Fox is all Professors Great Mystery p. 99. and Teachers upon the Earth and Kings of the Earth Ravened inwardly from the Light standing against the Light and the Lamb and the Saints and are not to be Receiv'd into the Houses of the Saints neither to bid them God speed Now Paying of Reverence to them by taking off the Hat or Giving them their Civil Titles is an Implicit owning of them or Bidding them God speed Which is the Reason why the Quakers will not do it And the Reason is as Plain è Contra That if they had a King who obey'd the Light that is a Quaker-King they wou'd Bid him God speed c.

Fox near an Hours time and that he did not at all Reprove her So Greatly cou'd he keep his Port And Act not only Regal but a Papal state Which the Quakers think to be Vsurped by all Others but Themselves And Intend to Recover it wholly from them as soon as they are Able For as all Kings upon the Earth are Adjudg'd by them to have quite Ravened away from the Light and consequently by their Principles have Forfeited their Right to their Crowns so the Quakers do not Despair of coming into Possession of all and every Post of Government from King down to Constable When they come in none must have a share George Fox in his News coming out of the North. p. 18.
