Errors certainly he that can see with his own Eyes will see the Tendency of what R. B. and his Twenty four Brethren hath said is to cloak and cover gross Errors yea and Doctrine of Devils R. B. in his 6th page whereupon no better Proof than a Perhaps or for ought he knows blames D. S. and then he goes on may I not with the same sort of reason argue against him that perhaps or for ought I know it may be undeniably proved upon him that he is a Thief or a Murderer we perceive this grosser R. B. do not understand Common Sense for what can be undeniably proved upon a Thief or a Murderer is not for ought I know but there is so much Nonsense that we need not take much pains to refute him for undeniably is not a perhaps or for ought I know we would have the Reader well observe that R. B. in his Eighth page where he makes his Complaint against D. S. how distasteful their Errors are and says he the next step would have the Authors burnt least there should be any more such Books ' its evident he would have more erroneous Books writ and have People believe them as Truths and if they will not believe them then they are call'd unruly Spirits Apostates c. Had not R. B. and the Twenty four his Brethren been Cloakers of gross Errors they had no need to have made such a great Out-cry of their being scandalized calling it a malicious Libel and then to cheat the People calls themselves Christian Quakers If they had been such as they have Titled themselves they would not have been offended with D. S. in writing to clear the true Christian Quakers but this have been evident that Sam. Jennings have Preached and prayed in publick Meetings who have been proved Guilty of gross Errors and yet we have not heard of any Paper of Condemnation he have given forth nor Robert Bridgman nor his Twenty four Brethren against him and the rest Guilty of the like Errors and for the sake of the Innocent we have set down some as may be seen more at large in the Plea of the Innocent T. F. said that he owned no Man Christ Jesus as Mediator in Heaven without him but the Grace of God within him page 11th and in the same page He argued against our beloved Friend G. Keith That Christ was only a Spirit in Heaven and had nothing of the Body of man in Heaven and at another Meeting he said he had not learned that Lesson whether it was the Godhead or something else that Christ took of the Virgin that was nailed to the Cross Excluding the Man Christ Jesus his Death Resurrection Ascension and Meditation for us in Heaven J. Wilsford said at a Meeting That Christ was no Mediator for Drunkards nor wicked Persons but for his own own Disciples contrary to the express Testimony Isa 53. 12. Psal 68. and the same Person at a Meeting in West-Jersey said in Prayer Lord that we may not dote on the Body to neglect the Life And in page 12th Some denying God's Presence in all his Creatures another Preaches that Christ cureth mens Souls perfectly at once and maketh them free from all sin and when we are perfect we are Kings and are not to pray to God for our selves and at J. Goodsons S. Jennings accused G. Keith and so did J. Simcock for preaching Faith in Christ without us calling it the Professors Faith and the Faith of all Christendom that did not Profit And Tho. Ducket said he could not determine whether that Body that was Crucified was in Heaven or not What a Preacher here is and Sam. Jennings said to do Gods business we needed Gods Wisdom and Power but to do our own as men we needed it not Page 13th W. Walker said in a publick Meeting That a man might speak unsound words in the Life and at another time he bid wait that the Scepter might depart from Judah and that Shilo might come and stampt it in the name of the Spirit in Page the 14th H. Willis openly declared himself an Vnbeliever of Christ coming without us to Judge the quick and the Dead which is a great Article of the Christian Faith had not R. B. and his Twenty four Brethren been Connivers and Cloakers of these and many more gross Errors that could be charged and proved from their Books in Print they would never been offended with D. S's Christian Testimony and Confession And for a Conclusion let that be a sign between you and the true Christian Quaker as G. White has offered in his Reply to come forth and give a publick Meeting for as the Scripture saith of making Books there is no end and let the Reader know that the Christian Quakers disowns all those Errors that are here mentioned with all the rest that are manifest in Print so shall we conclude and Subscribe our selves as in Truth we are well Wishers to all men G. C. E. N. Berks the 18th of the 10th Month 1694. POSTSCRIPT WE Refer our Reader to a Treatise Titled The Christian Faith of the People of God call'd Quakers in Rode Island in which may be seen what the true Christian Quakers Faith is and that they are not ashamed to Confess it to the whole World Also 19. Queries by way of a further Reply to a Paper published by J. Vaughton J. Feilde Ch. Marshal Will. Bingly and others being in number Twenty four and also to their Brother R. B. which make their number to be Twenty five Seeing thou R. B. and thy Twenty four Brethren have taken upon you the Guilt of those Errors and horrid Blasphemies of your Brethren charged on them by F. Bugg we have here added these following Queries desiring you to answer them or abandon the Name of Christian Quaker that you would seem to take on you which cannot be allowed you by any rational Man while you cover and cloak such vile Errors c. Q. 1. How dared you espouse those gross Errors of Tho Fitzwater R. Young and T. Lloyd viz. O God that died in us and laid down thy Life in us and took it up again and that when Christ ascended he was separated from his Body that Faith in Christ without us as he died for our sins and rose again was not necessary to our Salvation Q. 2. Had it not been better for you rather to have given out a Christian Testimony against them for their said Blasphemous Expressions and against S. Jennings and others Persecutions of G. Keith T. Budd c. Q. 3. Why do you not answer F. Buggs first Charge who saith the Quakers denied him Who was born of the Virgin Mary who suffered Death upon the Cross at Jerusalem who rose again the Third day and ascended into Heaven in the sight of the Galileans to be Christ the Saviour of the World Seeing D. S. clears the true Christian Quakers of this gross Charge it lyeth at your Door to clear your selves thereof
