is false It is not before all men but before them all as is to be further shewn hereafter Did Paul publish this to the World and all men to render him an Apostate and Innovator and all of his Spirit who had Unity with him as thou hast done us Nay it is manifest that Peter received and owned the plain-dealing and love of his Brother Paul and felt it to come from the Spirit of Love and true-heartedness to him And it was so far from making a breach between them that it more nearly united them And afterwards Peter very affectionately speaks of his beloved Brother Paul and of his Epistles in which says he are some things hard lo be understood which they that are unlearned and unstable wrest as they do also the other Scriptures unto their own destruction 2 Pet. 3.15 16. As thou hast endeavoured to pervert the plain dealing of Paul with Peter to serve thy own turn and thy false end in Printing us to the World as Apostates and Innovators c. And what if this be now made publick it is a work quite contrary to thine and from another Spirit and to another end O William If thou couldst but see thy work and repent of it how glad should I be I have pitied thee and wished thee better imployment And whereas thou reflects upon me in the sixth part p. 21. saying That I act like such as have had their Education at Bilingsgate amongst the Scolds rather than under the Roof of sober Families Blessed be God I act against thee as the Lord does give me a good understanding and see thee to be of a wicked Spirit in Korah's way and State of Rebellion and of Cain's murtherous Line I mean spiritually and how impudent art thou to compare my Education with the Education of the Scolds at Bilingsgate I have had for this thirty years or thereabouts my Education in the blessed Truth and always was in thy best condition thy Elder in it and have never yet deserved thy base language concerning my Education And before I was convinced of the Truth I was of better behaviour than thou now art for I then loved good and honest people who feared the Lord and wrought Righteousness in their day and Generation and sought and enquired after the knowledge of the Lord from my young and tender years but thou art in a Rebellious State against Gods faithful Servants Alas William is this thy work to abuse Me and many grave Ancients in Israel who have kept their Habitations in the Truth Herein I may a little boast to stop thy mouth Bring forth the Person who this thirty years last past can tax my Life and Conversation or Education that I have not had my Education so in the Truth that I have been in my Life what I have Doctrinally Preached forth I speak this to the Praise of Gods Grace and testifie in the fear of God against thy slanderous tongue But it is like thee who art guided by an unruly and rebellious Spirit who hast corrupted thy manners by thy evil words who art turned against the Truth and thy Tongue is at liberty to abuse those that have kept their Habitations in it Thou art a quarrelsom man and thy impudence is so great that thou endeavourest to supplant the Righteous seed and abuse Gods faithfull Labourers in his Vineyard by rendring them as Apostates and Innovators and so art mischievous in thy undertakings and we know thou art a false Accuser and thou endeavourest to stop the course of our Testimonies that we may not be believed as Christian Ministers by thy false insinuations who would prejudice both Friends and others against us to stop their Ears from hearing the Truth declared by us O wicked envious Spirit do thy worst What canst thou do with all thy power Gods pure simplicity being kept unto amongst his people they easily discern thee to be an Apostate and faln Spirit if ever thou hadst a condition in the Truth And if ever thou hadst then wast thou but a Novice in it and yet hast taken upon thee a mischievous work to run out with thy Horns against such as G. F. G. W. and my self and many others rendring us Apostates and Innovators But we truly comprehend thee to be got up into presumption lifted up with pride and art fallen into the condemnation of the Devil And therefore it is that thou art become malicious and hast not kept thy first State in the Truth but hast left that habitation according to thy measure which thou hadst in it And now thou appearest in thy wickedness against the Living God and in this State except thou canst find a place of Repentance thou art reserved in the everlasting Chains of Darkness unto the Judgment of the Great day And whereas thou reflects and despises that good Government of Christ that the God of Heaven hath erected and established amongst us by his Spirit and Power the ground and foundation of which in my Epistle of Caution I have in measure laid down I believe to the satisfaction of all innocent Friends that fear God Yet thy foul Spirit is so offended at this work that thou art evil affected towards it under the colour of Impositions and Innovations and forcing a Conformity upon Conscience vefore Conviction and without Faith Unto which I answer Without Faith it is impossible to please God And therefore we perswade men by the force
