And the LORD said unto me cast it unto the Potter a goodly price that I was prized at of them And I took the thirty pieces of silver and cast them to the potter Matth. 27. 9.

To HIM gave all the Prophets witness that through His NAME whosoever believeth in HIM shall receive remission of sins All things that are written of ME have an end saith Christ. It is sure and a convertable Rule nothing was done by Christ but it was foretold And nothing was ever foretold of Christ by the Prophets which was not done and which was not fulfilled It would take up some years to compare the Prophets and Evangelists the Prediction and the History and to Discourse at large how the one Foretells and the other Answers HE CHRIST must be Apprehended it was fore-prophesied The Anointed of the LORD was taken in their Nets saith Jeremiah But how HE must be sold For what Thirty Pieces of Silver And what must those do Buy a Field all foretold They took thirty pieces of silver the price of Him that was valued and gave them for the Potters field saith Zachery By whom That Child of Perdition that the Scripture might be fulfilled Which was he it is foretold He that eateth Bread with me saith the Psalmist But what shall his Disciples do Flee from Him so saith the Prophesie I will smite the Shepherd and the Sheep shall be scattered saith Zachary And so on O consider of these things and lay them to heart you that say you cannot call HIM that was born that suffered Death on the Cross CHRIST but call HIM a Vail a Figure a Garment a Vessel What did the Prophets foretel that a Virgin should conceive and bring forth a Vail a Garment or a Figure O ye Blasphemers Is this your Scripture Language you so often call for in opposition to the word Trinity and Sacraments as if indeed you had been zealous for the Scriptures Ye Hypocrites what can you not call Him Christ only a Figure HE who was the Substance of all Figures and Shadows in whom they end and were but Types of HIS coming Christ is the end of the Law what Law the Ceremonial Law it was referred to HIM observed of HIM fulfilled in HIM abolish't by HIM 'T is plain that those Jewish Ceremonies look't at CHRIST Circumcision Passover the Tabernacle both outer and inner the Temple the Laver both the Altars the Table of Shew-bread the Candlesticks the Vail the Holy of Holies the Ark the Pot of Manna Aaron's Rod the High Priest his Order and Line his Habits his Inaugurations his Washings Anointing the Sacrifice c.

Keith who was Persecuted by the Quakers in Pensilvania for his Christian Testimony The Second Edition with some Alteration and Additions by Francis Bugg Babylon is fallen is fallen and is become the Habitation of Devils and the Hold of every foul Spirit and a Cage of every unclean and hateful Bird.

Licensed June 18th 1694. London Reprinted for the Author and are to be Sold by J. Gwillim Book-seller in Bishops-gate-street 1694. The Preface to the Christian Reader Christian Reader There are two things put me upon this Preface First Geo. Whitehead and his Abettors's Inveterate Malice calling me and others Old canker'd Apostates Vile Apostates Self-condemn'd Apostates Unruly Beasts Betraying Judasses Wolves Dogs Enemies of all Righteousness Children of the Devil Devils Incarnate Heathens Atheists c. Indeed their Books are so very Malicious and Defamatory as well as their private Whisperings and Backbitings that some even of themselves have been constrained to give me under their Hands a Testimony in Writing against the unchristian Treatment which I have met withal namely T. Bird J. Ellington J. Mason W. Belsham and above Twenty more Quakers belonging to Mildenhall-Meeting And yet not worse Language than they have given the Publick Ministry as Witches Devils Gormandizing Priests c. as anon will appear And whoever discovers their Errors and displays them in their proper Colours must expect to meet with something of this kind And that being fore-seen have doubtless been taken for a tolerable Excuse by abler Pens from stooping to such an Undertaking as this And thereupon I may the more rationally expect the more favourable Censure for what might have been done better by the Learned 't is enough to me to be thought worthy in this great Work of discovering the greatest Heresie that ever sprang up in our Age to be as the Carpenter's Man whose Work is to hew off the rough and knotty pieces of the Timber to make it more ready for better Workmen To be Contentious I grant is an Offence the Scriptures condemn with no little keenness whilst it exhorts to contend earnestly for the Faith once delivered to the Saints From whence I conceive that though I contend against Quakerism with some Symptoms of Zeal I am not therefore Contentious nor though I may retract yea write against some Errors I formerly held and upon Conviction have forsaken I am not therefore a Self-condemned Apostate as G. W. dreams If you think me too smart in some passages against Persons 't is against their Leaders if against their Opinions I have from their own Books proved them Erroneous and Blasphemous which ought to be reproved sharply And that their Opinions are so I have never refused to make Proof of to their faces on Condition when proved they would engage a Retractation nay sometimes without any such Engagement See Quakerism Anatomized p. 2. I cannot call Gall and Poyson by sweet and lovely Names I must alter my Style according to the Matter and Occasion or else all will be out of Tune and no more Harmony than Harp and Harrow Bishop Jewel and other Reformers they wrote smartly against the Papists and most exquisitely displayed their Errors and yet they protested they were in Charity and desired nothing more than that they would have hearkened to them and forsaken their Errors And I do say nothing would please me better than to see this People Condemn what is Erroneous amongst them and persevere in the Truth and the Knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ True God and Perfect Man in One Person Object But if any Object in favour of them That though they do not Preach Christ without unless since G. K. came over as he is in Heaven above nor believe him to be distinct from his Saints nor Pray in the Name of Jesus to God the Father thereby owning him in his Mediator-ship nor make Confession of Sin to God in Prayer nor beg Pardon for the same But look at Christ within the Light within his Crucifixion within his Intercession within nor a Bible to be seen in their Meetings for they are above such Carnal things Yet they have among them many good Exhortations and they own Christ to be the Word of God the Power of God the Wisdom of God will not this do Supposing they mean all to be within yea Heaven and Hell all within c. Answ The Mahumetans hold Abraham to be the Friend of God and Moses the Messenger of God and Christ the Breath of God And they Punish such as speak against Christ whose Religion was not say they taken away but mended by Mahomet Heylin's Cosmog lib. 3. p. 104. And our Saviour is called in their Alchoran The Word the Power the Soul and Strength of God c. The Lives of the Patriarchs Printed 1694. See the Word Alchoran Insomuch that if the Quakers do not come to this Result to own the same Jesus that was born of the Virgin smote with Palms of their Hands Crucified Dead Buried Rose again and in the sight of the Galileans ascended into Heaven and publickly Condemn their Books which Teach the contrary they cannot deserve the Name Christian c. I am not unsensible what little Arts they have used to blast my Reputation that thereby they may obstruct the Service of my Books but their Expectation hath failed them Then they Indicted me in London for Printing without License yet they do the same But they say I put up a Mock-Pillory I grant I did and that to shew what they actually deserved upon their own Proposals to Authority Did not they erect the Form and Figure of a Child's Penny horning Battle-door for the Bishops Clergy and Gentry to Learn the English of Tu and Vos Signed by G. Fox a Shoe-maker c. Was not this as great an Affront to them as mine could be to the Twelve Quakers See Quakerism Withering c. p. 61. But how did they bestir themselves to Persecute me How did they run up and down to great Persons both on Foot and by Coach and all to Suppress me And had they had a Jury of Quakers I had been Cast but
as the Quakers do account it sufficient But with that worthy Martyr Dr. Robert Barns say Acts and Mon. p. 610. I believe in the holy and blessed Trinity that created and made all the World I believe that without Man's Will or Power Christ Jesus was conceived by the Holy Ghost and took Flesh of the blessed Virgin Mary that HE suffered thirst hunger and cold which as he was God he could not do mark that old Friends and other Passions of our Bodies sin excepted according to the saying of St. Peter And I believe that this his Death and Passion was the sufficient Ransom for my sins and the sins of the whole World and I believe that through his death he overcame sin death and hell and that there is no other Satisfaction unto the Father but his Death and Passion only and that no Works of Man did deserve any thing of GOD but only Christ's Passion touching our Justification For I know said this humble Martyr that the best Works that ever I did is impure and imperfect And according to the Faith of this worthy Martyr the Publick Ministers teach and I believe not but that Dr. Barns was a good Man walked circumspectly had great regard to the Dictates of his Conscience and the Guidance of the Light abstained from that which was evil and followed that which was good and every way as became a good Man as compleatly as the most perfect Quaker in England notwithstanding their high boasting yet you see he did not lean upon his own Deservings but upon the Death and Passion of Jesus Christ even the Merits of HIS Death who suffered thirst hunger and cold who was born of the Virgin and made like unto us sin excepted c. nor did he pretend to a sinless Perfection as the Quakers vainly boast of but humbly acknowledged that the best Works that ever he did was impure and unperfect and this made him rely and lean wholly upon the Merits of another even the Sacrifice of that Immaculate Lamb Christ Jesus his Death and bitter Passion which the Quakers never preach up as necessary to believe Search all their Epistles read in their Meetings hear all their Sermons if ever you hear such a Passage as came from this humble Martyr I will be your Bond slave And thus have I given an additional Proof that the Quakers are of a different Faith from the Martyrs and all true Christian Churches and when I came to understand these their Fundamental Errours which was after I had wrote three or four Books against them in reproof of their Hypocrisie about outward Ceremonies Church Government their pretending to preach write suffer and do all things freely when alas it was all but a cheat they took Money Gifts and Reward for all nay sometimes as in the Instance of Sam. Cater 10 l. where they suffered not 10 d. See New Rome p. 54. to 68. I say after I had thus been brushing at the outside or skirts of Religion for some years it pleased GOD in mercy to open my understanding and to shew me by the Rule of Holy Writ and through the Assistance of His Holy Spirit the Quakers great and Fundamental Errours and then I could not be silent but that too for the sake of many amongst them who have a Zeal I bear them record though not according to knowledge but was constrained to unmask their blind Guides who have caused them to err And if in my Zeal against their pernicious ways I seem to exceed they of all People may bear with me And now to the Trial now to the Examination Who are the true Ministers and the false who are the Worlds Teachers Alluding to the Quakers distinction whose Maxim is to call all but themselves of the World or the Worlds People or the Worlds Teachers c. and who are the Ministers of Christ And though I dare not pretend to know Gods People so as to give an infallible Character of another Mans state as the Quakers do yet I hope to make a truer Description than they have done But for this I must have a Rule and that Rule must be the Holy Scriptures and by the evident Testimony of that let my Work stand or fall A DISCOVERY OF THE WORLDS TEACHERS 1. The Quakers who teach that the Names JESUS and CHRIST do not properly belong to the Body that suffered upon the Cross at Jerusalem nor preach'd it up as a necessary Article of Faith to believe that Salvation is obtained through the Merits of his Death and Passion They are of the World they are the Deceivers and Antichrists 2. The Quakers who teach that the Name Jesus and Christ belong to the whole Body and to every Member in the Body as well and as amply as to Christ the HEAD are of the World and Deceivers 3. The Quakers who teach that the Body of Christ was of an earthly perishing Nature like ours are of the World and Deceivers 4. The Quakers who adore Mortal Men and give those Divine Attributes to Geo-Fox due only to CHRIST are of the World and Deceivers 5. The Quakers who teach that he that hath the same Spirit which raised up Jesus Christ is equal with GOD and which Spirit they pretend to have and by it give forth their Epistles c. and therefore of the World great Deceivers and horrible Blasphemers 6. The Quakers who teach that Josiah Coal being dead is ASCENDED and that IN Edw. Burroughs whilst living was THE ALMIGHTY POWER OF GOD and that the FULNESS dwelt in him of Grace and Vertue are of the World and gross Idolaters 7. The Quakers who teach that Geo. Fox's coming out of the North naked not known prophesied of writ from the Mouth of the LORD c. are Deceivers Impostors and of the World 8. The Quakers who teach that the Gospel is dust Matthew Mark Luke and John which is the Letter say they and that such are Ministers of the Letter are Ministers of Death which is Serpents-meat that say the Sacraments are dust c. are of the World and great Deceivers 9. The Quakers who teach that it is as justifiable to burn the Bible as the Books wrote by Geo. Fox Geo. Whitehead and others of their way are Decivers and impudent Impostors 10. The Quakers that teach that the Scriptures are uncertain and that what the true Prophets say is false and what the false Prophets said is true what good men spake therein is ill applied and what wise men spake therein is ill expressed and that whether Moses or Hermes was the first Penman of the Scripture is uncertain they are false Apostles deceitful Workers and their Doctrine tends to overthrow the Christian Faith 11. The Quakers who teach in one Book that the four Books Matthew Mark Luke and John are not the New Testament not the Rule for Christians to walk by and teach in another Book lately that the Scriptures are the New Testament Holy Scriptures c. are
c. And the Power of God thundered amongst them and they did flye like Chaff before it At last they asked me whether I was sanctified I answered Yes for I was in the Paradise of God c. Thus did he magnifie himself Equal with or Above Christ who said to the Thief on the Cross This day shalt thou be with me in Paradise Luke 23. 43. Shall signifies the future tense but I am is in the present tense Oh horrible surely when the Jews come to see the Quakers Golden Calf viz. G. F's Journal they will not know if they give equal Credit to that with St. Luke's History who is the Messiah G. Fox or Jesus of Nazareth the Turkish Alcoran being not more blasphemous The Perfect Quaker The Counterfeit Quaker News coming up out of the North Title Page c. Written from the Mouth of the Lord from one who is naked and stands naked before the Lord clothed with Righteousness whose Name is not known in the World Risen up out of the North which was prophesied of but now it is fulfilled c. Several Petitions answered c. p. 60. My Name is covered from the World and the World knows not me nor my Name G. Fox The Harmony c. p. 111. For Moses truly said A Prophet shall the Lord your God raise up unto you of your Brethren like unto me him shall you hear in all things John 1. 10. He i. e. Christ was in the World and the World was made by him and the World knew him not c. OBSERVATION Thus Reader did G. Fox vye with Christ and Edw. Burroughes and Fr. Howgill two of his Prophets ecchoed back saying in their Epistle entituled This is only to go amongst Friends p. 19. viz. Thou O North of England who art counted as desolate and barren and reckoned the least of the Nations yet out of thee did the Branch i. e. G. Fox spring and the Star arise out of thee did Kings Priests and Prophets come forth which uttered their Voices as Thunder and laid their Swords on the Necks of their Enemies P. 7. Spare none neither Ox nor Ass neither Old nor Young kill cut off destroy bath your Swords in the Blood of Amalek and all the Egyptians and Philistines and all the Uncircumcised and hew Agag to pieces break the Rocks cut down the Cedars and strong Oaks make the Devils subject cast out the unclean Spirits raise the Dead shut up in Prison bring out of Prison cast in your Nets launch into the Deeps divide the Fish gather the Good into Vessels cast the Bad away bind the Tares in Bundles cast them into the Fire P. 19. The planting of the Lord you are and his own purchased Possession he hath separated you from the Womb and hath called you out of Kindreds and ye are the Royal Seed of the Offspring of the Lord Almighty and all Nations shall call you blessed our Enemies are whole Nations that will not come under our Law stand upon your Feet and appear in your Terror as an Army with Banners and let the Nations know your Power and the Stroke of your Hand cut down on your right Hand and slay on the left and let not your Eye pity nor your Hand spare but wound the Lofty and tread under Foot the Honourable of the Earth and give unto the Great Whore double and give her no Rest day nor night but as she hath done so do unto her and give her double into her Bosom as she hath loved Blood so give her Blood to drink and dash her Children against the Stones and let none of the Heathen Nations nor their gods escape out of your Hands your Captains are mighty Men and your Leaders are skilled to handle the Sword and make War in Righteousness against the Beast and the false Prophets and cursed be every one that riseth not up to the help of the Lord against the Mighty the Beast is mighty and the false Prophet is great and they keep the Nations under their Power but Oh thou Beast and thou false Prophet you shall be tormented together thou Beast upon whom the False Prophet sits whom thou upholdest by thy Law and defendest by thy unrighteous power thy Power is limited and it shall be taken from thee and thou shalt be overcome and the Lamb shall get the Victory and into the Pit and Lake of Fire shall you be turned to have your resting place and thou False Prophet which have deceived the Nations thy Judgment is past upon thy Head already and the Decree of our God is sealed against thee thy Smoak shall ascend for ever and ever and of thy Sin there is no Remission over you we shall for ever rejoice and sing and over your God and your King the Dragon that old Serpent cursed be he and his Memorial for ever Reader pray dwell here a little and consider first what George Fox says of himself under the Perfect Quaker and how amply this Epistle which was to go only amongst themselves confirmed what he said and compared the North of England to the Town of Bethlehem and G. Fox to the Branch the Star the Son of Righteousness and what Miracles and Prophecies and Curses this Epistle is filled with which bears the figure of your private Sermons by which they scared and frighted me and many more from the Publick And now they have obtained their End and made Rents and Division in Church and State in Towns and Families now they begin to threaten all that oppose them as if none must write but themselves but their Horns are short they can only hiss grin and bark Canes timidi vehementer latrant The Perfect Quaker Jesus of Nazareth The Watch c. p. 37. But to the end of all Disputes and Arguments I am come for before they was I am said Jam. Parnel John 8. 5 8. Verily verily before Abraham was I am OBSERVATION Reader this most horrid Blasphemy need no Remark 't is so obvious 'T is like G. Fox's Saying That he was before Languages or Confusions were Yet Whitehead pretends he has not plain Proof he still calls for Proof though confuted from plain Matter of Fact I know not his Fellow for Confidence but I proceed The Perfect Quaker A Question to Professors c. p. 33. Now the Scriptures do expresly distinguish between Christ and the Garment which he wore between him that came and the Body in which he came there was plainly he and the Body in which he came there was the outward Uessel and the Inward Life This we certainly know and can never call the Bodily Garment Christ but that which appeared and dwelt in the Body P. 20. To whom do the Names and Titles of Jesus and Christ chiefly and in the first place belong Do they belong to the Body which was took by him or to him who took the Body P. 27. Is not the Substance the Light the
